There is a lot of good information below regarding how to connect with the families of Newtown as well as four video clips.
It’s been four months since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, and some of the grieving parents who told their story to Scott Pelley on 60 Minutes this week say they’ve only just begun to find their voices on the issues they care about. Many of the Newtown parents have created funds and organizations to honor their children’s memories, and in the above video player, 60 Minutes producer Henry Schuster discusses what these efforts mean to the grieving families.
Preventing another Adam Lanza: Nelba Marquez-Greene, whose daughter Ana was killed in the Sandy Hook shooting, describes an innovative idea for identifying children like Adam Lanza who are isolated in school.
Newtown parents offer thanks: Jimmy Greene, Francine Wheeler and David Wheeler say the outpouring of support they got from the public helped them go on after the shooting that took their children’s lives.
Understanding autism and mental illness: Nicole Hockley, whose son Dylan had autism, tells Scott Pelley that people who have the behavioral disorder are not prone to violence.
