There’s some news from Chicago this morning that was shocking to me, to say the least. I will add the story after a brief comment. I think we, as adults, are just caretakers while we are on this earth. We are only taking care of things until our children, or someone else’s children, take over. We can lead by example, mentor them on what we’ve learned, and learn with them on subjects we’re not familiar with. That being said, here’s a story from the Chicago Tribune-
2 boys found stabbed to death; suspect held
Tribune staff report

Two boys, aged 14 and 12 and believed to be brothers, were found stabbed to death this morning at a South Side apartment building, and authorities said a suspect who “had a relationship with the family” was in custody.
In addition, a 13-year-old girl believed to be their sister was taken with stab wounds to Jackson Park Hospital. At a morning press conference at the scene, Deputy Chief of Detectives Michael Shields said the girl had managed to escape the residence. She was in stable condition, he added.
Officers found the two boys about 3:30 a.m. at a residence in the 7900 block of South Ellis Avenue, police Officer Hector Alfaro said earlier. Shields said police had been called by a relative, whom he declined to identify.
The boys were stabbed multiple times, according to other sources. The children’s mother apparently was not home at the time.
The identity of the victims was being withheld this morning.
Further details were not immediately available.
As always, your comments, and opinions are welcome.
