A reader recently sent us a letter detailing the ongoing drama surrounding her 6-year-old daughter, Lily. In her message, she described how Lily’s behavior led to the abrupt end of her therapy sessions and the unsettling discoveries that followed.
The next day, Lily’s school reported another meltdown where she screamed at a teacher, prompting the counselor to recommend more intensive therapy. Concerned, her parent contacted Lily’s former preschool teacher, Mrs. Morgan, who revealed Lily had talked about an imaginary friend named Emma. That night, the parent discovered a crayon drawing under Lily’s bed showing two girls—one labeled Lily, the other “Emma,” with Emma’s face crossed out in red scribbles.
