this has been a tough week...
what happened in london yesterday is disturbing and troubling and not really at all surprising to me..not that i expected it to happen in london, but i just expected it to happen somewhere...
i have been reading a lot about the situation in idaho with the young girl who was literally rescued from her abductor and wondering what has happened to her brother...the alleged killer of family members and friend has a blog on blogspot.com...i inadvertently went to it from a link on an msnbc.com story and i have gone back and read from different parts of it several times...i don't know what to think...i don't know how blog entries are monitored, obviously they are in some way...it feels so strange, that i wish i could go back in time and reach out to this person who possibly did such heinous crimes...at any time of day there are people contemplating horrendous crimes against people and maybe even using their blog to vent and rage...if only they could just stop there and not have to go any further with their violent fury...something needs to happen so that people can be safe to walk the streets or even just live in their homes!...things are much better, i'm sure...because of things like amber alert and the center for missing and exploited children, but it still happens...children are so vulnerable...i say this as a mom and a school teacher and a child care provider and mainly just as a fellow human being who just wishes that people could be safe...i need to stop because i don't seem to be expressing my opinion in a way that could actually do any good...so i'll stop...
later...
