[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 557680, member: 3419"] Welcome, and so sorry you had to find us, but glad that you did. She is probably bipolar, since it's in the family, but she's had other issues as a kid, or clearly, you wouldn't be raising her. She needs intensive work and I don't know how you're going to get it. Sometimes, getting the law involved helps to force treatment. Other times, it doesn't. I am so sorry about the dog. OMG, how awful. I don't know why our kids so this, except that they're probably still ramped up from whatever caused it in the first place and still have to get it out of their systems. And of course, a lot of them are so impulsive, they don't "get it" until years later. She may have still been manic (if she is bipolar) when she went for the dog's other leg. Without more info and history, I don't know if she's just still in that mindset, where she was on a roll and couldn't stop herself, or if she was really intending to do something bad and painful to another creature. I mean, she certainly saw the results of the first act, and maybe because of all the brouhaha, the chaos was actually fufilling in some way. Wish I had an answer. For your granddaughter, my son, and everyone here. It's an age-old question. [/QUOTE]
