With a suspect now in custody, hopefully the parents, children and staff at Red Apple Elementary (and the entire Racine area) can breathe a sigh of relief and try to return to normalcy. With TV crews from the Milwaukee news stations, along with at least a half-dozen police cars camped out outside the school all day, there has been very little “normal” happenings at the school. The children are frightened enough, police cars and news vans only make it worse.
Many are still playing the blame game – this needs to stop! This horrific incident was certainly a tragedy, but the real tragedy is if we as a community learn nothing from it. We need to stop trying to find someone to blame and start doing what is right for our community – our children are counting on us. Admittedly, we were lulled into thinking something like this could never happen, but it did. We need to be more vigilant for our children – they are our most precious gifts and they deserve a happy childhood.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all affected, I cannot imagine the pain you must be feeling.
