Margaret's Message about the Virginia Tech Shootings

"Dear [recipient name was inserted here],

It was a very sad day for our society - not only for the victims and their families, but for the shooter who was a victim of bullying, neglect by family members, and society. Had the bullying been stopped in grade school and he had been treated as a useful, important member of society like others were this problem most likely would not have escalated to the point of revenge. This young man had to feel extremely dejected and alone. His pain turned to revenge. How very sad that those around him could not love him enough to help him when this began. Had he been put
in a program like Victory Ranch for Children the outcome would most likely have been a much happier one. They don't use drugs - they use love to help overcome the hurt that destroys self confidence and esteem. I would hope the media and our local, state, and federal governments officials would focus on how to aid young people in receiving help before it is too late."
