‘Troubling reports’ — Uvalde mayor says promised state aid to grieving families, survivors of school shooting has been ‘insufficient’
The DA’s office is “not equipped or staffed to provide these services,” Gutierrez and McLaughlin wrote.
They requested that Abbott instead place the Texas Department of Emergency Management in charge of the center. “There is no worse pain imaginable than losing a child,” the letter said. “This pain is made all the more severe because of the way these children were killed and injured. In short, the State of Texas ought to use every available resource in law to make these families whole.”
Abbott has described the center “as a single location to meet the needs of the community and provide easily accessible resources and support.” Among other things, the center was supposed to help residents access mental health services, including medication, tele-psychiatry and grief counseling for students. It was also supposed to help people secure worker’s compensation, unemployment benefits, health insurance and financial assistance with extended childcare.
