I highly doubt the kid is being a pervert in any way, shape or form. It is far more likely that she is trying to get under her mother's skin.
Mostly a vent but advice appreciated update

Thank you for taking the time to type this. I agree wholeheartedly and I do hope we are able to help herAnonymous 7 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 7:33 pm First at that age lying can often be a reaction, not a plan. So you need to figure out what she is reacting to. My guess would be her home life with mom and boyfriend. The kid is more than likely worried about where she is going to live, what happens if mom and bf, or dad and you split up etc, things that may not even make sense to you, but you are not a child.
I would increase her appointments with her counselor. Please, don't worry about the counselor contacting CPS, there is so much more to that decision than a child who is acting this way. The kid's world is a mess in her mind, so that is her reality. The counselor and the adults in her life need to work together to change her view of her world. Dad and you are trying to get her in a stable environment, than and counseling, lots of patience is so needed.
Good luck, and I thank you for trying to help her, and not just giving up.

I think she meant sd was painting the situation to make me look like a pervert or somethingAnonymous 7 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 7:35 pmI highly doubt the kid is being a pervert in any way, shape or form. It is far more likely that she is trying to get under her mother's skin.

No the kid isn’t a pervert, but making out Superbutt (stepmom) as oneAnonymous 7 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 7:35 pmI highly doubt the kid is being a pervert in any way, shape or form. It is far more likely that she is trying to get under her mother's skin.
That's the thing, and clearly, I did not express myself well. It has nothing to do with step mom, the kid, dad, or boyfriend of mom, she just wants to annoy mom. It must have worked in the past or she would not have continue to do so.

This. This kid is going to ruin someone’s life. I’d proceed with extreme caution.Anonymous 2 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 8:09 am I'd be afraid a counselor/therapist would make a cps report as a mandated reporter. Ugh.
Definitely don't be alone with her. Hopefully you can get better advice from someone else. She is manipulating something. Kids know they can hurt adults with accusations.
