A visit to David

Today, I am traveling out to see David. So excited to see the little man.  It has been a month since we placed him out there. Tweet #fighting4answrs

gun violence – a potential.

With that kind of title, you are thinking that something is going on with David.  Not this time.  I have been working on a story.  A hypothetical if you wish.  I would like your opinion. Imagine if you will a young adult, who gets upset with a boy or girlfriend over a break up.  Now imagine that this upset individual steals the something from their ex, takes it out into a field in the middle of the pre-dawn hours and shoots it full of holes. Should I as a parent be concerned about having this person in school with my children?  They have already shown themselves to be prone to violent irrational behavior. What do you think?

what is David like?

In a lot of ways this could be David.  In some ways, I think David is worse.  In other ways, David could be better.  I haven’t been able to find a better example. I would welcome a conversation with the people who do these news stories. The problems we have in this country with Mental Illness aren’t going away any time soon.   here is a link to the school referenced in the video for my friends in New Mexico.  Pathways Academy Related articles A letter to my son.
