He is currently 14. His father and mother just went in front of the judge to sign away their parental rights this week, I believe. He had been on temporary placement with CPS prior to that. Totally agree that he should not be in any type of residential situation. He needs to be under 24 hour supervision. I didn't even go into all of it above otherwise it would have become a book. After he left, I also noticed that the tablet that he had controlled access to was filled with history of him trying to open loans and credit cards. It's just never ending. I was on the edge of finding a new home for my cat (even though he was the only thing keeping me sane some days) when he tried to kill his father. My stepson asks about the cat every time he talks to his father. I get so upset with the history with that every time I hear say he wants to see my cat because I remember the screams when I wasn't looking. I have made a promise to myself (and my poor mother) that he is never coming back to this house. I just can't do it anymore, even if it means his father needs to move out until he is old enough. However, I don't think his father can do it anymore, either. We are both just broken.
