Still Waters Posted May 9, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Attention parents: Just in case your children don't have anything to talk about in therapy, here's something you might want to consider:Dominic Deville rents himself out as an "evil birthday clown" who leaves scary notes for your children, warning them that they're being watched and that they'll soon be attacked. At the end of a terrifying week, your child will indeed be attacked. Deville, wearing a freaky clown mask, will smash a cake into your child's face, Metro reported. Deville is capitalizing on what has become a mainstay for all circus-going kids: the fear of clowns. You may think Stephen King's "It" was scary, but Deville will keep you shaking in your big, red floppy shoes. http://www.huffingto...?ref=weird-news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+and-then Posted May 9, 2012 #7 Share Posted May 9, 2012 hope theyve saved up money for the years of therapy that their child will need in the future No doubt! I have a strong, well adjusted nephew of 25 who is scared SPITLESS of "Chucky" dolls. His sisters scared him with one as a kid..... This young man is as fearless as they come in every other area of his life but it's like a phobia for him. He will NOT be around one of those dolls.

DoesntReallyLike Posted May 9, 2012 #8 Share Posted May 9, 2012 If your child is claustrophobic, you can lock them in a closet. That would be pretty hilarious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lilly Posted May 10, 2012 #12 Share Posted May 10, 2012 IMO the 'child' in question should be at least 16 years old. Young kids should not be subjected to a form of humour they might not understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bendy Demon Posted May 20, 2012 #14 Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) So..paying someone to leave threatening notes to someone is supposed to be "funny" yet by all intents and purposes, it would otherwise be a crime regardless of intent? Bizarre. I fail to see how this sort of twistedness would be funny. Certainly not to the person involved, this is clearly only for the "entertainment" of the "adults". How is stalking anyone now considered "funny"?? What a peculiar society. If someone did this to another, making threats -baseless or not- they'd be in trouble in a split second and their defense of "I was only kidding" won't cut it. Sorry, I see nothing funny about this. (actually, I'm not sorry one bit!) Edited May 20, 2012 by Ryu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranormalcy Posted May 21, 2012 #18 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Coulrophobia is a very real and clinically recognized condition, but still not fully understood. Issue 1 is, you would HOPE the parents know whether or not their child has a fear of clowns, and NOT to do this, as it can cause very real trauma in someone with the condition (as a moderator for an anti-clown site, I saw people who could not open forum threads with pictures of clowns in them because they started to have panic attacks). Issue 2 is, as noted, this fear is still not understood but can produce traumatic, lifelong issues, and it is possible a shocking enough confrontation like this could be responsible for the creation of such a phobia, out of thin air, making the parent directly responsible. This is bad all around, on the part of parents and the clown doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickian Posted May 21, 2012 #19 Share Posted May 21, 2012 No doubt! I have a strong, well adjusted nephew of 25 who is scared SPITLESS of "Chucky" dolls. His sisters scared him with one as a kid..... This young man is as fearless as they come in every other area of his life but it's like a phobia for him. He will NOT be around one of those dolls. I happen to a 25 year old who was terrified of Chucky as a kid. Fortunately I got over it in my teens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Tumbleweed Posted May 21, 2012 #20 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I would never entertain a child this way but for an adult it could be fun entertainment as long as the demented clown gave clues that it was a joke while sending messages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taun Posted May 23, 2012 #21 Share Posted May 23, 2012 If this clown had 'stalked' me or any of my sisters (I had 5 of them) when we were kids... The Clown would have needed therapy... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(3 sisters and a brother). We once had a poltergeist who would yell at us, "Will you make less noise, fgs?". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is just the point, it isn't for the child's "enjoyment" at all. It is all for the "pleasure" of the ones who set up this whole clown thing. They are the ones who will screech hysterically with laughter at the person who gets stalked then has a cake smashed in his/her face. The joke is only funny if everyone can laugh.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
