[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 546133, member: 11791"] I wasn't trying to take away hope... and, as each country (and each province/state on this contenent!) is quite different... we of course start from different assumptions. One being the training behind therapeutic foster care, which HERE is definitely dignificant, as in... they won't hire you for that role unless you have prior training, because the system can't afford to do the training. But as a result, the number of available spaces is very limited. An 11 year old, from an unstable background, who may or may not have some degree of insecure attachment and definitely has serious behavior problems, is definitely going to find another transition to be major. And "difficult child" kids (like so many on this board...) don't handle transitions well at the best of times. If wrap services and other major interventions are possible where he is, it is probably a better option. The "major-in-discipline" (aka punishment) military-style step-dad might have kept a lid on things, but not necessarily addressed any of the real issues. Have you ever read the book "The Explosive Child"? (R. Greene) It's an interesting read if you have a child who is wired differently and who doesn't seem to respond to "classical" discipline.
