I wonder how many media statements are all scripted by LE when it comes to the parents statements in cases of abductions.
It just seems like they all sound so much alike. First, the informational statement of what info they are allowed to release, then comes the pleading and begging for their return...then after the fact (if they are indeed killed), the thank you so much for all your help and pray for us, but respect our privacy statement. All of which are completely understood.
Where is the statement AFTER the fact that says "You SOB you are going to pay for this. I will not stop until I find you. I will make it my life mission to make sure I don't go a day without you looking over your shoulder wondering if today is the day the police come for you".
I guess it just amazes me that more parents don't outwardly show what I would consider a "normal" emotion in the entire grieving process which is anger. I don't think I've ever seen a media statement or appearance by parents of these children where they speak directly to whomever did it, and vow to make it their life's mission to find them and bring them to justice.
Is it because LE doesn't allow it? Is it yet LE controlling 100% of how things have to happen? Is it because LE is afraid that it's only going to cause the perp to do it again to make a point?
I think it would take me a VERY long time to accept what happened and get to a place of peace. I don't know that I would EVER stop the feelings of hatred, revenge, etc. I pray I'm never in their shoes...because this family has MUCH more forgiveness in their hearts than I ever would.
Hell...my Grandfather was murdered when I was 4 and I still to this day absolutely HATE the person who took his life so early. Not just for what he took from my Grandfather directly...but for what he took from our entire family. I can't even imagine what would happen if this happened to one of my own children.
