[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you ever felt threatened by any of your foster children? I've thought about fostering, but we have small children and I worry that some children coming from a very disturbed environment could act out in a violent way. [/quote] We only take kids younger than our own, and only began after our kids could talk. I have definitely slept with one eye open with some kids. There are three times when I get very nervous with foster children - one is right when they're about to arrive, one is when whoever has brought them has left and one is right before I open the bedroom door in the morning. DH and I are pretty good at hustling the kids along throughout the day, asking closed-choice questions, and keeping control. We don't have 17 year old 6 foot angry man-boys raging here. [/quote] I was going to ask this question as well, because my MIL's house was destroyed from top to bottom by a teenage foster child. Very sad situation. [/quote]
