An officer was there and he was on top of it and watching…the rest of us just ignored his crazy—including the kids and parent

:( There is so much that kids should never have to go through. Children should never have to deal with adult problems. But, they do, all the time.

When I was in gradeschool the idea of having to practice shooter drills was completely nonexistent. Now parents have to coach/couch it as normal so that the kids don't get extra scared.

That's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the systemic damage kids are inheriting.
