A planned abduction would be more likely if he was local but he wasn't. He wasn't even a frequent visitor.
I don't think it's impossible but I think it's unlikely.
Also aren't all these 'men' in this group into victimising girls? If it was planned, I would assume it was more likely the sister they would have wanted to get.
This is the weird thing for me....I'm waiting to hear about a POI who has previously been "interested" in boys...
Would people with histories of victimising girls really see a boy and think "ah well, he'll do" or "since I can't get to the girl I guess I'll just grab the boy for (insert name of somebody interested in boys here), since I owe him a favour and all"....
