I am not going to lie, this video sent chills down my spine and the thought of my son waking up to go to school tomorrow, frightens me.

The video starts out all smiles and happiness with kids showing off their different school supplies to start off the new year. One girl even showed off her binders.

But then, it quickly changes tone and you hear gun shots in the background with kids talking about their school supplies and various ways to protect themself in the case of a school shooting.

The video gets darker as it goes on with one kid saying “These new socks? They can be a real lifesaver” as she uses them as a tourniquet for a classmate that has been shot.

But then it ends with the most heartbreaking and upsetting scene. Where a girl is hiding in the bathroom, texting her mom to say “I love you mom” as you hear the door open and footsteps walk in before it fades to black with a message.

This video is disturbing but is a reminder of the terrible school shootings that happen far too often. I say far too often because once should have been enough for major changes to be made.

The message of the video is at the end when it says:

“It’s back to school time and you know what that means. School shootings are preventable when you know the signs.”

It may be an upsetting reminder and message but in the end, it’s one worth remembering and one to keep in mind.

Again, please know this is a disturbing video but you can watch it below if you want to.

Now go hug and kiss your babies right now.
