[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 267352, member: 1550"] in my opinion only (and take all of them for what they're worth)...at 11, even if he is immature he knows that smothering somebody, especially a little person, can lead to death. in my opinion again I believe most five year olds know that. If he does this behavior, in my opinion once again :happy: he truly needs a re-evaluation and I suspect a neuropsychologist is best. He may not just have a psychiatric problem...there might be more to it and he should be tested on all fronts. I had all sorts of problems as a child and would, in this day and age, probably have been diagnosed with mood disorder/ADHD/ODD/ABCD/you name it...lol. I was so immature at 12 that my preferred entertainment was still dolls and playing HOuse and I had no interest in boys. In spite of that, I knew very well what would hurt or kill somebody. If he DOESN'T realize that, by age 11 (or even age 6), then I think that could even be a bigger problem than if he does. You're lucky he did it to a family member's child and not somebody else. To be honest, if a child had tried to do that to my five year old, I may well have called the police or CPS no matter what the child's diagnosis is. My point is, this could turn ugly if he does it again, to a stranger. I would take it very seriously. in my opinion it's better to be safe than sorry. Some medications can make kids more violent, if they are misdiagnosed. At any rate, I think it's best to get a fresh look at your child...from somebody with a different type of diagnostic style. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
