Good for the DA. It's time somebody told the press to stop the stuck on stupid reportage.

Hello,
This case is very person for me, as I live in St. Louis, one town over from Kirkwood, and have (literally) looked at Shawn's picture each and very time I have to the grocery store for over 4 years. Last time I saw it (without Welcome Home balloons and cards all over it) was Friday afternoon. He was found a few hours later. The St. Louis area never forgot about Shawn because of his parent's determination to find their child. Also, my only child is a 9 year old boy.
For anyone, and I mean anyone, to presume that an 11 year old kidnapping victim is to blame for ANYTHING is so cold, so beyond the pale, that I have no words. Today at my son's school, I was helping out during a school function, and another mother speculated that of course Shawn stayed in Kirkwood, he got to ride his bike to Walmart. I asked her if she believed that getting raped and terrorized seemed like a good trade off. She shut her mouth.
Sorry for the length, although I could write a book about how disappointed I am in some of my fellow human beings.
