CarraghsGem 92 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I can still remember this story breaking, I was about 11 at the time but often wonder whatever happened to the lad, Thoughts go out to his family i dont remember the story hitting the news as i was very young at the time but i do remember it being talked about many many times when i was growing up between family. bump Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,024 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 (edited) Ive been going to the Greek islands for many years,was in Kos around 95 they had posters on the walls about the little lad Ben.........then when i went again around 03/04 they still had some up.........so although its little comfort of course its good to know they still remember which doesnt surprise me,your right what you say about the Greek culture but i also believe an incident like this wouldnt be forgotten there as in my experience most greeks have good morals and strong beliefs and would find this an embarassment to their culture and way of life etc.....if im not wrong Ben was taken from just outside the main town,i am going to Marmari later in the year which is a short drive away from Kos town,i,ll be interested to see if theres anything still there in relation to the lad. I remember that photo of the boy like it was yesterday,very sad i guess the only comfort is knowing he,s probably living a healthy life somewhere.....just he,s called the wrong people mum and dad all his life.

lanesra 3,994 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Remember it well , he was jst a bit older than my son , it sends a shiver down your spine jst imagininhis familys NIGHTMARE . Wonder whether they took the parents D.N.A. and put it in the police computers through europe / America and if the lad ever has to give a D.N.A. sample it would come up a match ????? just a thought .

kernel gadaffi 0 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 This something that'll be with me forever, I remember the reports on TV and in the press, then it happened again with Madeline, I had no kids myslef at the time, I do now and it frightens me that things can happen in an instant.
