Worried about friend's daughter

Posted by Gracie2 on January 26, 2001, at 0:56:30

My friend just married a divorced man with 2 kids. For some reason (and whatever it is, I doubt if it's a good enough reason) the man left his kids with his first wife after they were divorced, even though he knew she neglected and abused them. She used to lock them in a room while she went out bar-hopping, and she reportedly also beat them.
Thankfully, my friend has taken these 2 kids into her home. The little girl, who is about 10, picks and picks at the skin on her face until it bleeds. I think she needs psychiatric help but my friend believes that she just needs a stable home and will grow out of the face-picking.
Does anyone else have an opinion on this?
