“The only mentally unstable peson in Nurse Cratched who adopted this child.
what a monster she is.”
No, she was desperate. She tried to get state agencies involved, had the kid in psychiatric care, the kid went after her with a knife and threatened to kill her, and kept the knife under his bed, if I remember correctly. I’m pretty close hear as to what was going on. So many Russian children are affected by fetal alcohol syndrome, due to their parents, especially their fathers, drinking vodka like soda pop. This kid is violent and unmanageable, and a gullible American woman, not knowing what she was getting, got a lemon that was most likely intentionally pawned off on her. There have been warnings to be extremely careful if adopting a Russian child because of them having so many mental and emotional problems, as well as physical impairments brought about by the alcohol syndrome. I feel extremely sorry for this woman who was at her wit’s end and thus was driven to this extreme measure for fear to her own life.

The kids lucky she didn't poison him.

I think most of us would have a problem living with a child who was attacking us with a knife. It’s easy to condemn the mother but I’m not sure we’d handle it any better.
Oh man, this thread was humming along so beautifully, pointing out what a witch the adopted mother is, and then you had to chime in with the rest of the story.
Are you sure you don’t want the mods to delete your post? You are making some of the earlier posters look like witches.
I was in Moscow in '94 and IIRC vodka was less expensive than bottled water.
