Defected children?
Okay so... the other day I'm browsing YouTube like I usually do and I come across a video about a woman from the States who adopted a little Russian boy. Today I get a comment reply to the comment I posted from a woman clearly raging about what I had to say. Before getting into that, I will give a brief background history on this whole issue at hand...
A woman named Torry-Ann Hanson from Tennessee adopted a boy from a Siberian orphanage and about a year later sent the 7 year old boy- Artem Saveliev- back to Russia on a plane by himself with a note in his hand that was to be given to the orphanage demanding his adoption to be annulled. Now I'm sorry, but I don't think you're supposed to just send the child you adopted who is now YOUR child, who's in YOUR care back to the orphanage you adopted him from because he had "mental defects". He isn't a product you bought at your local department store... you don't get a refund.
Funny thing is, according to the orphanage Torry-Ann was supervised for 4 days with the child before being allowed to adopt. According to the Chief Adoption Officer, there was a mutual affection between the two. So after spending 4 days with the child, you didn't see that "severe psychopathic issues and behaviorism" that you claim he had after a year in your care? Only issue the child possessed in the care of the orphanage was that his mother was striped of her right to parent Artem due to her alcoholism issue.
Not only did this women send a 7 year old boy on a plane by himself because she felt that he wasn't what she wanted, but authorities also suspected that she had paid a man to meet Artem at the air port and bring him back to Russia. You have to have mental issues yourself, or just a gaping hole where your heart should be if you had the nerve to pay off a stranger to deliver the child you no longer want, back to a place that obviously wasn't giving him much opportunity.
Now that the story is out the way... the comment I had posted on this video in a short sum-up just stated that she was in the complete wrong for sending a child alone on a plane after adopting him, giving him her last name, promising a better life, etc. There are other options out there for children that are believed to have mental issues. And sometimes children who are adopted have distance issues, and trouble attaching themselves to a new family or lashing out by being stubborn and 'bratish' for a lack of better term. This lady replied to my comment saying the following
"Distant?Obviously,you've never had a mentally ill child burn down your home while your family sleeps! I have! I challenge you to go to russia & pick him up & bring him back & do ALL of these wonderful things for him before you can accomplish his recovery without getting killed 1st & ANYONE ELSE that "claims" they can do it before you cut this woman down! Let's SEE who steps up to the plate! You can only be burnt to death just once.You talk the talk,now let's see you walk the walk.Move it sister!"
Okay, ma'am. I get it that you obviously put your life before anything. But let me get this straight... because the child isn't your own flesh and blood you do not consider them your family? You were just caught red-fucking-handed saying that a mentally ill child that you ADOPTED to be part of your family isn't actually your family and if they do in fact have issues you'd rather send them on their way then get them the help. If a child that was your flesh and blood tried to murder you in your sleep, what would you do? Send them away? Probably not. You'd more than likely send them to therapy, you'd get them assessed to see what was actually going on. There have been multiple cases of families who adopt a child with mental issues and they do not send them back to where they came from. Perfect example would be a little girl named Beth Thomas "child of rage". She was a little girl who was adopted along side her little brother from a family who was neglectful and abusive. The parents who adopted didn't know her issues at first because there weren't any signs and weren't told about her background history. As her behaviorism started changing, they begun to do a check to see if there could be anything altering her personality in a wrong way. What they discovered shocked them and as Beth grew older she began showing signs of abuse (including sexual abuse) towards her younger brother. She'd talk about killing her adoptive parents as well as her brother, she'd talk about how she'd do it, or what she'd do to them. The parents didn't send her back to the orphanage. Rather they put her into intensive therapy, they locked her in her room at night to ensure the safety of her brother and themselves. You know what happened? SHE GOT BETTER. She started realizing that what she was doing was wrong and she coped with her past issues. She didn't fucking burn the house to the ground, kill her parents and torture her parents fucking friends.
Anyone who is ignorant enough to believe that this Torry-Ann lady or any other MATURE adult was or will be in the right for sending a child back to an orphanage like a defected product is just as pathetic as them. A child no matter their mental stability deserves every single chance they can get to receive a normal, better life. If I adopt a child who increasingly showed signed of an issue mentally or physically, I would damn well get them the help that is ever-so needed. Open up your eyes and start seeing things how they should be-equal and stop being so selfish. If you aren't mentally capable of dealing with an adopted child, then don't even consider it. People make me sick.
