VoicesFri, Aug 7th 2009My son has just turned 10 and has told me he hears voices in his head and some times he can see them and talks to them. They tell him to be bold and do naughty things. They have even told him to hurt myself and my partner and when he tells them no they say they will hurt him. He only sees them at night because they wear black clothes but he hears them during the day. I'm really worried and don't know what to do.
