Great stories. Keep in touch with her.

Thank you for saying this. My husband brutally abused our oldest son, and was physically violent with all the people in the family. Then he tried to complain about parental alienation...I always encouraged the kids to stay in contact with him. They are in their late 20s now and want nothing to do with him, and I finally realized I should stop encouraging the relationship. He and his new wife use contact to further verbally abuse them. Parent Alienation is Bullshit. Kids are smart and they know who is treating them right and who is abusing them.

Same here I was trained in NIMS, many years ago. I have a support emergency role, not first responder or EMS. Also just from what was learned at Columbine, the lesson was go in as quick as possible. That was drilled in.

Looks like they pulled one guy down and were trying to protect one of their own. They were certainly outnumbered and in protective defense mode.

I was 10 years old reading in the daily newspaper about the horrors of the viet nam war....These 10 year olds were getting slaughtered. You can print the real life horror.
