Kids don't have control of their emotions at that age. Didn't you ever tell your mom or dad you hated them? Did you really hate them? This kid probably doesn't even have access to a gun. I too think this is an over reaction. The boy should be punished and forced to apologize.

I wanna see, I wanna see -- the PICS not Mo streaking. Hey babe, you need to let me know in a PM if you moved and new contact info since I seem to have misplaced the old. Or if still the same then the same contact info because I again misplaced the old.

Back that up -- that kids at the age of 9 or 10 don't have control of their emotions. Have you ever seen what a child can do when they are hell bent on hurting someone? Or destroying something?

Probably isn't good enough for me. I don't care if he "probably doesn't have access to a gun". I will remain my stance on erring on the side of caution. Period.

We will be filing criminal charges, this is a child who used the word "murder" and STLL stated that he would bring a gun after he was in trouble. He needs to learn that there are consequences to stating these types of things, period, and not at my stepdaughter's expense.

I don't want him to apologize. I think he should cease contact. The police fully back my stepdaughter and ALSO think this is VERY serious. We'll have to all agree to disagree. But I will definitely continue to update as events happen, regardless of the outcome. If the ones who think this is an over-reaction are correct, I will notate that too!!

Have you thought about moving your stepdaughter from him. You probably cannot control the school to move the other child, but you can request to have your child moved to another class.

What the boy said was wrong. But to ruin a 9 year olds life over a threat made while angry on a playground, is just as wrong. We had a similar incident, but the threatened weapon was a knife. We let the school handle it and now the kids are friends again.

She is not ruining the child's life. The boy needs help. Asa Coon's life was not ruined when he said such angry words and he ended up coming in a few days later and shooting four people. A knife? Ain't that sweet. Now what happens when this child who threatened with a knife decides he is not happy with how things are going next time. he threatens again and this time he gets detention? A nine year old -- heck a six year old -- has the capacity for violence. I have seen cases of children as young as kindergarten who have literally beat on adults, thrown chairs across classrooms and basically have violent tendencies. SHould we excuse them all as being unable to control their emotions or should we do whatever it takes to make sure they are dealt with and receive the help the need?

Something else to consider

A six year old girl has a history of violence. From the time she was three she would beat on the adults in her life. She would kick, bite and punch them. The child admits this. The reason: because the adults would tell her no. This child would destroy belongings ranging from a cross to wallhangings. She admitted to making her stepsister cry because, in her words, "It makes me happy to make her cry." She also threatened to kill an infant. She stated on more than one occasion that she wanted this baby to die and would be very happy when that happened. Her mother took her a to counselor who stated that the child had severe aggressive tendencies and diagnosed her preliminary with at least ADHD (which also is partnered with conduct disorder and oppositional defiant disorder) and strongly recommended this child receive intensive psychological treatment. Mother has the child during the week but father forced the issue when he found out that this recommendation existed and set up a psychological evaluation during the week which is the only time they are offered. Mother refused to take the child because she doesn't think there is a problem -- even though the child has beat on her, threatened to kill others, and it makes the child happy to make others cry. The court stated the parents should work together and won't force the issue until the child actually does hurt someone. In Ohio, this is not medical neglect -- even with the recommendation of a medical professional being ignored -- until the child is placed in a worse position by not receiving help. A worse position would be considered having a police report filed against her for violence.
By reporting this nine year old's behavior may not be ruining this child's life. It may actually be forcing the child to receive the treatment he needs to live a productive life. I hope the six year old gets the help she needs BEFORE she follows through on her threats or seriously hurts another child but it probably will not happen. And this six year old will end up seriously hurting another child.
I stand by my advice to OP. Report the child and it may force action to be taken before this child's threats do destroy his life. Just because a child is young does not mean they are not dangerous.
