Self Defense

The help our children .

About the gunsmoke. Maybe if you ask the children why they want a gun, they might tell you its self defense. The drugs in the school are what you need to worry about. If parents were paying attention, asking questions, spending time with their children. It is a fact that some parents aren't home all week. They work in the city during the week, then come home for the weekend. Leaving their children to fend for themselves all week. Then, what about those who leave the drugs sitting around the house that they sell. You turn a blind eye. These are facts, ask the police department, the school district and the IU20. The blame is all yours. Take responsibility for your childrens actions and, that of our community . The police are watching some of the people Nazareth is a small community compared to the big cities. Small communities have a smaller police force. Neighborhood watch and listening to your children. Thats where it starts. Help your children be safe. Ask your schools to teach about how to watch for signs of mental illnes, suicide and other pottential problems that cause children to bring guns to school. Do it now. Tommorrow might be to late.
