Kudos to Mom for prepping him. It’s just so sad that this is our reality 😞
Lockdown, lockdown, lock the door.
Turn off lights and say no more.
Get behind a desk and hide.
Wait until it's safe outside.
Only in America. This really doesn’t happen anywhere else. Most other counties might have 1or 2 school shootings every couple of years. Here we have 3-5 a week. Just not all of them are mass casualty events so they don’t get reported on.
@@texanlady4 only in United States. North and South America are doing fine.
@@jasongill5390 North America and South America are continents. When speaking of “America” it’s understand that stands for the United States of America’s as it is the only country with that word in its name it is considered a nickname for the USA.
@@texanlady4 OF AMERICA stands for the continent. America isn't the country though.
“You run as far as you can, mom will find you”
Broke my heart☹️
Same 😭
This is literally bringing tears to my eyes..I can't believe this is something we have to teach innocent children! Good job mama!!👏🏾
Sad that mama has to prepare him for such a thing, but thank God she's doing it!!!! Great parenting. You have to prepare them; there's tons of crazies out there.
This isn’t normal
A school that was safe with armed staff outside would not let a shooter in. Obviously americans cant handle guns. So you either stop selling and buying them or this will never stop. The only thing you can do now is to put officers outside of schools. In Switzerland we never had a school shooting. And we have guns in every house hold. Just dont use guns when you aim at people.
It isn't normal,but in the modern world there are many things that aren't normal,that are normal. Great that kids learn this stuff.
@@shyyybe8078 Welcome to America…
Edit: Everyone has to do lockdowns drills at school too, regardless of age. It’s sad really.
@@brucekilby9957 And what if she trained him for this and then in the panic and rush of things, he couldn't stop himself wailing in fear or the shooter said; 'Hey! The cops are here!' and he yelled; 'Good, help us!' and the shooter came in.
You can only put so much responsibility on a child facing off against a clever, weapon-carrying adult. And that responsibility is like 2%.
A better way would be to teach him to stay quiet álways (even when there is a cop, because it's not like the cops will abandon the school after walking around once) and when he feels nervous, draw a heart in the air with his nose (or with his nose against the back of the backpack) and "send it to mommy and daddy."
And then they'll send a heart back and he'll likely feel that as warmth near his heart.
That way, whether or not it's his last moment or his last moment-before-being-saved, he will have thought of his parents and felt loved. And kept calm and quiet.
THAT is more important, because THAT is what they actually have controll over.
“Mom will find you” ❤️
Wow im not even from America, but this made my cry, its so sad
@DumtainYT then what other countries beside the USA force its parents to have to go through school shooting drills with their children? name a few please.
@DumtainYT but America has many many more school shootings than any other country.
Which is probably why this person commented on America
@DumtainYT We dont hear about it as much from other countries tho
@DumtainYT yet we hear it more from america once every two days
@DumtainYT isn't it though? Lol
20 seconds in and I'm in tears. It's heart breaking.
Me too.
I got teary as soon as I read the title. It makes me so sad that this is our reality. The mom is amazing for preparing her son.
Feel the pain in your voice as you are training him.. & yes, mom will find you, Amen to that! ❤️
This made me cry, it’s so sad that we have to teach our children to protect themselves at school. A place that should be safe.
She's a great mom for doing this but if I lived in such a dangerous country I would not want to be a parent. I'd be afraid of my child walking out the door everyday 😩.
It’s a dangerous world. There’s many other dangers children and adults alike should be prepped on. Sad.
The only shooting that happened in Japan was the former prime minister, and even before that they didn’t have any shootings for decades
@ButterflyGirlForever i live in a country where the murder rate is one of the highest in the world and there is not one school shooting i can recall
@@Whatisthis438 that's coz they use katana swords 🤭😄
@ButterflyGirlForever no it can't. Take your head out your arse and look at the reality
I cried, when she said mom will find you
"what if your teacher says you don't need your backpack?"
An excellent question, and good on her for thinking of every possible outcome of this scenario. Also, it's probably a good idea to inform the teacher which backpack are bullet proof, it would be much safer for the teacher to grab the bags instead of risking the kid when there literal seconds to spare. I know some classrooms have lockers inside the room, like my first grade class a couple decades ago, but keeping it in the hallway lockers might make it difficult to reach without exposing yourself to a potential bullet.
Also what if I told that mom I can fucking see this kid’s head and toes a shooter can easily shoot that head
I love how this little boy think it’s all fun and games (smiling and laughing) at the same time we cud also hear how hurt the mom is while training him for this particular scenario 😢
This is why I homeschool
My heart when she said MOM WILL FIND YOU
The baby's first thought was to say "I'm here"🥺.... Mom just gave him tools to survive. Sad world we live in.
