Does my son have signs of a serial killer?!
Question: Does my son have signs of a serial killer?
Growing up he was bullied and picked on because he was a shorter and smaller child during the time. My husband told me he cried when I went to work. Every time he got bullied or picked on he always cried for awhile. He is very sensitive and it's very easy to hurt and offend him. But his counselor said he was like a volcano. She also said he has a lot of anger and emotions inside. That is why he blew and stabbed his teacher.
When he was 11 he threatened to bring a gun to school. When he was 13 he punched his teacher. When he was 14 the police raided our house because he was threatening to kill himself with a knife. He seems very sad, upset, depressed, and he has really bad paranoia and anxiety.He also has turned from a nice, quiet, sweet little boy into a mean, racist, angry, young boy.
I noticed when he gets mad at someone all he does is focus on wanting to kill them, and he makes plans, and various stuff like that. It's the same with his love interests. There is one story that disturbs me about him. There was some girl at his school who is very pretty and he has a crush on her. He knows everything about her. Her favorite food, music, movies, interests, her pets name, her parents names, birthday, etc. She hardly knows he exists, but yet, he learns and find outs.
He talked about getting married to her, having children, having a family, etc. He was so obsessed with her. He has these obsessions with every pretty girl he meets. But when they break his heart, his obsession turns to him wanting to kill them. Same with his enemies.
Is this something to be worried about? Are these signs of a serial killer?

He certainly sounds like he's on a collision course. Whether he will hurt himself or someone else first I don't know. Sending him to that counsellor isn't going to cut it, he needs expert psychiatric help before he gets worse. You also need support in how to deal with him. If the counsellor can't diagnose him you need someone who can.
That is more than enough to be worried about your son needs to see more than a counselor he needs a therapist. One that specializes in that type of behavior.
Not specifically. No.
But they are signs that he could cause serious harm to somebody someday.
He is depressed and frustrated; needs more counselling and care.
ME :-(
yeah it sounds like he does :[ get him help asap
You know the reason why he is turning to start wanting to kill every person he gets angry with?
You do know right?
Since 9 Years Old.
And now how old is he? I don't know it seems like 5++ years has past since then.
That is a long period of time and in such a long period of time, he would have obviously changed.
What you need to do is to start being his friend. Like really, his BEST friend. Not just a mother.
He has no one to confide in. From what i see.
You need to care for him a lot more than you usually do.
You see, the fact that he talks about getting married and having children shows that he's looking at a brighter future.
Even more, he is OBSESSED with this.
Well, most likely, i'm not a professional i'm just 16 but he is wanting to have a better life and a happy life. because he is so obsessed with it, it shows how much he WANTS it.
When the girl denies him. He gets so angry that he wants to kill. (although your son takes the word "kill" too likely) BECAUSE his DREAM(S) gets destroyed.
I don't know the solution but he needs love and care.
I hope you can solve his problem.
God bless. :)
whoa serial killer? that's jumping the gun... he just seems like he has alot of emotional problems, it's normal for kids to be angry if they had a complicated/bad childhood, maybe you should try and find out if you could of done any better as a mother toprevent him from the things he went through instead of thinking of your son so negatively.
There are no 100 percent signs that point to whether a person is going to become a serial killer or not. There won't be any until a person actually starts killing people. That said, YOU should be more worried about trying to get a PERSON some help and support instead of trying to figure out if he is going to be a serial killer. Start with a therapist lady.
He sounds liek he could possibly be bipolar or have a mood disorder or just plane anger issues. If he cries, falls in love, gets angry easily it could be bipolar, mixed with another disorder like ADD or ADHD. I hope this doesn't offend you but it takes four wheels to make a car go, if one wheel is flat it wont work. You are the wheels on his car, if their are any family problems it could greatly effect him. Being too strict can lead to rebellion, make sure he has a hobby, get him involved in some sport or exercising to get out his anger. Make sure you aren't afraid of him and he knows you love him. Make sure you spend time with him do things with him, get to know him more. teach him how to be social and how to make firends, and how to talk to girls so that he wont feel different.
