i'm sorry that your post hasn't been answered quicker. i'd have a talk with the principal and i'd also let the mother know that you know that the child needs some help. SI (self-injury) is a serious reaction to being hurt inside. as you know.........step up and work on getting her the help she needs. do your research and print it out and give it to her mom. keep me posted on how it goes and give that little girl a big hug from me and my beasties.......xoxoxo pat
