Two sixth-grade students from Wake Forest Charter Academy in Wake Forest, North Carolina, are under investigation after officials found multiple disturbing drawings, presumably made by the children. Local police are examining the situation after several pencil drawings depicting deceased individuals, the repeated use of the word “die,” and one sketch of a person with a rope around their neck came to light. Another drawing included the word “help” written seventeen times, featuring a depiction of a person lying face down on a floor.

Wake Forest town spokesperson, Bill Crabtree, confirmed that the juveniles involved have been identified and that their parents are in contact with law enforcement officers. However, due to the involvement of minors in this case, further information release has been withheld to protect the juveniles’ identities and privacy.

The nature of the drawings has raised concerns within the community. As this situation unfolds, Wake Forest officials are working closely with local law enforcement to ensure student safety and investigate the origin of these disconcerting images. The impact of these drawings on the school community remains uncertain, and appropriate action will be determined based on the outcome of the ongoing investigation. As of now, the circumstances leading to the creation of these drawings and their intended purpose or meaning are yet to be revealed.
