[QUOTE="SRL, post: 399164, member: 701"] Hi 5girls2boys. I'm so very sorry that you had to find us. You're with friends here. We've had some parents who the state didn't fully disclose to and the host of life-changing problems that can arise from such a situation for all involved. Your primary concern at this point must be for the welfare of your family, and obviously if it's this extreme an immediate out-of-home placement is in order. Have you met with someone in your state to discuss options? We've had families who have had to release children back to the state and sever all ties. We've also had several that have used permanent therapueutic foster care or residential placement, sometimes remaining involved and at other times minimal involvement. I know any option doesn't sound good, but when a child is a severe threat to the safety of the family--and from your description it sure is the case, you simply have to put your family first. Sometimes such a child will actually do better in a more restricted environment than in a home environment. I'd suggest finding an immediate temporary out of home placement so you have some time and space to make the bigger decisions that need to be made. I'm sorry that it's come to this. I can imagine how damaging to your family and your hearts this has been. :grouphug: [/QUOTE]
