[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 10616, member: 805"] Hi Paula, I haven't been anywhere near close to what you are dealing with here. But I can tell you the two things I would do right away (and probably what would automatically happen here in the states). First of all, I would go through my house and remove all scissors, knives, and other such implements. They need to stay locked up. Hopefully someone else will come along here shortly as I know other members have had to do this. I would also have called my son's doctor (therapist or psychiatrist) immediately upon arriving home. Side note - had this happened here in the states, your son would have probably been sent to a phospital straight after being sewn up. It needs to be made clear whether this was a true attempt to end his life (an awful thought for such young a child) or just curiosity. Either way, it is extrememly disturbing and a he needs to speak with a professional. The third thing I would do is not let my younger child be alone, for even seconds, with my older child. No compromise on this in my book. Those would be my first three reactions - hide the sharp stuff (and I know there is no preventing someone from hurting themselves but you may make it harder), get him to a doctor fast, and keep your 2 year old in your sights at all times. Paula, I'm so incredibly sorry that this happened to you and your son. I can only imagine how afraid you were. It must have also been disturbing to hear him laughing. I hope you are able to get some help for him quickly. Your little boy needs intervention really fast, in my opinion. Lots of hugs and prayers too. Sharon [/QUOTE]
