Kid may need help. Advice?

[kaosxmage]

Hello everyone!

Here's the story: A friend calls today to tell me her 7 year old son is seeing a man in the house telling him to hurt his family. It only occurs at night, and it leads to him being quite a mess emotionally. With some questions, I discovered that this "man" will appear to him while the family is all watching TV, or having dinner. This isn't just night terrors. He's been taking to the docs over the last couple months: checked for tumors, tested for all those fun psychological cross wires, etc. So far the docs are lost, which lead the family to call me.

Now I have ways of dealing with all manner of nasty critters, but this is a kid. I don't want to scar him LOL.

I'm curious, before I move forward with anything, what others would do with this.

Much Love!

Update: I spent time with the kid, and I don't believe he faces any danger. Read further below.

Well if I ruled out any possible psycological problems I would do a good old fashion banishing type ritual. I would probably use my own servitors to do it along with a general banishing ritual, followed by the parents giving a cleansing bath for the kid (You could just use sea salt and not tell them) After that I would do a protection spell on the child and the house. If I didn't want to expose the kid to it you could always just use a picture and do it from home. One could also use a sort of protection mojo bag that was fed on a regular basis by the parents. The child wouldn't have to know.

(Note: This is coming from my fiance, using my account.)

The thing is, if the kid doesn't know he's being protected, it could cause him to continue fearing to seeing it, which could actually be just as bad as seeing it and cause some actual psychological damage, beyond what's already happened. I would advise not telling exactly what you've done, but that is gone and won't bother him anymore. But other than that, the above advice is sound and would work, pending cooperation from the parents.

Psychiatrist. Exhaust all possible psychological options first before jumping to religious conclusions.

Absolutely.

Most certainly!

I just spent some time with the kid. There is no spirit. False alarm ...except the Doctor told the family to seek a Catholic Priest. That's disturbing. Anyway ...

I questioned the kid much better than either the Doc or the family did. It all boils down to very bad dreams - probably night terrors by the sound of all of it - and unresolved anger stemming from punishment being a lil extreme.

I treated this "ghost" with an anchor for all the happy happy joy joy the kid could muster, and slight hypnosis. I then lectured the family a little on the harsh punishment. Everyone agreed. I left.

I hope this all works out. He really is a great kid.

Thanks for the input regardless!

That was the sense I had reading your first post. I'd suggest buying the parents a copy of one of these books:

Parenting With Love and Logic by Foster Cline, M.D. and Jim Fay

How To Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk by Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish

You can find 'em fairly cheap through ebay or half.com. If you were raised with harsh discipline, it's hard to break that mindset.

it could be a ghost, or it could be early onset schizophrenia, which can be very difficult to diagnose, if the kid is schizophrenic, doing an exorcism or a banishing could help, or it could make the problem worse, tread extremely carefully here.

It might be a good idea to edit your first post in the thread. A lot of people just read the first post and then respond without checking for updates - especially when there are less than a dozen posts in the thread.
