lice

If this family is following you when you move, then I would be wondering what was up with them. I would tell my daughter to avoid sharing items with the girl. A sure proof way of getting rid of head lice is to wash your daughters' hair with mayo. Put it on her hair and put a shower cap over it and leave it for a while , then wash it out and follow with a fruit or floral scented shampoo. That will also help to keep your daughter from getting them. My daughter has had them several times and I have never figured out where she gets them from.

Have you tried helping the little girl yourself? I know it's not your daughter, but why should she continue to suffer from her incompetent mother? It's not the little girls fault and shouldn't be treated like a disease. somebody has to take care of her and you have a better chance in helping her right now until the authorities do something. that little girl could be dealing w/ more than just bugs. if her parents won't take care of her hair, what else is that child lacking? food? water? clothes? etc. i don't know why you moved, but you made it sound like you moved because of the little girl. i hope not...lol. because that's a little extreme. i couldn't imagine watching a kid suffer and not do anything. be the better person and show the little girl what it's like to be taken care of. she probably doesn't know any better herself. she needs to be taught how to take care of herself and you could be doing that. it would also be a great oppurtunity to show your own daughter how to be the good samaritan.

Do the usually stuff to get rid of them from your daughters hair and your house now. Treat hair, wash bedding, spray your couches and pillows, your cars, vacuum your house througherly and your car, put stuffed animals in plastic for 1 month (I used to only do the favorites and get rid of the rest and not allow any more for a very long time)Lice treatment kit is usually at Wal-Mart. Use it!!! After hair treatment as ordered have to repeat hair treatment in at least 14 days this includes combing hair to remove nits. Purchase a tea tree oil shampoo (Nexus type product) (usually from a place that sell beauty shop supplies) shampoo hair at least 2's a week with this to help prevent reinfestation. My granddaughter got them and her mother would not listen on how to get rid of them. I went over and gutted the house and cleaned everything. Treated her and mom and dad and repeated. I ended up cutting their hair shorter but not by much and got the tea tree oil shampoo. This has helped alot on the prevention. Call the welfare department and report about the continual problem that occurs because they don't treat the problem. They will make sure they do. I am surprised that the school hasn't.

We have always used dandruff shampoo to ward off lice. I read about it once. So, every time we get a letter from school that there was lice found, we wash our kids hair with it for a week or so. Sometimes we do it just because we haven't done it in a while - a just in case thing. Luckly we have never had them.

The old remendy is after you wash her hair massage her scalp with Tea Tree oil, just her scalp it seems to work and at least they will not keep comming back...try that and let me know....

The one thing would be to forbid them any where around your family and that they need to take care of the problem. If the other mother doesnt do anything than you need to contact the school and talk to them . To see if that helps. If that dont work, Than I would contact the health department about the family and see what they say.

but they have this problem at every school. there are parents that really just refuse to do anything about the childs hair or do the bare minimum. my daughter had lice twice and that was plenty. things that you can do is make sure your child's hair is up ALL THE TIME like in a pony tail or what have you, this will help greatly!
