I agree, and I'd like to take it a step further. Maybe LE is telling them things KNOWING how they will react to them, and what conclusions they'll probably draw. Maybe it's not that they're directly encouraging them, but they know if they give them certain information, most likely they will draw certain conclusions and take it to the media. LE can then say they didn't tell them to go talk to the media about it because they didn't. They just shared information and then let them do what they wanted with it. I think that is what is going on here. LE can distance themselves while at the same time keep giving them certain info and letting that info get out into the media through the parents while not telling them to go to the media and release that information.
Thus they get extra pressure but also get to say they didn't tell them to do that or agree with what they say since they let them draw their own conclusions and go to the media. I think it's a case of here's what we have, now you think about it and decide what you want to do about it. LE can wash their hands of it, and Kyron's parents are the ones who get the flack for going to the media, not LE. And since it's been mostly DY and KH at the forefront, even TY probably knows what LE is doing, and he is keeping quiet and staying in the background just like LE is.
Except that MCSO has said specifically, directly, and without qualification that info stated by Kaine and Desiree did not come from them, and even issued a press release to say it. For example, (and note the capitalization of the word 'NOT'):
Multnomah County Sheriff's Office has no comments regarding the July 8, 2010 Young/Horman press conferences - 07/08/10
There will be no comment from the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office regarding the information reported during the Horman/Young July 8, 2010 press conferences. The information released in during these conferences did NOT come from the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office.
