[quote=Anonymous]1) I’m not sure I believe this “freak accident” thing. Pretending, drunk, being beaten, having some sort of medical episode you don’t understand and assuming it was the scarf... maybe. But a lot about this story seems off.

2) The 5 yo becoming increasingly violent out of panic— and laughing about it afterwards (because young kids do laugh when they’re upset and out of control— I could buy that.

3) The 8 yo, IDK? Undiagnosed ADHD? Or...? But this is way out of the range of normal.

Overall this isn’t adding up for me. There’s some missing detail here— or many missing details.

When I was 15 and my brother was 5, and I was babysitting him alone, he did a backwards somersault and clonked me on the head where I was sitting. I woke up to him crying and dragging me across the floor to “get help.” (We taught him to call 911 after that!) And I was out probably 30 seconds. Like I said, in a weird way, your 5 yo’s reaction, if it was indicative of panic, almost makes the most sense here. But the 8 yo? The rest? [/quote]
