I was really thinking of how scared the kids are right now with the whole situation. I had heard from a couple of friends in city government in the Arlington area that there was talk of it, but nothing decided. I do have a firm grip.. just trying to do something thoughful.... Besides sending cards to kids to let them know there is support out here is not such a horrible thing is it?

I'm in Richmond. I appreciate your sentiment, but I think your suggestion is absolutely the wrong thing to do.

I had to tell my son this morning that schools were closed because of the sniper. What do I tell him tomorrow when the schools re-open?

While a card would be nice, I see it as only something else to give a kid cause to worry.

And, lets face it...would you give your kid candy mailed to them by a stranger?

Let the parents figure out Halloween. We'll do what's best for our kids.
