My step aunt (who I am close to) has been approved to adopt a 4 year old little boy which is due to go ahead in September, everything was going smoothly when last week he was removed from his foster home for child protection reasons as his foster carers are being investigated for sexual abuse.
The little boy in question has shown no signs so far of having been abused, but I am worried about the impact on the whole situation if it transpires he has been abused. I am also in a bit of a panic because I have heard that children who have been abused, often try to abuse other children. I have 3 kids one who is older, one of which is the same age and another who is younger, and I am really nervous. I feel I can't talk to any of the family about this as I don't want to sound insensitive.
