Oh dear. This is more concerning than I had gleaned from the original post. I'd be scared as well.
Does Jo watch a lot of television? Could she be mirroring behaviors she might see in scary movies/television series? If so, I'd replace TV with another activity, something which doesn't trigger her to imitate what she is seeing on the screen.
What's her therapy situation like, and is she under the care of mental health professionals who are qualified to make an accurate diagnosis regarding schizophrenia or other brain chemistry imbalances?
So sorry you and your family are going through this.
