My word, how very sad. And to think that people put any blame on Shawn Hornbeck for the horrific event that happened to him. Just awful! That poor child. I can only pray that he is feeling the love and comfort he so rightfully deserves in the love and arms of his mom and dad.
You will be happy to know that the whole community wrapped Shawn in their supportive arms and welcomed him home. Further, The Shawn Hornbeck Foundation was formed to educate children and their parents on simple techniques they can use to stay safe; provide tools parents can use in the event their child is lost or missing; and help families, law enforcement, fire departments and other search and rescue teams in their efforts to find a lost, missing or abducted child.
