I've called our psychologist and she is talking to her supervisor, she mentioned that an investigation may need to happen, not sure what happens to my stepson after an investigation but after all this stuff happened I was already googling psychiatric holds...I am so worried that he is a danger to my stepdaughter in so many ways, not to mention as many of you already know it's not necessarily an ideal environment for a easy child to grow up in either.
On my husbands way home from picking up the kids last night (they spent the week at their grandparents) difficult child thought it would be funny to lift up his shorts and show his sister his penis (all this happened while my husband was sitting right in front of him), we grounded him for the week and sent him to bed. I then had a talk with Zera the next morning, it turns out that difficult child had been very forceful with her at their grandparents place, including grabbing and making her go into the bed with him, and at one time even came in the room when she was changing and touched her vagina.
The psychologist mentioned natural curiosity but the thing is that this has been going on for a year, not to the point of touching but he is guilty of very inappropriate behaviors with his sister and we have gone over boundaries over and over, he's not responding to us and keeps taking things further. My husband has considered having the talk with him but is concerned that once he knows what it's for he might try and use it on her.
We've been told that until they can give us an answer about what is going to happen that he needs to be supervised 24/7, which is fine for most of the week because I took it off to prep them for school, but I work tomorrow and they were supposed to go to a daycamp which the psychologist doesn't want him going to now because he won't be getting the monitoring he needs and could be a danger to other kids. So now I need to figure if I can take that day off, between all his appts and not being able to find proper childcare for him I fear I'm going to lose my job. I know he would benefit from having somebody home 24/7 however my husband is only a 2nd year apprentice and until he's a journeyman living on one income is just not an option for us. I'm looking into government benefits but I don't know if they consider him a true disability.
