The advocacy group Sandy Hook Promise released a new PSA that shows kids using back-to-school items to help them survive a shooting.
Sandy Hook Promise’s latest PSA depicts kids using school supplies to help them survive a shootingreleased a new PSA this week in honor of the back-to-school season — but its message is a chilling one.
The video starts off with kids cheerily showing off their new school supplies and explaining why they’ll come in handy this year. The tone quickly changes, though, and soon students are deploying their gear to help them survive a school shooting. Please be warned that this video is upsetting and depicts a school shooting:
A boy shows off his new backpack, a girl displays her binders, another boy notes that his new headphones will help him study.A boy runs down the hallway saying, “These new sneakers are just what I needed for the new year.” A young girl calls her new jacket “a real must-have” as she uses it to close a set of gymnasium doors.“These new socks? They can be a real lifesaver,” says a child using hers as a tourniquet on a wounded classmate.
The PSA ends on a completely gut-wrenching note. A girl hides in a darkened bathroom, texting her mom to tell her she loves her. “I finally got my own phone to stay in touch with my mom,” she says through tears. Then, the sound of a door opening and footsteps. If you’re not gutted by the conclusion, I don’t even know what to say. This is the reality our children face daily — the possibility of tragedy happening at the place where they’re supposed to be safest of all.
