I was in tears reading this. Now the idiots who questioned Shawn Hornbeck for not leaving his pyschological prison can know he was never at fault for this horrific and tragic event that took 4 years of his childhood life away.
Not only did Shawn fear for his life, he also must have experienced unimaginable shame. If I were 10 years old, I suppose I would do just about anything to keep my friends and parents from seeing those videos. A kid that age may well believe that it would be better for his parents to think he was dead.
