  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A small Wyoming town and two fathers are grappling with grief and anger after a woman struggling with her mental health killed three of her four daughters before shooting herself in the head on Monday.

Authorities identified the late mother as 32-year-old Tranyelle Harshman. The deceased daughters are Brooke and Jordan Harshman, ages 3 and 2, and 9-year-old Brailey Blackmer. Brailey’s 7-year-old sister, Olivia, survived her mother’s murder attempt inside their home in Byron.

In a press release published Tuesday, Big Horn County Sheriff’s Office said they got a call from a woman they have since identified as Tranyelle Harshman at approximately 1:30 p.m. on Monday. She reported that gunshots had occurred inside her home and that “her daughters had been shot.”

Our mental health system need an overhaul. It’s no wonder these tragedies happen. This type of thing scares me because of everything my sister struggles with. I know
how easy it is for people to fake well-being when they aren’t. They rarely hold them long enough to get stabilized.

May the children who died rest in peace and rise in glory.

May Jesus take care of the survivors.

Jesus please help us to find better ways for young mothers with PTSD, and all others.
