I fear for my life and the lives of my sons at the hand of our adopted daughter. We are told all of Magellian's programs are "intent to return home".They have returned her 6 times and each time the violance gets worse. This time I wound up in the hospital and my husbands toe was broken. But how do we fix a broken system? Where do we turn?<br />KathyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920527740912786210.post-49064242986327061782013-03-06T22:30:35.146-05:002013-03-06T22:30:35.146-05:00I too understand what you are saying.

Our 12 year old spent 7 months in various facilities last year including three months in state hospital and 2 months in Juvie. She stabbed her Dad with an ink pen and threatens to kill me. I sleep at night with her on a palat beside me with a velcro strap attached to her ankle and mine so that I will wake if shegets up just so that everyone can stay safe. She is on her second stay in psych hospital this year right now. Post adoption services has finally decided that she needs to be in a RTC but can not find any one that will take her because she is a perpetrator and only 12. We have had her 6 years and every year is just worse. What makes it worse is we have her 8 year old sister that is following in her footsteps. We take it day by day and would not be able to survive if not for our faith.

I am willing to network and do what I can because right now the whole system for children with Mental Health issues and emotional, behavioral, social and attachment issues could be helped in better ways, I think it is going to require Parents to make it happen. I am hoping a new website I am trying to create might become a place for some productive information and direction for some changes.

The issue is that the center that was to provide the inhome services do not have any therapists that are familar with RAD children or attachment disorders. I have cried and cried over this issue and just tonight came from visiting my daughter as she is in for another assessment after threatening to kill her baby sister and me ....We do not know what to do. I also agree we mothers need o stand together and work to get the issue of RAD noticed, affirmed and understood by all.

Our daughter is in an out of state facility that specializes in Rad but it appears that our state has decided no more kids get to go. Our state's treatment centers do not address RAD. Today moms from our area are meeting with the decision makers,Magellan. Can I show them your blog? It is powerful. It is time to say no more moms being killed. We met with our local leglators.
