This is not a real situation. It is hypothetical for research. For example, a child that has been physically and sexually abused moves in with new foster family. After a boy in the family restrains him when the child tries to run away, the child proceeds to scream and react violently, closing his eyes as well. What is the best approach without hurting the child or letting him run away?

A child of abuse is living a nightmare inside.A good foster parent realizes that they need pure love and understanding and a lot of patience.If no counselor training keep a trained(preferable Christian) counselor advised & consider their advice.It is important to keep their life right as a proper example.Regretfully many kids end up with families only in it for $$benefits.If a child ends up in one of them he needs to be in a real home setting.Love from God towards the child is important.It is important to make the child realize that God created them very special and they are very important in life now & as they grow to adulthood. Telling from experience how I handled that situation but I had an edge by training in a good Christian University.& worked with troubled youth.Good luck & use good judgment in your report as you would hope to be treated in that situation.
Several things depending on is his age. Find out why is he screaming, is he expecting something bad to happen based on the past times. Has he heard something? Is it the child's way of feeling wanted, the restrain and attention says to him, you care. Is he fighting it because he doesn't want to be told where and who to live with? Care enough to discuss and listen, and nothing is silly and help him understand by time and behavior that not all are sexual predictors. Maybe understanding Eric Erickson's stages of development and how the first stages of life affect the rest would be of help.
