Have posted before about a child I have who gives me concerns because of his attitude to play (he doesnt play) and his "adult" conversation.
My own Son (16) is home today and overheard this child singing a song from an iphone/pad app. The game is called Dumb Ways To Die.
This child is 4 (just)
The game features cartoon type things being hit by trains, having heads bitten off by monsters and "blood" squirting fronm the severed neck!!:eeeek:
Ive had issues with him recently scaring a younger child, telling her that the "night stalker" is coming in her room to kill her then her Mum, obviously I put a stop to that and told Mum...her reply was "No idea where he gets it from!"
I also rang the playgroup he goes to (I only have him 1 day a week) they said they have noted the "night stalker" thing and his "obsession" with death etc.
Today he has said to another child," im going to die at home, then my skin will come off until Im a skeleton!"
Not only is it distressing to the other child, her Mum isnt happy when she goes home and repeats it!
Im so uncomfortable with it all. Ive spoken to Mum numerous times, made notes in his diary to tell her but always get the same response "dont know where he gets it from"
I always make notes on anything that hes said that I find odd.
He has an older sister (7) so its not like shes lots older and showing him inappropriate things.
I know the Parents find him difficult and he does get to use the phones/ipad a LOT at home, I also know he stays up late and watches "inappropriate" films for his age, prob because hes watching late with his Parents!
Hes leaving in Aug (thank heavens!)
What would you do?
