Cassie drills son Weston (5) with bulletproof backpack for school shooting | Abroad

She bought him a bulletproof Spiderman backpack to hide behind, and walks him through step by step exactly what to do.

It makes me very sad that as a country we have come to this point,” Walton told TODAY Parents. “I wish it were different.” She says she fears that “something will happen to him in a place where he should normally be safest.”

The recent shooting at the school of Uvalde in Texas was the reason for her to drill her child in this way before September 1. “I wanted him to be prepared, and to have something of an idea what to do if the situation ever arises.”
