Default Boyhood relationships with older males

I suspect that you won't get many visitors since most boys who have
sexual encounters with older males wind up dead as in the below
article. Pedophiles are sick *******s who need to be euthenized.

POST FALLS, Idaho - Hundreds of people carrying balloons gathered
Saturday to remember Dylan Groene on what would have been his 10th
birthday, with a pastor telling mourners: "God is throwing a better
party for him than you could ever possibly imagine."

Mourners release hundreds of balloons after a memorial for Dylan
Groene.

The boy's body was found in Montana within days of his 8-year-old
sister Shasta's rescue earlier this month after the two were allegedly
abducted by a convicted sex offender.

Shasta was spotted at a restaurant with the man, who has since been
charged with three counts of murder and kidnapping in the deaths of the
children's 13-year-old brother, mother and her boyfriend. Their bodies
were found in the family home.

All six charges can carry the death penalty. Federal prosecutors have
said they will file charges against Joseph Edward Duncan III, 42, in
the abduction of the children and Dylan's death.

Friends and family on Saturday remembered how Dylan loved video games
and motorcycle riding with his dad. Lana Hamilton, principal of Fernan
Elementary School in Coeur d'Alene, said he also was a fan of monster
trucks and Hot Wheels toy cars.

"We love him and we'll miss him," Hamilton said.

Among those at the service was Amber Deahn, the Denny's waitress who
recognized Shasta with Duncan and stalled her milkshake order until
police could arrive.

"They have us as a family now, too," Deahn said of the Groenes. "This
is like burying one of my own relatives."

More than 700 people filled a church for the ceremony.

Shasta, the sole survivor of the brutal crimes, did not appear to be at
the memorial service but her rescue was noted by Pastor Jim Putman.

"I thank God for the miracle he gave us bringing Shasta back," Putman
said during the hour-long service. "God has plans for that little
girl."

In his only reference to Duncan, the pastor said: "God takes care of
evil, and I can trust him to do it. When he punishes, he does it far
better than I could ever do."

During the service, Putman called for changes in sex-offender laws to
better protect children. Putman also read a note from the boy's father,
Steve Groene, who thanked community members and law enforcement.

After the service, Steve Groene led mourners outside where he released
the first of hundreds of red and blue balloons that floated up into the
overcast sky.
