Two days ago one of Nathanael's classmates (was in his photography class) was shot dead.

Is this insane?

He got into a fight with a boy from Avondale over girls (the official story).

He was from Galbraith Pointe. Notorious gang place. It would have been better had they never built Galbraith Pointe. It's one reason F-town has gone south.

Not long after, I saw a news story about Lakota schools. Lakota is the place where everyone who's anyone is moving to get their kids to school there. It is burgeoning so quickly they had to divide the high school into two and construct a new building for half the kids. I always thought it was a mess, though. Honestly, despite the reputation. I worked there for about 3 weeks once years ago and Steve worked there for 2 years.
Anyway on the bus the other day two boys assaulted and actually raped another. I don't know how. But now how on a school bus can things get so out of control?!

I want to get the frack out of Finneytown but I sure don't want to live in the Lakota school district.
Imagine putting your kid on a bus and he is raped. Unreal.
Imagine your football/basketball star kid, 16 years old, getting shot. Unreal.

I want to leave.

Help us out of here!

We're gearing up. Have to get Steve out of inertia enough to fix the house up to sell. Most of the work is done but the backporch and some walls need work.

HELP. PLEASE. I don't even want my kids outside anymore.
