toodldo_4julie: he'll be comin round the mountain when he comes...
a guy escaped from jail, came down the mountain, killed 2 of his relatives w/ a shotgun, and (i believe) has now committed suicide.

the camp counselors at the YMCA summer program (not what i work through, i'm w/ parks and rec.) where my two half sisters (ages 8 and 6) go everyday told all of the kids that a madman was on the loose so they had to lock the doors to be sure that he wouldn't be able to get inside. they were awake until about 11 (their bedtime is at 8:30) terrified that he was gonna break into my mom's house and then kill us all... and then they had nightmares. good fucking god. i mean, who in their right minds would tell a bunch of kids approx. 7 yrs old that a murderer had just escaped and was coming down the mountain and would kill them all if they didn't lock all the doors?!?


Mood: pissed at stupid people that don't know how to work w/ kids

Just remember that what adults say and children hear are very rarely the same thing.

well, then they have some kind of esp-like imagination and made up a story exactly like what was going on outside. i do get what you're saying though... because i work with kids.. all day long... and they never hear what we want them to hear.. but they do understand.
