Safety of our children in schools

New Zealand's safe and peaceful image, was shaken when a stabbing incident happened in a school in Auckland, the largest city in the country.  For a migrant like me, this is quite shocking because we came to NZ to be free of incidents and situations like this one.  In most homelands of migrants, we've heard, seen and some have experienced violence or incidents like the one that happened yesterday.  Since one of the attractions of NZ is it's relatively crime and violence free society, this is a matter of concern for us.  We only wish for a peaceful life for our children, for our family.  We hope and pray that the boy who was stabbed and is in a critical condition will be well soon and that his family will be strong enough to surpass this test.
