Help for a little friend

[cripi]

I’m writing this post in the hopes that someone may be able to offer some advice regarding a little boy whom I dearly wish to help. His name is Stefano, he is twelve years of age and he is my girlfriend’s little brother. I’ve known him for about 2 years now and have developed a considerably close relationship with him; on some level I feel that I really am his brother. Since birth he’s suffered from various ailments including but not limited too extreme hyperactivity, learning disabilities, spontaneous bowel movements, depression, and acute levels of mental disability. His parents care for him dearly and have poured every ounce of money and will power into helping him, but after twelve years of little results I feel that their patience has waned thin, and they’ve become complacent to his every whim and tantrum. Despite their efforts no valid/confirmable medical explanation has ever been brought to light. I refuse to believe that he has any type of mental disability considering the level of intellect he displays (the boy can beat me in any video game I play with him, and I’m an AVID gamer).

When he was seven years old he began displaying very odd behavior, he would find ways to unlock pornographic material on the tele and would masturbate, and at times he would also attempt to grope his older sister. I was shocked to read of a similar case story in Mr. Bruce’s book Practical Psychic Self Defense. His parents tell me that of all of the people he has every known I’m the only person he ever seems to truly listen too. I have an uncanny ability to diffuse his tantrums when I first see signs of their emergence, though there is little I can do if I’ve arrived after the first screams and flying objects. During his tantrums he will revert to a very odd state, he will walk very stiffly and hunched over, he will revert to the use of peculiar insults (which sound very much like something you’d hear on a Spanish soap opera), and he will at times physically attack the person responsible for annoying him. While I’m not sure if he has any neg attachments (due to my relative inexperience in this matter) I am convinced that something can be done to assist him. Please, if anyone has any idea as too what could be done I would greatly appreciate it. There is a photo of him in the link below.

Does his family ever take him to church? If they don't I would start there. Being Puerto Rican myself, I know that almost everyone there goes to catholic school. (I did.) Does he? There are unobtrusive ways to help him without scaring him or his family, such as holy water in his bed and/or clothes, playing with water (with a water hose try to trick him into walking over it). With children I don't like the idea of salt baths, but stuff like- Bless the house with incense when he's in school, 'agua de florida' his room as you bless it.
As for non-neg related problems, he might have a sort of high-functional form of Autism(whose name I forgot- I think it starts with 'M'). where the intelligence is higher than average and the behavior is almost normal, except for some anomalies like obsessive-compulsive and ritualistic behavior. But they are not your typical autistic person, they are intelligent and articulate, but don't really relate to. So a person like that who is prob. smarter than their parents (I'm not saying that's the case here) can probably learn fairly quickly what buttons to push, and lack a certain set 'rules of behavior' that others take for granted.
Well, I'm sure the Dr's. have probably explored that route, but I thought I'd throw it in for consideration.
Did you read PPSD? if not then check out here, http://www.astraldynamics.com/tutorials/?BoardID=10
and meanwhile we will send a prayer his way.

Unfortunately his family is not of any particular religion, and I don’t think I’d be able to convince them otherwise. On the other hand his mother studies the Kabbalah privately and regularly places incense and spiritual iconography around the house and his bedroom. As an extra precaution I will ask for permission to take your advice and use holy water. It should be noted however that the water crossing countermeasure rarely seems to have any effect unless his has been entirely immersed in water (i.e. bath or pool, this seems to calm him the most), walking across water mains and garden hoses has never had any affect although I must admit that I’ve only attempted this specific method twice now. I’ll begin more fervent attempts to rid him of the tantrums with these countermeasures. As far as the general atmosphere of the home is concerned there is nothing that I suspect would affect him too adversely, the place is quite nice and is kept very tidy. It has no discernable dark areas of negative vibrations that I’ve been able to observe. His family members are all exceedingly loving towards him and they get along splendidly within themselves, there is little in the way of domestic upheaval to justify such a condition.

As to your medical theory; this would explain a lot of his symptoms, however everything about his various clinical tests and procedures is counter indicative of autism. His various doctors have toyed with that very idea, and even given him the respective therapies and medications with little or no effect. As I mentioned in my previous post they’ve never been able to present solid medical diagnosis and as such he’s made little progress with his numerous different therapies and treatments.

I have read PPSD, and have spoken with his mother concerning the various countermeasures available; I’ve yet to receive permission to attempt anything other than the water crossing technique and while this seems to have a limited affect controlling his tantrums it does little in the way of long- term progress. If I receive permission to try anything other than water crossing I will attempt to instruct him in core image removal for children, as instructed by Mr. Bruce in PPSD.

For those of us who send energy at a distance with techniques like NEW and reiki, please keep us updated. It is a lot more common around here to start sharing energy (by inviting the person to receive it, rather than more active techniques requiring permission) without saying anything than to post something like "count me in".

Sure thing Tom, and thank you for your kindness.

I urge you to pray to Blessed Alphonsa of India. Her intercession is very powerful, for she suffered herself. I shall pray as well.

Blessed Alphonsa, praise the Lord...
For His mercy endures forever!

I feel that the parents should consult specialists including a psychiatrist and a pediatrician . Many things need to be considered including a possiblity of interference or abuse and even diet .

If the parents consider that their child needs spiritual help to remove neg influence , advice is available to them as CFT has suggested above and in RB's books . I would not hesitate to suggest salt water myself except in the case of an infant . The parents could also ask the Catholic Church to perform an exorcism . If you suspect he needs such help than he is a source of risk to you so please consider that too .

Prayers and white light never harm .

If my memory serves me correctly I spoke with his parents concerning his psychiatric counseling, the only plausible explanation they concluded was neurological problems however as his medical testing showed no trace of deformation or damage of any kind they were unable to specify as to where the problematic area was.

It is curious that you should mention his diet; his eating habits are down right horrific. I should mention however that it has little to do with a bad example on the part of the parents; they’ve tried everything imaginable to diversify his diet, even forcefully, but to no avail. He would rather fast than eat something that is not to his almost ridiculously picky taste. While in the past this might have lead to a prolonged campaign of tantrums and no nutritional intake, now his parents will generally feed him what he demands, for fear of his not getting any nutrition at all. They do however try to limit his intake, but this within itself will never be enough to fix the problem. While not severely overweight, he has become quite pudgy. How else do you suggest we should alter the quality of his food intake? And as to the salt water bathing, should I recommend that it be made a continual process on a daily basis, or is it better to take any length of waiting in between such techniques?

I have given my safety a lot of thought, especially after reading PPSD. However, given that he lives with my girlfriend I cannot avoid contact, generally I see him everyday for extended periods. And even if I could have it otherwise I’m quite willing to risk my own safety if the possibility of aiding him in any way can come from my spending time with him.

Thank you for your advice Ms. Clair .

Edit: I forgot to mention that while I’m not aware of ever having been under direct psychic attack in his presence, I do regularly feel negative airs. This is much more predictable on the days which he seems overly enthusiastic about my being there and becomes very demanding of my time.

When I was reading your post, it reminded me so much of the problems a client of mine has with her son. He was diagnosed (after multiple doctors) with Asperger's Syndrome. I wonder if that was what CF was thinking of, also. Here's a Wikipedia link that might have some information to help out:

Asperger's Syndrome. I wonder if that was what CF was thinking of,

Yep- that was it- for some reason the name flies out of my brain.
