Miracle in Missouri

Here's a big "BOO-HISS" to Oprah for jumping on the Hornbeck interview bandwagon.

I am so tired of listening to interviewers and news people ask "WHY" a child would stay with a kidnapper for whatever length of time for whatever reason. Watching her interview of the child, it was evident that he was not ready to discuss what had happened. My skin crawled every time she would fill in the blanks of anything he said he would rather not answer. Hello... theres a reason he doesn't want to answer things.

The very nature of the question "WHY" is aggressive... putting a receiver on defense to explain whatever is being asked. Not necessarily something I would put a child through that has clearly been through the pits of hell for four years.

God forbid the child not want to discuss his past in public. Ever consider the personal shame, fear, embarrassment aspects that may be involved? Leave the boy alone, let him heal, stop hounding him for details. Its none of your business.
