[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 44235, member: 1550"] I would stick with a Psychiatrist. They have the MD's. And no matter what the current label is (and, yes, it could change), he's on the right sort of medications. Geodon is an anti psychotic. Hopefully it will help his hallucinations. Word of warning: We had a child we adopted at age eleven and he sexually abused our two younger kids, probably because he'd been abused himself, but he has no memory of it. He abused them badly, and we had no clue that it was going on. Yes, we feel guilty and stupid, but he was really sneaky and he terrified the little kids. My daughter was three and my son was eight and he said he'd burn the house down and kill us all if they told, so they didn't. Unless you can watch Tim 24/7, you don't know how often or how much he is "touching" the other kids. I'd put an alarm on his door at night so it wakes you if he leaves the room and never allow him alone with the kids, even outside to play. I know this sounds extreme, but you just can't really know with a child who acts out sexually. We were not only taken by surprise (and devestated), but it took his being gone one full year before the other kids told us and their therapists the horrific extent of the abuse. At first, they told us he just did it two times, then it became three, then it became a nightmare--it must have happened too many times for my eight year old to count.