And what if she trained him for this and then in the panic and rush of things, he couldn't stop himself wailing in fear or the shooter said; 'Hey! The cops are here!' and he yelled; 'Good, help us!' and the shooter came in.

it's crazy that you have to prepare these kids for war when they're going to learn smh
Yeah and the thing is...in war, you're basically done for as well.
They're out to get you and that's it. There is no technique in war, except the basics of 'duck down' and 'be quiet.'
Other than that, you are dead within weeks, most likely. Have you seen the movie 'All quiet on the Western front?'
War is not about skills or learning techniques, it's about sheer luck. Same happens with shootings.

“Show me how you use your bulletproof backpack.” 🙁🙁🙁
They are making bulletproof backpacks for kids there ? In most of the other countries there are drills like fire and earthquake but this is just sad.
I hope this kid or any other kid never ends up in a situation where they have to use this.
You can now buy bullet proof backpacks, jackets, vests, and hoodies. All that look totally normal. Welcome to the USA. Land of the free and home of the brave.
They have been around for over 5 years or so. In good old Merica we got pink guns, you can get just about everything bullet proof, almost everyone has a GoFundMe for basic needs, and you can get food bigger than your head 🤣
I'm terrified to tell my 7 year old that this could happen. She is a naturally anxious child and I'm afraid this will make her scared to go to school.

That made me cry. America, you are broken, absolutely broken. ''Mom will find you'' my fkn heart
When he said I'm here and mom replied absolutely NOT. You do not say a word if the shooter is in the room...I started balling 😢
Oh my God that made me cry. Schools can't keep our children safe anymore, this is why I've been homeschooling my kids for 4 years now. Best decision we've made as a family. My kids absolutely love it. They are happy, healthy and excelling safe at home with me, plus getting home cooked meals. My children want to learn and it's impossible for them in school with all the unruly children.
Same 👍👍👍
I was homeschooled kindergarten through high school and it has changed the course of my life in a not great way. I received a subpar education from parents who were not qualified educators, i have no life skills, and ive never had a friend outside of the internet. at the time it seemed like a great idea. make sure youre really sure...
@@luigi7834 there's absolutely no reason for you not having friends. Parents need to make sure kids are having interactions with others. It's our job to prepare you for the future.
@@vickiefinney6073 You meet kids from different area's at schools, that aren't like the ones in your neighbourhood.
That does not happen if you stay within your neighbourhood.
@@Widdekuu91 who says we don't go outside our neighborhood
Good job mom! Even if it’s a weekly or daily practice to be as prepared as you can. Do it!
Well i am fucking heart broken. Way to go America.
I been going through this for a couple of years now with my daughter we talk about each class what does it look like what options are there in the class where she can hide , I always tell her sit next to the window and break it to runaway and if there is no other way play dead be silent, my 2nd grader cry’s but unfortunately it’s a conversation we all parents must have .
Sad reality! Always praying for all the little ones at school!!🙏💞
This is heartbreaking
This is so sad. You can hear it in her voice. This is why if I can help it my child will be homeschooled, people around us are disapproving, but we won't have to worry as much about bullying by kids or adults and school shootings.
And then, once they grow up, they will never have dealt with fights and bullying and won't know what hit them.
I've known a girl that was homeschooled and the day she arrived at our school, we asked her to speak up a bit. Politely.
She ran to the hallway crying, saying we were out to hurt her and that she couldn't believe we would be so mean to not even praise her.
If you feel so strongly about this, I suggest you take a step further and move to Germany. Safe environment, they speak English and you'll raise the kids there.
As a teacher this video makes me glad to see. However, it also breaks my heart.
Omg this gives me chills I wanna cry so bad but it’s better to cry during the drill than after the shooting
This just break my heart, to see what we have to teach our kids these day 🥺 So they can be safe in school.
What a good Mom❤ Making her Child prepared but not making overly scared!
Heart breaking.
🥺 omg! This brought tears to my eyes! It’s so sad how it’s come to this where we have to teach our kids about this! 😫 God job, mama! Your doing great on parenting your child! It’s a good idea to teach our kids about this! I love how your told your son “mom, will find you!” It’s true mom’s will go to the moon and back to find/fight for our kids!! No matter what!!!
THIS MAKES ME CRY
It’s so sad 😭!! But we need it ❤️🙏🏻
I cried so hard. This is our reality. I am so scared for for my kids and the children of the world. God please protect them!
I dread having to do drills with my kindergarteners. Heartbreaking
This breaks my heart. So sad that this is the reality in the US. I live in Canada and I can't imagine having to send my child to school with a bulletproof backpack. I didn’t even know they made them 😥💔
Big huggs to this little boy, I hope he will never have to do this..along with other kids.
props to mom for teaching the kid how to protect himself when theres a shooting drill
This hurts my heart
I was recently in an active shooter threat and thanks to all the training I have had it helped me stay really calm and I helped my classmates stay calm as well. Great job mom!
