[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 494701, member: 1550"] Hi. I don't have a chance to read all of the other responses, so hope this isn't redundant. Did your stepson have a very chaotic infancy and toddlerhood where perhaps there was more than one caregiver or he was handed back and forth from person-to-person...or his caregiver was unstable and did not give him consistent love? Has he been thrown around a lot by maybe biological mom...from person to person? Abused? I read fast...did mother's boyfriend sexually abuse him? If so, he is a risk to his sister...to act out on her and please never leave them unsupervised in the same room alone. I agree with Malika. This is a very disturbed child. Without going into the sad history, I know a lot about kids who have serious attachment disorders and lack conscience/attachment/ability to act in a socially acceptable way. There are three main red flags for children who are heading for antisocial disorders: 1/peeing and pooping inappropriately and in inappropriate places 2/ fascination with/playing with fire 3/cruelty to animals. Your stepson has at least two of these symptoms. I am in too big a hurry to have finished (so sorry!) and don't know if he pees or poops inappropriately, but it is scary enough that he does these other two things. Do you feel safe in your house? Can you give us a history of this child? He sounds like he could be suffering from serious attachment problems due to perhaps a very chaotic early life...???? Hugs...hang in there. We care and will try to help. [/QUOTE]
