I have no perfect answer to prevent the Newtown or Boston horrors, but I do believe each of us can do something positive for children. Every day in this wonderful land children are abused, bullied and some go to bed hungry. Each of us can do something to help these children. We can lobby the congress to create decent paying jobs by addressing our infrastructure and creating a real safety net with better policies. Also we can engage our children in serious discussions about bullying. Others can become volunteers in schools and support better education for all children. There is no one size fits all ,but every child deserves the love and attention and opportunity to succeed that was gifted to my children. We need to proudly wear on our sleeves the statement that “we are bleeding hearts for all children.”
