This is appalling! And it breaks my heart so much to read about this news. These kids are so young—as young as my son and—I'm at a loss for words. I'm praying for the victims. This is totally unacceptable!

What a heartbreaking story. I have a friend in Belgium and she has a 5 year old who goes to school already so my heart skipped a beat when I read the title of your post. I can only imagine how the parents of those affected felt….

Thanks for the visit Ana….

Hi Juliet,
I know that I also live in MM for almost 16 years and I know how terrifying it was at that time.You need to have a yaya, a driver and the rich deliver their kids via helicopter wow.
My boss who is a half Chinese told me one time That he’d rather migrate somewhere where he can take his kids in the park without worrying that somebody will kidnap his children but he can’t since he already has many employees and a bit complicated. He advised me to follow my parents but I’m proud. I love the my country I still can live a decent life but here I am living abroad..
I’m happy that I can take my son anywhere without worrying but wherever we are we have to keep guard and I can say that even if we provide our children with cellphones, computers, xboxes, SP2/3 etc. it still our responsibility as parents to invest time to spent with them as we can guide and prepare them to navigate the difficult world outside the safety of our homes.

Thank you for your visit.

This is indeed a horrible incident. This must teach us how to be on guard at all times. Schools must be very particular with security measures and must employ security guards who will enforce search measures before allowing any person to enter school premises.

Here in our place, because kidnapping is also rampant nowadays, private schools are issuing ID both for the child and the parents. Guardians are also registered upon enrollment. Guards wont allow the child to go out of the school premises without the official guardians or parents and they wont allow anybody to enter school premises without identification card. They also have metal detectors which they use for body search.

These measures are often tackled during PTA meeting and parents are sharing ideas on how to protect their kids. The last time hub attended a meeting, he even suggested a security cameras that is directly monitored by security guard from time to time.

Gadgets like this is affordable nowadays and can be bought online especially in Chinese and Korean websites.

Let’s pray for these innocent lives who never had the chance to grow…

btw, I am passing you a Butterfly award. It;s in the last part of my recent post, just scroll below to see it

Regards,

This is really terrible and you know that he confessed that he did it and perhaps he planned it all along because he came with 2 knives and an ax. What is worse he’s only 20 years old. It’s everywhere remember what happened in Finland last year. It just those were only babies and only 1 is out of danger still the 12 injured are still fighting to survive I hope that they will survive.

We can really know whatever we do to protect our children in the safety of our own home there’s so many factors outside that molds them into what they becomes in the future. All I know is that base on my parents teachings and in the school and the church that there are only 2 things we have to remember Love of God and love of neighbor. But you’re right that in this time we can only hope and pray.

Thanks for the visit.
