What do you think of this story? Do you find it sad? Also, what do you think of the situation of being taken from a bus? How would you feel if you were six years old at the time? It says he was happy to be home playing and laughing would you be that way, or would you be scarred for the rest of your life, or like him could you be back to playing with your toys? How DO YOU FEEL ABOUT WHERE HE WAS KEPT, AND NOONE KNEW?

This story is quite weird. I do find it quite sad though. At six our mind is weak, and can be told many things that are lies but yet believe them. But I would be scared for the rest of my life, being alone, it's a harsh life. But the fact that no one knew where he was dumbfounds me.
This story is crazy because the kid saw his bus driver get shot and then he was kidnapped and put in a bunker. I don't the kid will ever be the same after being put through trauma like that. Personally, I would be afraid for a little while but I would eventually become normal at some point. It's pretty awesome that he's going to have a big party and possibly go to one of the Disney theme parks.
I think that it was crazy. I do find it kinda sad. I would be scared if someone was holding me in a bunker. It's not something that you will ever forget but I wouldn't let it get to me. Why would he keep the child in a bunker. That's some crazy stuff.
I find this story very sad, having to deal with seeing your bus driver getting shot and then being put in a bunker for so many months at such a young age would be unbearable to me. I don't think I would have been able to go back to everyday life. It would take me awhile to cope and get back into my regular routine with all of my friends and family around. I think it is crazy that he was kept in a bunker and no one knew. I think they should do inspections of underground bunkers or any underground compartment. This is the second or third time out of a year or two that they have found a child stuck in an underground or unknown location. I think it is time to do something about it. A lot of states don't even need bunkers so they shouldn't have them. If you live in a place where the weather conditions or any other conditions do not call for a bunker then you do not need one.
This story is crazy. A random man takes a boy into a bunker because of gun rights? Crazy. Its really sad that people protest the gun rights by causing acts like this that make them want to take it. If i was six years old I would be terrified. I would probably be happy and act like nothing happened.
I think that it is terrible that he had to go through something like that at such an early age. It is very sad. I think that makes buses look less safe and may have parents question the safety of their children. I would be happy to be home but I would never forget what happened and it would definitely effect my life.
The scariest part of the story is the fact that I wasn't shocked as I read it. Kidnappings and shootings have become a part of our every day lives now. It's really disturbing how "creative" people have become. When I say that, I mean how they plot things, what weapons they use, where they keep hostages, their reason behind the whole mishap, and why take 1 kid out of 20? I'm curious as to why he had explosives, what his motive was, and why he had a court date the next day? What was his dispute with his neighbor? I think Ethan is a really strong little boy and it didn't affect him as much as it would other children because he has Autism. I'm so glad that when he returned home he was happy and playful. Most people become traumatized and it's hard for them or their family to move past everything. I'm impressed with how far our police departments have come when it comes to investigations. Yes, it took a week to find him, but they found him and did a practice procedure to make sure that it was done correctly and safely. I think that if this happened to me, it would be a life changing experience. Not technically in a bad way, but I'm too optimistic to let things keep me from staying up.
I have heard a lot about the Bunker story and I find it so sad. My thoughts go out to the little boy and his family because I know he must be so traumatized right now. When I heard about the bus driver trying to protect the little boy and how he was shot down while trying to stop the kidnapper, I thought that was very brave of him. When your that young your mind is so innocent and 6 year old's are so harmless. The little boy probably had so many scaring thoughts going through his head that week. If I were to have gone through that situation I would most certainly still be very terrified. When I heard about how he was held in the bunker the first thing that popped in my head was, "I wonder how many other kidnappers have thought about using a bunker as a secluded place to hold a child captive". There are really some wacko's in this world and when children go missing I think they should start thinking of the most unlikely place for them to be before something similar happens again.
