Ok.. 16 year old son comes home today saying a 19 year old has said he wants to kill him. A little backround.. My son has been dating a 16 year old for over a year.This 19 year old ( btw is still in HS with my sons GF, same school) had the hots for her for a long time. She told him to back off numerous times etc and he wont leave her alone.Anyway.. today she went to school complaining that her hip was hurting ( my guess is from when she broke her hip years ago from a riding accident) The 19 year old is thinking my son hurt her and started punching walls and saying he is going to kill my son. As soon as I heard this is I was ready to get involved.My son said to hold off a while until he can talk to his GF a little later on and get more info on the whole situation. From what I know this kid is a druggy, bad all around and is a hothead. I want to go and call the cops and have him thrown in juvi for making threats against my son. I am trying to figure out how to go about it or not get involved at all and just let it go.Kids say alot of things but from what I have heard he is a POS . And I wouldnt be able to live with myself if something would come out of this.I am all for letting kids fight it out but this goes a little far.My son`s GF also said he carries a knife to school ( pocketknife or something) I know we live in a rural arera and if not all the kids.. most carry a pocket knife with them. I am not sure what to do.. Husband is not home atm and I cant contact him right now . Am I overreacting ? shoud l I let it go.. My motherly instinct tells me to call th cops and have him hauled off for making threats like that.. but on the other hand..If he is just some teenager beeing stupid.. i hate to have him get into trouble for something he didnt mean or just said cause he was angry. I know if i go to the school he will be in trouble for it.Should I go to his school and talk to the principal? Any input would be appreciated .. edited for speeeling errorz |

she did.. he doesnt belive her I guess .. he thinks my son hurt her and he doesnt care what she says ,He thinks she is covering for my son. I am still waiting on her getting back to me..She had to go take her brother to boyscouts , so it will be a bit before I can find out more. |
absolutely, with the way kids are being brought up, it should not be ignored. Besides, I do believe the schools have a zero tolerence on any threatning behavior ( just look at the gun drawing repercussions) It should be looked into. Besides He is now legally an adult making a threat against a minor. that is a no-no in itself. |

Trust me.. I am chomping at the bit here..I have my own idea of handling this but I cant do that.. wouldnt be legal and I am not going to jail for some snot nosed little kid. I dont have all the details yet and I need to get name etc yet from son`s GF.Besides.. If all this is going the wya I plan.. I be in school tomorow with the police .Makes it much nicer for me to see his ass hauled off (IF they decide to do anything about it) until then..:( I cant do nothing about it .have to wait and see until later |
