[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 411815, member: 1991"] If they try to suggest that your other kids need to be removed, point out that you have refused to take C home because you are PROTECTING your other kids. If you let C come back home, THEN maybe it would be more valid to suggest removal of the other kids, for their safety. But to threaten you and your other kids' placement with you, because you are trying to keep them safe - unacceptable. Stand your ground and say so. Ask the person who tells you this, what he/she would do if they had a violent child in the home who attacks other family members including the other kids, someone who can't be left unsupervised because of the real and present danger she presents to the other kids. What would they do in your shoes? And if they say, "I would take her home, of course," ask them to really think through how they could guarantee the safety of their own children, and their pets, when a child like this gets up in the middle of the night and roams the house. tell them that you want the benefit of their wisdom, because you have run out of ideas. All suggestions welcome, please. I have at times found that when I turn the scenario back to the personal ("How would you handle it?") the objections to my methods evaporate away. Marg [/QUOTE]
