My son loves to use script from cartoons and kids movies. Sometimes it's silly but we are more concerned about the script that sounds threatening. For example, "I will kill you for this" from the jungle book movie. "I will shoot you" from The secret life of pets. Now he uses those scripts when he is angry as well. I have heard 9 year old boy was charged with crime in GA for scripting from game "I will burn down school with fire bottles ". So I am extremely nervous and desperate who to ask for help. My son loves school but now I am so scared to send him to school. I can't trust teacher that they will send my son to jail and charged with crime for scripting.
