I'm fairly neutral on this subject - I just don't feel we have all the facts yet. The adoptive parents are saying that the child reported abuse to the orphanage. The orphanage is saying that the child reported abuse from the adoptive parents. The news articles never state if the adoptive parents ever sought medical and psychiatric treatment for the child.

In a situation where the parents tried all they could do with medical attention and were truly in fear for their lives and felt they couldn't do anything more to help this child, then maybe returning him was in the child's and their best interest HOWEVER I do not believe putting a 7 year old on a international flight with a note is the right way to do it. Someone from that family should have accompanied that little boy. If they didn't feel comfortable with just one family member alone with him, then have two adults accompany him. You don't just send a child alone with a note on an international flight to Russia. That's wrong, IMO. If he truly is violent, then the agency should have known and should have said something to the adoptive parents. That IMO is also wrong.

I feel bad for the little boy though, violent or not. He's been through so much at such a young age. I pray he gets the help he needs and goes to a loving family that can give him everything he needs and he can live a normal life.
