[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 729368, member: 1550"] It is far harder with littles. Then in my opinion the littles must come first. A diagnoses is always a crapshoot. To me it doesn't matter what it is called. Or why. If a person is capable of trying to seriously and insideously kill another, rob you of all you have, hurt you in anger, abuse children, kill animals etc. they are currently unsafe living in a family and probably being out in society. Even if they have a secondary disorder too, we all deserve to be safe. Whether it is jail, residential living or group homes, unsafe people need alternative living until/unless they become safe. The child we had was a child but more dangerous than most grown men. He met all the criteria for ASPD. Only his age changed the diagnosis. The deeds he did were still as dangerous as if he were 25. We really didn't care what they called his behavior...he continued to act up even in residential and if we had not asked CPS to take him, he liked to play with fire and often told the littles he would burn down the house with us in it if they told on him....he may have done it. I know a once foster mom whose eight year old foster son DID burn their house down and they lived in a motel until it could be rebuilt. He also had threatened to burn down the house but nobody took it seriously because of his age. Bottom line. Take care of yourself around dangerous people. Love yourself enough to do that. [/QUOTE]
