We do not watch the news with the kids and rarely do we talk about the bad news that occurs with the kids. Maybe it's a way of sheltering them from the sinful world that we live in but some of it is just not appropriate for their age. I'm not sure where Torin heard about the Maplewood Police Officer being gunned down last week but he definitely knew about it.
He was talking to Bjorn about it the other day and asked if his soon to be Uncle could ever be shot like that. His soon to be Uncle is in law enforecment. Bjorn tried calming Torin in saying that he really didn't think that it would happen to him or that is was less likely to happen to him. Obviously, this really didn't calm Torin as his reply was "Dad, do you have Dion's work phone number? We need to call him at work and talk to him." We haven't done this yet but it was interesting to see just how concerned that Torin is about the people that he loves.
