Mother Of Slain Parkland Student: We Are Fighting To Make Our Schools Safe Again | Megyn Kelly TODAY
You have my deepest sympathy. No mother should have to lose her child.
Really? No child should ever die? Do you want you rights and freedoms to be taken away?
Apple Tree what do you even mean?
I wholeheartedly concur with you, for I would never dream of sending my precious four children - my 3-year-old son, Tyler, my 5-year-old daughter, Reilly, my 7-year-old son, Keith, and my 9-year-old daughter, Haileigh - to school without assurance from the school board. The safety and well-being of our children are paramount; my husband Adam and I are adamant that we would rather have our children return home from school thriving and full of life than risk the heart-wrenching devastation of identifying their lifeless bodies in a cold mortuary or witnessing them laying motionless in a coffin. In such a situation, Adam and I would choose to keep our four precious Children out of conventional education, rallying other parents to follow suit. Given the circumstances, I'd prefer to become certified in homeschooling our children, rather than send them off to school.
NO parent should EVER have to bury their child. While I stand STRONG on the 2nd Amendment RIGHTS of the Right to bear arms, I also do NOT believe a child should have access to a fire arm of ANY TYPE.
To the parents of the Parkland High School, you have my Deepest Condolences AND my now limited powers to STOP SCHOOL VIOLENCE. Captain M Josephine Fonzo, USAF ret.
GOD BLESS Y'ALL.
In basically 99% of countries on Earth, the right to bear arms belongs only to Law Enforcers/Police Officers. In London, the London Underground Police Officers are only armed with a baton. So why should civilians of USA should have the right to bear arms?
@@BenjaminLee2009 To protect ourselves against the government and protect our property. Majority of gun owners are safe and responsible. There are cases where citizens who conceal carry save people one I think was a church in Texas and another more recent one was at a mall, two I could think of.
@@maddiebear7166 let the police officers/law enforcers protetec lives and property.
Have you seen the news lately? The number of lives saved by a "good guy with a gun" is LESSER than children killed in school shootings.
You just gotta weigh the pros and cons of giving the right to bear arm to civillans me thinks.
When a teenager can buy a gun but not a beer, we know we are in trouble
Stop bashing this strong women. She went through a traumatic experience no parent in the world should ever go through! She lost her 14 year old daughter for gods sake!! Stop saying it’s “scripted” and “fake”. She’s grieving. Poor women, death of a loved one is horrible especially when it is unexpected. I can’t imagine what she’s going through. Don’t make her life more difficult by bashing. Put yourself in her shoes it’s not easy. I pray god gives her and all the people affected by this tragedy strength and peace. God bless your soul.
We don't bash her.We just have doubts about her movement.What? Well,it could be the fact that she doesn't know anything about guns,statistics,and she and many more of these activists have this stupid,simple mindset that if we ban guns all problems will disappear.I'm sorry if I sound rude but this is just something called free speech.However,I do agree with you that conspiracy theorists are full of bs and need to shut up.
@@highkitban guns
My heart aches for this woman and I think what happened at that school is unacceptable...
Tears ran down my eyes at the sound of her voice, I can just hear the hurt and pain in her voice.
No parent should ever have to bury their child😥... rip sweet Alyssa you may be gone but you will never be forgotten❤️❤️❤️ may you soar with the angels🦄💐💕💕
Over hundreds of years,after humanity will didappear she and along with all of this planet will be forgotten.
They said " you need these guns for protection " but now we need laws to protect us against these guns.
Cindy Weir so you want to be killed by an illegal gun instead of a legal one, copy soldier.
@@LetThereBeLightxx Why does it matter if it's legal or illegal? you're still dead
We dont need gun i either be killed by a knife not a gun only police oficers shall have a gun
I understand that we have a right to bare arms, but there should be much stricter gun laws. Those who are mentally unstable shouldn't have the ability to purchase and own any sort of weapon. There needs to be change. No student should be terrified to go to school. No student should have to worry about losing their lives when they do go to school. And no parent should have to worry about sending their children to school or fearing if they will lose their child. No parent should have to bury their child. There needs to be change.
