		<description>I would say that you keep taking him to the psychologists until he opens up.  If you have a good psychologists he will understand the reasons why a 9 year old boy is clamming up. It needs patience time and great sensitivity.  I don&#039;t know how this psychologists plays this, but if he is traumatized by what he has been through, him being mute is his way of saying he doesn&#039;t know what he feels he has obviously numbed himself as a child to cope with past events that have happened.
Due to his age I would have thought play or art therapy is more suitable.
It is difficult for emotionally disturbed adults to express themselves let alone a 9yr old boy.  You need more specialized help.
His touching little girls makes me think he has either been abused himself, or he has witnessed something sexually that would make him act out in such a way.
I don&#039;t need to tell you how much this little boy needs you right now, I admire you for taking on such an enormous responsibility.
You need the help of social services.  I would have thought that rather have another disturbed child to find foster care for they would be bending over backwards to get you the specialized help this little boy needs.  You really need to approach them, and lean on them hard, remind them of the alternatives. At the same time I would find out if they have a support group with people in the same or similiar situation as you to help yourself and your husband.  You definately need emotional support as well.</description>

		<description>I have heard that some children will (I know this sounds crazy) be more willing to talk to a sock puppet than a person. Introduce it as a game. Say to him, &quot;Let&#039;s play a game. You can tell Mr. Socky everything that&#039;s bothering you right now. Go ahead. You won&#039;t get in trouble.&quot; Then he should talk to it. (I&#039;ve seen this in movies.) Or, find someone you know he is comfortable talking to and bring him/her with you to see the counselor. I know I hate talking to a counselor alone. I always bring a trusted friend with me. I talk to my friend and not the counselor, but the counselor will occaisonally interrupt with advice. Try to see if either of this suggestions might work. :)</description>

		<description>First, I commend you for doing what the majority of your family wouldn&#039;t do for him.  Yes, he is going through a lot, but I believe with you and your husbands&#039; love and support that he will come around.  I would suggest to continue to go to counseling for him....I would also try to introduce him to his schools&#039; counselor....I think that with time he will become used to his counselor and eventually, he&#039;ll open up.  Whatever you do, have patience and put your trust in God.  Your cousin will always be greatful to you....you may not see it now, but you will.  Also, keep your personal stuff up, and do discipline him for his wrong doings.  Best wishes.</description>
