15-Year-Old Girl Stabbed to Death in Croydon

TRIGGER WARNING:  Once again, I kicked off the Blogging Carnival for Nonviolence with a terrible, tragic, violent and preventable death of a young person, this time in Croydon, South London. 

15-year-old Elianne Andam was stabbed on a crowded bus on her way to school, apparently by a 17-year-old boy when her friend rejected flowers he was offering her.  Elianne tried to intervene in their argument.

Go here for the blog and to listen to our discussion on my Success Strategies show.  

What can we do to prevent these kinds of incidents from occurring? 

Go here to learn more about Nonviolent Communication (NVC).
