Five year old dcb (AB) came to me to say 6 y o dcg (been here a month) told him:
My daddy kills 5 y o boys named AB.
What?!
When confronted she said
He doesn't do it anymore.... and lots of other very weird things.
After much talking (and frankly, praying), dcg apologized. Dcb said
I was scared, I was going to hide from him. Poor little guy.
For the first time in my years of care, I called a mom and said we need to talk - now. She came, apologized, was shocked at what her d said.
I've asked her to have dad come apologize to dcb and assure him he is safe.
Turns out dcb's parents have been hearing similar kinds of things at home that this g said for the whole month. Ugh.
It's an evil twist on "my daddy's bigger than your daddy" but to specifically state the boy's age and name takes it to the danger stage to me.
