[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 267312, member: 2423"] Colleen, I personally don't think we can possibly judge whether your difficult child 2 knew or didn't know how dangerous his actions were toward your niece. As Marg pointed out, he's 11, but difficult children are typically considered 30 percent younger than their chronological age. Having said that, I would strongly recommend seeking professional advice about the situation from someone who knows your difficult child 2 personally. Is a child psychiatrist involved? How about a therapist? If so, both should be consulted to see how the situation should be interpreted and what should be done to handle it. I also agree with the recommendation to have him evaluated by a neuropsycologist if you haven't already taken that step. Neuropsychologists can be found at children's and university teaching hospitals. [/QUOTE]
