younger sigling displaying symptoms of bad behaviour. Older brother has adha

My nephew who is 14 has Adha, and conduct disorder and possibly ASD. My nephews younger sibling who is 4yrs old, is displaying the same behavioural patterns as my nephew. However, in my opinion the 4yr old seems to be far worse in his behaviour. My nephew at that age was not as bad in his behaviour. I have taken a lot of notice of the 4yr olds behaviour pattern. How i mean by bad behaviour, is the 4yr old has a younger sibiling 3yrs old. What is concerning is how the 4yr old constantly hits the 3yr old. Really hurting him. What really alarms me the 4yr old has tried to pull the 3yr olds private parts  off, The 4yr old will take everthing the 3yr old has eg. food, drinks,toys. The 4yr old with put items of the 3yrs old into the rubbish bin. The poor 3yr old has no say. He is hit kicked pushed,nipped. Always has black eyes. lumps on his head, bust lips. ect. The 4yr old also bullies, hits, kicks, other children in school. Teachers are very concerned. And i agree. Something is wrong with the 4yr old. His behaviour is a cause for concern. Need some helpful advice

  • Hi again - if social services aren't much help, then ask another professional, such as your GP to refer the 4 yr old for an assessment to see if he's autistic or not.  When he goes to school, as you rightly say, it will become clear that he cannot cope there.  Has anyone had a word with the school to explain how he is  + how they can help?  The school senco cd refer him.  I know it feels like you're bashing your head off a brick wall trying to get people to listen + take action.  I know it's wrong that it's that way + that these people shd be helping, not hindering.  But, if that's the way it is, then the parents have to persist until action is taken.  Otherwise there will be a crisis + that will make things much more difficult for all concerned.
