when I read the title.. I was less then enthused about reading it..

in fact I almost didn't..

but these young adults, often smart but dysfunctional are killing to often these days..

a family from church fostered and adopted a child.. a child diagnosed early with fetal alcohol syndrome, and possibly addicted to crack.

he was a bit slow.. but often nice and pleasant to be around.. but we soon learned like his family that he had no real control..

his parents were decent people , religious, and not overly strict.. with the child they kept his schedule and worked with him.. by all accounts he came along way..

as a teen he decided to burn the house down.. and almost did.. while it wasn't the worst thing he did it was the one that 'woke" up the family..

They soon found out there is no real meaningful help when a child with mental and behavior problems grows up.. you can medicate and educate.. and try to protect the teen but not much else..

now he is an adult.. most of the time polite and easy to deal with..

I can understand this parents situation.. there isn't alot a parent can do thanks to the ACLU and all those bleeding hearts ..
