What went wrong?<\/p>\n<p>By all accounts, Sandy Hook Elementary School had appropriate safety measures in place. Doors were locked when class started. There was a system to check visitors before they were allowed in the building. Teachers were well trained and knew what to do in this type of emergency. There had been lockdown drills and safe places were established for children and teachers to go. Everything was done right.<\/p>\n<p>There was nothing the school could have done differently to prevent this horrendous incident. No one could have predicted that a person with mental health issues, armed with an assault rifle and two other semi-automatic weapons, would shoot out the glass and force his way into the school. This is neither the type of school nor a community where a security guard is needed at the entrance. The safety measures were appropriate. The staff implemented them, went into lockdown mode, and protected their children the best they could \u2014 sometimes acting as human shields.<\/p>\n<p>There are three things that we must ask ourselves as a nation after this tragedy:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Are schools developing and updating safety plans on a regular basis with the involvement of parents, teachers, and the community?<\/li>\n<li>Are we providing sufficient mental health services in our schools and communities \u2014 and had the shooter received such services, is it possible that this would have been avoided?<\/li>\n<li>Is it necessary to allow semi-automatic weapons in the hands of civilians?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Safety in schools<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A good school safety plan is a detailed blueprint of procedures designed to keep children safe during normal school operations and in an emergency.<\/p>\n<p>It should include such things as: the chain of command; where school safety agents normally stand; visitor-screening procedures; how to report an intruder; how to cover lunchrooms if staff are absent; and provisions for security before school, while classes are in session, and during after-school community programs.<\/p>\n<p>Even the best safety plans are worthwhile only if a school community is familiar with their provisions. Staff and students should know clearly what to do in everyday situations \u2014 and during a crisis.<\/p>\n<p>Every school should prepare a safety plan, review it annually, and update it as the school\u2019s needs change. It should distribute a school safety handbook to all staff and parents annually. A strong board of education policy and adequate funding to support a school safety committee are necessary.<\/p>\n<p>The very lives of our children are at stake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mental health services<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What causes me the most concern is the emerging information about the shooter as a troubled individual. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ctpost.com\/local\/article\/Mental-illness-and-mass-murder-4122543.php\">A full picture is not yet available<\/a>, but reports suggest he <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2012\/12\/16\/violence-aspergers-syndrome-adam-lanza--newtown-shooting_n_2312545.html\">had Asperger\u2019s syndrome<\/a>, had a history of difficulty getting along with classmates, was home schooled, and eventually dropped out of school. His mother reportedly was not pleased with the way his high school dealt with his disability, and this seems to be why she withdrew and homeschooled him. Often, children with Asperger\u2019s syndrome are misunderstood, shunned, or bullied because of their different way of interpreting social interactions. If they are not taught how to improve their social interactive skills, and if other kids misunderstand and ostracize them, it can lead to frustration and anger.<\/p>\n<p>Schools generally provide some level of services for students who experience mental health or other issues that generate from a disability. But through the consulting work I do with schools and my expert witness services with attorneys, I have found that it\u2019s never enough \u2014 no matter whether the school is in an affluent community like Newtown or the inner city. The level of services depends on the school budget, which often depends on a community\u2019s ability to support the budget. Poorer communities don\u2019t provide much service.<\/p>\n<p>Students who don\u2019t get along with peers usually get branded <em>troublemakers<\/em>. Standard discipline \u2014 detention and suspension \u2014 without attempting to deal with the root issues leads only to despair for the student and continued problems in school. When troubled behavior repeats itself, there\u2019s a need to find out what is causing this student to act out, help this student understand what drives his behavior, and take steps to change it. This isn\u2019t always easy to do. When schools don\u2019t have the baseline resources to even consider this kind of intervention, we are on the path to losing our kids and laying our children open to being hurt.<\/p>\n<p>Parents don\u2019t usually tell others about the trouble their child brings into the family. Families keep these secrets, and sometimes, frustration builds either to the Hook of giving up or dealing with the child in counterproductive ways. These parents need help. They need to understand why a child behaves in a way that causes others to be fearful of her. They need tools that will help them at least try to work effectively with a child so that their actions do not exasperate the problem behavior.<\/p>\n<p>Parents also need to know that they can\u2019t always do it alone, and that it\u2019s okay to ask for help. They need to feel comfortable about seeking help, and they may need help paying for these services. We need to remove treatment barriers imposed by one\u2019s type of insurance and by insurers\u2019 level of payment to mental health professionals.<\/p>\n<p>The very lives of our children are at stake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gun control<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not going to wade into the gun-control debate, other than to say that the Second Amendment was written at a time when the militia used muskets that took several minutes to reload \u2014 not semi-automatic rifles that spew dozens of bullets in a few seconds.<\/p>\n<p>In this situation, a young man with a history of social-interactive problems and little, if any, mental health support, had access to his mother\u2019s legally registered weapons \u2014 and acted on whatever compulsion or illness drove him. If the shooter, disturbed as he may have been, had not had access to that weapon, parents today would be thinking more about their child\u2019s upcoming winter break than whether they are doing the right thing by even sending their child to school.<\/p>\n<p>Is it necessary to allow semi-automatic weapons in the hands of our civilians?<\/p>\n<p>The very lives of our children are at stake.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Healing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Newtown, Connecticut, will heal, but this horrible tragedy is a reminder that we have work to do. I would like our nation to remember that while schools are, by and large, safe places, it takes the involvement of all of us to make them so. I would like our nation to focus renewed energy on the provision of, and equitable funding for, mental health services to kids and parents. I would like our nation to have the courage to take real steps toward effective gun control.<\/p>\n<p>Schools are safe places for our kids. Let\u2019s make them even safer by focusing on what we can learn from this sadness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Children and parents should never have to experience the pain and suffering that was brought down on them in Newtown, Connecticut.
