- 0:02children's drawings with disturbing
- 0:04backstories if you haven't seen the
- 0:06first one the link is in the description
- 0:07the drawings you're about to see were
- 0:09all done by kids whether they appear
- 0:11innocent or not on the surface the
- 0:13stories behind them are what really make
- 0:15them unsettling
- 0:19this ordinary looking drawing made by a
- 0:21six-year-old doesn't appear to have
- 0:23anything that would be any kind of cause
- 0:24for alarm
- 0:25on the surface it just looks like a
- 0:27young kid playing in the front of their
- 0:28house
- 0:29there's tons of smaller details in the
- 0:31drawing such as his dad raking the
- 0:33leaves his mom at the window and a few
- 0:35cars in the street passing by it all
- 0:37seems like an innocent drawing but
- 0:39there's a bit of an unsettling backstory
- 0:41behind this the six-year-old boy who
- 0:43drew this is a very well-behaved and
- 0:45quiet kid according to his parents I'll
- 0:47refer to him as Jake
- 0:49he stays to himself most of the time and
- 0:51as teachers describe him as a
- 0:52well-behaved child just very very quiet
- 0:55he has a passion for drawing and
- 0:57constantly draws pictures and writes
- 0:59little story picture books
- 1:01Jake has one sibling who's currently two
- 1:03years old who he has included in
- 1:05multiple pictures too
- 1:06his mother says most of Jake's free time
- 1:08he spends either watching Cartoon
- 1:09Network or YouTube videos or drawing
- 1:12there was no cause for alarm when his
- 1:14parents found this first picture however
- 1:16there was when they found a more recent
- 1:18picture that Jake had drawn
- 1:20here's another picture of Jake in front
- 1:22of the house but maybe you've already
- 1:24spotted it in this picture there is an
- 1:26identical car in the street with the
- 1:27same person sitting inside this time it
- 1:30seems Jake is looking at the car in this
- 1:31picture waving Jake's parents are not
- 1:34seen in this one interestingly but his
- 1:36parents were intrigued now about the car
- 1:37and who the person inside of it was
- 1:39supposed to be so they questioned him
- 1:41Jake explained that it was a car he'd
- 1:44always see out front and that the man
- 1:45sitting inside of it would always smile
- 1:47and wave whenever he saw him so the next
- 1:49day Jake's parents took him outside to
- 1:52point out the car but he said the car
- 1:54wasn't there in fact it wasn't for the
- 1:56next few days until finally one day
- 1:58while Jake was playing outside he came
- 2:00running inside to his parents to say he
- 2:02saw the car again and the man was inside
- 2:04again Jake's parents rushed outside to
- 2:06the front to look and saw the car
- 2:08speeding away past the house down the
- 2:10block
- 2:10it was an old silver Buick and Jake
- 2:13confirmed that was the car it was none
- 2:15of the neighbor's cars that much was
- 2:17known
- 2:18Jake's parents went to all the neighbors
- 2:19and asked if they'd seen that car
- 2:21sitting in the street at all to which
- 2:22all of them replied they had not but
- 2:24that they'd keep a lookout
- 2:26for a few days Jake wasn't allowed to
- 2:28play outside unless his parents were
- 2:30there with him but after the car didn't
- 2:31seem to return Jake was once again
- 2:33allowed to play freely out front but one
- 2:36day he came inside and said that the man
- 2:38in the car was back and was trying to
- 2:40get him into his car of course Jake's
- 2:42father ran outside as fast as he could
- 2:44hoping to get to the car in time but he
- 2:46saw it already down the block by the
- 2:47time he was outside
- 2:49tried chasing the car down in his car
- 2:51but by the time he even got into his car
- 2:53there was no way of tracking where the
- 2:54car went
- 2:55once again Jake wasn't allowed outside
- 2:57of the house the car wasn't seen outside
- 2:59at all for almost that entire week until
- 3:01one night unexpectedly Jake's father was
- 3:04about to take the garbage out when he
- 3:06noticed the car parked across the street
- 3:08he took out his phone to begin recording
- 3:10and hopefully get the license plate
- 3:12number and he tried to slowly get closer
- 3:14to the car without being obvious but the
- 3:16driver clearly saw him because the car
- 3:18turned on and then quickly drove away
- 3:30foreign
- 3:38Jake's father tried to follow the car
- 3:40and get the plate number but he couldn't
- 3:41this was the last time the car was ever
- 3:43seen the car had clearly been parked
- 3:45outside multiple times watching the
- 3:47house even past dark at later hours in
- 3:49the night the driver of the car
- 3:51according to Jake would always smile and
- 3:53wave at him anytime they'd make eye
- 3:54contact with each other and the Last
- 3:56Time Jake saw the car the man inside
- 3:58started waving for him to come over and
- 4:00even called out for him luckily Jake was
- 4:03smart enough to go inside and tell his
- 4:04parents
- 4:05it's not clear why the car would be
- 4:07outside even at night considering the
- 4:09boy leaving the house alone at those
