There’s no denying that the world kids are growing up in today is vastly different than it was for their parents, however, one mother was truly stunned when she found her daughter standing on the toilet.
At first, mom Stacey Wehrman Feeley started laughing when she caught her 3-year-old daughter standing on top of the toilet, and even thought to snap a picture to let her husband in on the funny moment. However, when she asked what her adorable daughter was doing, she wanted to cry instead of laugh.
“The moment she told me what she was doing I broke down. She was practicing for a lockdown drill at her preschool and what you should do if you are stuck in a bathroom. At that moment all innocence of what I thought my three-year-old possessed was gone,” Feeley wrote in a Facebook post, which has now gone viral.
“Politicians – take a look,” the outraged mom wrote. “This is your child, your children, your grandchildren, your great-grandchildren and future generations to come. They will live their lives and grow up in this world based on your decisions. They are barely 3 and they will hide in bathroom stalls standing on top of toilet seats. I do not know what will be harder for them? Trying to remain quiet for an extended amount of time or trying to keep their balance without letting a foot slip below the stall door?”
School shootings have become a very real threat to schools around the country, but Feeley decided to share her daughter’s disturbing reality to show why the situation needs to change. “I am not pretending to have all the answers or even a shred of them,” she wrote, “but unless you want your children standing on top of a toilet, we need to do something!”
