I've been reading up on the 1982 Wilkes-Barre shootings, and I can't stop thinking about how traumatic this must have been for everyone involved, especially those who survived. One thing that really struck me is how Keith Mazzillo, Scott's cousin, endured something so unimaginable at such a young age. Hiding in a closet while such horrific events unfolded—it's just beyond comprehension. I can't even begin to understand the lasting effects this has had on him and other family members who lost so much that day. It's times like these that we really see the importance of having proper support systems in place for children who experience trauma. I hope Keith and Angelo received some sort of counseling or support afterward, but the 80s weren't exactly known for understanding childhood trauma the way we do today. It makes me wonder how much more we could do now to help kids who go through such unimaginable events. Sending thoughts and a lot of compassion to everyone touched by this tragedy. It's clear that the memory of Scott and the others who were lost continues to deeply affect those who knew and loved them.
