[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The alternatives are not that great. Foster care is the alternative and that is not risk free. Can the village not help more?[/quote] I don’t feel like foster care for her is the best option. But they are so keen on keeping the boy in the home and focus on him 100%, [b]I feel like it shouldn’t be her who is always being dropped off with friends and relatives[/b]. We’d have her longterm honestly. If the parents were ok with it. She’s between us, another friend and grandparents mostly. [/quote] What other option do you think these parents have? I doubt there are friends and family willing to take a large, violent 9 year old boy. Would you welcome him into your home so she can stay with her parents? Doubtful (which I understand). But there’s a reason your invitation to help with childcare extends to the sweet easy girl and not the mentally ill boy. I feel so bad for this family.[/quote]
