[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 352835, member: 1233"] Whatever problems the boy had, there is NO excuse for just sending the child back, alone and abandoned (that is how he must have felt at the very least), like a puppy. NO EXCUSE. While the reports of children adopted from overseas being killed are sad, I wonder how many US children adopted here are killed every year? I think that might help put things into some kind of perspective. NOT that it is EVER acceptable to murder a child, adopted or not. What is it that made these people think they could just send him back like a toaster that didn't work? It seems so ridiculous to me. Did they contact social services? What did social services tell them? Sadly, I can easily see the SW's who work in our county telling adoptive parents that since the child was not US born then the child had to go back to his country of origin rather than our social services system. I wonder if the budget crisis led anyone to tell this to the parents? Really, though, what kind of IDIOT does this? Maybe the treaty about international adoptions will be a good thing. Maybe not. I am just surprised it hasn't happened before this. Maybe with a treaty the adoptive parents will be given information into what the child has gone through as far as living conditions, etc... Is the US the only country that does these international adoptions? Or just the only country that publicizes them? Why did the airline agree to take an unaccompanied minor on an overseas flight with little info about the party on the other end? I bet they are going to take some heat also. When my folks looked into taking Wiz overseas I had to fill out a TON of info for the airline. He was a teenager and was accompanied and STILL I had to say who would be on the other end with him! How did the Gma just stick the kid on the airplane in the care of the flight attendant? Makes you wonder about people, doesn't this? [/QUOTE]
