SCHOOL BOMBING ALMOST HAPPENED IN OXFORD LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AGO! If you think the tragedy in Newton, Conn., is far removed from our community, think again. Just two months ago the FBI foiled planned attach on the Oxford City Schools. Read the press release below issued by the U. S. Attorney's Office, and ask yourself, what is our community doing to provide the best possible safety for our children? HottyToddy.Com is doing a follow-up story and we will provide the names and phones of officials who have the responsibility for the safety of children in both City and County Schools. Read this story, which will be posted here, and call officials. This community needs to address this issue now. This is a complicated issue. Money seems to be the key factor, but should not be an issue. What is the value of life of even one child? Priceless. So take time to read the article soon to be up on www.hottytoddy.com and call our officials, and let's see that our community has the best possible resources in place to protect our children.
