Mother wants to unadopt son

LORTON, Virginia (AP) -- A woman is taking the unusual step of trying to unadopt her 15-year-old son, saying she learned of his troubled past only after he molested two younger children.

"You don't want to throw somebody away," said Helen Briggs, a longtime foster mother. "But sometimes you have to."

I don't know what to think. I'm angry that she wants to "throw" her son away, but he is a child molester...

Take your choice. If Social Services did not reveal the kids history as she contends, there is no way she should foot the bill for this kid that was mentally ruined from the beginning. If Social Services is correct that she knew what she was getting into, then it, unfortunately, is on her.

Yeah, I'm sort of on the fence with this one. She should have been informed of his history.

But, this poor kid will never have the love of a family that he needs.

If I read that and the Yahoo article correctly, this kid is way beyond love. The theory of everyone being born equal does not fit this kid.

Yeah. It appears he didn't get the love he needed a long time ago. That's sad. He's messed up forever.
