But that tradition died when 6-year-old Jesse was shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. This Father’s Day, Heslin, who has been active with other Sandy Hook parents in pushing for gun control legislation, is giving his support to the No Father’s Day campaign. Speaking at a media teleconference to launch the campaign, Heslin said, “Jesse was my only child, my only immediate family. I don’t have a father to share Father’s Day with.” Initiated by PICO National Network’s Lifelines to Healing Campaign, the campaign asks participants to send e-cards to Congress, urging passage of legislation to create universal background checks and end gun trafficking.

From linked article_______ "The victims “have a financial uncertainty, they need the…Read More money,” Feinberg said. “You have to say, ‘Here’s the money, here’s what we’re doing with it.’” Some Newtown families say that didn't happen in their town. Lafferty-Hassinger posted to Facebook her frustration about the United Way requiring "proof of hardship" to determine how to distribute funds: "We shouldn't have to fight for what is rightfully ours, but we won't be taken advantage of in our darkest hour," she wrote. "We've all been walking a fine line between not wanting to profit from the death of our loved ones and not wanting someone else to profit from our source of grief. We went down when we were kicked, but we are Sandy Hook. It's time to stand back up."___________ I reckon my questions are thusly: What financial uncertainty is there in the death of a child, AND since when did money that is donated privately become something that is 'rightfully' belonging to someone else due to a tragedy that is not a natural event like a tornado or hurricane?

Where is the concern for the character development of our kids? Where is the concern for the…Read More physical health of our kids? What long term health effects will these 'pills' have on the young - still forming bodies? Will taking these drugs have any long term side effects that can make life miser able in the future? If a 16 year old girl is being bullied into sex, is that an excuse for providing this contraceptive? Can she get on the pill ...the one that is taken profilactically - without an Rx? I think not...why the difference? Having condoms in a bowl like candy in the high school nurses office is a major contradiction to the teachings in many a home...and now this...how sad. Childhood gets shorter and shorter....

Reality is minors have sex. As for character development, I would rather my 16 year old daughter…Read More continue her development without an unintended pregnancy. If your child child is being bullied into sex, having sex regularly and not talking to their parents, or having to get condoms from the school nurses office as if they were like candy....you as parents have missed the boat and the the ship of parental guidance has set sail long ago.
