They had to evacuate all of these babies and toddlers to a senior center across the street in the snow in 12 degree weather, because of a bomb threat. Apparently, this is one of many over the last few weeks in NY to JCCs across the state. And now we have to go get him. Gotta love people who would threaten to blow up babies and children.

Sorry to hear that. It happened at ours two weeks ago. My 4 year old told me that the class did a "very good huddle drill." That was a not fun day.Originally posted by Sour Masher View PostComment

ugh. sorry to hear that. my kid is in preschool at our temple in SF and nothing bad has happened yet, but there's always extra security around the temple and the JCC a half mile away.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.Comment

I can't imagine the angst this has put into you, your family and your son. I'm sorry to hear that.

i have epiphanies like that all the time. for example i was watching a basketball game today and realized pom poms are like a pair of tits. there's 2 of them. they're round. they shake. women play with them. thus instead of having two, cheerleaders have four boobs.

Same thing happened today to my friend's kids in NJ. Also happened multiple times to my friend's kids in LA.If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

Thanks for all the kind words everyone. At home with my two year old, I figured now that I have him down for late nap, I'd look up to see how common this has been lately, since several on this small forum have already been affected. Apparently, very common, with threats seeming to happen in a coordinated fashion in spurts over the last month or so in state across the country. They may be using some kind of mass caller message to get as many threats out as possible at once, and many seem to be a woman's voice. There seem to be no leads yet on tracking down those responsible: http://www.jta.org/2017/01/31/news-o...ave-of-threats
I still don't know how they got all those kids across a major street to the assisted living facility fairly quickly--they moved them before even calling parents, which I'm seeing some parents are pissed about online, but it makes sense to me to evacuate ASAP. I can't imagine it was easy or super safe to walk many dozens of infants and toddlers over there in the snow, but they managed it, and every was okay. I quickly realized this was probably an empty threat while searching it out on my phone and seeing many other threats pop up, but them having to transfer those kids just to be safe to another location did have me worried--that street they crossed is curvy and had ice all over it this morning, and I've seen a couple of accidents on it just this winter.Last edited by Sour Masher; 01-31-2017, 04:16 PM.Comment
