DS has a female friend aged 14 who has over messenger has spoken about setting fire /burning down buildings. The first was the house of an ex-school friends of hers and the second time was about a Girl Guide building as she was upset they had asked her to leave due to being non-binary at the time. This event was a couple of years ago but the messages recent. No plans made, just talk (from her).

In total it’s been mentioned 4 or 5 times in messages. For info she is autistic.

Should I be concerned or is this fairly usual? I know of but am not friends with her mum so could let her know it’s happening.

A 14 year old girl has been arrested recently for starting a house fire that killed a toddler. So think it should be reported to SL at school to start with.

Thanks for understanding what I am getting at. All avenues of support needs looking at. Some may need ruled out. That is for the local authority to decide.
