Who will stop the bullies?

How sad that we do nothing to help our children as we watch  them become faithless in their love for God

Bully: “No.”

Me: “No ma’am. Haven’t you heard about the children who get bullied until they can’t take it anymore and come to school with a gun, bent upon wiping out the school bullies?”
