They had an article in todays paper regarding the boy who was kidnapped in California in 1980 and held for 7 years. This is the kid that the move "I know my name is Steven" is based on. It really is very sad. His kidnapper received a sentence of 8 years and only served 5. 5 years in prison for what he did to that boy!!!!
In 2004 the same guy (kidnapper) was sentenced to 25 to life for trying to buy a child for $500.00.
I just can't believe it 5 years! That boy suffered the rest of his shortly lived life because of this guy.
To bad the penis whacking doctor didn't get his hands on this guy!!!

That's horrible! It really makes you wonder where the justice is, in our judicial system. Such a shame.

That story goes on. Steven's life was a mess after he got back and I believe he ended up dying in a car accident or something a few years ago.

Also, his brother (step brother maybe?) ended up being a sexual predator or killer of some sort I believe.

MB guy, he died in a motorcycle accident, at the age of 24. A car pulled out in front of him. He did marry and has two children. They said he never received counseling because his father didn't think he needed it. His sister said he tried to cope with it and in time became an activist in educating children about "Stranger Danger" thru speaking engagements.
He was lured into the car by two men that asked if his mother would contribute to their church. Then he was told he was no longer wanted by his parents and had been adopted. The second man served two years in prison.

His brother, Cary, is a convicted murderer in California.
