she used to be so happy and laughing and dancing around the house and just a normal tiny girl and plays with her dolls and makes up tiny princess stories. now she is so quite, doesnt move an inch and never really speaks anymore. shes like a absolutely different tiny girl…shes doing bad in school and does not pay attention during class like she used to and at recess she just sits against the school building and doesnt play. she is a goregous tiny girl and “was” very outgoing. she does allstar cheer and dance and she loves practice, when she’s at practice that’s when she zones out and tumbles her little butt away and she just seems relieved to be there and she never wants to leave but once she has to leave shes right back to being the sad little girl no one knows anymore. i ask her if something is bothering her and the look she gives me just breaks my heart, its like she wants to tell me something so bad but she just cant let it out her mouth. and i will state baby whats wrong and she will cry and just hold on to me and still never state a word then i will rock her to sleep and she’ll sleep for hours as if she doesnt sleep when shes at home.i asked her parents..well i said her mother and her new step dad have they seen anything differnt in her like i am seeing and her mother just dont say much all she’ll state is ” oh shes fine dont worry about her” then she walks away but the step father glares at me and dont say anything and just goes into the room and dont come out until i leave. so i asked her is she scared to be home for any reason and she didnt state anything,she just looked at me once again with that sad face. I told her to draw me a picture and she did, she drew her house and she blacked out her bedroom window, like she colored only her window completely black and no other ones and i asked her why was her window colored back and she just shrugged her sholders and put her head done and didnt want to color anymore. i dont know what to do.. she’s my baby girl and i hate seeing her like this…its been about (2 mouths) with this new behavior. what in the world do you think is going on with her? and she’s 7 years old
Answer:
this is really sad
i bet something is going on at home. maybe it's her new step father. either she could be having a hard time dealing with a new dad figure. or he could be hurting her in some way.
there are numerous things that could be going on.
you do need to help your little cousin.. she could be in serious need of help.
hm i think what i would do if i were you is i would take to my mother about it. cuz youre mother is probably this tiny girl's mom's sister right? or maybe she's your dad's sister.
either way talk to your mother or someone other than her parents about it so you can try and figure out what's going on.
i really hope you can get her back to the little girl she used to be 
Answer:
if this is a real story, this is bad news. you have to look at what’s different in her life, and you mention new step father. thats the difference and he is probably molesting her.
Answer:
something is up with that step dad..you should investigate more..keep asking her whats wrong and maybe she’ll open up after a while..dont be too demanding for her to answer..and make sure she knows you’re on her side
Answer:
is she being sexually abused?? Looks that what!!! HELP HER!
Answer:
I suppose it could be something to do with the new step father? Perhaps she’s finding it difficult to cope with a new person in her life? Try and find out if there's also a problem at school. Bullying is a very common thing in school, particularly with children.
Hope you can figure out what's going on! xx
Answer:
If you ever even suspect ANY form of abuse call Department of Kids and Families (DCFS) right away. You can leave a tip anonymously.
Now you should also ask her if anyone “Has touched her in a wrong place and if so where?” and if so where. Ask questions where a yes or no wont be enough of an answer. Now don’t advocate names for her to pick from “Did so and so touch you?” because she might just state yes to it just so the real person wont get mad. (You might even be able to get a small tape recorder and tape her telling you what happened- dont let her know you have it) Get her to speak,reassure her and let her know you wont be mad and how much you love her. Show her in words and in deeds how much you love her. It might not be that something is happening at home but it might be at school or even a friends.
It might also be that she’s missing her real Dad. Where ever he’s, if he sees her or not, she might just need to speak about him without anyone judging him or her. This might upset her New Step Father so she might not feel comfortable talking about it in her home. If you can try to also open a conversation up about her Father. Children can be odd and sometimes unable to express their true feelings about a situation with out someone opening up and telling them it is safe.
I hope this helps, and I hope she gets better.
Answer:
At this moment in time, i love the little girl, i love you, hate the step dad and want to slap the mum.
i pray something's sorted out. This sounds like a story i heard, of a famous dancer, performer and singer. He used to go to dancing and be happy and when it ended he never wanted to go back home. he was also very quiet and kept himself to himself. But when he was adopted by a different family, he instantly changed for the better. Turns out his mum was abusing him.
