Ah but you are assuming that said childs biggest issue will be over the top window breaking. Most parents who disrupt pray for that kind of normalcy. What if you had a child who they told you was normal and healthy, but had been sexually abused and now was a sexual predator themselves and you have younger children? Do you truly have the resources for "line of sight parenting
"? can you or your husband take night shifts to unsure the child is still asleep? What if your child victimizes your other children in another way? Threatens to kill them? Or threatens to kill you? (These are realistic truths from families who have disrupted) What if they kill your pet? Or what if they are so deperate for some form of control they refuse to have bowel movement (age five) to the point it stretches the intestines and damages internal organs. While I certainly never promote this option - I also have a hard time judgign it - you need properly equipped parents for these kids - and throwing them into a blind family with no skills and keeping them there was resentment grows is the worst solution.
