Here's the thing- she HAD been potty trained by age 3. She REGRESSED to wetting and soiling. One of the "red flags" when trying to determining whether a child has been sexually abused.
BBM:That is completely normal. I know many kids that have regressed and had trouble when they are getting older. It is not a red flag. It is something to consider but It is not proof positive of abuse.
BBM:
NOPE! Not normal to regress to wetting and soiling day and night until age six, particularly with brother having same issues.
Adults sometimes have accidents too. Kindergartners also forget while they are playing or try to hold it because they don't want to miss anything.
It is not normal or common to wet the bed on a regular basis almost every night at age six nor to defecate on oneself at that age or wear pullups, particularly when a child as already been potty trained.
Well of course it is possible!!!!! However, the fact that some children have toilet issues ,defecating and wetting their pants and beds on a regular basis day and night at age six does not make it normal. Throw in a nine-year-old brother that has similar issues and you have a pattern that indicates something abnormal going in.It is normal for many kids.. I know children that wet the bed well into 10 years old. Also that have bowel accidents.. There is no normal here. Some kids have issues for a long time and some don't. Some have bowel issues and some don't.
But there is no sweeping commonality here.
It is more than possible.

"Do you know a child six-years-old or older who wets the bed at night?
You are not alone…
5 to 7 million children in the U.S. ages six and over wet their beds at night."
No matter how many times you say abnormal behavior is normal, it won't make it so. <modsnip>It can be normal for many kids.. And throwing in the brother, Although the only place I saw it mentioned is here and in no other official document. It could mean they had anatomical issues or even stomach issues from time to time, Many kids have bathroom issues.
It is nothing more than normal for them.
No matter how many times you say abnormal behavior is normal, it won't make it so. I won't play silly word games. Back on ignore.
"and just when I thought it was safe to go back in the water.........."

Soiling which is not caused by a physical illness or disability is called encopresis.
It even has a name.
"Children with encopresis may have other problems, such as short attention span, low frustration tolerance, hyperactivity and poor coordination. Occasionally, the problem with soiling starts with a stressful change in the child's life, such as the birth of a sibling, separation/divorce of parents, family problems, or a move to a new home or school. Encopresis is more common in boys than in girls."

Some kids have irritable bowel issues..
Flirty behavior in a 6 yr old? What??? She is 6.
If I remember, it is PR herself that was talking about JB being flirty.
Even Patsy expressed occasional doubts about the effect of the circuit on her daughter: "She is too friendly, just too friendly with people," she told Michael and Pam. “She flirts with people.”
from this article http://www.thedailybeast.com/articl...exonerated-in-the-murder-of-his-daughter.html
She was not using that in any sexual way.. just that she thought JB was too friendly too trusting.. And that article?? Really? The Daily Beast. I don't believe she even said it if that is the only source.
