SS12 Death Note
:jawdrop:
Just got a call from BM. She found a death notebook in SS room. In the notebook he wrote down names of people he wants to see dead and how. Wooooow!!!
Researcher me found that there is a fictional thriller book "Death Note" from China. High school student finds this death notebook and learns how to kill people by simply writing the name in a notebook and picturing the face, etc.
SS didn't have the book "Death Note", SS has a Death Notebook with names of people, friends and family he knows. The scarier part is that he likes certain bands that constantly sing about death and suicide and SS has a very bad temper, cruel sense of humor, victim-mentality, etc. (For months I have had an inkling, maybe a six sense, an uncomfortableness about his whole demeanor and for a split second I felt unsafe. I actually thought if angry enough he would hurt someone. I let go and started to pray and of course went about business as usual and now this.)
On various occasions I have told H he needs counseling but of course, H didn't think it was that serious.
This is very disturbing to all of us. H, BM, GrandM and me.
H and BM had a three-way conversation a few minutes ago and now BM wants H to see the notebook. (She's very frightened and angry.) I told her counseling is in order, not just for that but because of everything else and she said she would. I pray she does.
I desperately need to know how to handle this and if anyone in the group has gone through this. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Please keep us in prayer.

Woow
You are sooo right. H is going to look at the book to tonight. I believe it's a wake up call and an issue that needed to be addressed a long time ago but at least BM and him have to deal with it. The situation you mentioned is heart wrenching. (Love to hear in private message what were some of the signs the parents saw.)
Last night when H found out, he said "I can't believe he never talked to me about it, If he can't talk to me, he can't talk to anyone."
For some reason H is in a state of serious denial as to how divorce affects children. I said to him this morning, "If he has issue with you, he can't speak to you about it." H response was, "I've always been there for him." I replied "It's not the same as you being at home." Of course, he got defensive and brush my comments off. (Denial is his coping mechanism.
Thanks for your response Nodoormat.
a situation
My son went to school with a kid that had a death note, and the school took it very seriously.
(he left it out on his desk) the parents of each of the students was called as well as the parents of the kids.
it was very scary for all concerned.
I talked to my son and he said that the kid was picked on constantly by other students, and he not well liked.
I think you might need to contact the school just to find out if he has had issues with other kids/
it maybe the son doesnt feel like he can talk to anyone, he may feel that no one has ever felt the way he does.
keep us posted
good luck

Troubled Youth
I think how in my generation, I'm in early 40s. Yet, we didn't have columbine, etc. The anger, the hatred, the violence in the heart of youth is unbelievable. I believe human nature remains the same but how our youth are managing their emotions is very disturbing.
Thanks for the words of wisdom saiDeschain, I'm waiting to hear back from H, to find out who is in the death note - and if there are any students I will tell him he'd have to tell the school and I'm going to cut and paste - the responses I've received (w/o letting him about my secret counseling place.) will keep you guys posted.
nothing but love...
Sooo Sad
NoDoormat, I read the article -- the sad truth is that in our religious circles(and I include my church) we tend to over spiritualize and miss the natural. There are a lot of hurting people, esp kids and we're not paying as close attention as we should. Everything can't be solved with just a scripture and a prayer. By that I mean, intervention, counsel, support group, doctor, etc. Hurting people need tangible help. Our children's cry is for love and attention. Someone who will listen and care. Popular saying: We are often the only Jesus people will see.
The note brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for the info.
PROCRASTINATION UPDATE
You know I should have known that H, wouldn't take as seriously as he should. Like I shared, BM called us on Sunday Night about this. He said he would go the followind day Monday but didn't. Decided to go yesterday. (If it was me I would have been out there Sunday night, he has a car for goodness sake.) Anyway...So H went there yesterday night H calls me from BM house to tell me SS is coming over to our house at about 9pm because he didn't want to talk. Well, SS came over and still didn't want to talk. (duhhh!!!)
(Not to mention that he and I had a heated disagreement Monday night because he blames BM for everything that is wrong with SS and I pointed out yet again he needs to take responsibility too. He said, "She gonna pay for everything she's done to him! Blah, Blah, Blah." I told him "No you both are gonna pay. You not the bad guy. She has issues and I know she's far from perfect but I see that you curse his mother out right in front of him when you argue over the phone and you had a marriage with constant fighting and that affects a child."
Of course his immediate response was to defend himself.
Sooo...I'm trying to wrap this. Around 11pm, SS went to take a shower so I asked H what happened. He was short and said I don't want him to hear. (So it's OK for SS to hear him mad but not this - where is the logic in that. OK fine. I asked him what was in the note book. His response, "I can't remember." (Yeah Right!@!) I asked, "You don't remember what you read?" He said, "It was over 6 pages long and I didn't understand it?" (What's that supposed to mean?" It wasn't in English. Again Yeah Right!!!) So I asked where there any names?" He hesitantly said, "No." (As if frustrated with my questions.) And closed it with "We'll talk about this tomorrow, I'm really sleepy." I said you have a real double standard. This is really serious, Is he going to get counseling?" He said "Yes." (We'll see.)
But didn't he press from sex a bit later and yet again, YEAH RIGHT!!!
I'm not going to let this go this is serious and I want some real answers tonight.
Wow.
I just can't believe he didn't drop everything and haul ass over there to confront his son I.M.M.E.D.I.A.T.E.L.Y. Have you guys or BM witnessed any other questionable behaviors? It's hard sometimes to tell if the writing is just venting, which is healthy, or planning, which can be disastrous. Does knowing about this notebook trigger memories about other things he's done or said in the past that now make you question the seriousness of this? I would seriously be looking hard at any corroborating behaviors. The notebook could be a tip-off or it could be nothing, but you don't know it's nothing without doing some investigation. I just can't believe his dad did not jump on this.

Very Serious
GeorgiaI would say that this is not just venting, H did say, "The book said, whoever reads this will die...but I don't really understand it." (yeah right) BM called that day very upset and I spoke to her personally and from what she said and her tone - it's serious. There's something he doesn't want me to know.
