A 16-year-old student is being questioned in connection with an attack and attempted abduction of a fellow student at Keller High School. I know this kind of thing happens. I try not to lose my head about it while still not becoming desensitized. But this is my home town. This is my high school. This is where I played as a kid. The road in that picture is a road I know. That scares me.
Keller is my home town. It’s the place my family came to to get away from the horror and the violence of the Los Angeles suburbs. It’s where things are quiet and safe. Keller is still listed as one of America’s top rated smaller cities. I still feel safe when I am there, driving through its streets.
Now I know Keller is growing. I can see the face of it change every time I return. And I guess more criminal activity is expected with population increases. But for some reason, that doesn’t make me feel any better. I miss my safe little home-town of Keller.