COME AND TAKE IT IT WILL BE 1775 ALL OVER AGAIN WE WILL RISE UP BY THE MILLIONS TO DEFEND OUR FREEDOM AND OUR CONSTITUTION AND OUR BILL OF RIGHTS.😡
This is why I’m homeschooled
Start by getting your school resource officer to engage the shooter. That might help.
Google Name lol they had one and he didn’t want to go inside the building when the shooting was happing
BY LAW, police officers/ security guards aren't required to protect you or anyone. That's right, any police officer can just turn a blind eye to any school shooter walking in.
The student had an assault rifle. You wouldn't go in. I'm sure of it.
Aw poor mommy ): the way she yelled that first text message saying “ SHOTS FIRED!” as she calmly gathers herself to finish telling exactly how she truly felt . In her words you can hear exactly how she felt .
her voice is so powerful and clear the way she speaks i felt every word in my heart
#MakeSchoolSafeAgain
?
i caint watch any of this without crying
Anna Namyotova why? She is FAKE a FRAUD. Don't be simpleton sheeptard
yea.. ur not funny.. shame on u ...
Anna Namyotova not being funny. She did not lose a daughter. She paid tool from ultra left. You Would see that from 3 interviews she is reading from a scripted AGENDA. CRITICAL thinking you should do.
Parents don't do interviews 24 hours after. Parents show emotion and tears, that is reality. Parents don't go on gun control tour before their daughter-son bodies are still warm. Common sense.
Plus do some research the funeral they had was only memorial with no body or casket. There is no death certificate or obituary. Think first before emotion. Body language is everything.....
Anna Namyotova ...what about the 24,000 who died of malnutrition yesterday?
jason walters Totally agree
I feel bad for all the family’s for all the 17 people who lost a family member
"I have to get to Alyssa... she's hurt" The pain in her voice, her motherly instinct something's happened. I'm so sorry. :( This make me think of my own mother and what she would do in that moment, god, no mother should hurt like this.
I'm not a parent, I'm not even married. Because of the state, we're in now and that the administration doesn't want to take matters into their own hands, I want to homeschool my future children. I want to move to Canada because I'm scared of my safety here in the states
If youre that dumb you will fit right in in Canada how soon will you be leaving?
That would be a wise idea. I see no end to America's gun mania. I personally would never want to live in a country that values a weapon of mass destruction over the lives of others.
Here we'll actually care about you and give you and your childrens the free health care every human being deserves.
@Michael Afonso My vocabulary is fine thank you very much.
I can not even imagine the pain the victims family and friends had to go through. I can not believe it has been 7 months, and I can not believe that kids like me, have to think about something like this happening to our school.
I remember this day on the February 14 I was sick and I remember I was watching it live it reminded me of the columbine high school 😢
No parents should ever plan their 14 year old child funeral.. They need to do something for this situation, America's lost so many children for human egoism of wanting guns at all costs, even if these costs are human lives.
May she rest in peace. My heart goes out to all you children and parents. Fight for a weapon ban. Kids should walk the streets and go to school without fear of getting shot.
This is so emotional I’m crying so much 😭😢🤧✨
"How do we keep our children safe at school", how is that even a question? 'Cause it's certainly not a question everywhere else in the world
There was another school shooting in MI where 4 people were killed
I love you Lyss lyss ❤️
Mariana Sippl don't worry, she's not dead.
2:30am?? So... they didn't immediately send in EMT's and perform CPR on every body they found?? That's what they are supposed to do... Also, where was Alyssa when she was shot?
@@ziggybowie8108 Absolutely not

SO SAD ,THE GOVERNMENT WONT DO NOTHING UNTIL IT HAPPENS TO THEIR KID
We love you Alyssa 💕
This, this made me sob... hearing that mother's please, my god. I couldn't, I'm so so incredibly sorry for your profound loss. She was beautiful, she will be missed. R.I.P. beautiful, you're safe now.
Why did it take tem until 2:30 to tell the parents what had Happened why couldnt they let the parents go to the hospital with their kids why hadnt the paramedics taken her to a Hospital?
I think they have to investigate:(
My deepest condolences to you!!! I am so sorry for your loss!!!!
