50 Delightfully Creepy Things Kids Did That Are Both Hilarious And Concerning
Many of us might be fascinated by horror on the screen and in the yellowing pages of our books, but it’s a whole other story when we face it in real-life. Especially when the source of it might be our tiny little munchkins. Innocent angels? Not all the time, apparently.
Bored Panda dove deep into the darkest recesses of the internet to collect some of the weirdest, scariest things that children have done that totally creeped their parents out. Sure, some of these posts look amusing, even comical, but some of these behaviors are really worrying. We don’t want to use the word ‘evil,’ but it’s the type of mean and peculiar stuff that’s bound to make nearly any grownup concerned.
If you’re a Parent Panda, we’d like to hear about the strange and even scary things your own kids have done. Tell us all about how you reacted and taught your toddlers not to do that ever again. Meanwhile, when you’re done with this list, you’ll find Bored Panda’s previous articles about truly chilling child behavior right here, here, and here.
Bored Panda wanted to understand how children learn about right and wrong, how parents can help them become more caring, as well as about people's capacity for empathy, so we reached out to Dr. Eileen Kennedy-Moore, Ph.D. Eileen is an internationally published author, speaker, mom of four, and a psychologist in private practice. One of her most recent books for children that she authored is 'Moody Mood Cars.' She was kind enough to answer our questions and stressed that when kids end up doing something that's less than kind, parents shouldn't assume that it's "a sign of terrible things ahead."

It may seem creepy to you but I wonder what it's like for the kid...sitting in the dark but there a little light just on in the corner, I wonder what that is??? Night vision cameras of affordable price aren't stealth, they have a little light on them, could be red or green. You can see it in her eyes. She's not staring into your soul, she's just wondering what that glowing dot is

My German teacher had a tattoo of numbers on her arm, and some of the 'tough kids' in my class would draw attention to it, make fun of her and say the most ghastly things to her. I was too scared of them to speak out - and I am still ashamed of that. She was an incredible teacher.
