Update on Ari

Yesterday was the first day that the girl who attacked Ari was allowed back at school. Wednesday Ari got a text message from an unknown number telling her "I swear I wish you were DEAD!" The number was from an area that the girl had recently been in. The police have the text and the number. The school has been made aware and we are sending Ari to school. I know some of you will question that decision, but here is part of why we did it.

The school system is watching the girl very, very closely.

The police are actively investigating last weeks attack and Wednesday nights text.

We can't let bully's rule our lives.

Ari doesn't want her life to be different because of the actions of a bully.

Now, Ari does have rules. However, for her safety we are not posting them. We have offers from several friends from church to walk her to class, eat lunch with her, take her and pick her up from school, etc. We have decide to pass on those for now. Yesterday went pretty well. The girl tried to scare her by staring at her every where she saw her. Ari doesn't let that get to her. She is ready to defend herself again if she needs to but would really rather just go back to being "Ari".

I will keep you posted. THANKS a million for praying for my girl!
