[quote=Anonymous][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]

Your 5yo brother’s reaction of crying and trying to get help makes sense to me. OP’s 5yo’s reaction of punching her is completely different and does not make sense to me.[/quote]
