    Default 5 year old in hostage situation for about a week..

    http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crim...icle-1.1254696
    How is it possible that a 5 year old boy, with aspergers syndrome, be held captive for 6 days in an underground bunker with a old man who kidnapped him from a school bus and shot the bus driver?
    How is it that the sheriff is allowing the man, feed the child food and have activities (drawing, toys) for the child?
    I don't see how this makes sense at all, whenever there is a hostage situation at a college/building place, police take action immediately, and either
    1. Kill the offender
    2. Take quick action to get the hostages back very quickly

    But this kid has been underground with this man, for almost 7 days.. and all the cops are doing is
    1. Talking to him through a pipe that leads underground
    2. Giving crap at the news conferences/not answering/providing any useful detail

    I would assume that they are not agitating the captor because if they did he might shoot the kid.

    There is no rush to get the kid out, he has food, water, tv, ect.

    As far as a lack of rush goes, I wouldn't want my child to be left with a murderous old man (possibly even pedophile) for a week.

    But on the other side of the subject, if he's in an underground bunker, you can't exactly just snipe him from far away or anything. There isn't much of a sneaking in either. What choice do they really have for now?

    yea.. they can't exactly sneak in the bunker and shoot the guy....
    The only true authority stems from knowledge, not from position.

    The guy was taking care of the kid, giving him food and what not, I dont see why he would want to kill the kid when he is doing all this for him, especially for 6 days straight..
    Im assuming the guy had some desire or something along those lines to be with a kid that young and you know what from there on, but got caught in the plot and thus lead to the 6 day stand off

    Anyways, they just confirmed that hes dead
    No word on yet on whether the guy shot himself or they finally decided it was time to 'take action' and take him down

    I hope he didn't kill himself so he has to suffer in jail for the rest if his life.

    No details are clear, they may have been a stun grenade/explosion at the bunker, killing the man and making the boy safe
    I never understood why sources can't explain the full detail

    Well... the kid is in a bunker. Cops can't do anything really. Maybe the ole gas through the pipes trick?

    ^Gas through the pipes would be painful for the kid as well. I think its only a matter of time until they guy gives up... or kills himself and the child.

    I say they have to wait it out, they cant get in.. As long as he is not hurting/doing sexual things to the kid its fine. He is feeding and taking care of him.
    Give him time, he will give in.

    But once he gets out, jail time. He shot a bus driver.

    I was about to say its just a matter of time before the situation deteriorates, and the authorities do something about it. Then saw this:
