Message: <blockquote data-quote="Holly" data-source="post: 2098188" data-attributes="member: 209768">...in her genital area.? Okay....so let me first say that I am not making accusations. My niece has made a comment to my mother and younger sister that concerns me. I need help interpreting what is going on. Any help is very much appreciated. My niece approached my mother randomly in Dec. saying that her missy (vagina) hurt. My mom asked her why, she said "Daddy poked me and it was sharp". My mom then asked her where daddy poked her...she said "in my missy, I cried and daddy stopped." My mom then asked her the next day while watching her if her missy hurt. She said no, but did say that her daddy did hurt her missy with a sharp nail.I have no idea what to make of all of this. My mother never said anything to my sister because at the time my moms relationship with my sister was rocky and she didn't want to make anything worse, or have my sister think that my mom was making false accusations or purposely causing problems.My sister has made mention to both myself and my mom that her 3yr old daughter has been complaining for months (since Dec) about her genital area hurting. She also cries when urinating, and my sister has also discovered some sort of infection. My niece has also become more aggressive and hits things like the walls. She is generally a laid back child. I know that toddlers tend to throw fits when they don't get their way...but my sister has said that its been really bad. They don't discipline by spanking so she thinks that she may have picked this up from somewhere else. Maybe her aggression comes from having a new sister...she is 8mon old now. Any thoughts?I am trying to think positive because I know my brother in law...he is a good father and is always nurturing to his children. This has been on going for 3 months now...what are the correct assumptions should I make? Im trying to think of my own child. He is 16 mon and he crys sometimes when I am changing him especially if he has a diaper rash. My niece has been semi potty trained now for a couple of months...so Im just not sure what to think.My biggest fear is going to my sister...I DO NOT want to destroy a family over something that was misinterpreted.........something that could have been something any parent has dealt with...such as diaper rash or accidentally scratching your child while changing them or bathing them. I couldn't imagine how it would feel if someone thought that myself or my husband was sexually abusing my son because he said his pee-pee hurt because i scratched him during a diaper change or something...let alone my sister thinking the worst.I am heartbroken over this...and I really need some input. I am watching my niece next week and I want to gently ask her non-leading questions as to whats going on. Any Suggestions??? Realistically what else could be going on with her? Medically?Thank you ~Concerned Aunt</blockquote>
