All over the world, many were shocked and saddened by the senseless death of the victims in Virginia Tech.

I can barely imagine how the reactions of the family and friends of the victims were. I cannot erase from my mind the feeling of fear every time I think of all those students who thought that they were just going to go to class that fateful day and go on their lives as usual.

As a parent, I am Running Scared as I add another "what if" in my brain...

There is nothing about Virginia Tech that makes it a magnet for violent rampages. But before we can keep stop these mass shootings, we have to keep kids safe at home. What I'm getting at is that people who commit acts of violence -- school rampages, rape, child sexual assault and abuse -- have more than likely been a victim themselves. I recommend the book "Violence" by James Gilligan for the best explanation of "why it happens" that I've ever read.
