So angry, I am shaking
As I was getting my six year old ready for a bath tonight I noticed a decent sized new bruise on the front of her privates. It's swollen and she is not letting anyone near it. I also found another bruise on her lower leg that is clearly fingerprints. She has severe apraxia and shuts down under stress, so we have no idea who did this.
tomorrow I will take her to the pedi, but wtf do I do other than that? She's been off all afternoon, even her SLP noticed, so it clearly happened today. I'm completely lost and angry and sick.
help?

Re: So angry, I am shaking
Oh no. I'm so very sorry; that makes me so mad for her and for you!
Here's some information that might help:

is it possible she fell climbing the monkey bars at school and the leg bruise is from someone catching her?
stay calm. don't worry until you have to. and Hugs
Unfortunately this is not the first incident she's had at school. A couple of weeks ago she came with bruises on her rib cage from a little boy who kicked her.
i'm calming down, but still upset.
thanks
I would think the school would need to involve CPS..most likely. I don't know though. P had some bruising down there and on her inner thighs and I freaked out..we realized that it was her giddy up and go horse causing it, needless to say he found a new home.
I'm so sorry you are dealing with this, I hope you get the answers you deserve.
Do you like the school principal? That would be my first step after the pedi.
Hoping it was an accident.
