[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 492986, member: 1550"] It's Wisconsin and they adopted him from another state. He has already been in RTCs but only for very short periods of time. I think they would agree to put him in long term placement (I will discuss this with Friend as she is begging for advice), but since he hasn't abused anyone yet (that they know of), that's the question. And, no, they can not afford an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) without help. He is already in the juvie justice system for other things and maybe, even at his young age, this could help them? I don't know, do you? The boy does not act upset that he is attracted to little girls. He talks about it matter-of-factly and has told his psychiatrist who is alarmed but hasn't done much yet other than to change his medications (again). Since one of our adopted sons abused my younger two, and we didn't know about it, I am as concerned as she is because her youngest is almost like my own. And I know that abuse is not something kids will readily discuss or disclose, even to parents. [/QUOTE]
