Earthquake in China - death toll 9000 and students and trapping many more. Causing chemical leaks and buidling collapse.
As a parent that scares me to death. I probably would hesitate to send my kids to school if something similiar happened them
I know it probably can happen anywhere, and they are probably safer at school. But again, many school buildings are outdated and safety of these buildings have not met the standard ordinance, but government officials don't have the people or funds to bring them up to city codes.
So as a parent what do we have left.
This earthquake took place in China, many parts of China don't have the available funds as well.
it is a tragic story.

This is so devastating! We had that earthquake a month or so ago and it didn't do but minor damage and I cannot imagine one as bad as this one. That one woke us up and scared us so I cannot imagine how scary that one in China was. I pray for all those and their families. Keep us informed.
