Do you have children near or at the ages of the victims in Newtown? How many and what are their ages?

Have they heard the news? If so, how did they hear it?

If you decided to tell them yourself or if you've decided to shield them from the news, what has been your thought process?

What questions did they ask and how did you answer?

What has your child's school done in response, if anything? (i.e. shared resources, increased security, talked to students, etc.)

May we publish your insights and attribute them to you using your full name and city? (Your comments may be edited for length or clarity.) *
