I would not leave your 4 yr old alone with the older girl and would be temped to have her remove especially because she is already acting out on the 1 yr old.

We had to put him in our car and drive him ourselves to the new foster home. He knew them because they have done respite for us in the past. He thought he was just going to spend a couple days. I didn't have the heart to tell him he wasn't coming back. I just couldn't do it. I know I should of, but I couldn't. It was the hardest thing I have ever been through. His sister figured out quickly that he wasn't coming back. She just sobbed No Mamma, why Momma. I told her not to cry in front of the 5 year old because it will scare him and he will not want to go to the new foster home. She acted up terribly the whole way, but she didn't let him see her cry. She jumped in the car of the new foster family and wouldn't get out. It was horrible!!! My son doesn't realize that the 5 year old is gone for good either. Even though that happened they played together all the time and he already asks when the 5 year old is coming back. Monday starts the investigation. I feel sick to my stomach. I didn't think about the 10 year old doing things to the 5 year old. I told her why he had to be moved and she looked at me and said, Is that wrong? Maybe you are right. Maybe I should have her removed also. They asked me if that was what I wanted and at first I said yes, but then my agency talked me out of it. I feel so guilty, like I have done something wrong by having him removed, even though I know I did the right thing, I can't shake that guilty feeling.
