Is anybody else worrying about potential terrorist attacks on primary schools?

[SunnyPearlFish]

Over the last week I've seen lots of videos/social media posts regarding potential terror attacks on primary/infant schools. Following on from them doing lockdown practice runs in school. It's got me so worried to the point where I'm considering home schooling my children (5 and 4). They absolutely love their school, it's a lovely small village school with brilliant teachers and they have a really close knit group of friends there.

I know it would break their hearts if I pulled them out of school but I can't stop thinking about something awful happening to my children.

On the other hand, I know I need to keep things in perspective and really consider the chances of something happening. I'm just so conflicted, I don't know how well I'd be able to home educate them, I don't really have the confidence to do it.

Just looking for some advice really and peoples opinions. TIA

@Daughterofanangel Perhaps you can talk us through where you’ve got the impression from that your child is at risk?

Yes please do. I asked what you're afraid of @Daughterofanangel - perhaps we can reassure you. Or encourage you in how to get help.

Oh look! The ‘right wing’ ‘racist’ accounts on X were right again. At this point the only difference between ‘conspiracy media’ and mainstream media, is the time it takes for the information to be released.

Walk around in la-la land, and pretend these threats don’t exist all you want, if if helps you sleep at night, but I’ll be taking precautions to keep myself and my kids safe from these nutcases.
