News Sickens Me

Please read with caution. If you have a squeamish stomach, please stop here.

I almost want to stop reading the news online. Why? Because the news sickens me. How and why people do things so horrible and think that they can get away with it? Where do they get these wild outlandish ideas that they can do the things they do?

In our local newspaper today, I opened an article about an abuse case. No big deal, abuse happens every day. That's not what I was thinking. But some of you may be thinking that. It's ok and your right, abuse does happen every day. I have an abuse history, I was the abused. Never, ever again!
Family charged in bizarre abuse case
More than bizarre! A horrible story!

Woman Dead In Despicable Home. Another horrible story!

Former sheriff sentenced in corruption case. What in the heck could he be thinking? Did he think that he was smart enough not to get caught? If anyone should know better, it should be a former sheriff.

36 Million Drivers Would Flunk Drivers Tests. I've been saying this all along. And I think I have to drive with about 50% of them every time we have to go into the city. Even if you think you are a safe driver, please take a look at National Road Safety Foundation. They are offering free programs to the public. What have you got to loose by not looking? Nothing but your life!

Local School Lockdown

I am so thankful today that we made the decision to home school. Why? Because our 3 boys were not involved in the school lockdown.
Lockdown at Bronson schools ends. This is what I saw on the headlines of our local newspaper when I started reading it today. What was the first few words I saw? Lockdown at Bronson schools.
"Officials had received reports that a 15-year-old had run away from home and may have taken three guns with him."
I got nervous when I saw it. I was scared and concerned and I wondered if everyone was safe. I don't want to hear from anyone who says this can't happen in their schools or their neighborhood. Because it can! Two of the schools are about 1/4 of a mile from the Sheriff's Office. Yes - that close.
I read the article to the boys and they were concerned. All 3 of them ask me to please not send them back to public school. This is something that children should not be concerned about. If it's not one thing in public school, it's another.
