Good observation.Jim Beaux wrote:One of the articles I read re: this stated that this boy had been adopted "a few years ago". If so this changes all the dynamics.
Kids core values are set by the age of 8 and there is not much that can be done to change them, and due to late life adoption there wouldn't be as strong a familial bond.
I have found the most "knowledgeable experts"on child rearing are people who have no children or their children have not yet seen their 21rst bday.
Those parents who have had kids who have passed their 21st birthdays don't call themselves experts - just survivors or casualties.....
