[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 251115, member: 1550"] Hi there. Welcome to the board. First off, I wouldn't even pay passing attention to maturbation. All kids masturbate, whether or not we see them doing it, and there's nothing wrong with it. I agree with not paying attention to what any religion might say about it--there are bigger fish to fry right now. in my opinion you are overreacting to her touching herself and so is the school. Since she was sexually abused I'd focus my attention on getting her very specific therapy for kids who suffered this violation. Her meth mom didn't do squat to help her. Ane she may well have been exposed to drugs in utero, but that doesn't cause seuxally acting out. Frankly, if she isn't acting out on others, she's not really sexually acting out. I'm not quite sure why you're worried about discharge on her panties. I think that's normal for girls her age. Perhaps you need to find out what is normal/abnormal as children get older, although I have no doubt that her lifestyle has given her MANY problems and that she needs MUCH MUCH very specific help. I live in a small town too. We had to travel over an hour to get help when my kids were molested by an older foster child, but it was well worth the trek. The results have been great. Next I'd take her to a neuropsychologist for a complete evaluation. This child is going to be very high maintenance for reasons that are not her fault. She is not acting strangely for a child with her background. You may want to post a signature like I did below. That will give us an overview of your family. Also, please realize that if substance abuse is in the family, the girl will have a higher risk of having a mood disorder since so many people abuse drugs due to mental illness. This girl has the cards stacked against her, and she is lucky to have you to try to help her. [/QUOTE]
