FAS can often produce a "child without a conscience". My bet is that this kid is sheer evil--abusing his siblings, destroying property, etc. That Carry_Okie hasn't met this kid because the parents can't bring him to church is quite telling. I have heard of caregivers who would never otherwise hurt a fly resort to chaining FAS kids to bed every night so they can get some sleep; they can be that violent & destructive.

Knowing so little about the situation, I'm not passing judgment, but FAS children make me question my anti-encouraged-sterlization stance. 75-85%+ of all prisoners have FAS.

That's possible, but we don't have enough information to make that assumption. We do know that the kid is supposed to have RAD. Since none of us are there, we can't decide what the best course is in this case.

I'm just concerned about the possibility that some of the more, shall I say, unorthodox therapies are being used here. If that is the case, then CPS has a legitimate reason to thoroughly investigate.

Perhaps we'll learn more. Perhaps not.
