It breaks my heart into pieces to learn of such little ones struggling with mental illness. They can't help it. It's not their fault. It's not their parents' faults. They don't understand it. Just the cross they have been handed to bear. So sad.
For several years, I had one child in my care that seemed and still seems to have a very slight bit of this going on, not to the extremes any of you have described. But something is most definitely off in him. You can see it in his eyes, in photographs of him...I will not be surprised if the poor little guy ends up in some trouble down the road.
