In Reply to: HELP - Advice needed for my friend ASAP - sm - Oh Dear!

Hi: I just met a woman on-line...I swear the lord works his ways. It is a long shot, but I would like to put you (or your friends) in touch with her somehow. She seems to me to be an angel. Very knowledgeable about children. She is a play therapist. I believe she has been for over 20 years. I am going to forward your story to her and await a reply. Once I hear back, I will forward your information to her. If you would just leave me your e-mail please. I have a young daughter about Tater's age, and I am really heartbroken. I know there is a way to heal all the hurt. Underneath is a wounded child that needs healing and alot of LOVE. She needs prayer and salvation and help. I hope maybe in a tiny way I can help.

Thanks, Diane

I briefly talked to my uncle, who is psychiatrist, about Tater. His recommendation was to take her
to a pediatric psychiatrist for a thorough evaluation and then the appropriate referrals and/or medications can be started. There has to be an indepth evaluation why Tater is the way she is. It could be that her mother was never abusive towards her, but it could be that Tater may be showing the early signs of schizophrenic disorder and what we perceive as lies to us are realities to her. At any rate, shipping the child off may not be the best answer, but to get her the adequate help. I feel for your friend, because it is not easy to deal with a "problem child" but now Tater's Daddy and your friend are legally responsible and accountable for the child.
