[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 288269"] I am so very sorry for the pain you and your family have experienced. I think MW mom has made excellent points. Surely, your other children have a right to safety. I would do whatever you can to make sure this child stays in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC). See about "adoption aftercare services." In the mean time, I would watch your children 24/7...but would shout from the rooftops that you want and need LONG TERM residential services immediately...you have a crisis sitiuation. Depending on the severity of it all and your personal situation, I would even consider terminating your adoption. (I forgot the legal term for this). Consider hiring an attorney. This is beyond tragic. However, it would only be made worse not to help those innocent other children. And they will likely know in their sub conscious that real efforts were not made to protect them if this boy stays in the home. You have an obligation to keep him away. I have an adopted child...one with different issues. Therapy and medication has made some improvements, over many many years. It has been a long, very tiring and very difficult road for our entire family and continues to be a challenge. There has been some progress, but it has been only in small increments. Please keep in mind, that our child, does NOT have the severerity or the dangerously impacting diagnosis that this child has. My heart goes out to you. As MW mentioned, your child could be suffering from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS)...and this could lead to a severe form of Conduct Disorder. Please consider re-reading what MW has to say...it seems she had a similar experience. [/QUOTE]
