It's Only Wednesday!

Our three oldest children, who are still at home, attend a small charter school with very high standards. They were uniforms, and there is a strong emphasis on character development. But, what goes on in the homes from whence these children come to school?

Monday, a teen showed up at our door at 7 a.m., and asked if he could have a ride to school, claiming that his parents dropped him off at our house. When he got to school, he was arrested and charged with theft of a credit card and car theft! He had been on the run all night!

Yesterday, another teen was arrested for writing a hate note to another student! It is only Wednesday!

It scares me each day I send my children out the door to school. And not for fears of what they may do, but who they are surrounded by. And it is happening everywhere.
