I really wasn't going to reply or engage with you. but.......
DING DONG --- abducted children are routinely told after they're forced to feel shamed by vile sexual acts perfromed on them and to them, --- that their parents have no use for them, that the abductor will kill their parents if they do not comply or obey every damn demand of their abductor.
You really need to stop trying to blame the victims.
Research Stockholm Syndrome and then apply what you've learned to a child. Abducted children are severely abused and they're scared to death. Their only link to life is the damn predator/abductor.
Maybe you could explain to me why reponsibility equals blame. Funny how THAT is what you seem unwilling to engage in. I have stated quite clearly that blame and responsibility are two different things.
Yet you continue to claim I blame the victim for what the offender did. Why is that? I do no such thing and you should not say I do because it means you keep saying something that is not true.
I am under the impression that this boy had a best friend, that being true, the idea that his captor was his only link to life doesn't stand, now does it?
I know what it is like to be scared of an offender. I also know the feeling of vidication when everyone knew in no uncertain terms what that person had done.
What was I responsible for? Not speaking up sooner that I did. If I can live with and accept that reality, why can't you? My personal responsibilty for my own actions has nothing to do with with the offenders blame for what they did, do you see that now?
