Blacksburg school tries to help students who lost parents at Virginia Tech
April 27, 2007
Four students at Blacksburg Middle School lost a parent in the shooting rampage.
Experts say Blacksburg (Va.) Middle School faces a daunting task in helping the four children who lost a parent in the Virginia Tech slayings on April 16. The challenge the school faces is daunting not only because of the number of students who lost parents, but because of the awkward life stage of those students: old enough to understand what happened, but lacking the maturity a high school student might have.
