[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Such acts have often been associated with the rage and confusion of sexual molestation.  The fact that these were his toys hints at self-blame.

(burning up personal items belonging to someone else would be an entirely different story)

[b]Loosing control of his bowels indicates pure terror.[/b]  This child needs serious help, now.  I know of kids who started small fires who were arrested and labeled arsonists.  It's a very serious matter.  Please do not delay obtaining help for this kid![/quote]

I don't think the kid actually did that ... just a phrase!!

I'd be watching him carefully, OP, and thinking back if there have been any other red flags.

What is the reason he gave?[/quote]

He told me he was bored and I admit I snapped at him for doing something as reckless and dangerous as this.[/quote]

Obvious safety issue, but doesn't sound like a serious mental health issue, OP. Posters are jumping to conclusions. My older brother's an actual sociopath, and there's no way he'd lose control over his bowels if my Dad spoke angrily to him. [/quote]
