I agree, the family did the right thing doing the press conference. Honestly, it isn't our business to judge a families decision on what is best for their child.
from what I have found there is no place for donations for Shawn Hornbeck and family, only the Owenby boy.
Shawn Hornbeck did confirm (to his mother) during the presser, that he was in the Kirkwood-apartment area all along.
At that point the authorities stepped in to suggest they leave it at that, for now.
He was interacting with his parents to confirm or reject information as he sat to the side with them, and even smiled a few times, which absolutely lit up the room.
