"Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets
of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown,
know that they are cared for and cherished and always safe from harm,"
Obama told a packed crowd of freezing supporters spreading out from the
Capitol Grounds.
Obama's pledge on school safety comes less than a week after his administration released a lengthy list of policy prescriptions to prevent further gun violence. They include new money for states to put safety plans in place, and a major focus on beefing up mental health services, including training teachers to recognize the signs of mental illness and get students the help they need.
