We adopted 3 out of the TX foster system. The younger 2 are doing well, they have issues, but the oldest is off the rails.
He ran off constantly and was in acute psychiatric treatment about 15 times saying he wanted to kill himself before we found out about residential treatment. He has been in and out of those for the last 3 years. He has suicidal thoughts, impulsive behavior, self-harms, treats people as objects of entertainment, acts out sexually (without emotional attachment), had aggressive outbursts. He has already said he wants to return to one residential location and be known as the >>>@@@ shooter.
Right now the place he is in wants him gone and we are scrambling to get insurance approval for another round. He will be 18 in 14 months. Our only plan right now is to give him a bus ticket back to TX for his 18th and move in the opposite direction.
We're desperate and stuck.
