..alright people, suit your damn self. Call all the care teams and psychologist and Sigmund Freuds to the school and have a sit down...death is a natural event. Yes the child died an unatural death but it died nevertheless (which is very sad as I had class mates die as well). Children have their own way of dealing with things and we as adults should only support them. However, bringing in so much attention underlines the issue and makes this whole event more tragic for a 6 year old child. Me not having children doesn't have anything to do with my ability to comment on this topic, as I've worked closely with children before. Don't label this comment as "oh, it's lost_inbroad's brain fart"..but I rather urge you to look at the tragedy from the eye of a 6 year old. They don't understand big issues as yet...and their sadness is solely because their buddy from school is not coming anymore; whereas, we as adults rather emphasize the tragedy of the event. If I had a child, I would answer his/her question in a simple manner and explain to them that death isa natural process and that people do very bad things sometimes.
