Payne says she immediately took her kids out of their schools after the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in December of 2012.
“My kids aren’t going back to regular school," Payne said. “I love my kids. You know I'm taking the initiative to homeschool my kids. they need to be with me. So I know where they are at."
Payne said after hearing about the most recent shooting in Uvalde, Texas, she’s glad she made the decision to homeschool her kids.
