[QUOTE="buddy, post: 540259, member: 12886"] Sadly the worst part of this (and there are many awful parts)...these people are actually doing damage to your difficult child. If the professionals who work with a child who has reactive attachment disorder do not understand the "superficially charming", "triangulates adults", "makes false abuse accusations", "tells lies", etc. symptoms, and when they do not understand that these kids desperately need to NOT be in charge so they can learn to trust that they dont have to manipulate and act this way to survive....they are just feeding into the disorder. It should be criminal to have a worker do this, but what can you do? You are likely better off with his being placed out of the home but I wish that the adults working with him would see that supporting you would be in HIS best interest. I am just terribly sorry they are doing this...and undoing what you were working toward. I agree with the others, keep all the documentation you can. At some point he is going to get in huge trouble and it is on THEM not you. Just really awful. This diagnosis is one that is handled wrong from beginning to end in huge numbers of cases. Welcome to the CD board, as you can see, you are sadly, not alone. [/QUOTE]
