Also, I don't see how the family thinks this is an appropriate time to be making a publicity tour.

I don't blame the boy for one second, But I agree, why are the parents on this publicity tour. IT makes no sense.

I think I read somewhere that the family is financially ruined because of all the money they spent trying to find Shawn. I assume they are getting paid for the public appearances, money they could use to fund Shawn's extensive counseling that is going to be needed. While I don't think the appearances are necessarily a good thing, I can understand them if that is their thinking.

I hope it is to raise money and awareness that there may be 100's of missing children living around us with captors and to open our eyes. If something seems not quite right, check it out. I also know that Oprah has declared war on pedophiles. I believe that this guy was a pedophile released from jail who did not register upon his release. Hopefully, she will put up on her website more pictures of wanted pedophiles. Last year she awarded $100,000 of her own money to people who gave tips that led to the arrest of wanted and missing pedophiles. At least, that is why I hope they are on the show...

Does anyone know if there are any websites that have pictures, names, descriptions of pedophiles that have been released and have not registered like they were supposed to?