That pig pushed her back when she's trying to get to her daughter, 🐷
My heart goes out to everyone affected by this horrible tragedy. It should never have happened and I'm all for very restrictive gun laws in the USA. HOWEVER, as soon as she started talking I thought maybe she's trying to remember what happened and is still in shock, or maybe she wrote down what she wanted to say and is trying to remember that.. but I can't help but feel that the way she pauses, darts her eyes around and her monotone delivery does suggest she has an earpiece in.
Hannah Haul Good Lord. Leave this woman alone. You people are heartless. May you never experience this horrific loss...followed immediately by this immense harassment.
Rae8Anne ..Did I not say that my heart goes out to her? I also said that it's a horrible thing to happen. I'm just pointing out that her speech doesn't sound right. Normally I'd be the LAST person to accuse this but you can't deny what you hear.
Hannah Haul Yah, all I hear is..."My heart goes out to you, lady, but you sound like you're faking your grief. You didn't really lose a daughter, did you?"
Look around you. You're surrounded by cold-hearted conspiracy theorists who say none of this really happened. You sound no better than them. Masking your accusations with that fake "my heart" mumbo jumbo doesnt make it okay to attack a woman who just lost her child in a horrific, senseless matter. You think you know how you'd react and would behave in the aftermath, but you don't. Leave her alone.
Rae8Anne Then you need to re read what I said.. when did I say I didn't think she actually lost a daughter? In no way was I 'attacking her' or is my empathy for her loss 'fake'. Your anger is clearly misplaced, jumping to conclusions because I've expressed my opinion on an earpiece I think she might be wearing in a public interview. I am not at fault nor have I done anything wrong, we are on the same side.
Hannah Haul Sorry but all I know is that every person/conspiracy theorist who suggests ear pieces with these family members and kids is really accusing these victims of being "fed" lines to create a false narrarive.
That's what I got out of your initial post, and it really upset me. If that wasn't your intention, I'm sorry. But maybe you shouldn't repeat it if you don't want to be aligned with the malicious "truthers" of our sick society.
THIS WAS A MOMENT WHERE AL'S, HAPPY, GRINNING, COMMERCIAL FACE SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SHOWN!
Do not bully others
Not Only that. Say something when you see someone who is a problem
Do not murder others
God bless you Lori.
I have no words...4 years later, I still can't imagine the pain you have with every breath.,I remember seeing you on the news...now school board..
Hugs from Weston
She doesn't deserve her daughter gone, it's not fair to send your child to school and not have them returned .
If Trump's saw this, I'm sure he'd say some type of ignorant comment, like?.........."Geez, ya don't have to yell. "
That is a strong mother
The comments down here are making me so sick. This is a real mother who lost a child. She lost one of the people who she sees everyday in her life. This mom is not making facial expressions to remember a script! She is just trying to remember what happened. I will continue supporting these parents and students. However it's been about 2 MONTHS since this horrible tragedy... And what has been done... NOTHING... NOTHING at all! America, shut up about money, and funds and remeber that these children will be the future, but they are dying
Why did 17 people have to die? What kind of world does this?
NOBODY DIED, GET IT?
Faith Stewart Yes they did die.
Here are the real questions Meghan:
How do we make the sheriff and the FBI do their jobs?
How do we keep them from blatantly ignoring the glaring warnings that come to them?
They allowed this to take place.
These parents had better start blaming those who are truly responsible for this horror.
@Mowac This was not staged
Why is this happening its not guns its people who are accountable god bless you people from Australia
prayers for y'all💖💖💖😇💯
RIP 🖤
I remember the walk out for all them I was not allowed to but I did it because I believed it was right
I gave my daughter permission, and when the school sent home a detention slip, they got an EAR FULL! needless to say, she didn't have to go to detention.
Everytime i come across a vid of what happened i cried
Love you Alyssa. RIP 😢❤
Shame on all of you saying that this lady is a liar. I met her at an event in Miami. Nobody understands what she’s going through. Stop judging how she’s dealing with the loss
jason walters her daughter passed away. Idgaf about politics in the case of a family member dying. I sympathize with her loss not her other potential motives.
