Yesterday I caught her in the orchard stuffing her mouth and pockets with 6 month old rotting apples. (How she finds them, she must be digging them up?
Today we found she'd taken Blacksmith's earbuds, right off his backpack, on Sunday when she was last sweeping the floor by there.
Tuesday I have the Intake evaluation appointment with the county Mental Health office. Frankly at this point I don't feel entirely safe. It's not an immediate and direct physical danger kind of situation, but her tantrums are at the point where I either let her hurt me, or I have to control her tantrums physically (so no other kids get hurt, so nothing gets broken, so she doesn't get hurt or put herself in danger, or get the neighbors calling the sheriff because of the screaming) which means either I end up with bruises and bites or she ends up triggering a mandated report because of her comments about the incident. It's happened 3 times in the last 12 months, and while so far everything's had no bad outcomes, I figure it's only a matter of time, and the odds, before someone gets in serious trouble.
