What Causes Abnormal Behavior In A Child?

I found my grandaughter pretending to have intercourse in the backyard behind the bushes. She was making so much noice that I thought a flock of geese had landed in the corn field. Much to my dismay, it was not geese but my granddaughter verbalizing and saying "fuck me" oh "fuck me hard". I just about lost all my air....it breaks my heart to have her doing this. Not just because of the sex act but because she has so many problems with lying, stealing, and now this...... She has been to many councilors and no one seems to get to know the real her. It's like she is able to conseal her real self. I have even seen her get her parents really upset at her and she just smiles as they finally walk away.... I'm convinced there is more wrong here than what a school councilor can handle....help....

I'm very sorry for your being distraught at this radically difficult situation. You have not stated the age of your granddaughter but I am guessing she is probably in her pre-teen years or early adolescence. Unfortunately, a school counselor will not have the tools or the skill set to find out exactly what is at the root of this child's behavior which may actually be antisocial by definition given the fact she steals, lies, and plays sex roles which are obviously way out of proportion to her age and maturity levels. She truly will need psychiatric help and perhaps at a major medical center. They may wish to run sophisticated imaging tests to see if there is any evidence of actual frontal lobe damage she may have suffered earlier as a child from things such as falls, potential physical abuse, etc. I believe this is the best course of action for your granddaughter. All the best. If you have any other specific questions or comments please feel free to contact me at: bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi
