[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 759515, member: 1233"] The antibiotics are the cause of the yeast infections. The pediatrician probably has not heard of any of her problems because the mom doesn't tell him anything. I would keep calling CPS on her mother. Or, I might not if I decided it was best for the child to not be at my house due to the risk to my other child. I would sit down and be honest with my husband. If his child isn't going to be properly cared for, you don't want her there when her father isn't there to parent her. I would NOT take responsibility for her EVER if I was the only one with her and another child. I had a son who constantly hurt his little sister. Never his little brother, just his sister. It went on for over a decade. When they were little, I had to take my daughter with me every single time I went to the bathroom for YEARS. If I didn't, she was bruised and/or bloody when I came out. My husband took our son into the bathroom if he was alone with the kids. We made the kid stand behind the shower curtain, and it helped keep everyone marginally safe. So I understand the problem more than you think. I would insist on some further evaluation if it was my child. If my spouse would not make his child a priority, he could see the child elsewhere. It honestly sounds like some sort of fetal alcohol to me. Either full on Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, or the worse and harder to diagnose fetal alcohol effects. One thing with either of these is that the brain does not develop properly. It has literal holes in it from the impact of the alcohol on the fetus. It can be super hard to properly diagnose and usually pediatricians are bad at diagnosing this type of problem. If you decide to go ahead with testing, look for a neuropsychologist. Children's hospitals usually have them. It can take months to get an appointment, so be prepared for a lengthy wait - 6 months or more is pretty typical. This child's actual parents need to do more for her. You do not. In fact, you need to actively work to protect your other child from her. If that means she doesn't come to your house any longer, that is what is needed. It sounds harsh, but allowing her to hurt your other child is not okay. And you should not be doing more than her parents are. [/QUOTE]
