We're a random group of strangers on an internet forum just lobbing opinions about - don't try to give our views more importance than they actually have.

Ok Dun, I won't do that if you don't try to underestimate mine. :rotfl:

How on earth can you have an opinion without a basic understanding, why do you think the services take the WHOLE history

Because when you get down to basics, then whatever her reasons, her behaviour is intolerable and needs to be stopped pronto.

If she'd hit her parent that could be analysed, but she didn't. She hit/bullied/victimised a much younger sibling in a very nasty way for something that was totally her fault and nothing to do with him or his behaviour.

A vulnerable person MUST be protected from an abuser wherever possible and that has to be the first priority in this situation, as the OP seems to realise.

O.P., I hope you can get sorted out for the benefit of all of you.

I've been where you are and I know what it's like. Good luck.

I don't disagree BUT I am saying that a sticking plaster is pointless, whilst protecting the younger child, they also need to get to the bottom of it or it will just happen again.:(

Jeez, she was a stressed seventeen year old who hit out at her younger sibling. It happens. Brothers and sisters fight. No doubt you will all tell me you were married, left home, had a job blah de blah at seventeen , by as far as I am concernerned seventeen is still a kid in tems of emotional development. Stop being so ruddy harsh on her.

No wonder so many young people today behave so badly, when silly adults make excuses for them.

Wow. Abuser. Or frustrated teenager. Only you can decide, indeed you already have, with very little actual info to go on.
