[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 608124, member: 1550"] Ok. We are the parents of these kids you call "demons." You are wrong. Since she was always this way, she was born wired differently and should probably be evaluated and treated. Maybe she has a form of autism or some other childhood disorder. NO CHILD IS BORN BAD! by the way, shame on your daughter for slapping a five year old. I don't care what this child did. She is disordered and slapping is not appropriate. This is not her child or your child. Your sister may choose to listen to you or disregard your advice. That is the ONLY advice you should give her. I hope you are NOT telling her that she is a deficient parent who is "spoiling" her child...we have all heard that and it's a load of rot. These differently wired kids do not respond to normal parenting methods and you could not have done better with this child than your sister is. What happened to your sister would not have anything to do with her daughter unless she abused her daughter because of it, but I'm getting a strong "differently wired neurologically" vibe here. If you sister will not have her daughter evaluated, perhaps you should detach from them a bit and go on with your own life. This isn't going to be bettered by labeling her a demon child or by slapping her or by acting like she is crazy. She is not crazy, but she does need an evaluation and serious interventions. Since you can't control what her parents do, it is maybe best to stay away. I am assuming sister is not interested in taking her daughter for an evaluation. Even if she does, this child is going to be a work in progress and will not behave like other kids do around you or anyone for probably several years or longer. She must know what you think of her. It isn't good for her or for you. Or your sister. I hope to see your sister here. We could help her with suggestions and resources. Or maybe her father. Either one would be good. Although your intentions may be good, I don't think you are looking at your niece the way she really is...and perhaps you are blaming your sister for your niece's behavior. All I can say is, please...your sister doesn't need it. She must feel badly enough. All of us have. If my seventeen year old daughter slapped a little kid for ANY reason whatsoever, life as she knew it would be over. But she wouldn't. She has an autistic brother so she is understanding. Although my son was never that wild, he was 'weird' because spectrum kids do strange things. I am thinking probably "spectrum" for your niece, but she needs to be evaluated. Spectrum kids CAN be quite violent too until they have t he right interventions and learn how to socialize normally. The "demon" hits me wrong. Sorry about that, but you may have once said that about my son. [/QUOTE]
