What Did Bobby's Mother Do To Him????


Always wondered what really happened. The demon claims the kid drowned himself to get away from Mommy.
Was it abuse, or just a normal kid not liking rules set out by the mother. Was she just too protective and the kid took it as being mean?
So many unanswered questions but no answers...

I think she was a bad tempered woman who was nasty.

I think she probably abused Bobby physically and verbally because he asked his Mom "Have I always been a good boy?" And then when they were playing hide and seek, she screamed "Bobby, STOP IT!" so he said "That's the way you used to talk to me." That led me to believe that his mother got mad at him frequently for no good reason so she hit him and yelled at him a lot and he killed himself to get away from her.

Come, fly the teeth of the wind. Share my wings.

I'm assuming that the mother was abusive and overbearing.

It's enough that he'd want to send a hellish imp from beyond the grave to exact revenge on her.
