Danbury launches initiatives to combat school violence

The initiatives, part of Sandy Hook Promise’s portfolio of gun violence prevention programs, are based on research showing that in 70 percent of gun violence cases at least one person was told about the act before it happened. “We are seeing more and more stories in the news about tragedies that could have been adverted,” said Nicole Hockley, who launched Sandy Hook Promise with other parents in response to the slaying of their children in the 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre. The idea is to teach students starting in sixth grade how to recognize red flags in peer behavior, such as boasting about weapon possession or posting unusual images of violence online.

I'm the Mother of a Murdered Child. No One Else Has to Be.

As a Newtown mom, I remember the resolve President Obama showed me when we met for the first time in December 2012. The honor of meeting a sitting president is numbed when the reason is that your six-year-old child is dead, gunned down in his first-grade classroom. Yet even through my grief, I sensed that Obama was reacting first as a parent faced...
