I don’t doubt that perhaps this child was a handful or even violent, BUT you don’t just give up on a child in that manner. If this had been her biological child, I doubt anyone would have any sympathy for her, and it is untelling what tragedy this child has seen in his homeland.
This alleged mother sent this child alone to Russia to be picked up by someone whose references she read online and is fortunate the child didn’t end up murdered! I didn’t read anywhere where the mother sought any sort of psychatric help for the child.
I understand it can be difficult, and trying, but something about this lady’s side of the story just doesn’t ring 100% true to me. She didn’t contact the agency - she found a lawyer online? She checks the driver out online? Does she not have a phone? And now her mother, not her, is defending her to CNN.
I realize not everyone sees the world the same way I do, but I just couldn’t imagine giving up on one of my dogs that I’ve rescued, much less a human child!
Read the story again. GRANDMOTHER did all of this and talks about HER ability to parent. There’s something rotten here (besides the obvious terrible treatment of a child).

Peole give their damaged bio children to the state often. There used to be homes for these children where they were cared for, nothing fancy but no one suffered. These days they are bounced from one theraputic foster home to another and lots of “professionals” make monies off of them courtesy of the state.
