God bless the children

It's tough to be a kid these days.

Childhood was so much easier in my day. Less TV, more time playing outside. Walking and playing with my friends, without the fear of being abducted. The world was kid-friendly then.

The bodies of three children were found this weekend. Purvis and Quadrevian were in a lagoon. Autopsy results showed they died from drowning. A little girl in Oklahoma was not as fortunate. Brutally killed by a downstairs neighbor.

Meanwhile, in the east, a little girl who is paraplegic for life forgave the man who shot her. A five-year old whose life has been altered forever. She has done something few of us adults could do.

Adults need to take her lead. Be caring and create a world where our children will be safer.
