Little 8 year old girl was allowed to walk home from school for the first day and right outside the school she was lured by a young woman. They took her to a park or something and the boyfriend of the woman raped the little girl in the back seat of the car and then they put a trash bag over her head and beat her to death with a hammer.
I know I can't shelter my kids from everything and I don't try to, but dropping them off and picking them up from school is one thing I want to be in control of.
I understand your feelings.
But, what I was saying is, I didn't think the safety of your daughter was the sole reason you were homeschooling.
Am I right?
Is there more to this story?
It was a big part of it, but that paired with her coming home everyday miserable was the other part. Kindergarten is supposed to be fun and it ended up stressing both of us the fuck out.
I'm not a home school freak, never even considered it with the other two. But now in my old age I think differently and don't want to be stressed out for one second, life's too short. We'll try it again for 2nd grade when she's a bit more mature.
