One Choice meets Tragedy ( Seath Tyler Jackson)

Outraged, I find myself! Ever since I heard about the brutal attack of Seath Tyler Jackson, Life just has not been the same for me. Yet I have never met him or his family this tragedy feels as though he was one of my own children.

I have really been thinking about the whole scenario, I mean these 4 kids and 2 adults(questionable adults) didn't just wake up one morning and say" Today I am going to commit Murder", So this takes me back to before this could have happened and the Question to be asked is Where were the parents, guardians of the 4 minors involved??? I mean people don't wake up from a sane world and commit murder there are signs well before things like this happen.

So, it takes me to the next  question,  Why weren't the signs seen by the people in which are responsible for these children? My opinion would be because:

  •  So many people are so concerned about making sure that the bills are paid.
  •  Putting  food is on the table
  •  Making sure that their OWN needs are being met.
 I am sure there are many more reasons, BUT the problem comes in when: We only have so many hours in a day and when we can't  fit in the time to talk to our children, Tragedies like this can happen!

I know that I spend a lot of time talking to my children very openly, to insure that I know how they are feeling and try to answer any questions they may have HONESTLY. I try to understand their opinions about life and their journey through it. To not pass things off as not important, just because it's not something I wouldn't put on my list of priorities,Well their list is supposed to be different from ours(lighter in many ways).


So I guess I will end with this, I know that meeting the bills are important and so is food on the table, But if you are not taking the time to talk to your kids, then some of you (us) will no longer be working our fingers to the bone to supply food or housing for our Families (children) we will be working to hire ATTORNEYS for defend our children from choices that could have been prevented by again I will say  taking the time to TALK to them!


To the JACKSON FAMILY
