[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 571785, member: 1550"] Nobody really knows how to parent unattached kids, except experts. It's newly being studied. Foster parents don't know (we aren't given that much training), most therapists and psychiatrists don't know and many RTCs don't even know and use the old number-for-privledges system that does not address the problem. in my opinion, having lived with a child like this one, Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is best for society. I have no idea what, if anything, is best for such a damaged child, but in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) he is watched 24/7 and supposedly can't get out of therapy. He can't run away. He can't really harm anyone else. He can't run loose in the neighborhood hurting other kids and animals. He isn't in a house where another child or pet could be hurt or even killed (our kid had already started killing animals). Just pack his bags and be happy your other kids will be safe. Since he isn't going to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC), hopefully mom has no other kids, no pets, and a strong support system. I hope this pans out for you. Crossing my fingers... [/QUOTE]
