I am waiting, not so patiently, for my son to get home from college. he is due any moment, and only home for 2 weeks. What would I do if I got that call that something had happened? I keep track of bad weather in areas close to my children. How would we feel if our children died because of faulty construction? Havn't we seen that in hurricane areas? If faulty construction was responsible for all of those children's deaths, than those who built that school are responsible. My thoughts and prayers are with those families.

Between this story and the losses in Burma, I'd have to be a professional and personal ice floe not to feel sadness for these massive losses. Losing a school means losing the youth of a community. How horrible. I am glad so many are coming to aid these children without parents and parents without children. My prayers are with them as they deal with this tragedy.

So many lives lost and for those greedy few, who chose to line their deep pockets over the safety of people's lives; I wonder where they are now? What are they thinking and can they look at themselves in the mirror? Amidst all these, it's good to see and know that the people of China are giving all the help that they can and providing the children and all those in need not only in provisions but also kindness and love, the nourishment of the soul. Thank you for all your effort in ensuring the rest of the world know their stories.

So many have lost their lives in these tragedies, and so many others who survived, lost their family and are now alone in this world. It would be a good idea if the nations effected by these tragedies attempted to place the displaced children into families who have lost their children. Nothing can ever replace the loss of even a single life, but a program like this could begin the healing for all those effected.

So many children dead who should have survived if the schools had been built right. The grief of the parents and the emptiness each child's death created is probably beyond words I hope the local officials who siphoned off the money to be used for the construction of good schools are prosecuted and held accountable. I have wondered in watching the coverage if China might relent on its one child per family rule for those families who lost their child in the earthquake. <a href="http://anniekatec.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Annie Kate</a> Birmingham AL The pictures from the quake are hard to look at especially the ones from the schools.

Most of all seeing the schools and the dead bodies of the students still in them and no one can remove them. Then seeing the parents there waiting for any sign of their child is so extremely sad. I hope that someone is held accountable for the shoddy way those schools were built. I am glad that there is a place that is trying to house and take care of the many orphans as I am sure there will be many more showing up. Hopefully they can be adopted out and find peace with what happened. The devastation in China is horrific.
