      If Trump had won the 2020 election, there was a very real chance that Americans would not be allowed to move to New Zealand. They had already banned us due to Trump's mishandling of COVID.
      As it stands now, Ardern is spearheading talks with Biden regarding the availability of vaccines and the two countries are once again, harmoniously on the same page...

      @@curtrorro9870 I disagree. It is the parents who make the decision, but that does not mean they are making GOOD decisions. If only parents always knew! Therapists, grief counselors such as myself, hospitals are very busy trying to handle trauma caused by an event or by their own parents. It's the parents job to know which children are ready to handle certain events and to know when it is not necessary yet. I don't see them doing anything to protect the children-- parents sitting in front of their children with their backs to the kids, not even seeing their reaction-- not knowing when to pause and explain, when to listen to them, when to comfort. Nothing short here of emotional abandonment. This is a textbook example. If the parents are shocked (easy to read this body language) you can believe the children are also, even moreso although their feelings, fear, may stay internalized for years. This is exacting why journalism says "If it bleeds, it leads." Worst story first. Grab 'em and desensitize them. Welcome to our culture of death. Poor, poor parenting. Looks like dad's gaming has become real. Bottom line, the parents are responsible for what young children are exposed to, and if itis NECESSARY for them to see a 5 min clip then to know how to do so. Watch their other shock and awe "good times." 5 min clip is no excuse. Where were the parents in relation to their children during this-- physically and emotionally? Five minutes i is worse. Read what the parents wrote. You're preaching to the choir.
