Families in Brazil gathered to grieve their young children whose lives were taken after an ax attack earlier this week.
BLUMENAU, Brazil — They sent their seven-year-old to day care Wednesday and plunged into the deepest nightmare of any parent’s life.
Parents and other mourners at the São José cemetery barely spoke with the press as they grieved. All of Brazil was struggling for answers in the face of violence against the most innocent. “I will never forget this father in tears screaming, ’Wake up, Bernardo, it is time to go to school!” said Rose Silva, a day-care staffer at the funeral. “Why did he do that to children who were just playing at school?”
“My daughter thinks a thief came in and ran away without harming anyone,” Carlos Kroetz told The Associated Press while holding his 6-year-old’s Minnie Mouse bag. He and other parents collected backpacks left at the center during the mayhem. Parents sit alongside the coffin that contain the remains of their seven-year-old Larissa Maia Toldo, who was killed by a man with a hatched inside a day care center, during a wake at the Sao Jose cemetery, in Blumenau, Santa Catarina state, Brazil, on Thursday., according to a report from researchers led by Daniel Cara, an education professor at the University of Sao Paulo.
