Awful

This makes me sick: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/36322282/ns/world_news-europe

A woman who adopted a 7 year old boy from Russia in September put him on a plane and sent him back to Moscow. She says he had turned violent. However, this behavior didn't happen until after a January visit by a social worker who said there were no issues.

Hey lady! He's legally adopted- he's a U.S. citizen now.... get help for him in this country or turn him over to child services if you no longer want him.

I'm not saying he didn't have problems- more than likely he did. He's a post institutionalized kid. I don't think the parent was prepared for this or for parenting an older child from an orphanage. Makes me sick that folks like this are able to adopt then do something like this to the child.

Though it's not the first time or the first country it's happened to.

Even Dutch diplomats do it: http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1695735,00.html

at least she has a happy ending:
