Today, I walked into the kitchen to find my daughter trying to cut her wrist with a plastic spoon. When I asked her why, she said her friend Lucy did that so her parents would buy her pretty things. My daughter and Lucy are both four years old. FML

I had no idea kids this young self-harm! It's very disturbing. OP please get your daughter some help quickly. Good luck!

Society is ****** up. Kids should never have to think like that. Don't let your daughter play with that girl anymore and make sure her parents are told to get their shit together.

Apply for SSDI like all the other parents of cutters. Make something out of it.

Where did Lucy learn about self harm? Not funny. Not cute. Help your children. #twloha

please tell Lucys parents to get their act together and make sure your daughter knows that anything self detrimental is never the way to go about anything

Lucy has an undiagnosed mental illness. You might want to explain to your daughter that Lucy cut herself because she was sick, and the pretty things are to make Lucy feel better, not that cutting is a good idea.

You can probably just explain to both of them that cutting yourself means it hurts, and keep them away from sharp objects. They'll get bored eventually, especially if you start a chore chart and reward them with pretties. This is not a mental health problem, just an idiot kid problem. They'll grow out of it.
