OK, you had to know, or at least sense/imagine, that something abnormal went on during the 4 years this kid Shawn was held captive.

Think about it; four years in a completely different environment from which he had been used to, that he had been raised in. Did he believe the threats against him and his family were real? At 11 years of age, how do you cope with that?

We still don't know that much about Devlin, meaning was he a pedophile? So far, as much as I've read, we don't know if the kid had been abused. Odds are he was, but it's not surfaced yet.

The pictures? Hmmmm, a way of reaching out, or venting, or pleading for help?

Still, too many imagined questions, without answers. It's going to take a while longer for this kid to come to grips with what it was that he went through, to try and grasp what it meant to him, being confined that long a time, before he can speak of it in a logical sense - if there is one.

True. Though it was reported they found child porn on his computer. Like you said, have to wait for all the facts.

The problem is - we have the news media falling all over themselves, trying to be the first to get a breaking headline.

Don't you just love it when they quote an item from an "unnamed source", or in one instance, a source who isn't "authorized to publically speak" about the case?

That's about as credible as you can get.

Oh well, Patty Hurst has a great picture of herself with an assault rifle as she took part in a bank robbery, didn't see her world come tumbling down after she was finally released from her captives. The only stress she endured was which movie or book deal to sign and which TV show to appear on... :coffee:

Shawn needs counseling, not another camera in his face.
Ick - I agree with you. If it were my kid, there would be no press conferences and publicity. It always bothers me when there's some family tragedy and the players have to milk it for every second of camera time they can get. It's creepy.

Well, now the whole world knows that Shawn Hornbeck was probably poked in the rump by some sicko. Great thing to be famous for. :ohwell:

:clap: My heart breaks for this child. His innocence and his childhood, for that matter, was ripped right out from under him. Who is anyone to say how he feels, how he acted, if what he did was right or wrong. I would everyone to stay away from him and get him some serious help.
