My oldest daughter is 11 years old. Some other kid at her school decided to put a note in her locker saying, "I'm going to kill you." My daughter to the note to a teacher. The school called, and told me about it, and said its been happening to other students. That they will be upping security, and putting in extra cameras including one facing her locker. She comes home today, and tells me that some kid decided to write the B word on her locker. I hope to God that they caught at least this kid. I'm so freaked out, and glad they are with my mom tonight. I'm seriously going crazy, and trying not to eat, or drink for that matter right now.

    If there is a camera facing her locker, then wouldnt they already know who it is?

    There wasn't a camera facing her locker at the time the note was put in there.

    I'm not aware of any gun laws allowing children to have guns so how is your comment relevant?

    Unfortunately this isn't unique to your child. My daughter has experienced similar incidents at school...part of it I think is the age (lots of drama), part of it seems to be a decreasing respect in the schools and the influence of media and movies such as The Hunger Games. The child who threatened my daughter said that she would "spear her in the stomach and slit her throat". Your school took it more seriously than ours did so I'm glad to hear that they are taking active steps to find out who did this. Hopefully that person will be caught and dealt with accordingly.

    Prayers and hugs to you..I know how much this hurts from a mom's perspective. =(

    Does your daughter use the internet often? I'd keep an eye on that too because I hear a lot of kids using facebook and whatnot to bully kids as well.

    Yes, because criminals really care about laws...

    I'm sorry this is happening to your daughter. I know it's difficult to see a child hurting, and wish I had words of advice. Praying they find the child(ren) responsible for this and that you all have some kind of resolution.

    They only play on a few sites on the internet. Webkinz, youtube, and pbs, and that's all in view of me. I don't care how "kid friendly" a site says it is, you never know what weirdos are out there lurking about. So everything they do at home involving the computer is in my site. I know that's probably really strict, but my girls are 11 and 10, my son is 14. I don't trust many people.
