A was placed in a group foster setting where he seem to find himself with more problems. He was fighting with other foster children. There were anger outburst,and he was unable to control his emotions.

C learned that her son A would not be allowed back to the home while the other children lived there. So, she had to choose between her children. The most unimaginable thing a mother could face. She was told if her son did return home to her that they would remove her other children, or her husband could move out with the other children. She knew that if A returned home, she could not be sure that she could prevent him from abusing his siblings.

This mother had to make a horrible life changing choice. She had to let her first born child go to the foster care system to protect her other children. It broke her heart to have to let her son go and give up hope for him to return home. Her son ended up being placed in an ongoing wilderness camp for severely troubled teens. C and her husband were allowed to continue visiting their son on visiting weekends. A was not allowed visits or contact with any of his siblings.

The sins of the father became the sins of the son, which ended up destroying a family forever. The strange thing is during this time, C’s ex-husband was released from prison and moved back to the same town his ex-wife and children lived. So, the reality is the father ended up doing six years for sexually abusing his young children, but his son was permanently removed from his family.

Children that suffer ongoing long term sexual abuse need ongoing counseling or therapy. This is the only way they stand a chance of getting beyond the abuse and not letting it overcome them. We have to stop the victims from becoming the predators.
