[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 712985, member: 1550"] Sounds a lot like attachment disorder. The kids who develop this had severe breaks in the first three years from their major loved ones and have difficulty caring about people and rules and tend to have no conscience. They are dangerous. Or can be. Clearly your son is. Did his father leave abruptly in his first three years? Any chaos at the time besides the fire? Any losses? Put "reactive attachment disorder" in your search engine. Its common in adopted kids who were adopted at older ages, but is also seen when parents divorce early and there is chaos, abuse and sometimes no one consistent caregiver. Its a hard disorder to get diagnosed, treat and often the kids need 24/7 monitoring in a mental healthcare residential facility. One psychiatric hospitsl visit isnt enough. Where is Dad in his life? Thete are three red flags in childhood that indicate budding antisocial behavior. One is fascination with fire. Two is cruelty to animals. Third is inappropriate pooping and peeing. Also common is inappropriate sexual acting out. We adopted a boy who was like that.in the end he had to leave. We found out he had been terrorizing and molesting our much younger kids. We didnt learn the extent of it until he was gone. He did not feel remorse. He was finally diagnosed when taken to a residential home for young sexual predators with Severe Reactive Attachment Disorder. He was thirteen and finally in serious trouble with the law. Be careful. Our younger kids were too scared of him to tell us what he was doing as he threatened to kill us all if they told. So it went on quite a while. Your son in my opinion may do best in out of home treatment. The other kids are important too. They could get PTSD from living with him.You dont want the others to suffer because of him when he can be treated more effectively elsewhere. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
