  1. Sorry about the confusion as to whether or not there were two accidents, that was my fault. I was just asking because I was told the accident happened on Garmon Rd, but it did not. So there was only one accident and one fatality. Sorry if I caused any confusion, I was a bit confused myself and that's why I asked.

     

    If there is anything the families are going to need please let us know, and I mean both families, Blake's and the other person who is okay physically. Do they need any food ie: meals prepared or anything like that?

     

    No need to apologize. It's happened to the best of us :good:

  2. Does anyone know the arrangments for Blake?

     

     

    According to his sister on FB last night:

    Our family just went to see blake, he looked very peaceful and absolutely perfect. We dont know anything about the funeral and there isnt going to be a viewing, just a memorial. Ill keep everyone updated. Thank you so much for the thoughts and prayers.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Continued prayers for Blake's family and friends.

  3. I just heard from my neighbor that the young man that passed away was his wrestling partner at HHS. However, my neighbor said that this particular accident happened on Garmon Road, so were there two separate accidents?

     

    I only got the Nixle notification for Cole Lake road. There have been times though that I didn't get a notification.

    Goodness, I hope it isn't two separate ones!!

    My daughter knew the young man involved in the one on Cole Lake. So sad.

    Prayers for his family.

  4. Quote from above article:

    From what I’ve read, many of the absurdities that are blamed on Zero Tolerance seem to come from officers who don’t understand that one has to have intent to commit a crime. It’s not a crime to negligently bring a knife to school, and trying to turn it in to school officials shows that the person didn’t have intent.

     

     

     

     

    I agree NewsJunky, Zero tolerance needs to change and that change is long over due.

     

    This is something I read earlier today and couldn't agree more:

     

    “This is about putting the decisions back in the hands of the educators,” said Sen. Emanuel Jones’ (D-Decatur) “Teachers and principles should have the flexibility to levy a punishment that appropriately fits the student. The one-size fits all approach to discipline that has pervaded our schools serves only to ensnare kids into a pipeline to prison.”

  5. My heart still breaks when I think of your situation. I do want you to look into a support group. When talking to family and friends, they want to protect you by changing the subject, or you want to protect them and avoid mentioning things you want to say. A good support group will give you the chance to say the things you can't say to your family. You can talk about things those who are close to you try to keep you from thinking about. A support group can hear your story and understand, but you don't have to soften your words to protect them. It's the freedom to say what you want to and feel the way you feel without worrying about causing someone else pain.

     

    It's the words you don't say that control everything in your life. You need to find the environment to say them.

     

    Great post PsychoMom!!

  6. Thank you Amanda, I know you would have been there if you could.I also appreciate all of the postings from your parents and Lauren. It means a lot to us. Most of all, I need to make sure ya'll understand that my mom is hurting just as much as me and needs all of the love and support that your family can offer her.

    Crystal, I'm glad reading this thread helps you, even if just a little. :wub:

    Prayers for comfort for all of you!!!!

  7. I want to personally thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers. James was a very special little boy and will be greatly missed by me and James, as well as everyone else he touched during his short time here. I am having a very hard time coming to terms with the fact that my baby is no longer here and that our house is completely empty and quiet. I don't feel like I will make it and feel that all the thoughts and prayers are not working. Please continue to keep us in your prayers, especially during the next few days which will be most difficult. We are very thankful for everyone we have in our lives that are helping us get through this.

     

    Thanks again,

    Crystal Gentry

     

    Chrystal, I too am at a loss for words. Prayers for peace and comfort are continuing for you and James.

     

     

    Mona, Eddie, Lauren & Morgan

  8. This isn't "old" news. It's relevant and it's current and more up to date info. It's also VERY relevant to this community in general! <_< Adults have EVERY right to discuss matters that could potentially effect their children.

     

     

    This is still an on going thing , old or new. I am sitting here with the news on and they just told of this and showed their pictures . It's 7:40 am , Sat. morning.

    I think it should be talked about ,because you never know who is doing this type of thing and maybe we can keep it away from our kids and family. jmo
