Oh wow, thats a tough one. How horrifying to hear about such a young soul torturing themselves like that. If I were in your position I would go to the school and tell them what you have found out about this little girl. It could be her way of acting out because of bigger problems at home and this could be the only intervention that could possibly put an end to the behaviour or the reasons for the behaviour. I would keep from your daughter that you tell them though, and make sure that they know that you under no terms want anyone to know that you were the one who came to them.
I think just being educated on the situation will get the school to take a closer look. |
