That's exactly what it is. A coping mechanism.

BOR wants to believe that if one of his kids was kidnapped they would have the fortitude and the wherewithal to withstand the psychological and physical torture.
At 11 years old.

But it doesn't work that way.

Imagine if a grown woman was kidnapped and systematically raped by her kidnapper and escaped after only a month, never mind 4 years. If she was unhinged by the experience would anyone question her irrational behavior.Of course not.
But some won't cut children the same slack.

It is despicable.

Hello,

It is despicable. I have a 9 year old son, and can't help but imagine the pain and shame these boys have endured, and the horror their families have lived though. Listening to those that judge, simply to make themselves feel better has been extremely hard.

Again, my prayers to these boys and their families, that peace can be found.
