Mo. Couple Say They Think Son Was Abused

The parents of a Missouri teen told Oprah Winfrey in a show airing Thursday that their son hasn’t told them directly but they believe he was sexually abused during the more than four years he was missing.

“OK, I’m going to go there and ask you, what do you think happened? Do you think he was sexually abused?” Winfrey asked Craig and Pam Akers, parents of 15-year-old Shawn Hornbeck.

DUH! Let’s think about this one, real hard. A perp with a history as a sex offender, with his computer full of child porn, who has kidnapped two young boys (that we know of so far…indications of more are in the news already), might have sexually molested one of them (at least) that he had with him for over 4 years?

Both nodded and said, “Yes.”

The only shocker here would have been if they had answered anything else.
