[QUOTE="nlj, post: 640225, member: 17650"] Hello Mya You are in a difficult situation because you are this boy's step-mother, not his birth-mother. In the UK this would mean that you do not have parental responsibilty. Any decisions about your step-son's mental health care and living arrangements, be that fostering or any other options, would have to be taken by your husband as he is the boy's father. My thoughts would be that this is probably the case in the US also, as it would be in most countries. Very litle has been said by you about his father's views and input into this terrible situation. Could you share with us what is happening between your husband and his son and between you and your husband? The buck stops with him, not you, although in your position if my husband did not take responsibility and act in everyone's best interests then I would have to consider removing my own son from the home until it was made safe.
