It's been really rough the last few days, and I'm about at my wits end here. A family member passed away, a mentor of mine passed away, and another family member was in the hospital. But that's not the worst thing.
I got a call from my 7 year old's school today. He had apparently wrapped the string from a bag around his neck, and when the teacher stopped him and asked what he was doing, he said he wanted to meet Jesus. My son is a happy child, and no, he was not consciously trying to die. He had been convinced that he could go meet Jesus and be just fine afterward.
He and I had a long talk, and as soon as I explained to him what could have happened, he started crying so hard and apologizing over and over. I know he didn't mean to scare me, but I was so terrified to get that call.
He sometimes watches Minecraft videos on YouTube kids. I made him show me where he got the idea, and they were videos that autoplayed after his minecraft videos on there. I've reported the videos and completely uninstalled YouTube. So just a heads up that crap like that is showing up too.
