“I want to be sure we take a moment to reflect on the horrific shooting in Florida. Our continued thoughts and prayers go out to all who were affected by such a senseless act. As a parent, I cannot imagine the kind of grief and tragedy like that brings. And I hope and I know we all find ourselves wondering what we can do to help,” she said, according to CNN.
“I have been heartened to see children across this country using their voices to speak out and try to create change. They’re our future and they deserve a voice. I know all of you are seeing this in your own states and territories too. And I believe that if we all come together, we can start to affect positive change for our children and help prepare them for their futures.”
“It is important that as adults we take the lead and responsibility in helping our children manage the many issues they’re facing today. This means encouraging positive habits on social media and technology. Even limiting time online and understanding the content they are exposed to on a daily basis,” Melania added.

Melania has not responded to the tweet.
