"I say, 'Im here'" He's still pure and innocent. You can hear the fear in the mother's voice when she said "Absolutely not"

Instead of making our children more resilient to the world, let’s create a world that’s less traumatic for them. 😥

[Vamavid]

Notice, "Mom will find you."

Notice absence of "officer" in the drill.

It sucks that this can happen in America it’s terrifying even as a Canadian

[kevjob]

While I understand why the mom is doing it, it is beyond sad we need to have kids doing active shooter drills. Come on America, we can do better. Vote all GQP out.

This is insane! I can't imagine needing to have this talk with my child 😭 Be safe at school little ones 🙏 Greetings from Paramaribo

Dear God what has your country come to

Scary stuff. And totally surrealistic for someone like me who lives in Australia.

One time a drunk guy with a Glock was walking through the hall he was about 15, 16 years old. I was currently in the bathroom while he was walking into my classroom. I was walking out when I saw this guy with a hoodie pointing a gun at my classmate. But there was something odd about the gun. I noticed it was an air soft gun(without the cap)., he didn’t know I was there so Punched him at the back of the head and ran. The police arrived soon and we were safe. I will never forget that moment.

So sad you have to teach this to your kid 🥺

Welcome to America we don’t talk
About homework or how your day was, we talk about protecting 5 year olds from violence. Fools

I don't know if to laugh or to cry. And I don't even have kids. Wow. Feel for the kids who have it rough at home and then they still have to go to school and worry about getting shot.

This is really sad that kids are learning this instead of having fun

[sandraquito]

This is the normality in USA. I am so glad I live in another country!!!

[debnoel]

Move away to any other developed country...this is so sad that children have to live with this.

[peterdorscheid]

That's one of the saddest things I've ever seen...

[AF-ocko]

And every day that child is at school the parents will worry until school is out for the day…welcome to the new America.

[MissyGaileva]

I honestly can't understand what parent wouldn't trade *every gun they owned* to prevent even *one kid* from having to experience this. So f*ckin' selfish...

[jthebk]

This is child abuse. This is an adult issue that must be solved by adults, scaring your kid like this solves nothing. Banks and courts have armed guards, schools should too, kids matter more then money amd criminals

When I was his age we had to practice for atomic drills by hiding under our desks in school and knowing where the bomb shelters were. How times have changed.
