Moms Talk: The 'Bin Laden Was Killed' Talk

Unless you've been under a rock—a very, very big rock ... far, far away from a radio or TV or smartphone—since dinnertime Sunday night, you know by now that terrorist Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan Sunday afternoon by CIA-led Navy SEALs.

Bin Laden's death comes nearly 10 years after he and his terrorist network orchestrated the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The al-Qaida leader was not killed by a drone plane bombing. Nope. Our agents and SEALs found him, battled with him and his bodyguards for a brief time, then killed him. Bin Laden was shot once in the head and twice in the body, according to reports.

The question we have for the parents of Gloucester Township is this: How do you handle discussing this historical moment with your 8-year-old daughter? Your 11-year-old son?

Patch welcomes comments from parents all day long for this special edition of Moms Talk.
