[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 478923"] Guiness, I don't have the problem that you do, and I hope to God that I never do, but I just wanted to say that I think your response to the team of social workers was right on. How can you prepare the other kids for your difficult child to come home when they are afraid of what she will do to them? I never understood that idea that reunification is the ultimate goal for all families. Yes, I'm sure that there are families that have their kids get the help that they need and they can come home and live reasonably productive lives. But when you have kids who have threatened the other members of the family, or make it sound like they are a danger to others, how is reunification helpful? It just adds way more stress onto an already stressful situation. [/QUOTE]
