Let me rephrase. In the post I was responding to, you posted:
"I just think that it is possible the impression from the DP show will be, for casual viewers, that this is an extremely amped-up custodial fight between parents and that one or the other knows he is safe and being cared for." This gives me the impression that you think casual viewer would think that one or the other of the parents knows he is safe and being cared for. Assuming that one of the parents has him safe somewhere and being cared for, that parent could not bring him back into their household without getting themselves into trouble.
Therefore, why would the casual viewer think that one or the other of the parents knows he is safe and being cared for, when there would be no point in doing so since they could not just pull Dylan out from wherever they have him hidden as say "Voila! Here he is!" I can't see why a casual viewer would think that, and I was hoping for some enlightenment. (being as I don't watch regular TV, but I think I've mentioned that...)
If, and this is a big, almost impossible "if" to me, he is being hidden by MR, for example, clearly MR did not think ahead in a very bright way. How did he plan to retrieve Dylan?
If he did do this, and can't figure out how to bring him back, he would have to be doing what he doing now, to cover up. Throw blame at Er, accuse Dylan of being careless and too trusting, etc.
But my point was that if the public begins to believe that he did hide Dylan, they are likely also to think that Dylan is, at least, physically unharmed and safe, if not happy. And that sooner or later, LE will figure out where he is. So they are less likely, IMO, to be scrutinizing the faces of teens boys across America, because they believe Dylan is hidden so well that even the FBI can't find him. So why would he be in a mall or a truck stop?
(gosh I hate to say this, after months of disparaging this theory but my impression of MR since makes me think it is NOT impossible for him to take an action without thinking ahead. Only I can't imagine who would agree to participate.)
