Leave the Kid Alone

Geez Louise! I could strangle the parents of Shawn Hornbek. You get your kid back after 4 or 5 years and what do you do? Humiliate him! Like a 15 year old kid wants the whole world to know that he may have been sexually abused. Like anybody really wants the whole world to know that they have been sexually abused. First of all, if he was it is his right to tell everybody or nobody about it. His parents need to shut the hell up, get off of T.V., stop working on whatever movie of the month deals they are probably working up and get that kid into counseling. Sure they have done some good stuff finding other people's kids but right now I believe that they are just messing this poor kid up even more by spouting off their speculations all over Oprah. Oprah, of all people, should know better too. Wasn't she just quoted as feeling like she was kicked in the gut by a family member's betrayal of her secret teenage pregnancy? What the hell is wrong with these people? Like I said, get the kid in counseling and if he wants to talk about it later then let him but if he wants to just try to lead a normal life and have some sort of normalcy then we should all just put butt out and let him.
