How do you deal with 8 year that is very abused to her aunt

Question

her dad pawn her off to everyone that he can so he can be with his new girlfriend. she lost her mom in april and found her died.

Answer 1

Tell the Dad and if he does nothing than Report the the abuse to Social Services.  It is your responsibility. How awful for the girl.

Answer 2

?????

If she hasn't had counseling, she needs it.  No 8 year old should go through this mess without someone to help her sort it out and deal.

Call your local health department or social services agency to find out where she can be helped.

The best way you can help is to make sure she gets to her appointments.  

Answer 3

Awwww poor thing first of all she needs to know she is lovethat'sts the most important thing so you need to do what you can to show her you are NOT going anywhere and you adore her but you do expect her to mind make list of rules and put on fridge when she disobeys those allowance or anything she adores is taken away for while..video games ?

She is probably acting out to get attention and she is scared because of what she has to live with..she needs you do not give up on her.We are all lucky to have kids in our lives we just do not appreciate it enough!!!

Answer 4

The child needs counseling obviously.  She feels abandoned, her mother died and her father has deserted her.  She needs to be able to express her anger.  She is not to blame for acting out.  Her father needs a quick kick in the teeth and told to straighten up or to sign away his parental rights and turn custody over to someone who cares about her because obviously he doesn't.  I suggest going to Social Services.
