So I recently found out about Jani, a young girl diagnosed with a severe case of childhood schizophrenia, for those unaware of the illness the likelihood of a child developing it are extremely slim and rare. Jani has over 100 imaginary friends usually formalizing into rats and cats. The frequent imaginary friends Jani sees are 400 the cat who tells her to "hurt and scratch" others, Wednesday the rat who also encourages wrong and 24 hours a little girl who tells her to jump off buildings. I feel so badly for this little girl, who is constantly haunted by these hallucinations. Just wondered what peoples thoughts were on the case?

Ignore the stupid title of it.
Plus the fact that she's apparently becoming physically ill due to her anti-psychotics. She's a seven year old child struggling to handle drugs that often cause negative side effects on adults.
This, plus the Documentary title, says a lot about some people's attitudes towards mental illness. She's seven years old, she's got a mental health condition which is being handled dreadfully, she's possibly being/has been abused, and now she's been publically branded 'demonic'. I'm worried for her future, to be honest.
