How very sad for that family and the girl. She was definitely lost in the system and her parents were given no support. My daughter's sibling with severe RAD is also having her behaviors minimized by the school system. It blows me away that they do this.

interesting to see this discussed here - in the UK we adopters are not happy about the book extract - very few people in the UK know about attachment and developmental trauma, and therapy is very hard to get.
It seems a good chance to hightlight the issues our children face hes been lost in the sensational nature of the article. Of course we dont know if it is a good representation of the was the book is written.

I saw that some of the comments to the article were very negative - implying that the family is just "not good enough" - something I think all parents of an attachment disordered child have felt at one time or another. Really, I don't think people can ever really understand it until they've been through it!

I just got finished reading Melanie Allen's book, and they really hung in there as best as they could. They didn't get any help from the British social services, and the system ended up turning on them. So sad, because the little girl still isn't getting the help that she needs.
