Both were messed up emotionally but the oldest (7) was just plain evil!
They had a pet baby pheasant and he doused it with gas and lit it on fire. He pissed in every gas tank of all the equipment on the farm. He raped several little girls that were under 5 years old.
Did I mention that he was only 7?!!
Sorry, the evil little bastard should have been knocked in the head and tossed in a hole. They sent him back to state custody.
I am disgusted and horrified by you BIL’s experience. That is such a shame for them to want to help kids, and end up with emotional monsters. However, I notice that they were dealt with by agencies who help with family’s who can’t cope, and not left to fend for themselves in a strange city airport.
I am not advocating that this woman needed to have a psych kid living in her house if that was truly the case. I am objecting to how she handled it, and how all adopted children are being branded as “not worth the time”.
