Parenting as a Crime

Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children in this country. This stunning and horrifying fact angers us. The United States also has the highest number of school shootings of any developed nation. This is particularly upsetting since school is supposed to be a safe haven for children: a place to learn, play, and discover who they are and who they want to be. Our hearts ache for the parents who have lost their children or whose children have been traumatized by a shooting. We live in fear that our children’s school will be next.
