If my 8 year old son threatens to kill me in my sleep on a regular basis,should I be concerend?

Is it just a phase? Should I stop letting him watch Grey's Anatomy? None of my parenting books have the answers.

Answer:
PEOPLE -- THIS GUY IS A FREAKING IDIOT -- READ HIS PAST QUESTIONS!
I would be. Chain him to the bed!!
Yeah.
if you couldnt figure this one out you shouldnt have had kids
i would explain to him that he shouldn't say things like that. if you really think he means it. i would get him some counciling.
1.yes
2.no
3.YES
Definitely. I don't think that stopping him from watching Grey's Anatomy is going to solve your problem.

Perhaps a good punishment and a lesson on respect for his parents would be a better bet.
I'd be concerned
just sleep easy and maybe he will do it...yay!!
uh ya be scared thats not okay.
Are you serious? That is really scary you should go see a counselor with him because that is not normal at all and something to be extremly worried about.
Time to put a dead bolt on your bedroom door. Won 't be the first time a parent has resorted to that.
Yes, please be concerned. That's not something he should be saying to anyone, let alone his own parent.
No, dont' be worried. You won't know when he kills you in your sleep tonight because you will be asleep.. no problem!
Maybe you can try duck taping him to his bed at night. My dad told me duck tape can fix anything... Im sure that includes a pyscho killer son.

Im assuming, based on your previous questions, that this is a joke hence the not so serious answer!
definitely
Is this real? U should B worried its not a phase its odd i would talk to a counselor
Yes its a phase, stop letting him watch shows he shouldn't be, should you be concerned a little bit, yes
I would be concerned about it. Is he violent? Does he hurt animals? If the answer is yes, you should take him to a doctor about it. I mean, it could very well be a phase but, I personally have never known an eight year old to go through a phase of threatening to kill their parents. Also, I don't think Grey's Anatomy is an eight year old's kind of show. That's more for adults.
UUMMMMMMMM Yea!! Why would he do that if he didn't have some underlying reason for those feelings. He seems to have anger steming from something within. Get him some help soon before he wakes up one night and decides to actulally do it. Take care.
yes and u should have him speak with someone who will help him
well what does gray's anatomy have to do with it. Anywhom i think you should be concered and if he does anything violent then you should probly see a socil worker.
get him into counsling before he doews do something . if hes just saying it to keep you from punishing him then i wouldnt be to worried but its best to get him to cousling there may be something that happened that made him this way or it may be just what he sees and hears . counsling now not next month or in a year do it now before the wroung person hears him says it then its worse cause then dps children services etc willstep in so do it on your own and good luck
If an 8 year old threatens to kill you in your sleep on a regular basis, he should be seeing a psychiatrist, he is deeply troubled. My youngest brother used to say things like that. He dropped out of school after 8th grade, became an alcoholic/drug abuser, and is now a middle-aged homeless drunk. Help him now, don't wait.
be very concern with this matter something has with very wrong in his life or something so sit him down and ask him why would he kill u in your sleep and this just might resolve problem. Then u can take drastic measures get down to the bottom of this please and thank u have a nice day.
This is not a phase.I would definitely seek help tonite...go to the hospital and reserve a spot for him in the weirdo ward!
Yes you should be concerned. That can be very serious. Seek professional help. You arent going to get answers on an online forum like this.
At that age i would most definitly be afraid
fu** yeah you should be concerned, hello?
hmmmm..i've never watched greys anatomy ..but i was under the impression it was a show about doctors not murderers..i'd be concerned if starts buying knifes,,,,guns and ammo...what out for rat poison in your drink too...
Yes you should
1. Lock your room door at night.
2. Seek a therapists help.
Seriously... he may need it.
