The adoptive mother simply could not handle him anymore and he was becoming a danger to her. If all you do gooders think what she did is so wrong why don't you adopt the kid?
Yes, people are generally... well, not so bright, as you can see putting the blame on the adopted parents, so that is to be expected when they read news about this, not to mention believing anything they read as it literally were. So yeah, usually, people who get judgemental in those situations would very likely have done the same thing and probably earlier.

What if your birth child threatened to kill you, do you put him/her on a flight or do you try and get help?
On a flight to Russia of course!

He may need help, but why send the person back to where he may have developed these behaviours?
hmmm, because sending him back to Russia he would not be able to kill her by burning the house? so she might have thought.

I would not be so quick to judge this person either, however, given the psychological issues that most abandoned kids may have at a certain age, I would say that adopting a 6 or 7 year old would not be such a good idea after all. Yeah, poor kids, but unless you are a saint, an activist, properly trained or perhaps even a masochist, then I would suggest the best idea for adoption would be either babies if possible or give up.
IMHO.
