Scared & need your thoughts -DD is getting notes

[Maleficent13]

I'm sorry, but I have something to add.

For those who know me on these boards an IRL, I am the just about the most non-paranoid person there is. Show my DD's picture in my sig? Sure! Her name is Celia, BTW. We live in Madison, Wisconsin. 7 year old boys by themselves in WDW bathrooms? They need to start peeing alone sometime. Terrified about "stranger danger" and random abductions? The vast majority are done by people the children know.

I am not spooked by "what ifs" and things that are beyond my control.

Your. Situation. Scares. The. Hell. Out. Of. Me.

Please keep your DD home from school tomorrow and see the police. I fear for your family.

I could have written this. I am terrified for this little girl. I can't even imagine such a thing.

At 2:30 this afternon I got a call from the principal that DD got 2 more notes , one which said You will die.

The police are meeting us at the school tomorrow morning. I am literally shaking.

:

I'm confused here, if everyone is aware of this, why isn't your child's backpack being watched, or at least put in a locker, or in the Teacher's desk or something?

Sending good thoughts your way for a day that sees some happy resolution to this situation. Know that your family, especially your DD, is in my prayers today.

'Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman'.

Or just go here .

Seriously, something isn't adding up here.

I'm with the 'Are you nuts?! Get to the police NOW and keep your DD with you at all times!!!' camp. I cannot even imagine someone sending their child to school after receiving a death threat.

This whole thing is very strange and very creepy. I understand the husband of the principal is the director of police services but why are they not doing more? Strange

I was just checking in to see if there is any new update today.
I was curious to find out where the two new notes were found. What exactly did they say. I know that one said that "You will die." What did the other say? When were they found? Where was the bookpack?
Again, I am so sorry for you and your family! I cannot even imagine how you all must feel!!!!

I believe OP said she would be at the school this morning....but we're all waiting anxiously for an update?!

 

[Pooh_Friend#1]

This is the first time I have seen this thread. This is soooo scary. Forget the principal and run to the police.

For those that missed it , there was an update on page 6 stating the police would be meeting them at the school this morning. Watch it end up being some stupid adult angry with one of the parents. The mom volunteers at the school so it's possible the anger is really directed towards the mom or dad.

OMG! I cannot imagine going through this nightmare. The only way my child would continue to go to school after all these notes is if I went and sat in his class day after day until the culprit was caught. My child would never be out of my sight for a second and I would not trust 4th graders as body guards. I would draw as much attention to this to show the person how serious Im taking it. I would demand the police to come to the school and also ask to see the "background checks" on the employees. If none were done, they would be when I got through. Adult or child, I would press for every charge against this person.

It isn't clear to me whether the police are directly involved, or just the liason officer at the girl's school. DO NOT WAIT ANY LONGER-- GO TO THE POLICE!!! I am going to be blunt here, as I don't think it will scare you- how much more scared could you possibly be? Regardless of who is doing this, be it a child, sibling, or adult, the person has a twisted perception of reality and is a serious danger to your daughter's life. The appearance of notes in the backpack AFTER the situation was publicly announced and the pack was being hidden means the predator had to sneak the notes in, running a huge chance of being caught. This is a SERIOUS statement of the predator's determination in this situation. GO TO THE POLICE!!! PROTECT YOUR DAUGHTER!!! This is one of those situations where you don't get a second chance. You are NOT making a mountain out of a molehill! This is REAL, this is SERIOUS, and you NEED to protect your daughter. DO NOT TAKE ANY CHANCES- GO TO THE POLICE NOW!!!

I can't believe how "lightly" you are taking this.

I'd hate to see you at her funeral saying, "I should have gone to the police!"

(and don't flame me for saying that as almost every one of you are thinking it!)

If a death treat towards your own child isn't important enough to go to the police, what is???????????? I am not understanding this at all..........

 

[Shelby5514]

I hope you got some answers today.

[Planogirl]

I thought that the actual police were supposed to meet them all at the school? I don't see that as taking it "lightly".

Good luck with this mess!

Hey I found "we have kept ourselves hidden from the world of men"

It not exact but close. Its on on worldofwar.net in 2 different places in their forum.

I am cutting apart the qoutes. I am almost positive someone took a bunch of qoutes from somewhere changed a word here and there and mixed them up. thats How I came across the other qoute online.... Hopefully I can find something else...

She got the death threat YESTERDAY. Why didn't she go to the police station YESTERDAY? If my child had a death threat, the sun would not set that same day without me going to the police station. My child's life is way too important for me not to have gone to the police station IMMEDIATELY. I wouldn't put it off until the next day.......... just my opinion.

I've been thinking about the OP and her reaction alot today. She has stated several times she is really scared. She has contacted the school authorities and the school authorities have now contacted the police and will have them meet the OP at the school this morning. Sometimes, when you're scared, a new parent and things are out of control, you lose sight of everything around you and rely on those in autority around you to take the lead. It's a natural reaction. It's real easy for us to sit here and see the situation for what we think it is and to give direction and criticism. It a whole other thing to be the person in the situation. Perhaps she doesn't see a difference between her contacting the police or the school contacting the police? Whatever her reason- she came here for support and constructive ideas- not harshness. Say what you need to, but please, try to say it with some compassion.

Anxiously awaiting an update... this is terrible.

Thank you for this post. We really don't know all of the details, and she may not have disclosed everything to us, either. (Not that she is purposefully withholding something from us, but that she may have been told that the police liason is the proper contact to report the incident to the police - and just not thought to give us that information). I am sure that she and her DH are doing everything in their power to keep their daughter safe.
