Finn has to go to a foster home for medically fragile kids.
He suffered horrific abuse and is now medically needy, which is why he is back in care.
At some point we may get him when he is no longer needing such intense care.
I don't have much more to say, but this is teriffically depressing.
OK, hurting people hurt people and Jesus offers more grace than I do and all that jazz.
I know this passage relates to causing little children to go astray as it pertains to causing them to sin, but how can one who does this to a child NOT cause that child to then make horrible choices as a result of not being loved? Love and security - so basic and so necessary to human development:
Mark 9:41 - 50
41I tell you the truth, anyone who gives you a cup of water in my name because you belong to Christ will certainly not lose his reward.
Causing to Sin
42“And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck. 43If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out.c 45And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell.d 47And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, 48where
“‘their worm does not die,
and the fire is not quenched.’e
49Everyone will be salted with fire.
50“Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with each other.”
I now have a very burdened heart for Finn, even moreso than before. Would you pray for him along with me? I will update you as vaguely as I can if I ever get more information on him.
May God have mercy on whoever did this, whoever does this to HIS little children, thousands of a times a day.
May God have mercy on their souls.

This is just so sad. I can hardly think about it. Poor little boy. Yes, I will pray for him.
when I read the "back in care" part...well...i could just strangle someone. this is what happens when the professionals want to be done with the case rather than do the paper work and investigation needed to save these kids.
Praying. Ugh...such heavy stuff. Soooo sad for sweet Finn. Seriously no words.
My heart is sad and heavy with you. It just numbs my mind to try and think about how someone could do something like that. Am praying with you for sweet little Finn. How old is he?
Finn is at the top of my prayer list Rachel. Having been through some of this as a little child, it tears my heart up to think of any little child having to endure this. I have worked through most of my issues but at almost 64 years old, I still find cobwebs of damage that I have to clean out. This little guy has my love, heart and prayers. Love your heart Rachel.
Love and Hugs, Laurie
That is so sad... little ones are so fragile and so at the mercy of big people. We just have to pray that God's angels will minister to him and that God will do justice to those who caused the harm.
No child should be abused ever. It is sick people who do terrible things to children. I pray he gets treatment and love for his tender fragile spirit. praying with you.
This just breaks my heart. Not knowing the circumstances, I had tears running as I prayed for him yesterday. To know this now...I will, of course, continue to be in prayer for Finn.
Oh, Finn. Wherever you are, may you be protected by mighty God, cradled in his arms.
