[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 627803, member: 1550"] Can you put him in Day Treatment? My friends adopted two young children (bio. siblngs) and both were heading towards attachment disorder and other issues and were impossible. With help from social services, they were enrolled in a Day Treatment school which was headed by a psychiatrist but had certified teachers. The Day Treatment did absolutely nothing for the little boy, who probably has many issues...they aren't even sure what. Schizophrenia is possible because his birthmother has it, but he has also shown an unnatural interest in young children: "I'm attracted to them" so he can no longer live at home. So it doesn't always work. BUT.... The little girl, who was at one time worse than her brother, who screamed constantly that her mother wasn't her mother, she wanted a black mother (this couple was interracial and the little girl used the race card), and she would not listen to anything and was even distructive in the house...something hit a cord with her in Day Treatment. She slowly started becoming more compliant, more interested in having a decent life, more loving and obedient toward her parents. She is about twelve or thirteen now and is in school sports, doing ok in academics, and best of all behaves well and is attached to her family. It is a joy to see her selling Girl Scout cookies and waving with a big smile that we rarely saw when she was young. The girl is back in regular school with friends and Mom is still in shock two years later.Sadly, the little boy is worse when he visits, but isn't it better that they knew about his interest in young girls? They do have a ten year old daughter who he admitted he was attracted to. He is in a place that keeps him safe and others safe from him, but is not improving.Still, it is a psychiatric facility and he IS constantly getting help. Time will tell if it does the trick. I think it's always better to know what is going on and it's much better to be safe than sorry. Every time I see this little girl, who I held the day she arrived, I just feel so good inside, knowing how far she has come and how far she can go. And the parents did not/could not have paid for the Day Treatment. The State paid for it as they knew about the problems this family was having and their sincere desire to help the children the best they could. Has your daughter involved social services? They can be a pain, but also a lifesaver. [/QUOTE]
