“Knock it off, there are some situations that can not be worked out by love. This Girl had been through hell and while the mother should have stuck with it *eagerly* a bit longer than ‘weeks’ before becoming discouraged there is no guarantee this child would have been happy anywhere.”

It takes more than love. It takes PATIENCE and UNDERSTANDING.

This utopian couldn’t get past HERSELF. It was ALL about HER and this imaginary world she wanted to create without giving of HERSELF as this little girl needed.

Three weeks is NOTHING in the world of a SEVEN year old girl. This “mother” needs to get a pet - not a human being that’s been kicked around.

And even with that there is no guarantee any kid, even your own, is going to grow up OK. Sometimes the nature is so bad/broken no nurture will completely mitigate it. I am not saying that this is the case with this little girl but a blanket statement that any failure of a kid is the parents failure is just incorrect..
