He's a VICTIM, you dolts!!

I am so happy, and thankful, that the 10 year old and 14 year old that were taken by Peter Whitmore are alive and safe. As soon as I saw the inital reports I was overjoyed. This particular case has really really gotten to me. I have a 10 year old son and could never imagine the fear, the pain of something like this. The helplessness of not being able to save him. The helplessness of not being able to ease his fear and pain (both physical and emotional). The helplessness of trying to help this little boy with picking up the pieces of what has been shattered.

Having said all that, I have to say I am still unhappy with the way the RCMP treated Jordan during this whole thing. First not doing much more than taking a 'missing persons' report (Did they learn nothing from the Leslie Mahaffy case-She was considered a runaway, BUT they found her in pieces, embedded in concrete at the bottom of a body of water-courtesy of Paul and Karla Bernardo). Then not feeling him worthy of an Amber Alert or change of status to Abducted or Endangered, when they learned who he was with.

Then, once rescued from Peter Whitmore, the RCMP seemed to be treating him as a suspect instead of a victim. They held him for over 24 hrs (while Zach was immediately returned to family) and during that time made hints at not knowing when they would allow him to leave. All of this fuelling rumors that he had participated in the victimization of Zachary. Can you imagine what people may say/think of him now??

Peter Whitmore is charged with two counts of kidnapping, two counts of sexual assault causing bodily harm (1 charge for EACH boy) and one count of forceable confinement....due to it being a sexual assault case there is now a publication ban.

In short...I think the police failed Jordan and I believe they owe him a PUBLIC apology and need to clarify, so that Jordan is not further victimized.
