During the last 10 years, in the United States, school shootings have tormented entire families, triggering one of the most relevant debates in the North American country: the free carrying of weapons.
The cases of Sandy Hook Elementary School, located in Connecticut (2012), Columbine High School, in Littleton -Colorado- (2018), and this year at Robb Elementary School, in Texas, are some of the most recognized.
Many parents have chosen to take their children out of educational institutions and others have prepared them through drills to deal with this type of situation correctly. That is the case of Cassie Walton, a 23-year-old mother who trained her little boy to learn the procedures to follow to survive a shooting. Furthermore, she equipped him with a bulletproof backpack.
In an interview with the media specialized in paternity issues ‘Today Parents’, the young mother expressed her disagreement with the serious security situation that children face in educational institutions in the North American country: “It makes me very sad that we have come to this as a country and I wish it could be different. I am concerned that something will happen to my son in a place where he is supposed to be safe.”

During the recording, Cassie asked her son the following: “If a teacher says, ‘Weston, you don’t need your backpack, let’s go to the corner.'”. His response is surprisingly conscious: “No, I need it, it’s bulletproof.”
