Do you believe Manti Teo - about his imaginary girlfriend or this is just a hoax?

What would you do if your five year old begins to see and talk with the spirits of relatives he never met because they died before he was born? Would you encourage them to develop their psychic ability or would you consider taking him to a psychiatrist for treatment?
