    VA - Boy, 6, in custody after shooting teacher, Newport News, Jan 2023 *mom charged* #3

    Can’t say much about this specific case as my lips are sealed. But yes kids can be taught empathy and lives can be different once the surroundings are changed. The issue is all the therapy in the world can help a kid but if the surrounding hasn’t changed that’s where it becomes harder to teach...

    Israel - Palestinian militants launch massive attack, 7 Oct 2023 #14

    I am so happy that Aisha and her brother were released. I was concerned since she’s Muslim that she was being kept for nefarious reasons. It also shows to me with Hamas kidnapping her and her family and the Thai workers that this was not just about Israel and Jews, it was about terror.

    I’m concerned about Aisha Al-Ziadna of the Bedouin community in Israel. She’s 16 and was kidnapped with her brothers and father.

    Israel - Palestinian militants launch massive attack, 7 Oct 2023 #13

    One thing I’ve not understood is why Egypt has a blockade against allowing Palestinians in to their country? Or why no other Arab country will accept them. I get Palestinians not wanting to leave their home but everything I’ve read says no one else will take them en masse so that the civilians...

    TX - Active shooter at Allen Shopping Mall, multiple victims, 6 May 2023

    As someone who works in mental health, our entire system is a mess. I have kids threatening various things daily but residential placements won’t accept them because they are too violent or too severe so the option is back to the same environment that may or may not have contributed to the...

    AL - Mass shooting at teen’s birthday party, 20 + shot, 4 + dead, Dadeville, 14 Apr 2023

    I know some rumors were more deceased than 4 thus I’m wondering if some of the deceased could be the shooters. Just odd though. Poor girl that was having a birthday party. The trauma that will now always be associated with her not so sweet sixteen.

    The cities in Hampton Roads all function independently so no counties so to speak.

    VA - 6-YEAR-OLD in custody after shooting teacher, Newport News, Jan 2023 *mom charged* #2

    As someone who works in the mental health field in VA, things have just been “messy” since the shooting incident. The schools hands are tied with what they can do but us in the mental health field are so limited by red tape and insurance. People are just not okay . The impacts of the pandemic...

    VA - 6-YEAR-OLD in custody after shooting teacher, Newport News, Jan 2023 *mom charged* #2

    I’ve been wondering that too. Are the parents connected to the school or the school board? It’s just odd that the parent at the Norfolk elementary gets immediately charged and identified after their 6 year old child brings a gun to school but nothing for NN. I know people are saying it’d be so...

    VA- 6-YEAR-OLD is in custody after shooting teacher

    As someone who lives in the same general area, I often ask that too. Are his parents known in the area? I’ve worked in mental health for years in VA and I’ve never seen a parent in class as part of a BIP, 504 plan or IEP. Mental health is an issue here. Reimbursement rate is atrocious for...

    TX - Uvalde; Robb Elementary, 19 children and 3 adults killed, shooter dead, 24 MAY 2022 #3

    Did his cousin who told him about the staggered lunches survive? I think he wanted to do this the day before or whenever the senior class was there doing the walk through but something else hasn’t arrived yet. My theory has been 112 was locked, 111 was broken and the middle doors between...

    TX - Uvalde; Robb Elementary, 19 children and 3 adults killed, shooter dead, 24 MAY 2022 #3

    I am so angry at PA. I am so heartbroken for these kids and their families. As a therapist, I can’t imagine the trauma impact that is happening and to know that a sooner response from police could’ve saved lives. I’ve had so many parents call since this incident saying I’m so worried that my...

    VA - 12 Dead including shooter, VA Beach Municipal Center, 31 May 2019

    This is my city and about 3 miles down the road. I kept hearing sirens all afternoon as I was outside but had no idea. I started getting alerts via phone but didn’t realize how devastating it was. Due to my job, I’ve been down in that area although not recently.

    MI - Former US Gymnastics Doctor Larry Nassar Charged With CSA *Guilty*

    A lot of the current elite gymnasts have been posting #wst for we stand together on instagram. I've read some of their posts about the fear that their dreams and goals will be lost in all of this. I feel horrible that the abuse happened, I just hope gymnasts like Ragan, Morgan, Ashton, Jade...

    MI - Former US Gymnastics Doctor Larry Nassar Charged With CSA *Guilty*

    I rarely post but I always read. I remember that Indy Star investigation and those journalists allowed someone to find her voice and to speak up which then allowed all these survivors to stand together. I've been a gymnastics fan forever. It's definitely one of my favorite sports to watch. Back...

    CA - 13 victims, ages 2 to 29, shackled in home by parents, Perris, 15 Jan 2018 #2

    I know in VA they have adult foster care as an option but I have no clue if CA has it. This 17 year old girl is a hero to me. I just cannot imagine the fear and thoughts going through her mind after making the 911 call and until the police arrived. That had to be the scariest moments/minutes of...

    Found Safe TX - Lili Griffith, 14, & Lulu Bandera-Magret, 7, Round Rock, 30 Dec 2017

    I've been reading about 500 posts back to back during this east coast snow storm and just praying and hoping all the posts were because a miracle occurred. I'm so glad they were found safe. I hope they have supporting family to help them with all the trauma they have experienced. Sent from my...

    NV - 59 Dead, over 500 injured in Mandalay Bay shooting in Las Vegas, 1 Oct 2017 #4

    I'm just so confused now with the time line change. Either way it is awful, horrible and in my opinion a terrorist attack as terror was inflicted. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk
