Let me start right off the bat expressing my sympathy to SBD and his family IF IN FACT he has suffered the loss of his son.
I know the feeling of a father outliving his son. This is why I started following the missing child cases to begin with. In fact, Trenton Duckett went missing on the exact date, several years after I buried my only living child, my son John.
As I said in an article I wrote "It all started with Balloons" I was at Gilbert Park, In Mt. Dora, Fl. Around the time Trenton was reported missing.I live what is less than a half hours drive from where he disappeared. My only goal in doing the broadcasts and following these cases is to see that no parent should ever outlive their child.
I have outlived my ONLY child, and my son. This is as much a deeper hurt as any parent who looses a child of the same gender as their. A mother daughter and father son relationship has it's own unique intimacy and that makes the pain of the loss of a same gender child is much stronger as a result.
I do find the instant reaction to HIS loss to be a bit of a suprise and, quite frankly, offensive. SBD himself has made a joke out of the death of my son as well as that of my wife. So have all the others on the side of Princess.
I have seen screen shots of where they have posted about all my financial records (most inaccurate by the way) and other highly personal matters. They have even gone so far as to look up the obituaries of my, son, my wife, my mother and my father and have commented extensively about them.
NONE of this has been done by ANYONE who supports me that I am aware of. Everyone knows I would not stand for such a thing.
In closing I do hope, for the sake of SBD that this is not some kind of hoax. For if it is, he has not only offended the loss of my son, but offended anyone else out there who has outlived their child.
