One more thing...
These morons that think Shawn wanted to be with Devlin will also take the Fox/NY Post report as:
Well look Shawn's real father was a pervert, so Shawn was bound to be one also and that is why he stayed with Devlin. Because he liked it.
There are many small minded people on this earth and there are a few on FR that have clearly blamed this child. They don't care that he is a child and they don't see Shawn as a victim.
What FOX did was uncalled for. All they did was hurt Shawn more even if Shawn was not his father's victim. Do you think that Shawn wanted the public to know about his father?
It just adds more to what this child is dealing with and he is under the microscope now and none of it is his fault but you have kid that is probably beating himself up inside because he didn't try hard enough (in his mind) to get help while his captor had him.
I am not venting on you and I am just venting because I am so pissed off at how the media does not think about what they are doing or saying. This is a child and he is an abused child (at the hands of his captor). Shame on them - when are they going to draw the line?
Sorry for venting but I am really frustrated about how everything has been going down in the media when it comes to this case.
I agree with you completely that there are idiots out there who will use this to continue to blame Shawn and that the media has been way over the line in how they have treated Shawn and the Akers. I hope and pray that his parents are media savvy enough that they are able to shield him from most of this garbage. Shame on Fox and the NY Post and the others who are bringing more heartache on this family!
Feel free to vent away!
