What can cause post-traumatic stress disorder in a child? Any child who witnesses or goes through a life-threatening experience is at risk of developing PTSD. While any traumatic event can trigger PTSD symptoms, common traumas that have been linked to the disorder include: accidents, such as car or plane crashes natural disasters, such as floods or earthquakes acts of war or terrorism violent crimes, such as a home invasion, kidnapping or murder physical, emotional or sexual abuse (either of the child or of another family member in front of the child) neglect house fires exposure to violence at school or in the community suicide of a family member or friend It’s important to note, however, that not all children who live through one of these traumas will develop PTSD. http://www.childrenshospital.org/az/Site1470/mainpageS1470P1.html Now, do explain to me how you know she will not? I really would love for you to do that. Most children do. But, if you are so positive she will not, I am sure you have supporting evidence that the 12 year old girl in that story will not. If you cannot PROVE she wont. My statement stands.
