"A 13-year-old boy died early this morning when a joy ride with a
14-year-old boy led to a high-speed police chase and fatal crash."

My daughter went to school with the 13 year old and the 14 year old. My son
skated with the 13 year old. My daughter IS 13 years old.

You always think 'not my kids, not my town'. This was our kids. My town.
I don't know what to make of it.

Hug your kids tonight, please.

Yeah.. I know. I use to think that too. Not here. Not in my town. Not
on this block. Not in my house. It's nice living like that.

My condolences. Be open & available, check with them to see if they want
to talk. If not, kids are pretty resilient. In time, they'll cope.
