my heart goes out to you exponentially! it is so hard to have a child who is acting out in ways that we as parents can’t wrap our minds around. if the therapist she has been seeing isn’t aware of what has happened, please be sure to tell them. generally when a living creature is involved that a child tries to harm, that’s a signal that in patient intensive therapy is likely needed. they can run a battery of tests as well to rule out any physical medical anomalies, including mental health issues. it is tough right now due to covid to get proper hospitalization care, however with the help of their therapist and this being considered a bit of an emergency, that is certainly your best route.

It’s time for mental healthcare. Use the resources that are available to you. First step is to identify what you’re dealing with before jumping to conclusions. Most of the time this is neurological and not them just making bad choices. Start with your family doctor and get a referral from them.

Does she have a diagnosis? Therapy won’t help without knowing what you are fighting. It sounds like a personality disorder. You need to get a diagnosis while she is young so you can force treatment before she is old enough to refuse. And you need to do it before it gets to the point the law takes over.

I went through this with my daughter trying to harm herself and her little brother because her brother needs a lot more help than her. this was a year ago but they kept her 2 weeks at the hospital until they seen a improvement in her medications. It sounds like she needs her meds reevaluated and another hospital stay tbh. She should’ve been discharged with a psychiatrist and a psychologist not just any therapist so it’s definitely time to find a new one to get her help before it’s to late! She definitely has something else going on like paranoid personality disorder, maniac bipolar, or far more serious than that! U are her mom and u can not take no for a answer! Sounds like she can also use a neuro scan that’s used specifically in diagnosing these issues so that would be my next step… best of luck mama it’s hard but don’t give up

She isn’t apologizing because her mental health is not allowing her to see her action the same as you see it. You need to communicate on behalf of your daughter with her pediatrician. Therapy and the pediatrician are great resources but your daughter needs a psychologist who specializes in youth. Please get her help she is probably just as terrified of herself as you are of her !

As a person who has been through sexual abuse by a teacher, a peer & family at a young age, you really need to be cautious of her surroundings as in who is she around & when does she act out. Are there any other signs besides just “the bad” when did you see the sudden change? Compare her personality & behavior before the change & to now. A lot of those things will be a telltale sign that she has possibly experience some abuse. I was so scared to tell anyone anything every time stuff happened to me & I felt so dirty & uncomfortable & like it was my fault something I was doing wrong to warrant 3 different people to do things to me. I never wanted to talk about it. It put me in a depression state where I attempted suicide several times all around 12/13yrs old. I had a lot of anxiety bc of what was happening & keeping to myself. Even if you don’t suspect the husband or anyone else for that matter even women you should still stay on high alert & see if she can confide in someone & make sure she is & feels protected. Hope this helps.

My bonus son is 12 and he started doing mean things that would hurt our dogs around 10.He has ADHD and defiance disorder.He also never says sorry and doesn’t seemed bothered when he does things that hurt others or the animals…It’s scary to think your child could be one of the those that you watch on tv.Its not easy but you have to tell yourself if ignoring the signs and trying to make excuses for them really helping them or is it hurting them and making it worse?Your child needs you to get them the help they need because they are just kids and clearly are not capable of making good changing on thier own.Dont be scared to punish her she needs the consequences.I would have her evaluated and put in an inpatient program.Shes not understanding how she’s making others feel when she’s doing hurtful things so you both need to express your feelings to her on everything good and bad…If she wants something have her earn it don’t give her anything except necessities unless it’s earned in some way…Also have her talk about her feelings good and bad as well do this everyday start off small then let more and more info out.Things take time so don’t stop doing things because it’s not working after a week.With kids like this everything takes time to see results.Put cameras up,Lock your door when your aslepp.Make sure all knives and anything that can be used to hurt herself or others are locked up.NEVER LEAVE HER ALONE WITH THE DOG OR ANYONE THAT SHE CAN HURT.You have to unfortunately do things like this because you just don’t know what’s going on.If something happens like this or something else real bad take her for a 72 hour hold.DONT FEEL BAD ABOUT DOING ANY OF THE THINGS YOU NEED TO YOUR HELPING HER BY DOUNG IT.YOUR NOT ALONE IN THIS FIGHT YOU GOT THIS…PRAYING FOR YOU ALL

