My daughter is eight, a bright out going girl full of life and energy, she is giggly, fun and has normal interests like gymnastics and playing on her Xbox, baking, clothes and so on.
However when she gets together with her nine year old cousin the two of them don't play on the Xbox or on their ipads, or doing each others hair but at harming or killing themselves with their foam or plastic swords, knives and so on. Other games include being pushed off a pretend tall building, being set fire, choking or being killed by animals or snakes.
Last week I found my daughter lying under a board while her cousins piled things on top, when asked what are the doing they told me they seen a film in which a lady gets crushed by pile of stones being put on top of her. Today my daughter was crudely tied to a post and my niece was throwing plastic balls at her, what are you doing I asked, oh I stoning her she told me.
My daughter says if she does she does. She loves murder movies, horror films and so on
Recently we went away and I bought a ball to play in the pool with, but all my daughter wanted to do is get chased then pulled under water and pretend to get drowned.
I caught her jumping 40ft from a hey loft onto some hay. I told her how dangerous it is and she could die, she shrugged and said so, she seems to have no fear in dying. She climbed a flag pole and I was curious with her when she decided to walk across an old railway bridge that goes across a river but she seems unconcerned about the danger.
