[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 417062, member: 1550"] I'm glad he is not doing those things. I do have to say, I had no idea that our son was doing that either though until we had almost found out he was sexually abusing the younger kids. Took us two years to find out. He didn't harm our dogs in front of us. He acted overly nice to them. He never set any fires around us. And we thought the pooping was one of our new dogs. Keep an eye on him, especially when he doesn't know you're watching him. When our first dog was strangled, that was the first clue we had that something wasn't right and, even then, we did not think it was him...we blamed some teenagers down the street who had been harassing the kids. The second time, we knew. He was the only one at home except for me and that's when everything came suddenly pouring out and the younger kids admitted to us what this other child had been doing to them all this time. They had been too afraid of him to tell us, and, yes, we had had the talk about "You can tell us if anyone touches you in the wrong place and we will never blame you." They were still too afraid of him to let us know what he was doing to them. He kept saying he was going to burn the house down with all of us in it and they believed him. I'm going to post a link about attachment disorder. Somehow it seems that, if these k ids spent ten years in foster care, that more is going on than ADHD. That alone (ADHD) does not cause dangerous behavior. Ok, here is attachment disorder: [URL]http://www.helpguide.org/articles/secure-attachment/attachment-issues-and-reactive-attachment-disorders.htm[/URL] [/QUOTE]
