Oh dear...

At least Shannon is alive and appearing well.

Hopefully at the stage where she was found she may have been in the early stages where he was gaining her trust...

I knew something wasnt right with this guy, and said to OH more than meets the eye with this man,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,perhaps that why she didnt go home and the step uncle thought he was keeping her safe,,

hopefully things did not get to any no return stage,,,,,,,,,,,,,

BBC confirm it is the step-father who has been arrested so perhaps the uncle who abducted her knew what was going on and took her away to protect her?

Just my opinion,

Don't think the step uncle was protecting Shannon as the police would have let him go by now if that was the case.

He is still in custody.
and as for the step father can't put on here what I would do with all men that download images of children and men who abuse children.

These single mums have to be careful of who they meet and take home.

There are so many pervs out there, and the mums think they are really kind to their children, and think they have meet another man to take care of them all, and all they men want is to get at the children.

I know not always the case, but you must beware when you have children.
