Really? Which statistics are these?
Behave, Justin. Once there's been one incident then statistics exist. Whether they've be collected into anything significant other than to feed our 'shock-horror' hyper-ventilating media and social engineering politicians is another matter. The point is, as you know, kids, like the rest of us, are at risk from random attacks. In fact, it's only a matter of time before some psychotic group of Literalist lunatics decide to make another 'glorious' point in their journey towards global nihilism by publicly slaughtering more innocents.

Given this, and given the unbelievable ineptitude of the great and good in dealing with the problem, don't you think it would be a good idea to give your children some clear, hard-nosed, practical advice. And don't you think it would be a small act of generosity to share it with others?
