A NEW and worrisome school year began in Uvalde, Texas, today, three months after police failed to stop a gunman killing 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School.

Ashley Morales is putting her son, Jeremiah, back in class — because she says she has no other choice as a working single mother.

“I’m just nervous, scared,” said Ms Morales, whose son was a third-grader last year at Robb Elementary and lost three friends in the May 24 massacre.
