USA (MNN) ― The deadliest school shooting in United States
history has everyone shaking their heads and asking, "Who does something
like this? Who kills innocent children at school? How can someone be
that evil?"
While those questions are common, branch operation director and mental health practitioner at Bethany Christian Services
George Tyndall says children all over the country will be affected by
this tragedy. "To see this sort of thing on the news can create fear,
'What if that happens at my school?' So then you could see responses
from kids: stomach aches, headaches, and that sort of thing--complaints
of not feeling well in an attempt to stay home, try to stay safe."
Tyndall continues, "Everyone's response is, 'How can this be? How can we
go on?' With children, in particular, reestablishing that sense of
safety is the number one piece."
Vice President for Outreach at Biblica,
Rich Blanco, says, spiritually speaking, "There are just more and more
reminders of us living in a fallen world. But I'm also reminded that as
Christ-followers, we're called to overcome evil with good."
