Son's Friend Made Alarming Drawings

I need some help. I found a hand drawn comic strip type booklet in my son's drawer this afternoon. It was drawn by his best friend with captions above the pictures that had horrible words in them. Kill him, and get rid of the body and profanities etc. I don't know what to do about it?? Is there anyone who can help me?

Thanks for contacting the Boys Town National Hotline. It's great to reach out for help and support. I can understand your concerns about the drawing your son's friend made. He may have drawn something he possibly saw in a comic book or TV show or there may be a problem he is struggling with. Do the two boys attend the same school? Are you acquainted with the boy's parents? I would advise you to either inform his parents or the school counselor about the drawing. They can discuss the drawing with him and decide whether he needs any type of professional help.

At the Boys Town National Hotline our trained counselors are available 24 hours a day/7 days a week to help callers with any problems that they may have. If you want to talk we are here for you. It's great that you are reaching out, we would like to help! Please call us at the Boys Town National Hotline....1-800-448-3000.
