I am SO SORRY that you have to address this problem.  It is scary to think your child is sexually attracted to young children.  It won't be easy to find a placement, but I hope the deviancy program will help.  This kind of thing is very difficult to change, sadly. It may be that you have to wait until he hurts someone to get any residential options. 


In your shoes I would go to the police/sheriff and talk to them about this.  Why?  Even just looking at child porn is a serious crime.  The cops are going to have a hard time seeing difficult child as the perpetrator and not you, so you need to take steps NOW to protect yourself legally.  If you can afford it, talk to an atty and have the atty with you when you speak to the police.  You need to learn what to do to prevent difficult child from downloading child porn onto your computer.  You cannot help difficult child if you get charged with having child porn, Know what I mean??  Given the previous treatment by the deviancy program, you shouldn't have much trouble proving that it is difficult child who has the problem.


As for not feeling like you have anything to offer, sometimes just knowing people are listening and that they really 'get it' means more than all the advice in the world.  Just because you are new doesn't mean you have nothing to offer.  We all go through times when we just can't give, and that is okay here also.
