Jesse Jackson should be enraged over this.

Thanks for the post.
I just read this story on a SA website... my wife was born in Johannesburg, so I sometimes e-mail her news from there.

Here is the link to the story on Independent Online:

Cops probe teen's 12-year abduction claim

It is amazing that this is the first that I have heard of this story. Where is the ACLU on this one, oh wait, it was a white kid

[July 4th]

He remembered he was born on May 4, 1985

Good memory.

This is a very odd story. How could his family of origin have just forgotten about him like that? I find it hard to believe that, during white rule, a white child could just disappear with no fuss or investigation.

C'mon, is this for real?

[Capitalism2003]

can you imagine...think for a minute...Imagine this were a black kid enslaved by a white family...We would have national emergency broadcast system alert...This would be on eveyr news site on the web...every radio news update...news on all major networks...

Since it was a white kid, I doubt this will get a peep.

It reminds me of the story of Odysseus's noble swineherd, Eumaeus. Born the privileged son of a wealthy Greek islander, he was kidnapped by his Phoenician nurse, who saw the chance to escape slavery herself. She led him trustingly him aboard a Phoenician galley where he was sold into slavery, and ended up on Ithaca, where he redeemed himself by loyalty to his absent master.
