But it just doesn't make any sense. As a parent, I know my first instinct for my children would be to protect them and give them absolutely every tool I could to have them protect themselves. Which means, I'd have had them learning how to shoot a bow and arrow from day one. If I wanted to give them something to cling to, it would be like reading them to bed or some other comfort ritual. Otherwise, school is in session, and those kids would be taught how to fix an engine and what sort of things to scrounge for and how to hide. Those kids should have been set to siphoning gas or some other useful work. They'd be much happier knowing they can do something to support their community.
