I don't think that the poor kid had any will left in him. I mean, look at how submissive he was on Saturday, when his mother dragged him back to the fifth grade classroom where he was attending school when he was abducted. I can't imagine that the kid wanted to be there.
I think you might be projecting. According the the parents, they did not want Shawn there but he asked to go. The decision was left up to him.
I didn't see that.
Why would she do that?
Ya know, I thought you had just forgotten the sarcasm tag, and then read on the replies, that you actually seem serious. When I looked at Shawn, I saw a kid who wanted to be VERY NEAR to his family, in particular his mother! I cannot imagine him wanting to be separated from her again (at least not this soon)! We are talking about a kid who was taken from his family against his will, and held captive from his family, against his will.
