Wow. What kind of insanity would it take to just keep somebody for four years?

Good that he's returned.

Unfortunately, there are a lot of nasty, evil, horrible people in the world. So sad.

What I don't get is the fact the kid was often seen by himself inside when the kidnapper was a way with the door open playing Nintendo.

I mean, he was 11 when kidnapped (if I recall the news correctly, I didn't read the article - I watched it a few hours ago), surely he wouldn't believe that he had lived with the kidnapper all his life, but why stay when you have the perfect chance to run?

They didn't say anything much about the guy who kidnapped them, did they? Like why he did it and so on.
Or what the two boys thought of it.

Or did I just miss something.

Maybe he somehow formed a bond with his kidnapper.

Maybe the kidnapper demanded that he did as he was told or he wouldn't ever be allowed to return to his parents.

The important thing is that he was able to return to his parents alive.

I was wondering the same thing myself, but when looking at the Drudge Report it said that the kidnapper told the boy that his parents did not want him. I suppose he could have Stockholm Symdrome or something too.

I would also assume that a large factor in him not escaping the kidnapper would be fear- sure, there might be a perfect escape route just sitting in front of you, but if you're terrified that your kidnapper might do something even more horrible to you if you attempt to leave... Fear can be extremely powerful.

Most of what I've read regarding this kidnapping points to fear being the reason the boy didn't escape when he had the opportunity.

According to this article, the boy had computer access. It also says that he may have posted a few messages on a website started by his parents to find him.

Quote:
At 1:59 a.m. on Dec. 1, 2005, someone using the name "Shawn Devlin" asked in a forum on the Shawn Hornbeck Foundation Web site: "How long are you planing (sic) to look for your son?" Shawn's parents, Craig and Pam Akers, started the foundation to help find their son and other missing youngsters.


That's really creepy.

Awww, the poor boy. Can you just imagine knowing that your parents are out there looking for you and you are too afraid to even say a word to them?

This same sort of thing was seen in the Elizabeth Smart case. There were times when she was in public and could have gone up to anyone and yelled help yet she was too afraid to. The sick smurf had control of this boy's mind, plain and simple. It is obvious that the boy had been brainwashed, just like Elizabeth Smart had. Don't ask me what I'd like to do to this guy or to anyone else who hurts or kills children--those smurfs who take away the child's innocence forever.
