I imagine she is merely acting out due to something else in the family dynamic that is affecting her, and she figures the best way to seek attention is by making such a claim as to hearing the devil speak to her.

It's basic psychology.

I thought schizophrenia could happen at any age?

It can happen. It's not the norm.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

I think it's pretty effed up that the OP has such knowledge but won't take it upon him or herself to do the same, against the law or not.

OP, It makes me pretty sick that you were willing to flaunt it here, but do nothing to help.

Fine.   You've convinced me; I'll report it, but first, I am going to ask my friend to do so.

Fair enough, so what's the usual age for things like schizophrenia and Schizoaffective Disorder to start then?

Late teens, early 20's.

And, so, maybe this little girl is faking it and just trying to ruffle Mom & Dad's & everyone else's feathers?

We're not psychiatrists.

Report it for fucks sake.

The girl obviously needs help.

Maybe, but you can't afford to take chances with things like this.

What do you want us to say, that it's ok to not do anything because reasons?
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

I remember not praying much because I did not hear an audible voice. Kind of hard to have a personal relationship with someone you can't see, or hear.
