Some Kids Should Stay Kidnapped


i am perplexed by an interview i just saw on the today show. it was 5 or 6 minutes of meredith vierra awkwardly trying to interview a 13 year old boy with his family, after he had been kidnapped for four days. now, i never been kidnapped (or so my mom says) but there was definitely something wrong with this kid and i'm pretty sure it was not a result of this napping. he emitted craziness like britney emits stupidity. it was very norman bate-esque. i dont think he was kidnapped at all. i think it was voluntary. and my suspicion was confirmed when i learned that when police rescued him, they also found another boy, a 15 year old who had been kidnapped FOUR YEARS ago. this boy seemed just as nuts. they were acting like they had just come back from the playboy mansion; not rescued from the lair of insane person. both of them were laughing and smurking at the press conferences and saying sarcastic answers to reporters' questions. seemed both boys had multiple opportunities to escape or at least contact the police, but failed to do so for some bizarre reason...

the today show must have known that they seemed weird too because then they had some some bonehead fbi profiler dispense some explanation as to why the boys were acting like it was no big deal.

freak kids---so unpretty.

UnusuaL!! You are crazy. Kidnapped kids often identify with and protect their kidnappers... it's a defense mechansim. These poor kids are mentally fucked rightt now.

I couldn't agree with you more, Unusual. I saw that interview too, and it was a bit odd. The kid wanted his backpack returned to him or something.Like, I think he was worried about a library book in his backpack. And, I definitely agree that the FBI profiler was making excuses for the kid's weird reaction. Meredith Viera was pulling teeth to try and get a sympathetic, scared shitless response from the kid.What bothered me more is that they won't release the circumstances as to how the kid was abducted. Probably because the guy just asked for him to get into the car, the kid shrugged & got in. Something's up.

eww molested. I keep trying to read about this but stop because it's boring and too confusing. The kid is clearly a wierdo.
