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.....

What these people don't understand is Shawn was all of our kids. He was a normal kid, but they want to see that something must have been wrong with him cause he wanted to stay with Devil.
So sad.

I think you have nailed the situation. Yes, they and their kids are "above and beyond" that sort of thing. Unreal.

I think that article written by Michael Reagan (the link is on the previous page here I think) really helps to explain why kids don't tell what happened to them and don't "escape" their abuser.
I hope to write to the boys sometime next week, if I get over this bad cold I've been fighting!
