[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 278608, member: 1550"] A few questions. Since you didn't give us a back story it's a little hard to know. Any other siblings? How are they doing? in my opinion it sounds like a heck of a lot more than ADHD to me. 1/If he had sloppy or negligent parenting when he was young, he could have attachment issues. Has he ever been checked for attachment disorder? 2/Has he had appropriate help for sexual abuse and also for acting out sexually? That's potentially very dangerous. We adopted a child who was abused and kept on acting out on other kids. This has to be addressed intensively with somebody who is a specialist in this area. If he does it again, he isn't so young now--this child of ours was tried in a court of law and found guilty as an adult of sexual assault of a minor (even though HE was a minor). A five or six year age difference is the key here. He won't stop offending without serious help. PLEASE GET IT. 3/Are there are psychiatric problems or substance abuse on EITHER side of his biological family tree. You say nothing about birthmother. Did she take good care of herself while pregnant? How many stepparents abused him? Was this sexuallyl? I think he truly needs very intensive help. It's not just making a home for him. That is not enough if he is displaying sexual acting out and bold-face lying. I really believe he needs a whole slew of help for his various issues. It sounds like his life until now was awful...it takes an awful lot of outside help to get these kids on track and a regular therapist probably wont' do the trick. Glad you posted.
