what about the kids?

.
In January 2010 a 20 ft. high retaining wall collapsed in the Hills of Rivermist community in San Antonio. TX. Google "Hills of Rivermist retaining wall failure" for stories and photos.

What about the children? Are they traumatized by what's happened? I can only imagine what goes through the mind of a small child when something like this happens. the HUGE wall failure (I find the photos shocking, and I'm 64 years old!). the trauma of being moved out of your house, away from your bedroom, your toys, your friends, and all that makes you feel safe and secure. Seeing parents worry...
.

Shoddy construction.
Inept government inspection.
HUGE physical damage.
But, that's not all.
There's HUGE emotional damage too.

Visit United Home Owners of Rivermist on Facebook, and pray for the homeowners and for their children.
