It must have been terrifying to be this boy’s family and friends. Not knowing where he was, if he was okay, or if he was even alive, five months must have seemed like a lifetime. Kevin Lunsmann, 14, is now looked at as a hero, not only for surviving but for wandering through the jungle for two days and finding civilization. I’m sure this was a terrifying task for such a young boy but obviously it paid off. This situation which first started off so tragic has become a victory because not only has this boy reunited with his family; but Warren Richard Rodwell, 53 of Australia was arrested and charged of being a leader of these captors. They are being accused of holding others as well. So this situation has kind of ended bittersweet because thanks to this boy, hopefully others will be found.

This is a good story. It makes you think about how you would react in his situation. I mean sitting here thinking about it, I just find myself thinking I would give up; crazy things happen when a person is put into a situation like that.
ReplyDeleteGood find though, it's a good story to report on. I honestly hadn't heard anything about it.
That's a very scary situation. I have a lot of respect for that boy for having the resolve to last through his captivity for five months and the courage to finally escape it. This boy and his family were very lucky to have made it out alive. Unfotunately many other kidnapped vacationers don't live to share the tale.

Wow I would totally have imagined myself in such an adventure when I was fourteen years old. This fourteen year old must have learned the true feeling behind situations like this and how it is just horrible.
