Answer 1

Hey :) I would say that when your mom gets home, or your dad, tell them the situation, and then see what they say. If it was Zoey, I would take her to the hospital.

Answer 2

Yeah get a grown up to bring him. Children have what they call green stick bones. Which means that their bones are not like adults bones are. Have you ever seen a stick from a branch and sorta broke it open and it was flimsy and green inside. Well think of the childs bones like this. They are not strong enough to with stand a break or any type of damage. ok now think about a grown ups bone and compare that to a branch or a stick that you try to break. Many sticks are forced to be broken with much strength and effort before it is actually broken. So in conclusion you should tell someone it could be sprained or fractured. If not treated your parents could get trouble for neglecting their child. So just tell someone before this situation gets worse. Its always better to tell the truth than to cover up a lie that will keep getting worse and worse.

Answer 3

If he can move it it is fine!

Answer 4

I would say call your parents and have them take a look at it and have them take him to a Dr. to have it checked out.
