[QUOTE="MyFriendKita, post: 619968, member: 4888"] MidwestMom—there is no reason to communicate via PM; anything we have to say to each other can be said on this forum. I stand by what I said as well. It is well-documented that those classes of medication can cause or exacerbate the very problems this child is dealing with. in my opinion, it would be irresponsible not to mention it. Also, in my opinion, it is irresponsible to say nothing will help a child you have never met. I do believe you mean well, but I think you are seeing this child and others like him through the same lens you viewed your foster son. You may see similarities, but the fact remains, you do not know this child and cannot say for certain nothing will help him. You seem to think I haven’t dealt with a violent child; anyone who has ever dealt with a bipolar child knows a thing or two about living with violence. As a matter of fact, I gained a new hole in my living room this past weekend after having a relatively damage-free few years (yes, my son was helped by medication, but did not like the way it made him feel, so he quit taking it. So no happily-ever-after story here). So yes, I do know about living with violence. I also know that any problems this child has will not be helped by being incarcerated. I know that from experience as well. And even if he does end up being locked up, chances are he will not get the help he needs while in there, he will get out at some point, and his problems will be even worse. And then, he will be more dangerous. MidwestMom, I know you like to have the last word, so be my guest. [/QUOTE]
