As a parent, the safety of my child is my number one priority, and reading about cases like Athena Strand's makes me realize just how vigilant we need to be every day. It's heartbreaking and terrifying to know that someone we often welcome into our homes, like a delivery driver, can pose such a risk. I remember the first time I heard about a similar tragic incident; it immediately changed how I approached letting strangers close to my kids. I've since implemented strict rules about interactions with unfamiliar people when my kids are around. For example, I always supervise when deliveries are made and never leave children alone during these times. I also teach my child about 'stranger danger' in a way that empowers them without instilling fear—such as trusting their instincts if something feels wrong and knowing how to call for help. The hashtags #justiceforathena and #athena emphasize how important it is to not only seek justice for victims but also to raise community awareness. Sharing these stories is painful yet necessary to prevent future tragedies. The world can feel like a scary place when something like this happens, but it also pushes us to create safer environments for our children.
