i noticed that. He has a healthy relationship with his stepfather! He was holding on to him stronger than his mom, kept looking at him for answers and support. It was nice to see Shawn.
Shawn was shy, quiet, and afraid of talking about what happend to him. He showed a side of him that proves to me he was just to afraid to get away from Devlin.
I think Shawn is a cute kid and in a matter of time he will recover from this. He showed he wants to move on badly and I think it is time he does.
It sounds like you had pretty much the same impression as I. Did you see the end? Now, Oprah is getting on the bandwagon to do something about states being too easy on child predators.. I think she should join with BOR, he has been on this for a couple of years now and together they could probably be pretty formidable.
