The socially awkward son who allegedly snapped and fatally stabbed his mom in ritzy Scarsdale was disturbingly \u201coff and weird\u201d since grade school, a former classmate revealed.<\/p>\n

A Chester Green, now 26, displayed creepy behavior \u2014 including an obsession with knives \u2014 long past the age it could be dismissed as a passing phase, his elementary school classmate exclusively told The Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe definitely had some other kids that were a little off, but as we got to middle school, and grew out of some elementary school behaviors, nobody talked about violence the way he did,\u201d the classmate said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe would literally come up to people at recess and just scream in their faces \u2013 he had this super high pitched, loud scream \u2013 and then he would just walk away. His behavior definitely stood out compared to other people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Green allegedly slaughtered his mother Marian Green, 71, a beloved Scarsdale community advocate, in their $2.5 million home this week, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

The heinous killing \u2014 which took place sometime between Sunday and Tuesday \u2014 was the first homicide in a decade in Scarsdale, a Westchester County enclave that\u2019s the nation\u2019s wealthiest suburb.<\/p>\n

Marian Green\u2019s shocked friends said she struggled for years to find Chester a productive path through life, encouraging him to pursue a burgeoning talent in blacksmithing. <\/p>\n

She also took him to political and community meetings, hoping to spark an interest in areas where she \u2014 a staunch advocate for disabled people and special needs children who acted as the chair of the village\u2019s Advisory Council for People with Disabilities \u2014 shined, friends said.<\/p>\n

But the classmate painted a portrait of Chester Green as a disturbed bad seed from a young age.<\/p>\n

\u201cKids can be crazy and grow out of it, of course, but he was known to be loud and always screaming and saying mean things,\u201d the classmate said. \u201cWe were probably eight years old and he was calling me a Nazi, which he got in trouble for.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing with Chester, we all knew he was very off and weird, and just didn\u2019t act right,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The classmate recalled carpooling with Green when they were roughly 13 to an ice skating lesson, where he smacked her much-younger sister\u2019s hand, causing it to swell.<\/p>\n

She said the carpooling stopped. <\/p>\n

At another point in elementary school, the classmate said Green made a chilling threat against her family.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t remember this was so long ago, but (my mother) told me that I came home crying because he told me he was gonna murder my whole family,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The news that Green stood accused of murdering his mother unfortunately didn\u2019t come as a surprise.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we first saw in the news that a woman had been found dead in that house, we all assumed it was him because he\u2019s always been insane,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had a hobby where he was really interested in swords or knives or something, and it was creepy because he would threaten people and say mean things. The fact that he was interested in sharp objects was very scary, especially seeing what happened now.\u201d<\/p>\n
