    I'm sorry to hear of this tragedy. There is no pain greater than that of losing a child.

    I am so sorry to hear of this tragedy! I hope they can get the boy some therapy. To live with that guilt for his whole life will be devastating to his future. No doubt the parents feel overwhelming guilt as well. I trust they will find some healing and peace.

    Best wishes,
    Sherry

    Horrible - But how was this 8 year old able to take a rifle in the first place ?

    Here, in the Netherlands, nobody is permitted to keep fire weapons at home (or any other weapons - not even pepper spray), unless you are a regular member of a fire weapon club AND you have a solid safe - closed with a key - were you kept your weapons and ammunition.

    Possessing weapons is forbidding out here (even a policeman is'nt allowed to take his guns at home)

    never the less for the family members this is a very tragic occasion that never should have happened.

    My sympathy.

    Sorry. Thait is about as big a tragedy as a family can go through.

    (I wish some could save the political, anti-gun comments for another thread)

    So sorry to hear about what happen to your friend. Hope you will be able to support her during this time. Kindness and compassion from others is what keeps one able to hang in there till the pain eases .
