Please Read and Give the Best Advice you can please.. thank you. Sorry for being so long.
I have a 5 year old son. He is ADHD , but not on medication yet. I want them to start with a low amount and find the perfect dose. He has to be doing something all the time. He is so smart and well behaved in school or out in public with my husband. I want to give a little more back story so you moms understand the situation better. I don't want to put to much detail though.
When you have a child in foster care, that baby automatically gets put in the system with you.
As they delivered him, dcs was fixing to move me to another home after I was discharged with baby b. I got an allowance every month and I would spend it all on him. I didn't want anyone raising him, I made that decision. I wanted to start work, but after a few weeks at the new home she tried killing my child. I called dcs but couldn't get ahold of someone so late. I packed my things and my child things and called my social worker who came and got me. There was another child I had to get out of that home. She drowned her daughter in a pool. Dcs needs to do better background checks. After a few days, the other child was removed. I was sent to another home with my baby. At this point, I didn't trust anyone. I haven't been around school in months, but had to protect my child. I couldn't stop moving so much to even attend school. After a year at the new home, I started trusting them. I went back to school and started working. I graduated that year. (I was only a freshman) so they talked with me and wanted to adopted me into the family. They told me I would get custody of my son if I did and they would be my family. I always wanted a family. So i agreed and got adopted. After the adoption, I didn't have custody of my son. They did and they started raising him the way they wanted to and I didn't have a say. I had no rights. So two months later, I married my husband. They wouldn't let me see him. Made excuses up why I couldn't, etc. I finally saved up enough money and took them to court. They brought him to my home a month before court and told me they couldn't handle him than a week before court they call the cops and demand him back. I had no choice but to send him back with her. It broke his heart into a million pieces and I couldn't do anything. When we went to court, they made me look so bad in front of the judge. I won and got him (he was fixing to turn 3) and I was pregnant with my second child. (We was using birth control and it failed) wasn't even suppose to have children to begin with. Not complaining, I love both of my boys. I didn't speak to them after court. They was suppose to be my family and love me. They only wanted my baby, and they didn't get their way. I was young and they tricked me. After a year and half, my son started talking about them. They are his family even if I don't want them to be. He loves them. So you have a little of his background, now here is my problem.
So about 4 months after he turned four, I let him visit and rarely let him spend a night. After a few months, everything was great. He loved spending every minute he could with them. I don't want to take that from him, but he started acting different (touching his brother inappropriately) so I thought maybe he is curious. Then other things happened that I knew he wouldn't know. So I called dcs to my home and her's to investigate. Also took him to child advocacy center to be interviewed. He wouldn't talk to them (strangers). Dcs closed the case after 4 months and put him in therapy to see if he would say anything. ( Didn't let him visit until case was closed and they was cleared) he stopped doing what he was doing, I explained that there is good touch and bad touch and that was a bad touch and explained we don't do things like that to your brother. We keep our hands to ourselves. so it stopped. He begged me to go and visit so I talked with adopted mother and she agreed to keep close eye on him. Now, two months after everything, he is worse. I was taking a picture of garden and found picture of him trying to take of himself naked and picture of him holding his private area and picture of his privates. I was furious when I found them , but didn't say anything to him, I deleted them and let it be. Yesterday, i was in the bathroom with the door open and I can see into the his bedroom. They was playing and laughing, than I heard my youngest son scream out into pain. I didn't care about wiping, I took of running into there room. He had his brother's diaper off, glove on his hand trying to put his fingers in his brothers butt. My youngest son was in so much pain I took him to the doctor and told them everything. I even called the Dcs worker back and told her there is something going on and to investigate again. She told me that there wasn't anything to worry about, they was cleared. I haven't let my oldest son go back and he is begging and I have a gut feeling something bad has happened to him and he is doing it to his brother. They shared a room, but I moved the youngest one in my room for his safety. I don't allow them to bath together anymore. Counselors can't find anything wrong, and he won't talk about it. They don't even know if something has happened or not but no one will listen to me. What should I do? What can I do? If dcs won't do anything, then who will? I don't want to talk to him about it and someone think I'm coaching him. No one wants to help me, but I know something is wrong. It has to be someone at adopted mother when he spends the night. When he is home, we don't have any company and we don't visit anyone. I am with both of them all the time and I know what goes on at all times, but Dcs told me there was a lot of people coming and going. No one is going to admit anything, I know this. But something isn't right. Sorry for being so long didn't want to leave anything out. Please tell me what I should do. My youngest son stays with me at all times, no matter what I'm doing or what room in the house I'm in. He isn't out of my sight and my oldest is always being watched. What if he doesn't something to a child at school? I don't want any parent going through this. Please don't judge me please. He has been through a lot and I know this isn't "exploring" like everyone wants to tell me. A 5 year old little boy shouldn't know this even "exploring his body". They stopped counseling because they couldn't find anything. To them, nothing is wrong. But I know something is.
