Why does my 5-year-old daughter keep repeating the words 'they will come for us, they will find us and touch us'? I'm quite scared.

Why does my 5-year-old daughter keep repeating the words 'they will come for us, they will find us and touch us'? I'm quite scared.

If she admits that it's something she heard at school, try and see if she will tell you who she heard it from. Bring it up with her teacher or with an administrator at the school to make sure that they get control of the situation. And tell your daughter that sometimes kids just say messed up stuff and that it doesn't mean she has to go along with it or be scared. Tell her to just ignore it or tell her teacher

If she's been abused, (which I don't believe is very likely. This just seems like a simple case of her repeating something she saw online or in a movie, or heard from someone else at school or on the playground or at daycare, etc.) you definitely need to take legal action and get an investigation done against the alleged abuser. And take your daughter to therapy so that a professional can help her address the trauma in a healthy way

Of course saying stuff like that is alarming and could be a sign of something deeper, especially if your child isn't in school and doesn't have internet access. Sit her down and ask her where she heard that from. Assure her that you are there to protect her and that nothing bad is going to happen to her.

Can we trust the Bible when Constantine and the First Council of Nicaea took out many books of the Bible and altered existing translation by removing things?

Firstly, if your 5 year old has internet access, that needs to be cut off immediately. The internet is full of porn, gore, and predators that a child could easily stumble upon at any moment. Yes, even on YouTube, TikTok, and websites made for kids. Nothing is safe! So unless you are watching your child's screen along with them at all times, just don't let them have the internet.

My guess is that she probably heard it from someone at school or somewhere on the internet
