How does Viellette situation affect children?
With all eyes and ears on the news that Michel Veillette, charged with killing his family and setting their Mason home on fire, hanged himself early Tuesday in his cell at the Warren County jail, it begs the question of how to explain something like this to children. Veillette himself had four children, ages 8, 4 and 2-year-old twins. At the time of the their deaths, Pulse-Journal staff writer Denise Callahan, who has followed the case extensively, reported that grief counselors were sent to the Mason Heights Elementary School, where the Marguerite was a student. Jacob was in preschool at the Mason Early Childhood Center, where staff members carried on as usual. Two schools serving different ages handled the situations differently. How much do children understand about death and even murder? What is the appropriate response with children who are dealing with the death of a loved one or a friend?