- 4:10hours would be extremely unlikely Jake's
- 4:13parents brought the video to the police
- 4:14but without a clear plate number not
- 4:16much could be done Jake's father went
- 4:18door to door asking each house on the
- 4:19Block if they had cameras that caught
- 4:20the plate number but he didn't have any
- 4:22good luck the car never returned after
- 4:25this but this happened relatively
- 4:27recently in November of 2021 so there's
- 4:30always a possibility that the man May
- 4:31return
- 4:33[Music]
- 4:35drawing you're about to see was done by
- 4:37a seven-year-old and the picture itself
- 4:39is disturbing but the backstory behind
- 4:41it is surprising to start the boy's
- 4:44father Jeremy sent the story in picture
- 4:46in Jeremy has three sons Jeremy's mother
- 4:49Claire sleeps over a lot to spend time
- 4:51with her grandkids in Jeremy's words his
- 4:54mother has always been on the stricter
- 4:56side and that includes with her
- 4:57grandkids but he says that's because she
- 4:59was raised in a stricter household
- 5:01Jeremy's seven-year-old Tom is
- 5:03considered to be the Troublemaker who
- 5:05acts out against his parents and
- 5:06grandparents the most so because of this
- 5:09it often leads to his grandmother Claire
- 5:11scolding him
- 5:12one day while Jeremy and his wife were
- 5:14out of the house and Claire was watching
- 5:15the kids something happened between the
- 5:17two of them
- 5:18Tom had hit his little brother for
- 5:20taking the last of the ice cream bars in
- 5:22the freezer causing him to cry this is
- 5:25commonplace Behavior with Tom apparently
- 5:26as he's very violent with his siblings
- 5:28as well in response to Tom's behavior
- 5:31and hitting his little brother his
- 5:33grandma Claire smacked him and forced
- 5:34him to stay in his room for the
- 5:35remainder of the day Claire told her son
- 5:38that Tom was throwing a fit in his room
- 5:40throwing things at the walls and on the
- 5:42floor in Anger eventually he quieted
- 5:44down and upon trying to leave his room
- 5:46Claire once again had to get physical
- 5:48with him to get him to listen it was
- 5:50likely during this time that Tom drew
- 5:52the picture you're about to see
- 5:53when Jeremy and his wife returned to
- 5:55home they got an earful from Claire
- 5:57about Tom very angry and distressed
- 5:59Jeremy and his wife entered Tom's room
- 6:01angrily ready to scold and punish him
- 6:03when they opened the door they were
- 6:05surprised to see Tom with a smile on his
- 6:07face looking up at his parents around
- 6:10him on the floor was his Crayola art
- 6:12supply backpack with various pictures on
- 6:14the floor along with crayons and colored
- 6:16pencils laying everywhere on the floor
- 6:18there was one drawing that stood out
- 6:20from the other crumpled up drugs which
- 6:22Tom handed to his parents and that was
- 6:24this
- 6:25the drunk shows what appears to be Tom
- 6:27sawing off his grandma's head as she
- 6:29already appears to be hanging to add to
- 6:32the horrific scene Tom as well as his
- 6:34parents are wearing Smiles on their
- 6:35faces as Tom is doing what he's doing
- 6:37and of course if there was any shred of
- 6:39Doubt as to who these figures were
- 6:40supposed to be Tom labeled himself his
- 6:43grandma and his parents in the picture
- 6:45Jeremy and his wife were Disturbed after
- 6:47finding this picture as it showed just
- 6:49how messed up their child may be
- 6:50mentally Jeremy grounded Tom after
- 6:53finding this but the couple did not show
- 6:55the strong to Claire nothing good would
- 6:57come of showing her the horrific drawing
- 6:59her own grandson made however it didn't
- 7:01end there the next day when Tom was
- 7:04allowed out of his room to eat breakfast
- 7:05he told his grandmother at the kitchen
- 7:07table that he hates her and that he's
- 7:09gonna kill her Claire's reaction was one
- 7:12more of shock than anger Jeremy once
- 7:14again sent Tom to his room the way in
- 7:17which Tom said what he said was
- 7:18described to be with a hateful smile on
- 7:20his face as if he were taking pleasure
- 7:22from saying it Claire left to go home
- 7:24that day and from the time Jeremy sent
- 7:26me this she hasn't returned to the house
- 7:28Tom's Behavior has apparently always
- 7:30been on the more concerning violent side
- 7:32especially for a child his age however
- 7:35this drawing and behavior towards his
- 7:37grandmother convinced Jeremy and his
- 7:38wife to start bringing Tom to therapy
- 7:41the first few meetings Tom refused to
- 7:44speak but eventually started opening up
- 7:46more when his parents would leave the
- 7:47room their therapist says that Tom talks
- 7:49about wanting to hurt his brothers for
- 7:51the things they do and hating his
- 7:52grandmother and second grade teacher all
- 7:55I can assume they can do at this point
- 7:56is take it day by day with their son
- 8:02this last one was a bit different and
- 8:04that the kid is a little older than the
- 8:06others and some of the drawings were
- 8:07done on a computer the child who drew
