As soon as I heard about the uncle, I suspected. Being a survivor, I know the pervasive/secret nature of abuse and its propensity to move downward thru the generations. This results sometimes in victims becoming perpetrators. (Please note, I say sometimes) I am not saying all victims then victimize. I certainly do not. But I am not at all surprised that there may be a history of sexual abuse in the family. Sadly, it is not as unusual as we would like to think.
Playing devils advocate here, before I say there is sexual abuse by grandpa upon uncle I will need something other than a child molesters word. I want to be careful before I begin vilifying grandpa based on the limited info available. It seems a bit self serving how grandpa was offerred up by the uncle almost as an excuse for his behavior and I would hate to make false assumptions about a man on that alone.
Take all of the above with a grain of salt. I do know that I think the uncle has nothing to do with Kyron's disappearance.
With this new line of speculation I am not sure of what I think. But IF there is a history of sexual abuse in the family, uncle may not be the only one of this generation to be acting out and carrying on the dirty little family tradition. This could be something major. Or it could be nothing at all.
