In Conception Season 2, The New York Times dove into real stories about what it was like to parent in 2018.
In one of six episodes, we are introduced to Melissa, a witness to the Virginia Tech massacre, now raising her own child in the wake of Parkland.
She never told her son about what happened in their small town. After Parkland, he has trouble in public spaces. She wonders, will he ever escape his fear?
