You can't live your life on what if's. You'll drive yourself crazy. You need to consider all of the FACTS and go from there. All of us are going by our own experiences which really doesn't help you at all because each child is different and each situation is different. I'm obviously the only one that feels the way i do about it. lol but that's o.k. i've stood alone before.
You need to discuss this with your husband, the child's therapist, social worker and yes all of us..*S* Gather what you can from it and make a decision on what you think is best for all of u. Yes this child has the potential to act out again. But by judging his pattern it's only been on his sister which is a GIRL. So that would tell me that he has no interest in boys. He is a 10 year old child, he is so young. He's not a sex fein monster people hes a child. Someone has to help him. All of you take risks when you take in any child that has been abused. Any of these children can act out in an abusive way. But how many actually has. You are all freaked out because this particular child was a sexually abused child. so therefore everyone thinks he will abuse. That is so not true. Yes I know he did with his sister, but most likely that was what the grandpa probably had him do.
How many of you have taken in children that were physically abused, mentally abused, neglected, ect. ect. Did you put your children at risk?
God be with you on this.
