I understand that carrying the list around the school is foolish, but what if he was going to the trashcan to throw it away? (Note: Didn't watch both videos, couldn't take that much stupid.)
Kid suspended for having a Deathnote on a bus

The only ones who've committed a crime here are the one's on the list. Bullying is illegal, why aren't the police investigating the scumbags on the list?
The mum in the video really annoyed me: "My son is on a death list, because he's a bully. I want the child he victimises to be arrested!"
Someone slap that terrible parent.

Far away from curious eyes lest their names become the next to be written down.[Kira Must Die said:
Well, I don't know about you all but I had a death list myself at that age. I've grown from the need to have one since then. And also, I have a Deathnote as well. It's empty, but . . . incase I ever do need it, I have it. Sure it's mostly a souvenir and something to tell my friends that watch anime "hey, look at this haha" but remember . . . you never know for certain what the future will hold. Dangerous perhaps, but so are guns and knives . . . and they can also save your life.teh_pwning_dude said:
Well, from my perspective I don't think having a death note is entirely healthy. You can say you wan't people to die, but writing it out... that takes it up a disturbing level. There are better ways to deal with bullies, kicking his ass is good, for one.
First: Yes they overreacted. Two: Why did he have a death note with actual people's names in it?!? I love the manga and anime, but making an actual death note, with actual PEOPLE'S NAMES, is rightfully disturbing.
Yeah, am I the only one who thinks that if I was a parent of a kid on that list, I'd be wanting to seriously know what he'd done to piss that other kid off.
Sure I don't want my kid to end up being bullied, but I sure as hell don't want him being the bully either.
I'd say with a list of 8 it's not just something like one kid dated a girl he liked, I'm guessing those 8 have all been pretty rough to that kid.
Of course tho, from the video, it seems like the parent's going 'well my kid is perfect and someone needs to get that other kid kept away from my darling child.'
Suspension might be the best thing however, as these things will get out, and his life would have been hell the next day, a couple of weeks to let things settle down is probably for the best.
It's an option for bullied kids tho, act like you're one step away from going postal and bringing an uzi to school, and maybe the bullies will back off, sure you can't beat em in a fight, but you might be that complete whackjob who murders dozens of people, and I'd leave him the hell alone. (obviously I'm not advocating DOING it, just saying, if you can't get em off your back, acting a bit weird might help
)

oh, this is just silly. now, if he starts carrying extra apples around, i'd get worried. and if he can get rid of a "certain teen pop star," more power to him. lol.
The Justin Bieber part had me in stiches.
Really though, the kid probably meant no harm, but you don't take lists like that to school with you, and if you think the majority of adults (or probably even students) know anything about some anime show you may be deluding yourself.

These comments boggle my mind (not including the OP). You're treating a 12-13 yar old boy as if he's an adult. The fact of the matter is, children don't have the proper coping machanisms to deal with things like osracization properly. This is why bullying is such a huge problem! To say that the child in question is bringing it upon himself and that he should be dealing with these issues himself is absolutely ignorant! He can barely do fractions and you're asking him to contemplate some of the most deep seeded emotional problems he has or find someone who can can help him work through them by himself. Your stupidity in your opinions is astounding and I do hope you realise the error of your ways before you end up tangled in a similar scenario as karmic retribution.RadicalDreamer90 said:
Speaking as someone who was bullied day in and day out from grade one to grade eight, I can definitevly say that this exemplifies how useless the public school system can be. Instead of spending the extra teacher to watch the bullies in question for a few weeks to try and get a better feeling for the situation, assist the bullied boy by introducing him to the guidance counselor to talk through his emotions and make him understand that though he was trying to supress certain actions by letting his emotions flow out that they're still wrong, and overall fix the issue by being able to integrate the child into the classroom environment with a more positive outlook thus giving a more positive experience in the years to come for him and those around him, they simply decided to fuck it, be lazy and send the kid home for the rest of the year to fuel his emotional instability even further and let the potential bullies move onto another victim without worry of ever being questioned again! But maybe that's just me making sense again, which clearly is a bad thing. Honestly, this isn't a difficult situation to understand and fix, but the staff at that school must just be too friggin lazy to bother with the extra time to help one student who seems to really need some help, especially with an outcry such as that.
And to everyone who's wondering why he might have done this, let's go into a possible scenario, shall we? Child is being bullied. Child feels safer at home and has very few friends so he watches a lot of TV. Child sees Death Note and is enthralled with it because it exemplifies justice done to bad people that normally get away with bad things (bullies). Child gets a Death Note in classical fanboyism purchase. Child writes the names of people that are bullying him to vent frustration. Child brings the book with him as a security item in hopes that maybe if he believes in it hard enough, the bullies will not hurt him today and simply go away (in this case, death) through some form of divine intervention (Shinigami). It seems silly to adults, but that's often the thought process of a child. It's not logical in our terms, but it certainly follows a particular path of logical thinking. In all honesty, I want to see this kid helped, but no one seems to want to, which is the saddest truth of all.
So, to the OP, I ask this: please do the right thing and go find this kid some help. Talk to your parents, gather some neighbours, get the school he goes to involved, but for the love of God, please get this kid some proper help so that he doesn't end up being another statistic in a bloody memory of another school shooting.
Coolest OP ever. I haven't read the 5 pages of posts but did anyone else think the apples displayed in the videos (1:16,0:50) odd? Is it just a creepy coincidence or did someone at the news station know the significance?
"L Do you know Gods of Death love Apples?" - Kira
Also did the kid just leave the cause of death blank (heart attack) or did he specify. I mean if he wrote "killed by me with a shotgun on xx/xx/xx at xx:xx" then i would be concerned.
Also i can sympathise with the kid, in jrn. school i was bullied, I've never seen a shrink or anything but wouldn't they encourage you to write down the names of people who cause you problems? Oh and writing Justin Bieber down just shows good taste in music.
he said he wanted to kill Justin Beiber
When i saw that part of the video i nearly fell out of my sea laughing. HAHAHA he has Justin Beiber on his death list. I really hate Justin, she is a horrible singer.Josh_V2.0 said:
The student who wrote the list obviously needs some counseling, not because he's dangerous or on the verge, but because he's obviously been hurt and needs help working through it and the mom of the bully needs to get her son in line. I mean you don't just write the name of someone you want dead willy nilly, you need a reason to hate them enough to want them dead. Plus, the school district is taking this way to harshly. Wanting bullies dead has been a part of life since the beginning of time.
Plus, if you notice those other schools that have had death note problems like Ohio, such as Virginia said that they're dedicated to providing a safe school enviroment....well if it was so safe why did the kids feel the need to write those lists in the first place?
We just don't pay enough attention to our children these days and let them get away with too much. I'm not an authoritarian, but I do believe kids need more boundaries than parents usually set these days.

3)the kid has friends (my little sister is not his only friend)
4)the teachers arnt lazy or outer mean words(school nurse is the exception to this) the guidance counselor is going to talk with him when i was in middle school he had lunch everyday with a group of kids and talked about there problems
