Last week one of our boss's lost his son of 17 years in a terrible ATV accident.. killed on the spot. The boss and his wife both work at the place, so it was a double tragedy for us and a total tragedy and shock for the family. A few years ago another couple that work with me also lost their son of 21 in a car accident.
Last night I learned that over the weekend, another co-worker lost his wife from the hands of her 14 year old son. She also had a sister that works with us. She had called 911 and they heard the "beating" taking place on the phone, but by the time the police got there, the 14 year old answered the door and showed them where his mother lie dead, beaten and then shot in the head.
This boy is 14 years old and will be tried as an adult. It was on my local news this morning. The boy shows no remorse, and is like in a trance of some sort.
What would make a kid of 14 do such a terrible thing? I just don't understand things in this world lately. Have we all gone mad??? Is this becoming the "norm"?? It is a scary thought.
So, once again, we sign yet another sympathy card at work.. it just doesn't seem like enough sometimes.
