Found this bloody weird note….

If it was a popular bag I would assume that the kids have picked up and used the wrong one at some point and the bag is someone elses is or they have managed to get the right bag back to the right person. The batman figure makes me think that.

All my kids used to come home with an absolute pile of rubbish in their bags at the end of term. More than likely him and everyone at his desk had things sitting out on the table and he's picked up some things belonging to others by accident. Sounds like something a girls wrote to a friend, as they can have really neat writing. I wouldn't have even given it another thought.

It could be that s child has written down the middle word in predictive text on an iPad during ‘golden time’ in the last few days. Or some other AI generating site

Then it’s either been put in the wrong bag or your son was with the scribe on an iPad has forgotten about it as it was a non event.

These are the ones my iPad has come up with just from the middle button.

“The people that were in attendance at that meeting are not going anywhere”
“is that what they say about the president of the union”
“don’t you agree with me that they have to be fired”

Hi I used to work in a shop that sold children's backpacks and sometimes I would check the backpacks because people would come in the shop and leave things in them like religious leaflets etc.

Is it a new bag?
Is it obviously a child's bag?
Was it left lying around anywhere?

There are some weirdos out there but I wouldn't be worried about it

Have you had the ‘secrets’ chat, OP?

Surprises are ok, but no one should ever ask you to keep a secret from your parents.

That kind of thing?

If you can’t find the phrases online, then it sounds like the kids have made up their own chain letter or similar “spooky” game.

Your son probably either forgot he was playing (school did break up a while ago) or thought he might get in trouble so denied it. I wouldn’t be alarmed by the neat handwriting - some children do have neat writing at 10.

Assuming he’s still at the same school (about to start Y6) I’d drop it off with the teacher in September. You can acknowledge that the kids have probably forgotten all about it over the summer, but say you thought you’d let the school know it was going around. Some sensitive children can get scared by these games, although it sounds like your son isn’t bothered at all. If he’s going into secondary I wouldn’t bother.

This is exactly what I thought
It sounds like advice from a grandma especially not sitting on cold floors you know to avoid piles
Does he have a grandma?

sounds childish, so it has come from another child

Errr, not sure what I am missing & I am someone who is easily spooked. The list of instructions are perfectly normal, you shouldn't sit on cold floors and be carefully who you trust etc!

Do you have a blue cup OP? It is strange but would like to know what rest of note says

The list rings some bells for me. I wouldn't be surprised if it was linked to a text they were reading at school and there was an activity whereby the teacher created resources in the form of these letters containing advice (taken from the book) and the kids have to open the envelopes and discuss the relevance of each piece of advice, then write their own.

Put it in the bin, OP, and move on.

Completely overreacting OP. It would barely register with me if I found it

It is weird, but I would say it’s a hand written note from a mother to her child, and somehow it’s been put in your DS’s bag.

The Batman figurine probably belongs to the same kid.

Perhaps they’ve got similar bags and there was confusion. Kids can end up with all sorts.

I thought it was!

It's fine. He's fine.
Stop worrying.

Right, here’s my theory as someone who works at a school, I don’t know if it’s right! Children take part in RSHE lessons, these are more about social lessons/friendships/health/community etc. I wonder if the teacher has asked the class or small group as part of one of the lessons ‘what rules do you follow? Or what things keep you safe etc’. Perhaps the objective of the lessons was about following rules etc someone’s clearly wrote their work on a piece of paper or perhaps a TA has scribed for a child.i don’t get the scary thing everyone is talking about.

I guess this is because I don’t have kids so I don’t see the weird and wonderful things they do behind closed doors but frankly I find it terrifying!!

I regularly have friends kids for overnight stays or even for a few nights when they go away (I’m an amazing friend!) but if I came across a random superhero figure and that note then I admit I’d be pretty freaked out. I might consider calling an exorcist but I’d do some intensive scrutiny first, whatever happens I’d be locking my bedroom door at night 😂.

It’s bad enough I have a black cat called Salem who appears to be practicing some sort of voodoo at 2.30am on the dot every morning (standing on the arm of the sofa on his hind legs howling) but I couldn’t have some sort of Damian child on the premises as well. I live in the middle of nowhere so couldn’t risk the two of them ganging up on me with no witnesses.

I hope everyone is right OP and this is just kids games, it sounds like weird kids who would write a note like this but it’s likely to be innocent. I would certainly be locking your back door though and hiding the key!

Sounds like a secret code or chain letter, just ignore it unless his behaviour shifts at all to suggest he is being picked on etc then you can gently bring it up again.

What’s scary about those instructions, seem quite sensible to me, apart from the milk and juice. That should be “Don’t drink milk, it’s rank!”.

😂😂👏

We need all the sentences, it's obvious this has some missing because the password isn't complete. Can you just post an image of the full note please OP?

It could be anything - a classmates grandma with dementia writing herself notes and it falls in his bag.

An English task.

Kids playing a word game.

Meh, every time I help my 8-12 years old children do a deep clean of their rooms and belongings I find reams of notebook paper with bizarre things written on them. Just harmless fun with siblings/friends, that age lives very much in their own world. I wouldn’t think twice about it.

Your post gives me Christopher Pike flashbacks...

Could it be a list of mnemonic devices to learn, something like 'Richard of York gave battle in vain'?
