The World is Full of Crazies

I was finally starting to pull it together when I got to work this morning. It is Halloween, so it is always a fun day looking at all the creative costumes of our 300+ employees... Today was an exceptionally creative year.
And then I get a text from Jazsper's school. They have evacuated all the children to the school buses and they are parked away from the school at the baseball field out back.  Some idiot called in some sort of a threat.
But my heart. I couldn't even breathe. Literally. I fell apart completely. I called Paul and he immediately went to the school to get Jazsper and make sure he was safe. I truly don't know what I would do if something happened to Jazsper. I was so so very scared. The sherrifs/troopers/police went thru the school and it was deemed safe to go back in, but I had Paul bring Jazsper home. I wanted him home. where he is safe.
What kind of a person does such a thing? How scary is it thinking that it is not 100% safe for my little boy going to school. I am sure it was some sort of a prank, I would hope that was it. But those poor babies seeing all the police come into their school, being rushed into buses and drove away to the back of the property....
And to top it off. It was the day of their halloween parties... Luckily we got a text, shortly after it all started stating all was well, and the kids could stay or be checked out, and the parties were rescheduled for tomorrow.
I was just so glad when I could talk to Jazsper and know he was with Paul and on his way home.
I was shaking, it has taken almost until noon before my brain has slowed enough to start thinking straight and calm down.
This is crazy that someone would do this. It is becoming more and more common. And it scares me. The world is becoming such a crazy and dangerous place.
