  1. It’s important to note Shawn never had any agreement with his captor. An agreement is one predicated legally in good faith. An imperfect & very crude way to illustrate this contrast is if a perp agrees with law enforcement to a plea deal made under duress or for a specific example something like the Guðmundur and Geirfinnur case. He was psychologically manipulated to the extreme with the threat of mortal violence against him and his family while being isolated and habitually tortured. That’s not an agreement. That’s called survival. It’s an instinct that pushes the human body and mind to survive long beyond what is normally capable. His ability to stay mentally sane and lucid in over 1500 days of captivity is remarkable. In these cases ppl often conflate freedom of movement with freedoms from captivity. But they neglect the burden of manipulation Shawn’s under like him being made to feel responsible for the death of his entire family or ppl not believing him and enduring another drawn out torture session. When he truly felt alone and no one would help, his brain just survived. It’s truly heartbreaking man what a strong kid.
