Shawn Hornbeck, who was kidnapped four years ago and recently found by authorities, was interviewed last night along with his parents on Oprah Winfrey's talk show late yesterday afternoon.
Shame on you Oprah Winfrey. You landed yourself an interview with Shawn Hornbeck and his parents. Although the parents expressed that experts have advised them not directly ask their son about the details or events of his life while living with his captor, you pressed ahead with questioning. At one point during your interview, you asked Shawn if had ever tried to email his parents and he asserted that he did not want to talk about that. He drew a line, Oprah, and you leaped over it.
You followed up with stating that "the tabloids" are saying this. . . IS that what happened? He just said he didn't want to talk about it! Here you have a 15 year-old young man who was KIDNAPPED when he was 11 and has lived (most presumably) under intense mental and sexual anguish (maybe even torture) for FOUR FREAKING YEARS and you're button hooking the poor kid into answering what he just said he didn't want to answer.
Hornbek parents, don't think you're off the hook either. Your son has been returned alive and he's probably a psychological ticking time bomb. Bill O'Rielly is trying to lay partial blame on Shawn for not doing anything to free himself or the other boy, and you've voluntarily placed him right in the middle of this media frenzy by allowing him to appear on all these nation-wide television shows. Let him adjust for crying out loud! The poor guy. Or is that the show producers come a calling with their wallets wide open and you just can't help but to forsake your son's well being and help re-adjust to life for some extra cash??

They'll probably put him right back into the public school system so he can be properly socialized by the usual schoolyard scum.
Oprah better have payed them a good deal of money to do that interview. Hopefully Shawn and Ben will have their tutoring, schooling, etc. all paid for through college including masters and Phd's if that's what the boys want.
Why is everyone reading this post again all of a sudden?
Probably because of the Jaycee Dugard case - another kidnapped child that was found alive after years.
That must be it. I'm sure I've dissapointed every one of the people who found this through a search engine. But after re-reading it, I still think his parents were douchey for agreeing to that interview.
