Linny, I'm with Bromanchik, what SHOULD BE and what IS are rarely in the true best interest of innocent children. His behavior will not (likely) change, I've known too many like him who continue this behavior. I'm sick and tired of the headlines of sexual predators, scores of them, that continue their behavior over and over and over again and countless children are left in their wake. If I were you, I'd go as far as I could to make certain this child is never adopted into a family with younger children.

FallenChild: I would assume you've never tried to parent a hurt child, one that sexually perpetrates on others. I would assume you've never worked as hard as Linny has to keep all of the children in your home safe. I would assume, like our family, you have not had to let go of a child you loved deeply, in the best interest of the other children in your home because, NO MATTER HOW CLOSELY AND CAREFULLY YOU WATCHED, the tenacity of these children to set up a situation where they can perpetrate, is quite unbelievable!!!!! It's so easy to judge others when we haven't been in their shoes but that likely will never change, will it?????????????????
