A place of panic

The area I live in and the school district my oldest child, along with other family members and children of friends attend is in a little tizzy at the moment. On the 25th apparently some 21 year old man in a drunken state was talking about the mass shooting that has happened in this country over the years. How he knew the one that did the shooting and that they are "friends." Not sure how much is true, or if it was only for his drunken state.
This man attends college at our local university. I live about 3 to 5 miles away from Lock Haven University. The same college that he attends and so does one of my good friends and a family member. As far as i know there has been no threat to shoot out our local middle school or high school, but the parents in the area are in a panic.
It seems the school knows about it and the rumor of this man to attempt to get into the schools and shoot people. It has been claimed that he agrees with the other shooters from the other mass shootings that it is okay to go into a school or other type of building and shoot people for bullying. It has been said that his friends say he would be one who would do something like a mass shooting. Someone has even said that he had a line from a Green Day song "I'm not sick, but I'm not well" posted on his Facebook status update.

I for one do not know how much of this stuff is true. I sit at home while my child, my only son, the only remaining male on my husband's side to carry on his last name and bloodline, is at school. I am very concerned, and his safety is my first priority, but he is only a kindergartener and the supposed threats are to our middle and high school. I will worry until he is home safe and sound and in my arms. I will worry tomorrow as I put him on the school bus yet again and hope he comes home safe to me yet again.

I have to believe that my child is being kept safe. In his school there is only one way to get and that is going through only one door at the main entrance and then being buzzed into the main office. You have to get pasted them before you can even get into the rest of the school. On the other hand there is no metal detectors to see if some adult or child for that matter is carrying something that could harm any of the children. I have to keep believing in my faith that our protectors will bring them all home safe and sound.

As much as I know my child loves going to school, most mornings that is, I am eventually going to home school both of my children. Mainly since my son has decided he wants to go into acting. That will require home schooling for the most part. There isn't a school around this area that would work with an actors schedule.

So as you go about your day please keep our area in your thoughts and prayers that nothing horrible happens. I don't care what religion you are, how you pray, I believe everyone has a right to whatever religion they believe in. Everywhere on Earth right now needs thoughts and prayers to keep people and animals safe.

Thank you for reading. I hope that you will not have to hear about any horrible news from my area. Thoughts and prayers welcome from whatever religion. Questions and comments welcome.

Thank you!
