We should be focusing on the victims and their families… we should be focusing on the children that saw and heard the horror as it was happening… we should be focusing on making sure mental health services are available to everyone and that everyone gets the proper diagnosis and treatment… we should be focusing on not turning the perpetrators of such heinous acts into overnight celebrities… Gun control can wait… Events like these bring on social and mental disorders in these still developing children… and then the cycle begins all over again… Help the Children First!
