A short transcript excerpt from Dr. Don Wood’s You Must Be Out Of Your Mind podcast (Ep5 clip1) in which he addresses the psychological impact of school shootings on children.

Seeing their parents when they got reunited, because they were looking for that. I'm going to be okay. Everything is safe. I've got you. And the parents are hysterical and losing control. That put more fear in them, right, because they didn't feel safe.
