I had been cleaning my apartment all day and just happened to be walking by the television when I saw the video of the school and read the lower third on the screen to see what it was all about:
“School Shooting…Suspects Inside! Students Shot!”
How many people remember where they were when they first heard about Columbine?
That is exactly how I felt when I received the news last week that 26 children and adults had been shot and killed by a lone gunman…while doing nothing more then going to school that day.
For the holiday season…I would like to take some time and honor all of the victims of the terrible Sandy Hook massacre that occurred Friday before last.
Discussion is open to all subject matters previously discussed on this blog.
I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season no matter how you celebrate…and that the coming year holds changes in the system that provide justice for all children.
Joy and Peace to Everyone.

Latest news on the shooting at Sandy Hook:
Happy Holidays to everyone, & much thanks to Linda for running this great site,
where none of these Children will be forgotten!
I see little Shaniya Davis’ photo above, a simply beautiful little girl, whose mother traded her off for a drug debt, and adorable Kyron Hormon who still hasn’t been found, as well as little Adji Desir and so many more -
Such horrible tragedies, let’s hope that 2013 brings justice for all these little ones!
The trial of Shaniya Davis’ mother and murderer is set for February 2013 -
The mother, Antoinette Davis, faces LWOP and the murderer, Mario McNeill, faces Death:

Thanks for this update Jersey!
There are so many dead children it’s hard to follow through and keep up with all of them.
I was living in NC when that happened…I hope Mcneill gets the DP…but even if they throw him into prison with the GP…something tells me he’ll get what’s coming to him. The mother should be taken out and shot IMO.
That child was so gorgeous…absolutely exquisite…that story broke my heart.
The father was a nut job too IMO…I felt the worse for the sister who had raised Shaniya…and she watched her drive away that night…and said she did not want to let her go but could do nothing about it.
The father was a complete flake as I remember him.
Poor little Shaniya…breaks my heart in two.
Shaniya Davis’ father decided to let the mother have Shaniya back, as she was supposedly working and had straightened her life out, if I remember correctly.
What a mistake! All she wanted little Shaniya for was to get her hands on more drugs, apparently. And the mother was pregnant again when arrested!
This story was one of the most horrendous I’ve ever heard.
I agree Linda, Shaniya”s Dad came off to me like a Nut Job and a Flake. This precious beautiful Child deserved so much better! I hope they lock up the Mother and throw away the Key. The Murderer definitely deserves the Death Penalty but before someone should do the same he did to precious Shaniya! Sick Bastard thats all I can say!
Antoinette Davis should be facing the death penalty as well.
Not sure if I trust a freaking jury to convict her though.
I agree, JHJ77! She handed her beautiful little 5-year-old over, knowing exactly what was going to happen to her. As Linda said, she should be taken out and shot!!
Thank you Linda for a beautiful tribute to these little angels. My thoughts are with the families as they struggle to get through the difficult days ahead.
Thank you Linda for taking the time from I’m sure, a busy holiday schedule, to remember these little victim’s. May you and everyone else have a very Merry Xmas.
~Seasons Greetings All Ye Gentle Folk~ The soul aches and the heart breaks for the families who suffered a loss beyond comprehension. May God lift them up and apply his loving balm to their sorely afflicted hearts.

Linda, thank You for Everything You do with Your Site. It is really appreciated!
Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!
I will like most of Every One remember All the Victims of violent Crime, especially the innocent Children who’s Life was taken before they even had a Chance to grow up. It always breaks my Heart when I hear another Child being murdered. Children are our Future and are so precious. Thank You for giving Crime Victims a Voice!
My Grandson just turned 6 in September and he was tow when little Caylee was killed. It really hit home back than and now with the Newtown Massacre. I can’t even imagine what those families are going through, especially now with Christmas.
