At Large

News from around Texas.

The 2nd worst person in history…


…is the woman who rejected her seven-year-old, adopted son, stuck him on a plane by himself, and sent him back to Russia, where he was an orphan.

She had him for a total of six months. Abando-mom included a note saying he had mental issues.


I’m pretty sure her mental issues are much worse.

Hitler is the worst person of all time. But the pile of crap known as Torry Ann Hansen is right up there.

I would  like to send her back to hell with a note that we don’t want her here.

    That’s good insight from a good perspective. Thank you for enlightening me. old neighbor had an adoptive son who tried for years to burn down their house. SWRI actually took the kid in for studies and they determined that this was the result of some medication he was on.

    They gave the child an alternate medication and he was better. No..he wasn’t great but he did improve enough that I trusted him to mow my lawn for $30 every two weeks.

    You’re right…that’s why I held off on saying anything either way. I didn’t know enough on the subject.

    FYI, My wife and I adopted four kids. One of them has been a “hands-on” case from day 1, for a decade.

    My wife and I never, ever considered sending her back.

    “Six months” is the key issue.

    If the kid was psychotic, you’d want to spend at least a year trying various meds, treatment, whatever. Yes, agencies make mistakes and even mislead adoptive parents.

    I know a couple who were in a similar situation, with a deeply disturbed kid, but they didn’t bail on the kid after SIX F***ING MONTHS. They spent years and did everything humanly possible to help the kid, and only then did they reluctantly make the decision that it wasn’t going to work. And it wasn’t an easy decision, either. It gutted them. You can’t fault anyone in that situation. But six months, for an older kid from a different culture, is an awfully short time in which to decide that a human life isn’t worth fighting for, imo.

    This is one time I’m reserving judgement until I know more. While I agree it’s low to adopt and then send a kid back because you feel overwhelmed, I’ve seen some of these kids that my friends have adopted set fire to family pets, torture their adopted siblings, and commit felonious acts of crime.

    so knowing how these kids turn on the sweet child act like a lightswitch…i’ll reserve judgement on this one until i get more info on the situation.

    but roy is usually right on these types of matters.
