Tonight on the local news there was coverage of a story in the Birmingham area about a loaded gun found in a locker at a local school. There is speculation that the boy that owned the gun was targeting a specific student because of bullying. The press interviewed several parents about the situation and one response really struck me....
"I have told my kids you really shouldn't bully another because you never know what will set a child off"
Is it just me or is that a bit off the mark. What about telling your kids not to bully because it is wrong and hurtful and that we should treat others with respect and compassion?!