I am so very sorry you and your family are going through this. This is NOT your fault and there is nothing that could’ve been done to prevent this. Quite honestly it sounds like psychopathic behavior and she definitely needs to be in some sort of facility under 24 hour physician care - atleast until they have determined what is going on and until they have deemed her safe and no longer a danger to herself or anyone else. If she is still with you I would hide any and all potentially dangerous objects/medications etc. I would also keep a private journal of her daily behaviors to potentially establish a pattern. The more that you document the easier it will be for her doctors. Lastly, make sure you notify her school counselor. Good luck mama

Children retaliate the best way they no how to when they don’t get their way … But acting out in negative ways is usually a way to get your attention of something bigger usally going on!!! Has someone she been close to pass away or are u spending more time at work??? Something that seams small to us adults can be big for children and us not realize it !!! Our family has went through similar … But ours was resolved with communication and repeating and who she was hanging with and who we let her see … But u as a mother has a feeling that something is off not right (without someone else helping influencing those feelings) then I would start with her pediatrician !! But children have poor impulse control and that might be some of it too !! (Ex…if someone tells one that they can’t buy something one start getting upset and cussing and saying bad things and hitting and slamming doors)

Instead of everyone bashing this lady, we should be lifting her up. I know all too well, trying to get the right help for my child and nothing and no one seems to have the answer or helping to find the solution. This mother sounds like she is trying everything she can think of and is reaching out to other moms who may have experienced the same situation with their child to see what worked for them. She is making sure there is something she isn’t missing or has not thought of. I know this is an extremely dangerous and unimaginable thing for her and her family to be going through. With that being said, there have been often times that mothers do often have the answers all from trial and error. This mother is probably dealing with a great deal of anxiety and depression, due to this situation and her mind is probably in a fog. Please everyone be kind; send only positive vibes her way. Put yourself in her shoes, would you want to hear some of the comments you are making? I know I wouldn’t. Everyone have a blessed day!

Two questions. Did you drink while pregnant and could this be fetal alcohol? Or when she was a baby did something traumatic and painful happen where she could have developed attachment issues? Was she in the NICU a long time? Have some sort of hospital stay after as an infant where you weren’t there? Did she have multiple caregivers as an infant? That would need a different therapy than normal. Good luck.
You said yourself therapy isn’t helping. That’s obvious. You need to be doing a lot more than therapy. She needs to be sent to stay at a treatment facility. If she’s willing to kill her pet, what’s stopping her from doing it to you or someone else?

I’m so sorry your family has to go through this. Therapy is definitely a great plan to start. You said it’s not working, please find another therapist. For me personally, I had to see a handful before clicking with the right one. Their are also programs at psychiatric hospitals, either inpatient or out. I know right now it’s difficult with covid, but be pushy. I have the feeling a therapist is needed daily. A psychiatrist is best for diagnosing disorders and maintaining medication but psychologists are better for talking, in my personal experience. 2 working together would be very beneficial.

Sounds like you need to accept your child and place her in a home that has children same as her. If you hurt animals you will hurt humans. You are the best one to speak for her. And it’s your duty as mother to gain the help she needs. Not every thing can be explained when someone is ill. Mental illness is complicated but with love and understanding and help she can make great strides. Also punishment yelling and grounding don’t work for the who have Mental illness and they don’t understand what you are punishing them about. This is why being in surroundings same as she will be beneficial. Look in to a group home that has long term help.
I’m sure this sound straight frightening but next thing you will trying to figure out is why she killed a friend’s child or something crazy out of left field that you would never think she would do. This is where is starts. So as mom start with the Dr’s asap. It will help all!!

