Relevance? Absolutely none.
But since the reporters can't
get the family to talk beyond
Oprah (for which the kid's folks
probably received a generous "appearance
fee" from Madam Winfrey), the
media is digging up what it
can. This kind of humiliating
"reporting" with all its innuendos
about the "family facts" will
certainly put a damper on future
victims coming forward to testify
about abuses.

Reporters are like hungry dogs. You either feed them, or they go through your trash, but they are going to eat.

Two things ~ the story is undoubtedly tasteless and WE probably don't need to know about it. On the other hand, it is highly relevant to this case. Shawn may well have been "targeted" by his kidnapper long before, possibly based on information he picked up from others of his kind who'd been imprisoned with Shawn's daddy.

If there's the slightest link, the kidnapper can be charged with enough items to keep him in jail forever even if Hillary Clinton becomes President and pardons him.

You are absolutely correct. FOX got the snub on story and they are out for blood now. That is the opinion on other
boards. How sad

They didn't get a dime from Oprah. She doesn't pay for interviews.
