Desensitized

So, apparently around 7:30 this morning there was an attempted kidnapping in the school parking lot.

A woman got out of her car, was forced back in it, possibly at knife point, but we're not sure. The guy maybe drove off? And she called 911 and managed to get out?

The details are a big foggy. But our school did make the news.

There were cop cars in the parking lot all afternoon and we had to send a letter home to the kids before they left to let them know it wasn't a random kidnapping, and that they were safe. The investigation is still going on, so we don't have a lot of details. We do know that the woman was "associated with our school but not hired by the district." Student teacher? Parent volunteer?

The strangest thing? Now that I'm home, thinking about it....We all kind of just took it in stride. Ahh, yes, someone was trying to kidnap people at school. Okay. Carry on.

Just another day.

Teaching here certainly changes your perspective.
