She said her family is a single-income household with three kids. Her husband hasn’t gone back to work since the tragedy.Their son was shot in the leg and must go to physical therapy and counseling for the mental trauma. Meanwhile, bills are piling up.
The parents of the Robb Elementary School student said the only financial assistance they’ve received is $1,400 for lost wages. They said the money helped a little, but it’s not nearly enough to live on for the time being.“The VOCA statute allows a claimant as much as $50,000.

Police officer missed chance to shoot Uvalde gunman by seeking permission, new assessment showsThere were several missed opportunities to stop the massacre at Robb Elementary School before it started, according to a new assessment of the law enforcement response. After we had Columbine as a training video for school protections, we get Uvalde. Turns out when you sell guns to anyone one over 18 shot goes down. Remind me again why you can’t drink until 21? Hmm I wonder what’s happened recently that has cops so gun shy and terrified of doing their jobs?

New report details missed chances to stop Uvalde school shooting that killed 21A police officer armed with a rifle watched the gunman in the Uvalde elementary school massacre walk toward the campus but did not fire while waiting for permission from a supervisor to shoot, according to a sweeping critique released Wednesday. What? It’s great to know that you can walk around a school armed with an AR-15 and not get shot by the cops, but if you’re an unarmed black person, the cops won’t hesitate. Unbelievable. Total incompetence that no one came to the aid of those children as they bled to death in that classroom. I'd sue the pants off the whole damn town if I was a parent of one of those children who waited and waited for help, and none came. 😠😰🙏
