'This child was excited to go to middle school because: It has metal detectors! In his beautiful mind, metal detectors = a promise that he won't die if another child wants to pull out a semiautomatic weapon that his dad allegedly bought at a store nearby'
OXFORD, MICHIGAN - DECEMBER 02: Pictures in the window of a downtown business honor students killed in the November 30 shooting at Oxford High School on December 2, 2021 in Oxford, Michigan. Four students were killed and seven others injured when student Ethan Crumbley allegedly opened fire with a pistol in the school. The first thing I thought about when I saw the news of the latest school shooting, which left four teenagers dead in Michigan, was my younger kid.
How would I explain away this one, like I had tried before? How could I help him feel like his mother was doing her job - protecting him - when I knew I couldn't, really? When my child looks at me and says he wants to go to a school with a metal detector, he is saying what I already know: It could happen here.
Drills vary from school to school, but some include actors who are masked gunmen. At Lake Brantley High School in Altamonte Springs, Fla., students were not told that a "code red" drill was a drill. According to the paper, one student said, "No one really talked about the emotional impact, which I feel like is more longer lasting. I feel like [administrators] never really recognized that people had panic attacks.
Drills or not, our kids take notice, maybe before we ever want them to. When the Sandy Hook babies were murdered, my older child, the same age as the 6- and 7-year-olds killed, noticed his school's flag "wasn't all the way to the top," and he asked me why, every day. How, I wondered, how did he notice this? How will I ever explain?
"It's important to recognize that there are many other students who aren't directly hurt, but they nevertheless experience these large costs that follow them in to adulthood," said Maya Rosin-Slater, lead author of the antidepressant study and associate professor at Stanford. "These events not only shake up communities and generate deaths and injuries and all the tragedy that comes with that, but they also have these long-term consequences.
