Threats and Violence

Little Brother (see Escalating Violence post) has taken it to a new level. Today he came in from recess positively seething, just clenching his fist and emitting little snarls and grunts of rage. He also had tears in his eyes, so I called him aside and told him to take a breath. He proceeded to threaten to kill a co-worker who stopped him from fighting during playground duty. He said, " I'm gonna do a drive by and kill her!" When questioned by the principal later, he denied the drive-by part. She told him, "Let's think about how silly that is. You don't even drive." This was his chance to defend himself and clear his name. His reply?

"I do so drive!"
