"A conversation with my Son Gavin while driving him to school this morning. Gavin says, "Mom, I used to be afraid of "Code Red" at school but now I am not anymore. I ask, "What does "Code Red" mean?" Gavin says, "A school shooter" "He then tells me that after he finishes big exams he imagines if a school shooter comes in the school what he would do to hide and how one of his teachers keeps a baseball bat in the room just in case this happens." "He says, his teacher wants the biggest and strongest kid to hide behind the door and bash the shooter's head in." We both started discussing the horrible tragedy that happened at the Ft. Lauderdale airport last week and and Gavin mentioned someone hiding under a dead person at the Sandy Hook Shooting years ago. I reflected back to my own childhood and remembered fears of a tornado coming after we had to do tornado drills however, I know for sure we did not have to face what our children fear today." - Lisa Henderson "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.