Heart braking stuff
This made me tear up
Back in the days - parents worried about earthquakes so we always had drill practices in Cali. Heart breaking to know, this is our reality now.
Omg you are such a good mom ❤
This is just sad!
Oh my 💔! This is our reality, sadly.
I had the same talk with my junior daughter for high school again. This is ridiculous but we must teach them!
Thats the reason Im going to homeschool my nephew and niece . I don't want to lose anyone to school shooting. I can't imagine my day without hearing them call out to me .
🥺 This is one of the reasons we homeschool… it’s totally worth all the sacrifice.
This is just so sad....
This made me cry too. I can’t believe this is the point we’re at. I don’t know if I even want to have children anymore considering the world I’d be bringing them into.
It’s better to be prepared than to be sorry! I agree 💯
Great job mama!
This breaks my heart and yes its sad and reality can be hard❤
I would do the same in this type of scenario 😔 teaching our children to be prepared wow how harsh can going to school be...
This is a awesome parent.
Why do you have to send kids to school when it is so unsafe. Home school them or online schooling. Its difficult but safer
This is Sooo Sad!!! And Real.
We might have to do this too in couple years
Great job mom💜
It alr is our reality I just graduated hs this year and we’ve been doing these drills since as far back as I can remember. Every school year or new teachers show us what to do in there specific class- Had one teacher that would randomly yell lockdown and time us while we barricaded the classroom
A school shooting happened in my school once it was the scariest time of my life
Reminiscent to my moms instructions of what to do when I get kidnapped.
Beck 👋
Where do you buy this bag
I was so happy the day my last kid graduated high school last year! I still have to worry about college, but it seems to happen more in elementary to high school more.
This is sooo Sad awwww God have Mercy and Send Help🥲
Ugh! We must do better so families don't have to do this!
All moms should have such drills
Nope. This is far from normal unless you’re with American or in a 3rd world country
Even moms in countries where school shootings never happen?
Dont pay attention to them alright? Its smart to ALWAY prepare your children for anything even the WORSE CASE scenario’s like this…cause lets be honest would you HONESTLY rather be SAFE Or sorry…
Mom will find you! She always will little buddy ❤️
This is heartbreaking that this is something that we need to think about this
We had to practice these drills at school since columbine but no one took it seriously. Now though its a very real threat and its tough at 5 to learn this.
This makes me so sad.
That made me so Sad... but I will teach my child to be ready as well
Best way to keep your child safe is to take them out of public school and homeschool them
This is outrageous! He is not ready to prepare for something like this! He is too young to understand what this active drill is. Plus I don’t what grade school kids to be scared to go to school because they’re worried about shooting could happen. This appalls me. Back when I was in grade school, we didn’t have lockdown drills and I’m 24. School shootings have been happening ever since the Columbine shooting in 1999 which was the year I was born
And this is supposed to be the greatest country on earth XD
Never
Still a decent place to live.
You should go to mexico, africa , central america, china or cuba . You dont know how previliedge we are but theirs evil everywhere . you just go to acommadate to your surroundings.
I dunno...just the fact the mom knows school shootings are a possibility and still sends him anyways is mind boggling. Home school ur child lady.
You don't know if she is a single mom. If she is, she has to WORK. he would be home alone all day
God im gonna cry…
So sad this is our reality. I remember the first day I picked our son up from kindergarten and he pointed at a tree line and said “That’s where we run if a bad guy comes to school.” I lost it.😭
😭.. poor kids
Exactly why I am not sending my children to school in this country. I am fortunate enough to have that option, not everybody does
I love the part where she says Mommy will find you
Good mommy!
absolutely choked me up that this is necessary.
I need to be teaching my nephew this.
Totally get It. 😓
I have so much anxiety about my Daughter starting school next year 😭
good mom
That poor baby. These poor kids having to live this SAD REALITY!
This isn’t normal….
As far away from the school possibly in to more danger? Select a place you feel is far enough?
I told my friend she needed to do this with her 7 year old. Teach him to climb the fence and to run home! She thinks I'm overreacting.
This is so sad that we are even having to first having to a think about the fact that we need to start teaching our children how to stay safe at school and be the fact that school is no longer a safe place for children what the hell is the world coming to these days
Good job...
So sad
It’s sad that parents have to teach their kids this 😢
This is so sad, but necessary.
And what if she trained him for this and then in the panic and rush of things, he couldn't stop himself wailing in fear or the shooter said; 'Hey! The cops are here!' and he yelled; 'Good, help us!' and the shooter came in.
