[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The husband alluded to what a mark Gus was due to young age, looks half asian, can smuggle him out easier/faster than a white boy, etc.

State Dept has the data on this.

Young children are abducted and whisked away to beach markets in SE Asia. Pedophiles are the frequent buyers of boys or girls. Same on Ivory coast beach markets for the sick European pedophiles. [/quote]

Yes. I was horrified thinking about this and his parents having to go thru the agony imagining of what is happening to him. It's a lot of why his dad 'prayed for it to be him' at the morgue.  Closure for them and Gus vs the agony they are all experiencing. [/quote]

Absolutely. It's such a horrific situation to be in that while I was originally interested in reading the book, now I know I won't. Because I get it -- having your child go missing and never knowing if he's alive or dead is basically worse than knowing he was killed because he have to live every day with the reality of what might be happening to him. It would be torture that I think would be inescapable. I agree with the conclusion the show, and I think many viewers, seem to reach that the only solution would be religion, because how else could you move forward? Believing that there is a god who might watch over him wherever he is would probably be the only way to find any solace at all. I totally understood why Margaret's husband found himself hoping the dead child was Gus, and was devastated to realize it wasn't, even though without understanding the backstory, this seems like a backwards reaction.[/quote]
