My 10 year old step daughter just cut her hand. It looks pretty bad, I need to take her to the ER, as she needs stitches and a tetanus shot, but she's terrified of needles and locked herself in her room. She's been in there for hours and won't budge. Hubby is away on business trip and I don't know how to get her to go.

U need to find someone to help you get to her. She needs a tetanus shot at least if not stitches too.

ooo that sucks, here are some things that u can try.
1) if you have a large enough window to climb into, then walk around and go in the window.
2) Tyr 2 talk her out.
3)Explain to her what can happen if she dosent get stitches and a shot, tetenis, infection, ect.
4) last result--- i was watching a show on what to do if you are kidnapped, and it said that with most houshold doors, that when they are locked, that you can kick the door right where the lock and doorknob is , and kick that spot as hard as u can.
if all else fails call the fire dept. Good luck. :)

ok, first chilled and listen. Even though I don't know how it feel like being a parent, but you need to be calm.Be calm when you have a conversation with her. Talk until she get out of her fear or the situation that she is in. Calm her down and explain there nothing wrong of taking needle and let she lighten up. Well that what I think will work.

You're the mom here so it's up to you take charge. I know phobias are terrifying to those who have them but she needs to be looked at asap, so she doesn't catch some kind of infection. I don't know what I would do, but my mother would take the hinges off the door (lol) and drage me to the hospital whether I wanted to or not, no she wouldn't have had to go that far with me but she would if she had to, if it was a question about my health. Good luck.

call the hospital/police and they can help u. usually indoor locks have that little hole where u can stick the key that comes with it in there and open it. good luck.
I have gotten cut on my hand REALLY bad and it even squirted a drop of blood half a foot high and I could see the vein i cut through. I just kept it covered and it healed just fine.

Tell her that you found another way of helping her cut. (yes this is a lie) but it will get her out of the room 7 into the hospital. When she figures out you lied, she would've already been inside the hospital and there will be nurses for back up, and she'll thank you later for it, you're only helping....

Tell her that most of the time they use liquid stitches and she may not have to get a shot.liquid stitches-they don't even use a needle.

That is tough! Tell her that they are going to put anesthesia, so she won't feel anything and that by letting it that way it'll get infected and she will loose her hand.
Sorry if that's not an appropriate answer, but I think I would do that.

tell her that she needs to go before it gets worse. if she lets it go any longer it might become something serious and she may need many shots and it will be a lot worse the longer she waits. i would try anything to get her to go, especially if its bad.
good luck!
