Today, I got an angry call from my 7-year-old son's school. It turned out that while doing a "what I want to be when I'm older" assignment, he wrote that he wants to be an internet troll so he can make people mad and make them kill themselves. FML

Sounds like you need to have a bit of a talk about compassion...

This behavior needs to stop. You need to talk to(at this point) your son and verbally try to help him stop. If he continues, then the punishments should begin, whatever severity is warranted for making people WANT to kill themselves.

Sounds like a kid being a smart ass. I would ask him about but I bet you'll find he was trying to be funny or get a reaction.

Sounds like your kid has his priorities straight. Tell that teacher that his goals are not for them to judge.

@37 Being concerned about harmful behavior is part of a.teacher's job.

Maybe don't let him spend so much time on the computer. To be fair though, that question does get pretty old by the time a kid is in second grade.

So, if I get this right. You get a call about your son, your first reaction is to get on the Internet and tell everyone? Maybe you should log off, with your kid and start parenting him.

Making a five-minute internet post about it at some point in time doesn't necessarily translate to "immediately and only did that". Get off your high horse.

My high horse? Lol. Sorry if expecting a parent to lead by example is considered being on a high horse. I hope someone like you don't have kids. Parenting a 7 year old child means involvement in their activities, watching their interaction with others and guidance. As a parent myself, I don't believe being responsible as a parent is being on a high horse. This parent goes to fml saying their kid might be an asshole, instead of logging off and changing the parenting practice. Wake up.

To #57: Friendly reminder that the "Today" in an FML story is mandatory and that this could have happened years ago. For all we know the parent did indeed take action as soon as she got the call.

So by your logic a parent should cling to their children's leg 24/7? Even when their kids are at school, sleeping or something, parents aren't allowed to go on the internet for 5 minutes? Yeah, OP should have a serious talk with her son, but that she's posting an FML doesn't make her a bad parent.

Oh geez 57, as a parent you should know better than to be on the internet yourself! You made at least 2 comments on this thread. I sincerely hope your children are alright after this neglect.

Okay buddy. But my kid is not the one wanting people to kill themselves. *shakes head*

I'm honestly wondering where a 7 year old even came up with that from. I know times have definitely changed, but does he get a lot of unsupervised internet time or what?!
