Mat 15:22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.
Mat 17:15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatic, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
Mar 9:17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
Luk 9:42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw him down, and tore him. And Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, and delivered him again to his father.
"Vexed" is a word in the bible that is almost used exclusively to signify demonic activity. It doesn't imply "possession", but it does indicate a real, often physical manifestation of something outside of a person's control.
In each of these cases a child was vexed or bothered by a demonic or unclean spirit. In one case it was a "dumb" spirit meaning that the child could not speak. All four children were brought to the Lord by a parent. It is a parent's duty to recognize possible vexation and to seek deliverance for their child.
