[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 696989, member: 1550"] He was obviously sexually abused at some time but often kids forget it happened. It is a defense and it goes deep into the subconscious. But even though they may forget it, as ours did, they act out sexually and/or like to get their parents into trouble by calling cps or the cops to claim THEY were sexually abused by their parents. I know foster parents who lost all their kids for long periods of time because of false abuse allegations. They can also go to jail or be forced to sign up for that abusers list. CPS is unlike our regular justice system. They assume you are guilty and act accordingly. It's the child's word against yours. Sexually abuse are hot button words. The kids know it. That social services has seen this child fail over and over again in a family, it's kind of scary that they keep trying. I do think Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) can be cured...yes cured. I've read at least one book written by a kid who had Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) and decided to trust his parents. But he wasn't as disturbed as our boys are although he was no fun to have at home. I think there is a spectrum, like with most disorders. There are kids with attachment problems who don't hurt others but don't bond. And there are those who are trying to or killing animals by age 9. Those are the ones I don't think will ever be right. Also most kids in foster care were drug/alcohol exposed in utero and that makes it even worse. Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) is like antisocial personality disorder in a child. Neither treats living beings as anything more than objects for their own gain. They lack the normal human emotions and are good, remorseless con artists. [/QUOTE]