Schizophrenia is a person who does not have the ability to think feel or behave clearly . If they diagnose her with some for of that then you will have to fight to get her the right therapy and medication . You have to be a strong person to get through the system but its a start or lose your marriage by not trying to get her the correct diagnose . That is a clear sign of something medically wrong in her brain causing this and that is scary not getting her the PROPER HELP SHE DESPERATLEY NEEDS . Good luck.

Beki Davis- I would answer you, but I can’t find the post???
This is a very bad sign. You need to get her committed so she can get proper help while keeping her and everyone around her safe. Its great that she’s getting therapy, but she needs more intensive care. Better now than later. If she gets the help she needs now, she has a chance at living a decent life. If you wait, and she does something she can’t take back, her life will never be the same. Im not saying abandon her, because I’m sure that’s how it sounds, but you can love your child and support her while putting her in a facility that will help her. What if next time a friend upsets her and she stabs the friend? That would be catastrophic for both children as well as all the parents involved. So please seek help where she is out of your home, getting the help she needs while keeping her safe. Im sorry you’re going through this and I hope everything works out for you.

I agree with others. She needs to see a psychiatrist and get a proper mental
Evaluation for diagnosis and the form of help she needs. It sounds like she is potentially unsafe to others and possibly could be to herself. Every parents nightmare Eid not being able to help out children but sometimes we must face that the best form of help is within someone else’s hands. Sounds like she needs some time in a home that can give her what she needs and keep others safe until there are more answers. Doesn’t mean it has to be forever but at least temporary. With our the proper help she will continue to worsen and the behaviors may become more damaging and frequent. My heart goes out to all of you but please consider what advice you are being given from people that don’t know every detail and are the outside looking in.

So none of what I’m going to say is meant to be judgmental so please don’t take offense. Your daughter has displaced hostility and if she’s hurting the dog or family members that’s a very big concern. She’s suffering from mental illness and needs treatment asap before she does something fatal. I don’t mean therapy I’m mean a treatment center, a psychiatrist and medication. This is a tough admission for parents and often delays the necessary treatment for the individual with the condition and the family members that are suffering along with that person. Please please reach out to her pediatrician asap and seek a referral for a psychiatrist. This will be the best thing to do for everyone. I wish you the best of luck

I have the same problem with my son. Sadly he has killed our chickens, rabbits and a cat. I had to lock the rest of them in their coop to protect them. Now my son is threatening to kill us. He’s told us how and when. He’s even told us who he’s killing first.
We have had a very hard time getting help with him in our state. He has a disability so all they do is baker act him and send him home in less than 24 hours. He violently hurts us and his siblings, but we feel they’re forcing us to take his abuse.
We are gathering documentation of everything and then we are petitioning the judge to ask for help. We are told he’s the only one who can help us. Keep documentation and photos for everything. I’m sure you will need it. Good luck from Florida.

For one, the people saying “sleep with eye open” “get the child out”. That’s ignorant to even say due to a child of a serious medical condition and needs help. The last thing you want to do is make her feel like she’s alone, like she has no one. Understanding it’s very scary but you still can’t let someone feel less about themselves because they can’t control it.
This was happening to a friend of ours child. Once the therapist heard what had happened they got them a specialist. Their child had to be evaluated and help with what was going on. They found the right medicines to balance out. I hope you find the right people to help her out:pray:

I would honestly be seeking psychiatric help. If it were me, I would be looking into an inpatient stay so these things can be dug into deeper, therapy is in place and along with it and figure out safety plans etc. This will help everyone as a whole. I have gone to inpatient for my bipolar and honestly is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I know many others as well this has helped—whom which have received a proper diagnosis as well. Hang in there—and get the help she needs.

Your daughters behaviour is not your fault. Some kids are born that way and those that say that she needs special help are absolutely correct. Check her into a psychiatric hospital for kids her age. It is still possible to get her on a better path, but you have to understand the problem first and only professionals can do that and help you understand her.
