He's defective, get your money back.

The state is going to be taking care of him in a few years anyway, what's a couple of extra years.

We could just extend the limits of abortion about 12 years.

This was greenied about a week, ago, but eh, it's an interesting story.

My take: Reactive attachment disorder = permanently damaged. He's too old to be fixed. People who put him up for adoption engaged in fraud and are weasels.

leaving a note "sorry you have to die"

On the positive side, he was considerate enough to leave a note.

Hey has anyone mentioned this was a repeat? Ok cool!
 
2009-12-26 02:08:31 PM
I agree with the parents. If they are afraid for their lives then they should be allowed to NOT take the kid back.
 
2009-12-26 02:08:38 PM
Anyone have a link to the previous thread? Would be interested on reading it.

/Have no clue how far back it was.

had a friend who had a kid like this and it was his biological child. The kid got abandoned anyway. Moral of the story children-behave yourselves or you will be punished...

I'm a little foggy today, but wasn't it Oklahoma that had the 'drop your unwanted kids off here' program?

texdent: Sounds like the movie The Orphan.

Yea, I'm ashamed it took me so long into the movie to figure out the twist at the end. But I like the movie the Bad Seed better. Sure it's an old black and white film but it's really good. The scene where the girl burns the guy up is really evil.

Isn't this a repeat?

But, with so many adoptive parents fighting to be recognized as their child's "real" parents, creating a law that makes adoption less permanent isn't the answer.

Similarly, the state lying about the kids initial condition is not the answer either.

The book scared the crap out of me when I read it when I was young. I didn't know about the movie until years later (it was a Broadway show before that.)

Book also had a better ending--the wife tried to kill herself and daughter. The wife died, the daughter lived. At the end of the book, the husband is telling the daughter how much he adores her, and how happy he is that she's alive. Mom, of course, was evil, because she tried to kill her own daughter.

To this day, when I see evil little sh*ts, I think, "the bad seed."

Can't they drop the little bastard off in Nebraska?
 
2009-12-26 02:20:21 PM
My adoptive parents would have loved this option when I got all teenagery on them.

I probably would have loved it too.

This exact same thing happened to some friends of mine. They adopted a boy at 9 years of age and the kid was severely damaged goods. I don't know all the details, but I think he might have ended up officially back in the state's custody. He tried to burn their house down, he would find creative ways of avoiding the toilet, would bite, kick, scratch, scream abuse and was generally a terror. I know he also used to run away and shack up with some very scary people involved in drugs. Amazingly enough, I think he might have turned out OK. I know he gained a bunch of weight, got married and had a kid of his own. I haven't seen him in years though, so who knows?

In before the mods send this one back !

there is a documentary running on msnbc right now where the parents let the state take the child. harsh perhaps but taking the kid back into the home doesn't sound to safe for the adoptive parents.

i know a couple that planned to adopt a problem kid but, like this kid, he just had too many problems. they opted out of the adoption.

and yeah the state will low ball the problems.

Perhaps a tragic boating accident is in his future. IIRC there's a pretty good sized lake in Oklahoma. Of course, the parents wouldn't have any idea how the boy ended up tangled up in the anchor chain when the boat caught fire, they'd just know they couldn't get to him.
 
2009-12-26 02:26:19 PM
Bummer...kid never should have been adopted to begin with. He didn't develop those issues from the time he left to the time he arrived at his new house...State lied, give him back.

It's really sad some people are like that, but the kid needs to be institutionalized. He's a threat to society and would only end up killing someone if he were let loose.
 
2009-12-26 02:26:26 PM
I was channel surfing a while back, and they had one of those two-way interviews, where the anchor sits in the middle between two sides.

Anyway, one person was a woman from a parent's rights organization or something, the other was Director of Health and Human Services of Oklahoma - a guy who should know EVERYTHING about this case, since it's his decision that was in dispute.

So.... when it comes time for the director to talk, he goes on about how these people get assistance and so forth, but then admits he knows NOTHING about this particular situation. WTF? The kid tried to KILL his adoptive parents, and he knows nothing about it? Did it even occur to him, before going on national TV, to I dunno, maybe REVIEW THE FACTS? Of course, he should have done this before deciding the parents needed to keep their potential killer, too.