Stand up against the NRA and demand gun control legislations. The Supreme court's ruling regarding the Second Amendment years ago that allowed for the general public access to any weapons, including weapons of war, regardless of consequences is flawed and largely influenced by the NRA and other conservative groups. The Supreme court's ruling regarding the Second Amendment needs to be reviewed and revised.
That crazy I was a freshman at that time I'm 18

Watching this shortly after the Ethan Crumbley incident.
Schools all around the world should upgrade their security.
. I sorry for our loss I hope you
god bless you lori
Put armed gaurds at every door and make schools like an airport. Boom problem solved.
🕊Fly High Alyssa🕊
This shouldn’t happen. Not even once. Something is critically wrong if people are willfully ignorant to the fact that too many children are dying in schools. This doesn’t have to happen. We can keep kids safe. It’s not a wish.
Bless you🙏🏻such a strong brave amazing mum🙏🏻💟🌸
i honestly think schools need to prepare us more for this we just have lockdowns that’s it and they all say this will most likely never happen to us but that’s what florida probably thought too and then look what happened and teachers at my school say it won’t happen to us but some kid just made a hit list at my school you don’t think it’s gonna happen until it does 😕
Ik I agree schools need to be hardened it's so sad 9/11 happened and airports where protected yet decades of schools shootings and nothing has changed.
How has it already been a month that’s crazy and so sad wow
My heart goes out to all these families!
Unfortunately in 2022 it hasn't changed, it's not better it's worse!
Uvalde Texas was another shooting just before the end of school this year.
Worse than this Parkland shooting because the Police didn't even save the children! They waited in tactical gear and rifles for over an hour in the school before getting into to classroom.
They found the children all hiding under the teachers desk, like they teacher told them to do, but they weren't sleeping like he told them to pretend to be doing, they all were slaughtered.
The entire grade 4 class dead!
Only their teacher survived! He has life changing injuries but the mental toll he faced has clearly changed him forever!
I'm so sorry for all the children murdered and to all their families!
They have suffered this horrible pain and unthinkable loss that will never go away!
I pray that the out come of these hearings deciding what to do with this Parkland shooter, Cruz, who massacred your child will be the decision you feel is justified.
Whether it's to execute him or give him life in prison without payroll, I pray the judgement will finally give you some closure. 🦋
I know it will never bring back your children or everything you will miss that they would have achieved, or even easy the pain you will all face for the remainder of your lives!
But maybe knowing this trial is finally over, will give you some kind of Peace of mind.
Bless your Heart's and Soul's for what you have been asked to endure.
✌💔🕯🙏🇨🇦
It is horrible to be scared to go to school
i don’t get how the way they wanna make stricter gun laws is that you can’t buy one until ur 21 but like he would of just waited till he was 21 to get one then in my opinion
Maybe this mom needs to ask the school board way they didn't do anything after the last school shooting . All the parent's need to ask way non of the public schools have done anything . Maybe call Jimmy Kimmel up and ask why nobody shoot's his kid's school . That right his kid's are very well protected , nobody can just walk on to there school's without being stop at the front gate.
Were they ever safe?
You guys are awesome
The FBI let these kids down.

i'm so sorry to be the one to say this but she sounded like she was reading off a script and acting.
createdncali she was...go to 4:45 and listen. She ran thru yellow police tape and police of 200lbs stopped her...LMAO
I got that same feeling but was afraid to say it. It sounded so scripted, like not her own words. I wasn't watching it, only listening, and it sounded like she was reading a script.
You're not sorry to be the one to say it, you came here specifically to say it. Unfortunately, your childish commentary will not bring her daughter back.
Well, who knows, but it just sounded like it. But regardless, innocent people should not be punished or manipulated into giving up their rights. They are not responsible. Let's focus on the people who let this happen that day - the FBI and the cops.
John Dahlman exactly!
If you see something, say someting. Don't say anything to the police, they will not listen.

You all can thank Obama for your lost ones
it was the Republicans that didnt vote in favor of doing something after the Sandy Hook Shootings actually
We have the entire government to blame not just a president. He can only vote to have a law change. But it does take a vote for that law to be passed. So it's not just the president to blame it's the entire government
