I will give you a story, still going on today, this isn't past history, the story is true, sad, scary, horrible, disgusting, and tragic as it seems, but true, very true. I will give you just the facts, with nothing more added to it (like names, locations, how I know them, and that type of stuff). Tell me what you think, tell me how you would handle it, tell me what you would do...
There is a four year old little boy who has been molested by his father since infancy (believed since infancy), the father and mother are divorced, and this just came to light about six months ago. The child has expressed what has taken place to four court appointed child counselors, in full detail, the judge determined that the father will have monitored visitation rights and if all goes will he will resume partial custody. On the criminal side of things, the grand jury threw the case out due to insufficient evidence, although the prosecutor is collecting more recent child interviews to take the case back before the Grand Jury, that hasn't been done yet. Be praying the Grand Jury decides to hear the case and the case goes to criminal court.
As far as the mother and grandparents of the child, they all live together, the child has displayed that he has a temper and authority issues (which go uncorrected), the child doesn't openly mention what he has gone through, he ignores it, but he does express hatred towards his father, he says things like "I'm gonna kill him", "I'm going to bury my father", and he will act these things out with toys and such. The child eats his clothes, this is what lead the mother to question why, and ask him "what's wrong", which lead to the discovery of what his father did.
Recently (as of yesterday) the boy has been acting out, more agressively, showing more severe anger and hatred towards everything and everyone.
In the morning he, he was upset about the breakfast situation and told his grandmother in a low, gutteral voice (she has never heard before in her life), that "If you don't get me the cereal I want I will cut your hands off".
Later in the day he threw a fit, and took a pair of scissors and stabbed holes in his new shirt, because he was mad.
Later, he spoke once again in the low voice (only the second time they have ever heard him use it) and threatened bodily harm on the grandmother and his mother. Reasons, unknown to me.
That evening, as they do most evenings for the past year, they were watching the large toad frog in their back yard, they watch him catch bugs and hop around and have been doing this for like I said, well over a year. The boy took up his play sword, walked outside, and beat the frog until there was nothing left, came back in, put his sword away, and acted like nothing had happened.
Now you are probably wondering, why are you telling us this story, why are we even reading this? For a few reasons, I want to know if my mind is right when giving advice concerning this situation and I wanted to honestly know how you would handle it.
1. As a direct family member in the house, would you fear for your life?
2. Do you feel the child is possessed by demons?
3. What would you do with the child, counseling, mental evaluations, what?
4. Would you punish the child when he acts out or would you pacify his actions and say that he is merely acting out and that if you have been through what he has you would do much worse?
5. Do you think, just by the short account I have given, the child will move on to bigger and better things to cause harm too?
I really am looking for good feed back on this situation. Thanks
