"Transferring responsibility for this child's plight from the evil doer to the victim is beyond the pale."

I agree, and I'm fearing a little for this family to be holding a press conference this morning. The two boys were released from Cardinal Glennon hospital after midnight last night, so the family hasn't had much rest yet. I worry about the questions that they will receive from the dimwitted and liberal reporters

Saying a prayer for them right now.

Craig Akers, Shawn Hornbeck's step-father, is doing this press availability by phone.

Thanking all involved, and said that one of the reasons for doing this today, is for the other missing children. He says that he remembers when Elizabeth Smart was found and how much hope that gave them, how that fueled their hopes.

Wathed the family presser. The media was VERY respectful. Also noted the law enforcement folks standing in the background, at one point reminding the mom and son to refrain from answering specific questions.
