I am a childcare provider, this child just recently came into my care. I care for him afterschool and on sch. off days. Currantly he's suspended for fighting. Last week, I put him in time out for slapping a child and he cried loudly, uncontrollably, and through and outragious tantrum. As soon as I came to speak to him, and find out why he was screaming that way, he punched himself in the nose, blood was streaming everywhere, I rushed him into the bathroom, and called his mother, everytime I left out of the bathroom to console the other children in my care, when I returned there was more blood splatter, all over the bathroom walls, floor, him etc. (It was as if he was causing more blood!) I was horrified. I spoke to his mother about taking him to a doctor, she acts as if this is a daily occurance and says that he "is being dramatic". Today at movie time, he just wet himeself. I am beside myself. I am at total odds. I believe that something is mentally wrong with him. Help.
