Please don't judge me. I have never been so distraught and conflicted. He's my only son and he's a good boy. Lately though, his behavior has become disturbing. Suspicious. What did I do wrong?
I feel like I'm through the looking glass and nothing makes sense anymore. I didn't know what to do, so I had no choice but to contact authorities. I always supported him, provided early education, avoided too much TV. Somewhere along the way, I failed him.
He loved crayons, kittens and playing at the park. You wouldn't think there was anything wrong. I mean, how can you tell? I started seeing some very strange play behaviors last week, and then those comments came. He always played with Elmo, Superman toys. Mickey Mouse was his favorite.
So last week I asked him if he wanted to go to DisneyWorld to meet Mickey and Donald. I had thoughts of how happy he would be when we got to meet the characters and came home with bags of overpriced souvenirs.
But he said said no. That was shocking enough. But what happened next turned my whole world around. He said he didn't want to meet Mickey. He wanted to meet Megatron.
I don't know when it happened, but he started to identify with Decepticons over Autobots. Oscar over Elmo. What did I do wrong? Should I blame myself, or his aunt who gave him that horrid Megatron that pales in comparison to the classic gen1 version I played with as a kid? I had no choice. I did as instructed and reported him. If your child favors Loki over Thor, prefers to be the robber in cops & robbers, or generally acts like a 4 year old who sympathizes with Muslim extremist terrorists - notify the dept of precrime. Do your part.
