pretty cowardly way to go about it

he's not a defective product that needs to be mailed back to the supplier, he's till a human being

That's very true.

If the people can't cope with the kid, he's likely better elsewhere. Perfectly decent people can be unable to cope with very traumatised kids...their placements break down all the time, sadly.

But it seems to have been disgusting, the way they did it. Yikes!

As for FOUR days with a kid.....what a joke! The really difficult behaviour usually emerges a long time after that.

They told the paper that Mrs. Hansen
spent four full days with Artem under the eye of adoption workers
before she was allowed to adopt him.

. I haven't read enough to be sure. but I think that kid may be beyond help.

Abandoned by his alcoholic mother,

The four day period mentioned in your opening post:

I see; thank u.

Is there anything in particular that moved u to suspect
that Art is beyond professional help ?

(Let me say that I intuit the same suspicion,
but my lack of psychological training renders my intuitions worthless.)

We don't KNOW he has foetal alcohol syndrome, do we?

I thought of it as soon as I read alcoholic mother, but has it actually been diagnosed?

i lived with those symptoms my enepheaw had it

he died of his own hand age 15

It's interesting to me that people who have seen these behaviors up close and personal don't doubt the women's story.

And that they think help is so easy to find.

It's tragic about your nephew.

Apparently, if the Russians diagnosed it,
thay did not reveal that diagnosis.
