[QUOTE="Steely, post: 163293, member: 3301"] Still a little confused about who is who, so it would be helpful for to do a signature so we know the ages of each child, diagnosis, and medications, etc. Bi-polar that is severe and untreated has hyper sexuality as a major component of it. When my son was in phopsh when he was 6, there was a 5 year old that was completely hyper sexual, and it was really concerning. However once his mania was brought under control by mood stabilizer medications, the hyper sexuality stopped. There could really only be 2 reasons he is doing this - a chemical imbalance in his brain, that could be treated through medications - or he is repeating some abuse that happened to him - or both. The urge to repeat sexual behaviors is very, very common in kids who have been abused themselves. It can become almost a compulsion, unless they are able to work through their trauma in a healthy way - thus setting themselves up for a future pattern a sexual predator. You may not know of the abuse, many children suppress it, or refuse to tell others about. At this point I would say this is such a serious situation for potential future ramifications, that I would be put him in a phoshp or short term Residential Treatment Center (RTC) ASAP. I think that he immediately needs to get a full neuro-pscyh work up - therapy every day - medications if appropriate to see if you can stop this behavior in it's tracks. in my opinion, intervention should be immediate, because every day this behavior continues, it gets more ingrained in his head as a lifestyle or coping mechanism. Good luck, let us know what you decide, and we are here for you. [/QUOTE]
