It's long and pointless it must be Cedarford

There are people who knee-jerk on unquestioning acceptance of "victims" and
demand others do the same. "Children never lie and are never responsible!!"
"Women never lie about rape!!Now it could be Shawn Hornbeck was kidnapped, and
it also could be that he ran away from what he thought was a bad family to the
big nice guy who promised him all sorts of presents, never having to go to
school again, and a 365 day a year vacation. The cops may have some very
interesting interviews. We will see what the charges are.Now, it may be wrong to
make assumptions, but one side is firmly convinced the Hornbeck kid is 100% a
victim and he is a hero and his family deserves to move out of the single-wide
to the free 4-bedroom house a wealthy developer just gave him for his courage
and example to others...Or, as others troubled by his actions note: 1. Kid had
free run for at least 4 years, full access to phones, internet, transportation -
but made no effort to contact his Mom, Stepdad, or siblings to let them know he
was alive.2. Kid contacted the police twice. The first to call in that his nice
new bike had been stolen. Cops who responded got a signed report from him that
his Dad was Devlin, and he altered his birthdate on the report from his true one
and reported his Mom lived out of state. That happened in 2002, 10 months after
he disappeared (notice I did NOT say kidnapped).Nature of his 2nd police meeting
not clarified.3. He had a number of friends in the neighborhood, stayed over at
one kids house, and never told any of them about what happened.Many more details
will come out. I suspect the wealthy developer might wonder about his house
gift. We also know he was upset that the "missing posters" were still up and
wrote the "Shawn is Missing" website using his Devlin alias and asking when the
Hornbecks would quit looking for Shawn Hornbeck, then writing back (or Devlin
did) saying he hoped that comment wasn't upsetting.Devlin himself is going away
for life for kidnapping the 2nd boy, but may just be hit with unlawful
guardianship if Hornbeck moved in with him willingly, and if he is a gay
pederast, whatever he did with his boytoy.
