BIRMINGHAM, Ala -- A mother in Birmingham, Alabama, is noticing the impact school shootings in the U.S. have had on her son, CBS affiliate WIAT reports. Sixth grader Javon Davies recently wrote his version of a will -- a letter addressed to his best friend in case he is ever killed at school.

"It was a PlayStation 4, plus controllers, plus the game that goes to it. My cat, my TV, my Xbox," Javon told the station.

His mother, Mariama Davies, said she was shocked when she read the letter her son wrote after his school received a threat.

"I could not believe it, you know. I mean my child is in the sixth grade. This is something he should not be thinking about," she told the station.

1. Wow...

How pathetic and sad. Amurika.

[hamsterjill]

2. Tears my heart out.

And angers my soul. Our children should feel safe at school. Full stop.

Fuck the NRA.

[Sneederbunk]

3. And to the NRA I bequeath a warm pitcher of spit.

[mahannah]

5. Spit is too good for the NRA.

[jpak]

4. The NRA is raising a whole generation that will put an end to its reign of terror

yup

[Canoe52]

6. How does anyone make guns more important than our childrens sense of safety?

The price of freedoms my ass, you are not free when you are scared to death.

If I had anything, anything at all that did this to my kid, I’d chop it up into little pieces and throw it out.

FAH! (Fucking Ass Holes)

7. So tragic. Our country is corrupt and sick & we must fight hard for change.

Time to get to work people, like your lives depend on it!

8. The NRA should pick up lawyer's fees

for any kid who wants to write a will because of fear of getting shot at school.

[Nitram]

9. That's kind of silly. What's he putting in his will, comic books?

Kids know how to get attention. Just look at Trump.

[jmowreader]

10. It doesn't matter WHAT he is putting in his will

The fact that a sixth grader wrote his will shows how screwed up this society has become.

[LanternWaste]

11. What leads you to believe the child is doing it for attention?

What specifically leads you to believe the child is doing it for attention?

"Kids know how to get attention."
Posters do as well. At least the kids have the excuse of being kids...

[Nitram]

12. Because if you're a kid, and you are afraid of dying, writing a will would probably be

the last thing that would to occur to you.
