"Sometimes - bad things happen. Innocent people get hurt/killed. People do bad things without knowing how much it hurts other people. Sometimes it's because they are unhappy inside and don't know how else to express it. But sometimes it's just simply because that's what they want to do." This is my answer to Rae…

“Sometimes – bad things happen. Innocent people get hurt/killed.

People do bad things without knowing how much it hurts other people.

Sometimes it’s because they are unhappy inside and don’t know how else to express it.

But sometimes it’s just simply because that’s what they want to do.”

Kids who as "where did I come from" may wonder where they were born and parents panic and start explaining the birds and the bees. Thoughtful answers are best, even if they take time to formulate. I don't have children, but if one asked me about this tragedy I'd be stumped too. Should the situation arise, I would suggest expressing your own frustration and confusion about such a horrible act and ask her what she thinks about it. In lieu of solid answers, thoughtful discussion may work better. Good luck! That’s a tough one – but I think you take the right approach.
