[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 560825, member: 1550"] Everyone, including husband and me, thought this child was an angel. Of course my younger kids and any other young kids he came into contact with and obviously our animals were terrified of him, so terrified that nobody told on him. "He said he'd kill us and we believed him!" Get her away from your poor animals as well as your children. I'll bet s he plays with fire too...that's another big symptom of absolute Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). I have a friend who did foster care. Her foster son, age elevin, burned the house down. While the house, with all their treasures, was burning and the fire fighters were there, he turned to her and said, "Can we go to McDonalds?" He was not disturbed at all by what he had done. I met this child's caseworker one day and we were talking. She wouldn't give me his name, but did mention that in her caseload she had a child who had burned down a family home. It was a coincidence that I knew the family. I asked her how he was doing. She shook her head and said, "He has no conscience at all and laughs when he talks about how he burned down this family's house." He is living in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC). Please....go save yourself, your kids and your pets. This isn't mild attachment problems. This is full blown Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). If you decide to try to treat him, and there is no guarantee it will work, I would still move out of the house and take the pets with me. Let husband work on it with her while they live in a different place entirely. It's too risky. Keep us posted! [/QUOTE]
