Children With Fetal Alcohol Syndrome? Posted: 06-15-05 12:57pm
I have a brother who had children with a
woman who was using drugs. She had three
children. The first of which is not my
brothers. My mother adopted them when
they were very young. The youngest was
born with crack in her system, the middle
one seems fine, and the oldest she drank
alot with and I dont know what else. He
is having severe problems and I am
starting to wonder if he has delayed
development. He is fourteen and a lot of
time acts like my 5 year old. Actually my
5 year old seems more mature sometimes.
He still pees in his room. He seems to
have a hard time with school work and has
really bad behavioral problems. The
children are homeschooled also. He just
does not act like a fourteen year old
child. He has adhd. The youngest is ten.
She also acts young for her age. She
acts like she is about 6 or 7 still. She
is very small for her age and she has bad
behavioral problems but not as bad as the
boy. My mother just thinks its a stage
they are going through but I think the
oldest especially needs serious help.
Does anyone know what could be wrong with
them or what could help them? The middle
child seems fine. I dont think her mother
did anything when she was pregnant with
her.
