I know there may have already been some abuse. I know of one particular incident. This is a bit triggering. My sister and BIL adopted three boys and one of them was sexually abusing my daughter/niece for a long time. My sister did go to the authorities, but there was some loop hole because of them being so close in age, so he didn't get arrested () but my sister was also told that, if my nephew was allowed to stay in the home, that L would be taken away. My sister actually had to think about it! She didn't want to lose her son's love. Someone had to practically to force her hand. I did not know about that for years! Her other two (adopted) brothers were verbally abusive to her and bullied her a lot, and they were allowed to get away with it because they "were boys."
