The young boy in the picture is named Steven Stner. He was only 14 years old at this time. After 7 years of imprisonment and abuse, he successfully escaped from the devil's cave with another victim.

html was abducted at the age of 17 and brainwashed by a "pedophile"

1972, 7-year-old Steven walked home from elementary school as usual. At this time, a man wearing church costume told him that his name was Irving , and was raising funds for the church, and asked Steven if he could donate some old things to do good deeds.

Kind Steven told Irving that there should be something to donate at home, so Irving suggested that he could drive Steven home. At that time, there was a man sitting in the cab - Kenneth Parnell.

Panel and Irving are colleagues, but he doesn't know this colleague. not only robbed with a gun, but also a child sex offender . He brainwashed Irving, asked him to lead a little boy to help do a religious ritual together, and would also support Irving in the future.

Steven was very happy at the time and thought that he could get home quickly by car and do good deeds. However, after waiting for the car to drive for a while, he realized that he had been sent to the cabin that Parnell rented in the countryside.

After Owen left, the man began to control Steven. Just the next day, he molested 7-year-old Steven and 13 days later he began violently sexually assaulting his poor child.

Panel also often brainwashed Steven, saying, "My parents can't afford to support you, they have sold you to me." He asked him to change his words and call him his father. The power of Parnell's control of people's hearts is terrible. Even if Steven is not imprisoned, he is unwilling or dared not leave.

Days passed by day, and this abnormal relationship was successfully cultivated. Steven relied on the kidnappers more and more. Even after moving the house several times, he did not escape. What he didn't know was that the hut that Parnell rented was a few hundred meters away from his grandfather's house.

4 awakened and fled with another victim

Panel is a pedophile, he only likes young children. As Steven grew up, Parnell was no longer interested in him and he planned to kidnap a new little boy.

At this time, Steven grew up a little and he began to understand more things. Although he did not have the courage to report his "dad", he was unwilling to be with Parnell. He deliberately destroyed all the tasks assigned to him by Parnell.

980, Panel plundered a 5-year-old boy Timi in California through violent kidnapping. When Steven saw Timmy crying, his old fear surged into his heart.

He saw Parnell use the trick of brainwashing himself on Timi, and saw how Parnell changed Timi's appearance and hairstyle, changed his name, and asked him to call him his father...

At that moment, he realized that he was abducted by the same routine. If this continues, Timi will be the next "toy". So he began to plan and planned to escape with Timi.

One night, while Parnell was working on night shift and no one was at his house to take care of him, Steven and Timmy successfully escaped and they found the police station. The police not only helped Timmy find her family, but also found that Steven was the victim who had been missing for seven years.

The ending is heartbreaking

Escape from the bad guy's claws. After reuniting with his family, the story should begin to move towards a better place, but the reality is cruel and ruthless.

Panel was sentenced to only seven years in prison for . He was released from prison with parole while serving five years in prison and was not punished enough.

. The media management was chaotic at that time, and Steven was not protected by privacy: After returning to school, he was bullied by his classmates; when he returned home, it was difficult to integrate into his family, so he finally chose to drop out of school .

His own story was also made into a TV series and was nominated for awards. Steven was very happy. Even though it was raining heavily outside, he wanted to go home and tell his family the good news.

But reality is sometimes full of drama: Steven was hit by a car on the way home, and the driver escaped. , and Steven died of severe injuries after being sent to the hospital for one hour. He was only 24 years old and .

Steven's experience and ending are sad and heartbreaking. In recent years, "child sexual assault" has occurred frequently, and many people have focused on "girl sexual assault", while "boy sexual assault" incidents have been ignored. But there may be more victims than everyone thinks.

1. Sexual assault of boys is actually no less than that of girls

According to 27 Chinese children's sexual assault studies between 2002 and 2012, the prevalence rate of sexual assault of boys was 13.8%, which is almost comparable to that of girls (15.3%).

is affected by gender restrictions, and most victims will remain silent. Sometimes, relatives around you may also be "perpetrators".

A boy who was sexually assaulted, his father's first reaction after learning about the incident was: "Luckily you are a boy."

What's more excessive is that these men who have been sexually assaulted are likely to bear another labeling prejudice: when they grow up, they may also violate others.

2. Children's sexual assault: 7 Become a "acquaintance committed crime"

In recent years, incidents of sexual assault on children have occurred frequently and have received more and more attention. But many parents may not understand that many of these "devils" who hurt their children are relatives and friends around them...

Ren Xiangyu, a member of the Family Sex Education Branch of the Chinese Sex Society and an intermediate lecturer at the Girls Protection Fund, said that Among the cases of sexual assault on children published in all media in 2020, 74.04% of the cases of sexual assault on children were committed for acquaintances .

They will use their acquaintance to get close to their children and gain their trust. In addition, if their identities are authoritative to their children, it will be even more difficult to be discovered. In the mouths of child sexual assault victims, the bad guys are like this:

"I call that person his uncle, because we are related to blood ."

"I know their identity and their faces clearly."

"We are from the same place, His home lives not far from my home . "

And the places where children sexual assault victims are abused are often "on the mountain", "on the way home", "neighbor's home", "relative's home", and "own home".

3. Children's sex education will never bother to give children early

Many parents are reluctant to give their children sex education out of the mentality of "children should not be exposed to sex too early" and "knowing that they are afraid that their children will learn bad things too early", but bad people never think that their children are young, so children's sex education is urgent.

Especially for parents, should tell your children that if you encounter these behaviors, you should bravely say "no" :

. Someone invites you to eat candy, asks you to get on your car, or asks you to follow him;

. Someone gives you gifts and money, asks you to hug or touch you, and is too intimate with you;

. Someone makes physical contact with you that makes you uncomfortable;

. Someone wants to take photos of your private parts with your mobile phone or camera;

. A guest comes to your home and wants to touch your private parts while your parents are not around;

7. Someone wants you to touch your private parts.

If the child is unfortunately infringed, parents should also assume "responsibility":

Call the police, collect evidence - take the child to the hospital for examination in time - encourage the child to tell the facts - tell the child that it is wrong, it is still a good child, and parents still love him - and finally take the child to receive psychological counseling. The missing sex education of

makes children ignorant when facing infringement. When they grow up, they will not learn to respect and understand sexually. Therefore, it is important to strengthen children's sex education, which is also the first step in gender equality.
