[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So more stuff happening tonight.   Tonight there were social media posts that Monday Wakefield would look like movie set because gang surrounding the 18 year old jailed last week was coming.  Went on to say 2 groups were going to have gun fight at school.  After DC saw these posts kids were saying “stay safe” and planning to skip.  Word got to authorities and principal sent message about 11 pm acknowledging social media posts.

Things are so messed up.  Don’t know how school is going to put it all back together. [/quote]

Ugh this is so terrible.

My DC is in elementary, and all of this is really giving me pause about our long term plans and if we stay in Arlington. Remote work is sounding inviting. Yes, there are problems everywhere, but, Arlington shows no interest in course correcting.

We lived in Green Valley for several years before we finally moved in 2021. We had enough gunshots and drugs and violence and screaming at all hours of the night to last us a lifetime. We advocated a lot to the civic association and county. The county was empathetic, but, acted like their hands were tied. The civic association showed complete indifference, and a member even had the audacity to tell us to move if we didn't feel safe.

If the scales have not already fully tipped, they are very much in the process, and things are not moving in a good direction. [/quote]
