[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 623762, member: 1550"] Wow. I'm sorry. Any chance that he had a very disruptive time in his early years? Birthmother drink or do drugs during pregnancy? This behavior is serious. I had a very dangerous child in my house who we adopted and his early life had been very chaotic and he had reactive attachment disorder. Is this child sexual? All I can say is, the child ended up killing two dogs, sexually abusing our younger kids and being tried in court at age thirteen for abusing a minor (six years younger than him). Wasn't our idea. We just wanted him gone and he has been gone for ten years. I'm thinking your son may have attachment disorder, something professionals often miss. Here is a link about it. SEe what you think and then talk to hub. People who have not lived with a child as dangerous as this may not even be able to relate to the stuff we go through.There are three big red flags for a child who may be heading towards antisocial personality disorder: 1/peeing and pooping inappropriately and in odd places 2/setting fires or fascination with fire 3/ cruelty to animals (which they often hide it and act like they like the animals in front of the parents, but abuse them in private. That is what our kid did). Also the other kids were much younger and so afraid of the things he made them do that he believed that he would kill all of us if they told on him so they didn't, until he was gone. I hope you have no younger kids or pets. I had to scan your post so if I exaggerated, I apologize. I have to go, but will be back later if you want to talk more. Or else, others will come along too. Anyhow, here's the link. Trust your instincts. If it were me, knowing what I know now, I would NOT take custody of that child no matter what. He has behaviors that are far beyond just a regularly difficult or disturbed child. Good luck and poor grandma. [url]http://www.attachment.org/reactive-attachment-disorder/[/url] [/QUOTE]