Thank you for reading, sorry it's long.
Oh wow im in shock testing this please keep us updated... this is all so very sad and i can't imagine how u may be feeling
Thank you ladies so much . Just feel alone in this. He has an appointment with his pediatrician going this morning so hopefully something gets done.
Have you asked him where he saw things like those being done? Exploring his body is one thing, taking pictures of himself is another, touching his brother is just out there, but putting on gloves to insert his finger in his brother's rectum? These are learned behaviors. Ask him where he learned to do these things.
My heart grieves for you mom, no child should have to experience this, that their innocence stolen from them. No parent should feel the way you do. I wouldn't let him go back to adoptive parents home, have them come to your home, hang out with them anywhere... I wouldn't even let him talk to them on the phone
I wouldn't send him back unless its court ordered. He may be mad but it's in his best interest not to go. Document everything! Weird unusual behaviors after visits. There is different types of counseling that the child advocacy center should be able to refer you to free of charge.
Yea I’d try another therapist. Good luck lady. Hope all works out for you guys.
Local rape crisis centers offer services for you the parent and the child, I hope this helps just a little bit. Those secondes should be free no insurance needed
My heart breaks for you mama and I hope that people do listen to you and help you with your concerns please call you local rape crisis center or call the national hotline

Yes, he is 5. I can't get him into a specialist because he is so young. I've tried to get the pediatrician to order for it, I had to get so much from his pediatrician just so he could see a therapist to tell me nothing has happened to my child. It hard to explain why he can't see them. He is so mad with me because I won't let him go, but I'm doing it to protect him. Thank you 4thbabyontheway. I should have never trusted anyone with my child.
@mary109 yes I know it hurts u alot but ur youngest need protection and the oldest needs help ur oldest like 5 right? He needs to see a specialist not a therapist someone whos bigger than a therapist
@mary109 fuk!! Excuse my language but that's insane this is why the world is corrupted can't help no one when there's a problem and keep trying fuk it keep bugging the cops keep filling for court look up online who else besides dcfs and cops to help u someone need to help u all I can say is keep praying keep ur head up do wat u doing now
@4thbabyontheway, I have to protect my youngest child and I shouldn't have to. An innocent child shouldn't go through this. I know my oldest feels some kind of way because I won't let them play together if I'm busy doing house work, I keep the youngest on my hip. I shouldn't have to do this to my child. It hurts me and makes me sick.
@4thbabyontheway I'm in TN, I didn't take them to court about this. I took them to court to get him back after tricking me into adoption. This is recent. DCS is a joke. Police won't do anything. I can't fill anything at the court house because i have no proof of this happening. I haven't let him visit anymore but he needs help. No one is on my side!
OK 1 dcfs are assholes if you seen weird things going on with ur child and explain what's going on they should do something bout it something happen with the adopted parents forgot if I said u took them to court bout it or not buy u should file for court bout it someone needs to help u with ur child there is no way a child and ur other child go thru w.e they're going thru even u like wth is going on with the dam system? Where u stay at?
A 5yo touching himself isn't alarming
However, it would NEVER dawn on my son to photograph himself. He is curious about his sister but he's never even given an indication that he would touch her in any way.
Those actions aren't on track.
TRUST YOUR GUT
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Almost lost my s*** on this rude lady...
My son threw a horrid tantrum at Target; it started in the bathroom. He was yelling and hitting me, screaming he had to potty even though he had literally just gone. After 10 minutes of him hitting me, screaming, kicking, and rolling on the floor, I yanked his pants up and had to get our quick trip done. He was kicking me and pulling my hair, so I just held onto him and whispered and tried to calm him. He's never done this before. It took 5 minutes to ...
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
My son pediatrician order for him to see another therapist (in home this time). The pediatrician finally believes me. He said something while we were there about someone than stopped talking and changed the subject. I can't describe how I am feeling. My emotions are all over the place. I just want someone to help my child because I know something is wrong! If it comes out to the therapist that my son has been touched or whatever has happened. DCS won't have shit to stand on, excuse my language. DCS doesn't do there job, they was so quick to close my case because they couldn't find anything wrong, but no one is going to admit to it. That's why this situation needs to be investigated. I'm so angry with the system. Thank you ladies.
