So i am a step mom of a 10 year old boy, in the past he has done everything from killing animals to setting a house on fire.
in may 2010 i married my husband and while we were on our honeymoon my SS tried to drown my rabbit he was unsuccessful, so later after school he snuck into the basement took the rabbit and put it in the washing machine and unfortunately turned it on and killed it. He was then evaluated and hospitalized until we returned home. this past july he set my mother in laws house on fire, not just a little but he nearly got trapped in the room and the house was unlivable for 5 months. He was hospitalized again because he shows no remorse for the things he does. He does afwul things at school as well from punching to spitting on kids. He has been caught multiple times trying to look inappropriately at his half sister who is 10 months old and when caught he admits to what he is doing. Recently after i made him fold his laundry(as a punishment), my husband overheard him saying when he gets older hes going to get a gun and seek his revenge... Obviously i do not want to take this lightly so i call the therapist we have been working with and he said if we feel unsafe we have two options 1 we get child services involved where we will be charged with a form of neglect or 2 we can let his biological mom have him. He sees his mother 2 times a month supervised, due to boyfriends sexual abuse and she is unstable.
Neither of these are right i love him as he were my own and i dont want to get rid of him so to speak i just want to help him and understand why he thinks and acts this way. We need to do what is right these are all major signs and i need to protect my daughter as well.
The hospitalization hasnt done anything he has fun and get to play explosive video games and doesnt want to come home from there. therapy hasnt done anything at all.
No one we haved worked with seems to try and help at all so if anyone has any advice it would be appreciated thanks
