do spirits come after children?

I have a friend whose 8 year old daughter had a freak out 2 nights ago. she was clinging to her bed rail crying and screaming that "They " were trying to take her away...at one point right before everyone fled from their home she started screaming at her grandmother to not go into mommys room because they are coming from her walls, at which point her eyes bugged out and became black (which sounds to me like her pupils became dilated). My friend believes she herself grew up seeing these entities and is choosing to get the church involved before the doctors...We are Catholics and I grew hearing about how children can see what adults cannot but I was also taught that a baptized innocent child is protected from bad spirits. I tried googling children terrorized by the paranormal and reworded it multiple times and all I can find are peoples own accounts off their ghost stories and their children waking up with scratches.i cannot find anything pertaining to my friends situation with her daughter. Does anyone know if children are typically targeted by the paranormal in such a scary way?

Children are the purest form of innocence. We are taught not to see things. I find it interesting that we have to teach our children to use the restroom and talk and walk and how to behave in public... but every child knows not to check under the bed or in the closet when it's dark. Children know what's out there... So something may be after that little girl. Seeing as your friends are taking her to church, I'd assume they pray. Have the little girl pray out loud every night. Something along the lines of "Lord, tonight I'm asking your to protect me and my loved ones. And in Jesus name, I command that anything that wants to hurt me leaves. I see you, your assignment is canceled. Go back to Hell where you belong." I woke up one night being strangled by a deamon. All of my limbs were being held down, my jaw stuck in place and I was being strangled. It was right after I switched back to Christianity from wicca. If you have any question please don't hesitate to contact me. I'm 17, I'm great with kids if she needs someone to talk to.

Kids will believe in everything they are told. You'll notice that this includes Santa Claus, the tooth fairy and the bogeyman that lives under your bed as well as demons and ghosts. Chances are she's getting these strange ideas from her mother who really shouldn't be filling a childs head with such stuff. There's no real reason why a kid would be seeing things that the rest of us can't. Vivid imagination influenced by an irrational parent is the main problem here.
