Programs in Louisville that Support Local Children and Communities

Just today, a juvenile decided to shoot another juvenile in a school.  That is just unacceptable on so many levels.  We might think, why would you settle a squabble with a gun?  Take such extreme measures for what is being reported as a silly motive?   Time will give more answers but the answer, in my opinion, is that somewhere, somehow, this juvenile was not taught how to cope.  They weren’t shown how to deal with difficult situations in an appropriate way. Someone didn’t equip them with tools to manage their life, their struggles small or large.  This person obviously had access to a gun but, sadly, that might be said about many young people and not all young people turn to violence. Why?  Because they have people invested in their lives that make a real connection with them to show them their value, show them the value of other people and teach them how to properly walk through life to be the best person they can be.
