Remembering Steven
Two boys. Lost and found. One found after four days, the other was after four years.

Yes folks, it's unusual. However, I believe there had been cases like this before. Remember Steven? Well I do, though admittedly I remember the made for TV movie of his life starring Corin Nemec rather than the hoopla that ensued when he was found. In my defense I wasn't even conceived by then.

Anyway for those who don't remember, here's what I remember from the movie. Young seven year old Steven Stayner was walking home from school using shortcuts and didn't come home. Seven years later and several states away from where Steven used to live, another boy was kidnapped. Timmy White was kidnapped by the same man who had kept and held Steven captive for seven years. Steven, knowing that Timmy would suffer the same way he has, took the kid and brought him to the first public place he could get to when their "Daddy" aka kidnapper left them alone in the house. There he abandoned the kid in the hopes that the folks there would find the kid and take the kid to the police. The folks there did find Timmy but then they thought that the fleeing Steven was the kidnapper. Steven is then taken into custody but later on identified as being a kidnap victim himself.

Nice story isn't it. Too bad it actually ended badly. I won't say anymore why but you can probably guess what happened to poor Steven during those seven years. This, of course, makes us speculate on what happened to Shawn Hornbeck during the four years. Now we may be right but we all do hope we are wrong.

I've joked that I've got pedophile tendencies because I'm a fangirl of Danielle Radcliffe ever since he was just eleven years old but in all seriousness I would never do what this man has done. This man is sick and people like him should be locked away where the sun don't shine.
