Right on Hildy. It is tragic what happened to both these children. Shawn will be affected for the rest of his life. The public has no right to voyeurism over what he endured over the years. That said, I have wondered if the kidnapping of Ben saved Shawn's life. Pedophiles want youngere children. With Ben in the house, Shawn could have been disposed of. God was with him. May God continue to guide him and comfort him now and in the future.
Chill out people, this thread is just loaded with assumptions and "probably's".
Wait for the facts. We don't know didly about this. Freeper postings don't count as facts, and even stories on Drudge dont necessarily make it true.
First off, you're right. It is so unseemly that this boy's life is put out there for our speculation. That being said..I think that if he hadn't killed him before, he probably wasn't going to. Devlin knew the cops were looking for him. They had to come back with a warrant. If he was going to do something, seems like he would have done it already. I'm sure, in his weird way, the guy loved Shawn. They've been together, everyday, for over four years.
