It sickens me that people have lost sight of what is at the heart of this case: potential domestic violence — a dangerous issue that should not be made light of under any circumstances.Violence, of course, is evil in any form, and when the horrific news of the massacre in a Texas elementary school erupted this week, I felt compelled to devote this space to the memory of the 19 children and two teachers who were gunned down in their classroom in Uvalde, Texas, by an 18-year-old with an assault rifle.
It marks the deadliest — and the 27th — school shooting in the U.S. this year.I have vivid memories from a decade ago of how wrecked I was as a parent of then 12- and 16-year-old daughters when 20 first-graders, ages 6 and 7, along with six adults were shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, Conn., on Dec.
