| Subject: Worried about a little girl on our street Fri May 25 2007, 15:13 | |
| There's a 9 year old girl on our street who has been coming over to play for the last few days. Thing is, we don't know her, and she doesn't know us, so I can only assume her parents don't know where she is. She lives with her dad, and has said she's always left on her own. That's why she comes over to play. She says her dad will hit her if he finds out she's somewhere she's not supposed to be, so can't play with anyone. She also talks way too much for my liking about boys, boyfriends, kissing and such. She seems to associate males with sex. She says she hates boys but has to kiss them, and they're all her boyfriends. I saw her getting a ice cream the other day, and she pinched all the boys bums and seemed surprised when they didn't want her to. Am I right to be a little worried, or is this just normal 9 year old stuff? Obviously it could be all normal, she could be telling tales or something, but I think you can guess what my first thought about her situation was. The next door neighbours daughter ( 8 ) doesn't like her, so whenever she's here, she can't play out, so they've asked her to leave and play with someone else, so their daughter can play out. Felt really bad, but she just constantly asked very weird questions and is making everyone feel uneasy. She almost cried saying she didn't want to go home, but she did go. The girl next door knows what number she lives at, and I considered calling social services yesterday, but I wanted to ask if I should be worried or not. What do you think? | |

| I wouldnt bother tbh. Unless you have proper evidence that she is being abused. She might just be a bit odd cos she lives with her dad. And besides if you do report it he might hit her and get her in more trouble. Try and befriend her and get her to open up to you and see if you can find out more. | |

| I think you should ring social services. If they're not hiding anything then everything will be fine.
I doubt ss will miss the signs. They know what sort of questions to ask and what sort of question ring alarm bells.
Ask yourself, if you don't ring, then find out she is in trouble, how would you feel then? | |

| i would get in touch with social services as this doesnt sound like normal behaviour for a nine year old, she sounds far to forward and she has obviously learnt that from somwhere. and as kate said if everything is ok at home it will all be fine. | |

| Let us know how things progress please. This little girl is either in serious danger or she is a disturbed child. Either way she needs help. | |
