Yeah - we live on Amesbury - this was 5 or 6 doors down from my house. We had just left for the weekend so missed it (a huge fight broke out as I understand it, prior to the stabbing) but it leaves us wondering how to address and message this with our 6 and 3yr old boys. Quite a few residents naturally horrified, as others have said, with the age of the victim and the time of day - just so brazen. I had heard the boy was recovering well, but nevertheless, tragic.
I wouldn't stress about it loads, they are kids so it's rather natural/normal to shield them from the reality of how dark the world can be at times. Beyond "don't be stabby, it's bad" what will a kid of 3 or 6 get from a long talk about it.
