[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 251379, member: 1233"] You can always refuse to take him. They may threaten husband with child abandonment, and others here can tell you how to negotiate that thorny path. When I was in the situation of being afraid they would release my son and knowing he was too sick to be home safely, they helped me negotiate things. My son hadn't shown them his dangerous behaviors yet, and your stepson HAS shown this. You can argue that the prostitution, fire setting, cruelty to biomom and animals means that he is still a major threat to YOU and he cannot be in your home. whatever you do, go in with a unified front with husband, make darn sure husband KNOWS that if he brings stepson home he will have to stay at a motel with him until an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or long term hospital bed opens up, and then don't agree to anything other than a placement. Chances are the hospital knows how dangerous he is as he has NOT been well behaved or controlled in the hospital. Here is hoping things go well. And that you and husband can be united on what you intend to do if they release him. Heck, I would be tempted to send him back to biomom. Maybe SHE can get him into a psychiatric hospital. SHE knows more of the problems than you do! Hugs, sweetie, [/QUOTE]
