[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 726055, member: 1550"] You are in a difficult and touchy situation and I feel for you. Please don't take my words as criticism of you...this is out of your hands. You are not the cause. I have had a very, for lack of a better word, dangerous child. My advice to you is meant with the best for both of you; for ALL of you. Take it or leave it. First off, please protect her from herself and don't own any pets. I would also not leave her alone with her siblings. I have heard of kids that young acting like this, and saw it once, but in my own experience all of them had been older adopted kids from abuse situations and they all had reactive attachment disorder, which is a form of child psychopathy. On top of cruelty to animals, liking fire, and inappropriate potty habits are also red flags. Often sexual acting out too. I have no degree, but I did do foster care and adopted a very dangerous child who was 11. He had to leave at 13 and had killed two dogs and molested our two babies. We had to recover and did but he never came back. This does not mean your daughter will escalate to that, but keep a strong guard up and watch her all the time. Because of my experience, my first thought in situations like this are to get good evaluations and help, but first off protect any possible victims while you wait to see what is wrong with the person acting out. It is our duty. If she plays outside with other kids, you have to go out too to watch. Or keep her in. My boy was once strangling a neighbor cat, but my daughter caught him so he let go. Still, my younger kids never once told us how he scared them and what he did until he left. He threatened to burn us all if they told and said he was the Devil. We don't even believe in a Devil, nor talked about one to the littles, but he made them believe there was a Devil and that it was him. I do believe DNA is a big factor in our children's makeup. She is young. Maybe it can be undone. Until then no pets and don't leave her alone ever with younger kids or vulnerable kids. It is so sad you are in this situation and it's not your fault, but you do have a responsibility to keep other kids and animals safe from her. I hope you can get a thorough, accurate evaluation soon. Did she have chaos and many different major caregivers when she was an infant? Foster Care? A time when you couldn't care for her? Anything odd about her birth? Can you keep this biological father from her all the time? Have younger kids locked in their rooms at night. Dangerous kids tend to do their wost at night, while we sleep. Make sure she can't access younger kids at night ever. Love and hugs. And empathy. [/QUOTE]
