"Dear Amina, I am sorry"
Recently a tragic incident took place at a Washington elementary school where an 8-year-old girl, Amina Kocer-Bowman was critically wounded when her classmate's (9-year-old) gun had been accidentally fired at her. The young boy was reportedly unhappy with his family life and had planned to run away from home. He took a .45-Caliber gun from the glove compartment of his mother's truck. The gun the boy had stowed went off and the bullet critically injured Amina.
This painful incident depicts a very sick picture of the present-day American family where probably children are not properly attended with love and care!
Meanwhile, the boy in a simple letter begged apology from the young wounded girl. He wrote:
"Dear Amina, I am sorry I hurt you because I brought a gun to school... I wish everyone was okay. I made a bad choice. I was sad, scared and afraid and I did not solve my problem well. I will stay away from guns…I will promise to learn better ways to solve my problems. Again I am sorry Amina"
