Frightening message just left on my mobile phone answering machine

[Anyonefeelthesame]

I missed a call this evening. A no caller ID number. I thought it was my daughter because she sometimes loses her phone ID. It wasn’t though, and when I listened to the message it was a female adult slowly singing Incy Wincy Spider in a mock baby voice, then after 1 step 2 step, a male voice said “you’re going to die”.

Is this a known prank that’s going round?

What should I do?

Yes I would tell his mom and the school. It will be up to the school whether they involve the police. But I would be very insistent that the school protects your Dd if she is scared, they need to know this. That boy sounds like an awful bully.

Of course still tell the boy needs stopping what if he does this to an elderly person

Hmmm. The story doesn't add up. I'd be trying to get to the bottom of your DD's reaction tbh. At least you've had an explanation of sorts and know someone hasn't got it in for you.

I think I'd tell the school because it sounds like bullying intended to intimidate your DD and they should know about it. The school can then look out for your DD, rather than you worrying constantly.

Why is your DD scared? Is she worried about retribution should you follow through with the police?

How did she find out about who did it?

Oops, didn’t see the updates before posting, sorry

This is nasty bullying, and the school should know about it.

My grandma, in her nineties, has her first mobile phone - it was Grandpa's. He passed away last month. She's living alone now, for the first time in her life. If she got a 'prank' like this, I do believe it might kill her.

I think you have to tell someone in authority here.

Sorry if I've missed it but how does the boy have your number and does he know he rang you specifically, how did your dd find out it was him?

What I'm wondering is whether he would know who had reported it to the police