- 8:09the pictures you'll see shortly was 13
- 8:11years old at the time
- 8:13the drawings were found and submitted by
- 8:15his older brother Cody the little
- 8:17brother's name was revealed in some of
- 8:18the images but I'll blur them out and
- 8:20refer to him as John John is described
- 8:22as a recluse by his brother who gets
- 8:24picked on by some of his classmates
- 8:26though he found these pictures a year
- 8:28ago he submitted them recently and now
- 8:30the two boys are in high school with
- 8:32Cody being a senior and Jon being a
- 8:34Freshman
- 8:35John and Cody share the same gym period
- 8:37and Cody sees his little brother gets
- 8:39slightly picked on in gym class whenever
- 8:41he's an earshot Cody says that although
- 8:43he's tried to help his little brother
- 8:45break out of his shell he's come to
- 8:46accept that the two of them are just
- 8:48different John likes to go home after
- 8:50school and play computer games all day
- 8:52instead of doing his homework or hanging
- 8:53out with friends this is exactly how he
- 8:56spends his weekends too and while his
- 8:58brother and parents worry about him
- 8:59they're not really sure what they can do
- 9:01to help him his teachers are all
- 9:03concerned over his consistent lack of
- 9:05effort and poor grades and they even go
- 9:07as far as to ask if everything is okay
- 9:08at home due to his extremely quiet
- 9:10nature one day while Jon was out with
- 9:12his mom somewhere Cody being curious
- 9:14about Jon decided to snoop through his
- 9:16notebook and see if his brother even
- 9:18took any notes in class but instead of
- 9:20normal notes there were just really
- 9:22weird Doodles and drawings littering the
- 9:24pages if there were ever any notes taken
- 9:27it would be covered by stick figures
- 9:29apparently fighting or shooting each
- 9:30other with bow and arrows or guns there
- 9:32were also apparently other unusual
- 9:34drawings usually violent all of which
- 9:36Cody took pictures of now being curious
- 9:38what Jon did on his laptop 24 7. Cody
- 9:41decided to take his laptop and sign into
- 9:43it After figuring out his password
- 9:45against his brother's knowledge
- 9:47his desktop was packed to the max with
- 9:49game icons and folders but the first
- 9:51place that Cody went to Snoop was the
- 9:53pictures folder and inside of there he
- 9:55found multiple folders containing weird
- 9:57cartoons drawn on Emma's paint by John
- 9:59they were for a YouTube channel that Jon
- 10:01had made in which he animated very
- 10:03simplistic graphic cartoons but the most
- 10:06disturbing and eye-catching one was this
- 10:08one it started with a picture of a
- 10:10school then it cuts to inside a
- 10:12classroom presumably John's classroom
- 10:14the plot of this cartoon video is
- 10:16basically that John had been missing
- 10:18from school and when his teacher asked
- 10:20the class where he's been Jon suddenly
- 10:22arrives with a shotgun in hand and a
- 10:23combat helmet this is where he threads
- 10:26to kill all his classmates and then the
- 10:27teacher if he can't answer his questions
- 10:29correctly the name Mr Reynolds is used
- 10:31in one of the pictures which was in fact
- 10:33one of Jon's actual School teachers
- 10:35names meaning John Drew these pictures
- 10:37based on his own life
- 10:39I know these are just stick figure
- 10:40pictures but knowing how YouTube is with
- 10:42demonetizing or age limiting videos I'm
- 10:45not going to show the rest of the
- 10:46pictures but basically John ends up
- 10:48shooting everybody in the room and by
- 10:50the end of his video in the last drawing
- 10:52John's character smiles and says on to
- 10:54the next classroom it may be a very
- 10:56disturbing hints into what's going on in
- 10:58John's head and what may be going on in
- 11:00a lot of kids heads in school who may
- 11:02keep to themselves or feel that they're
- 11:04being picked on
- 11:05Cody never told his parents about the
- 11:07videos or pictures but rather confronted
- 11:09his brother on them out of embarrassment
- 11:11most likely John deleted his YouTube
- 11:13channel and got extremely angry at Cody
- 11:15but he never ratted him out to his
- 11:17parents for going on his laptop because
- 11:19he knew Cody saw some bad things on
- 11:21there Cody had a talk with his brother
- 11:23asking if he ever had thoughts of doing
- 11:25what his drawing did in his video and he
- 11:27said absolutely not it was just for
- 11:29YouTube views a year has passed since
- 11:31then and Cody says he's tried to help
- 11:33his little brother who continues to act
- 11:35differently from his peers and he
- 11:37contemplates going to his parents about
- 11:38the things he's found on John's laptop
- 11:40in a situation like this it would
- 11:42definitely be best to inform authority
- 11:44figures as in this circumstance given
- 11:46Jon already gets picked on and keeps to
- 11:48himself most of the time the images he
- 11:50drew may be indicative of something he
- 11:52fantasizes about doing in real life
- 11:55foreign
