Spunkets said----It is not the norm. It is the response of someone that can not maintain rational perspective. It is the response of someone that has no sense of, or respect for their own dignity and freedom, because they have no clear sense of self. It is the response of someone that forgets and denies their self, their values and instead focuses on and sympathizes with their captors instead of escape and evasion for the purpose of regaining their freedom.
In other words, you are describing an 11 year old boy snatched from his parents, sexually abused, physically abused and threatened to be killed. Exactly that is what I said. There are not many 11 year olds if any that have clear sense of self.
In no way, is Shawn responsible for what happened to him.
That's correct.
