Generally, I am one to view the soap opera nature of the Kyron Horman story in the light that — the nature of the story increases the odds that the kid is alive, so on that perspective, I guess it’s a good thing that these things surround the story.  With the caveat that I don’t know if the various conjectures and circumstantial evidence that point the way to the Step-Mom lead inexorably to the right track or simply bellow out a whole load of dirty laundry off a side-street to a dead end, absent all that my guess would be that he’s dead — we need circumstances to suggest something else happened, and we now have a picture of what those circumstances would be.

All that aside…

And maybe to bring this up is boorish and inappropriate…
Callous, for which I suppose I apologize in advance…
but it is the thought that popped up when I read the closing notes of this Oregonian published editorial by Anna Griffin:

Kyron is still out there. He’s at the bottom of a river or screaming for help in a basement or, let’s dream a little, eating ice cream, watching SpongeBob and enjoying a respite from the messed-up world we adults made for him.

Sure.
I have no idea what Kyron Horman thinks about Spongebob Squarepants.  But, according to the t-shirt in his well published photograph of him standing next to his Frog Exhibit, he is a fan of CSI — so I guess he should be watching CSI and not Spongebob Squarepants.
Also, I’d hope his “friendly” captives are feeding him something besides ice cream.  He needs to eat his broccoli and brussel sprouts, doesn’t he?
