Here's a link to one of the stories.

here's the one where the adoptions specialist said that social services PROBABLY wouldn't help you, but like I said, DHR or whatever TN's version of it is should have been contacted at the least to find a best way to handle this situation.

I get that this kid was violent and you fear for your safety -- I really do, but you find alternatives. Kids draw pictures of things they have been through -- who's to say this kid at 7 had not been through his home burning and that is what is part of his mental instability. With his age and his being from Russia -- I'm sure there was a language barrier and she might not have understood exactly what the kid was trying to tell her about the picture. If she didn't seek true psychiatric help for the child and counseling -- how could she know that he is not just misunderstood? If she had physical proof of violence and documentation etc -- she might get away with this, but if it's just that she didn't want the child anymore she's in more trouble now than before.
