Those kids are a lost cause by this point. They have been so poisoned and brainwashed, they will never be reclaimed

I disagree. There’d be similarities with people raised in cults who escape, so I have hope.

I'm an eternal cynical pessimist

Maybe you need deprogramming 😝

if you had any idea the self-deprogramming I've had to do over the last 20 years ...

Agreed Just imagine if the dude was Māori, the military would have been deployed after a few weeks

I'm not willing to speculate on any of the outlying bits, but whatever happens, if these kids are ever recovered, they are going to need years of intense, possibly custodial deprogramming. I reckon Merc Mitchell would know a few sketchy fucks (off the books)

just surround the area they are thought to be in with speakers playing Luxon (Ferret Face) interviews, and it will enrage him to the point of recklessness or bore him to death

If the police CAN bring those children home, why haven’t they done so after 4 years?

Because everyone should mind their own business.

Because it's like 46,000 acres. You can hide in brush effectively. Eric Rudolph hid in the Nantahala national Forest for months. You can hear helicopters coming and hide under tree cover and never be seen. You couldn't get the manpower and funds to effectively search for someone trying to be lost
