Well, under normal circumstances Teenagers rebel. This poor kid a the age of 11, could have been raped and beaten 10 times a day, starved, tortured...God only knows what this sick pup did to this poor boy. Even tho this child is now a teenager, he may not have progressed mentally or emotionally since he's been away, or even worse , he may have regressed. If you think about this in the proper context, its not so hard to comprehend. Maybe not understand, but...comprehend.
Good points, all.
