Hello,

It has been amazing, and so hard to take. I'm talking about mothers that I know, saying that since Shawn had "freedom", he obviously wanted to stay (hey, he got go to the pizza place!) and/or assuming horrible things about his parents, to justify his not contacting them.

I think this may be a way for these parents to cope, allowing them to pretend that this situation could NEVER happen to their family, their child or them. Of course their child would call/escape.....
