[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 165328, member: 1550"] Hon, we told the schools, friends and family the bald, awful truth. It was amazing at all the sympathy we got. People who cared were great. I did get a "I told you not to adopt all these kids" from my dad, but, in general, he was compassionate and is close to my other kids, four who are also adopted. To others I just said, "He was too disturbed to live in a family. He didn't know how and it was just causing him to act out and upsetting the other kids." Anyone who pushed for more got "It's private. You do understand, I know." In our case, once he left we never planned on seeing him again so we didn't have to deal with him coming back nor protect his reputation. He wasn't going to live in our area ever again. We have no idea where he is now. Since he's eighteen, he's probably on the loose somewhere in maybe Green Bay (the last place I heard he lived) and this scares me. He was sooooooo dangerous.
