Always seems to be the instigation of the mother. No kid that age has such wishes unless it is planted by a manipulative adult with an agenda.

It’s called grooming. Just how twisted does a parent have to be to put their child through it. Barf....
Agreed. I wonder if it is a sympton of Munchhausen syndrome by proxy.
Factitious disorder imposed on another, also known as Munchausen syndrome by proxy (MSbP), is a condition where a caregiver or spouse fabricates, exaggerates, or induces mental or physical health problems in those who are in their care, with the primary motive of gaining attention or sympathy from others. The name is derived from the term Munchausen syndrome, a psychiatric factitious disorder wherein those affected feign disease, illness, or psychological trauma to draw attention, sympathy, or reassurance to themselves. However, unlike Munchausen syndrome, in MSbP, the deception involves not themselves, but rather someone under the person’s care. MSbP is primarily distinguished from other forms of abuse or neglect by the motives of the perpetrator. Some experts consider it to be an elusive, potentially lethal, and frequently misunderstood form of child abuse[2] or medical neglect. However, others consider the concept to be problematic, since it is based largely on supposition regarding a person’s motives, which can be open to radically different interpretations.

The mother hates the child, because he is a boy. She is destroying his life, simply because he is not a girl.
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am, I get it"
