Even in our "safe" homes we can't fully protect our kids. My son is starting school this september and I'm way excited but very scared at the same time. I know he's going to love it there and do great but I have always had the thought what if someone takes him *from a school trip if he gets lost,or from the play ground etc...* Or if some teacher is some sick fuck and takes his innocence away *better way of putting it*. It's scary being a parent....

It's the what if's that will kill you.. Those don't go away.. I'm sure your son will have a great time at school, just try not to cry too hard when he goes off and kind of forgets about you in the excitement. That just totally broke me down.
And I want to clarify something for everyone else. I didn't post this as some anti-war sentiment.. I think my opinions on this have been pretty clear. This war is not the only reason children in the world suffer and die... TENS OF THOUSANDS of children die DAILY, due to starvation, lack of water, disease, oppressive governments, poverty, a million different reasons. My heart aches for them, no matter WHAT the reason. I am greatful I am in a position that I CAN protect my children to a certain extent, and my heart goes out to those mothers who are not in a position to do the same.
