Default Never heard this "term" before

Just so baffling and so sad and no easy understanding of any of it.

I can't sleep well, I am sure like many of you, thinking of the horrible grief of those parents.
Got to agree with you! I had never ever heard this term before and when I read your post this morning I did a search on "preppers" - and I quote:

“Prepper” movement, which urges readiness for social chaos by hoarding supplies and training with weapons.

I guess I am very simplistic, but this does not fall within normal parameters to me.

I also have a real problem with the Mother in question - if you have the enormous challenge of being the caretaker of a child who has severe mental problems DON'T YOU LOCK UP YOUR GUNS?
