We have let you down Bailey. You too Preston. I'm so sorry. I feel sick seeing this. I have a 12 year old son who keep his phone in his pocket against school rules because he is afraid that someone will shoot up his school and his phone will be his only life line. I let him do it because I am afraid too. Why can't we do better? Good grief.
