[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are getting advice on how to best handle this but you seem to be fishing for some which allows you to keep quiet in order to continue working. That advice doesn’t exist so just do what you’ve been doing. [/quote]

It is not about me continuing to work for them - believe me - it is about my charge getting in trouble for telling me and the icy reception I got the last time which tells me that my employer does not want me telling her things like this.

I am looking for - directly asking for - more ways I can help my charge.  More things I can say - how I can reassure her.[/quote]

As you have known her since birth, the little girl is lucky to have you as another loving adult to find comfort with. Since she is projecting onto the doll, maybe you could role  play with parent dolls and a child doll.  Not a big argument that she might repeat to her parents, but just the parent dolls telling the child doll that they still love her, that she'll always be safe, etc.

As long as the parents are not abusing the child (no mention of that at all), I don't see where there is anything to report to anybody. Marital difficulties/divorce sucks for kids, but it's not usually a cause for social services to intervene.

Are there grandparents or other observant family members nearby who might be in a better position to address this with the girl's parents?  I still wouldn't take it on yourself since you'e seen where that led before.  Don't get yourself fired because then you're out a job and the child would be worse off. [/quote]
