— For parents struggling to find ways to discuss Friday's tragic events with their children, a campaign kicked off Saturday morning encouraging parents to actually get their children directly involved in an anti-gun movement.

— which now has almost 1,000 members — asks parents to have their children write to President Barack Obama by drawing pictures of what they think anti-gun violence looks like.

This effort comes one day after a Newtown, Conn., elementary school lost 20 children, six adults and the shooter, during what has been called the second-deadliest shooting in the nation's history.

"Yesterday, like any other parent, I spent most of my day with a broken heart, crying, waiting to hug my kids in the night," wrote "Let us Live" coordinator, Neha Pallod Limaye, a Bridgewater resident.

Limaye is also the organzier behind a group of residents pushing to hold a post-Sandy Q&A session with Jersey Central Power & Light later on in January.

But when it comes to the Dec. 14 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, "It's any parent's worst nightmare," Limaye said Saturday morning.

Limaye said the group came about after she struggled to figure out how to talk about the tragedy with her children — she decided to discuss the gravity of the consequences of violence, while being vague with the details.

She said her own children — Sia Limaye, 9, and Ahaan Limaye, 8 — asked questions like, "Isn't there a law against owning guns?" and "Seems like the killer was not thinking right, did he not have a friend who he could talk to about his problems?"

While the truth still unfolds about Friday's tragic events,

, a 20-year-old from the Sandy Hook section of Newtown, Conn., as the potential shooter, who also killed his mother before heading over to Sandy Hook Elementary School, taking the lives of more than two dozen before turning the gun on himself, according to The Star Ledger.

"They've been watching the news since yesterday, and are as much in shock as any one of us," Limaye said about her children. "They've questioned the whole event in every dimension possible."

But "the solution is obvious," she said. "Change is needed. We couldn't do it ... let's allow our children to do it."

Sia and Ahaan are part of the group, and have even submitted drawings to Obama, which can be seen on the group's Facebook page.

Limaye said she hopes her group will send more than 1,000 drawings to the White House by Christmas.
