A 5th grader in Sacramento, Calif., allegedly grabbed a pair of scissors and threatened other classmates this week.
Students in the combined 5th and 6th grade classroom at John Sloat Elementary School said the girl told them she wanted to sell her soul to the devil.
Some parents were upset that school officials did not notify them of the incident until after school. “To not be notified all day until 6:30 at night last that was real upsetting,” said Antonio Farinias. “Because when I picked up my kids from school they were in tears.”
The girl was sent to the office Thursday for allegedly threatening classmates in a classroom and in a bathroom
A 6-year-old girl hiding in a bathroom stall heard the 6th grader’s bizarre claims. “She said she kept on telling them ‘I’m the devil and he’s the devil too. We here to kill people,’” the girl’s grandmother told CBS.
Students say the girl claimed to be a member of the secret-society The Illuminati and drew both Illiminati symbols and 666 on the bathroom wall.
One parent told CBS, the girl said she “sold her soul to the devil and she had a list of kids she wanted to kill, and on that list was my son’s name.”
Students said her outburst went on for at least an hour, while their teacher told them to ignore the girl, who he said was just trying to get attention.
6th grade Zionni Ibarra was too upset to ignore her. “She said she wanted to sell her soul to the devil,” Ibarra said. “And she said she’ll kill everybody.”
“Everybody just started crying because they were scared that they were going to die that day,” 6th grader Elizabeth Martinez added.
The girl took a pair of scissors, witnesses said, and attacked another student.
“I seen her try to cut herself and draw blood,” 5th grader Xavier Monti explained. “But then she got up and tried to stab another girl a seat away from her.”
At some point the girl was taken to the office. Parents were called Thursday evening and students were sent home with a letter Friday giving school official’s version of events.
“Authorities are investigating a disturbance inside a John Sloat Elementary School classroom [Thursday]”, said Gabe Ross, Sacramento City Unified School District Chief Communications Officer, in a statement. “The school responded immediately and all students were safe. The incident did not involve weapons and no one was physically harmed. Counseling and other resources have been made available to all John Sloat students today and will continue to be available as needed.”
“There was a weapon involved. It was a pair of scissors,” Farinias said. “So it shocks me to see there are false statements in here knowing otherwise what happened at school yesterday.”
Some parents believe the girl should have been removed from the class sooner.
“They should have stopped it right away,” said Aime Martinez. “And not let her scare them more.”
“With all the stuff going on in school, what does it take for a child to show you something is wrong and for her to follow through with what she says she is going to do?” Farinias asked.
Other parents were happy with the school’s response. “[Taking care of the issue] was more important than us being notified,” said Mary Walters. “Yeah, we got notified late, and I’m gonna go with that, but our children were safe, and they made sure our children were safe, and that’s what was important.”
The cause of the girl’s outburst has not been reported.
“You never know what to tell your kids when they come home telling you ‘hey this happened, that happened,’ and there’s different rumors, and you’re like ‘which one do I believe? What really happened?'” said parent Rebecca Fox. “[The school district] can’t tell you what really happened, you have all these questions and worry and wonder with your kids.”

Looks like I’m the only one here with a bead on what’s really going on. It’s not the Craft. It’s not television. It’s not pop culture (though pop culture certainly isn’t good).
This little girl is living in a home where there is ritualistic abuse going on. To laugh at this girl could have been deadly. No, we shouldn’t fear. But you don’t ignore it when a 10-11 year old is talking about being dedicated to satan and a member of the Illuminati.
My God. Some of you people think the Illuminati is nothing more than a tv show. Or a freaking game of cards. Oblivious to what goes on around you. This shit is more real than most of your lives. This is a serious situation. This child needs to be removed from the home until a full investigation can be done.
Problem is, so many people in that process are on payroll so this little one has likely no chance but for the Grace and Mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ. I pray she can escape and get the inner healing she needs. As well as the psychological problems that are going to come along with this.
to sum all of that up in two words….demonic influence.
EXACTLY! And to the Nth degree as well!
This child needs to be placed in a hospital immediately and kept there for intense observation and therapy for a long time.
This didn’t happen over night.
Sorry Elaine I cannot support this thought. As a child I knew many kids who “experimented” with witch craft and some of those also spoke like this. Though they never actually did such a thing. I considered it in passing, instead I grew up and joined the military. I did not know George Bush or I might have asked him.
Sounds like some Mayan descendant is just living her roots. They are never too far from the blood loving savages they are.
This is what happens when the Media glorifies evil on television with television shows about Vampires and Fay and all that other crap. The CW network thrives on that crap. The Sci Fi channels “Being Human” is another.
hmmm…mention “demonism” in america, and ppl yawn lol. but the moment a little girl is being dragged out of a school drenched in blood and smiling about it, then the whole world is supposed to stop and look at the travesty that happened due to demonic influence…lol, denial is a mother….
and yes, i know it didnt happen…but it COULD just as easily had.
Mention Satan in America and everybody has hysteria, it’s pathetic. The girl obviously has trouble at home and is an attention seeker, and she knows what buttons to press. The correct procedure would be to to either laugh your head off at her, or get her to see the head quickly and send her home for the day, but no, FEAR adds fuel to the fire giving the girl exactly what she wanted in the first place, mega attention.
The woman reporter is on to it. She should be in the field.
This is training gone awry. They shouldn’t have let it go on as long as it did. She could have killed someone quite easily as they are trained to kill by that age. She just did not respond to the training the way it was theorized that she would or were expecting. If there is ever a case to remove a child from the home, this is one. Kids don’t just come up with that shit at random. Something is going on in that house. She definitely needs some deprogramming followed up by some deliverance. She could be very valuable in finding out who they are.
