Three days ago a young, 5 year old kindergartner was taken hostage from his school bus and the stand-off still continues today. He was abducted by Jimmy Dykes, a Vietnam war veteran with anti-government views. Dykes took the boy to a homemade bunker in his back yard that he had been building on and off for a few years in the middle of the night.
The boy was kidnapped from his school bus that was taking him home. The bus driver, Charles Poland, was shot four times and killed by Dykes when he refused to let him take any children. Dykes the proceeded to grab one child and transport him to the bunker. The young boy suffers from Asperger's syndrome and attention deficit disorder, said State. Rep. Steve Clouse.
Jimmy Dykes, however, has been able to communicate with police through a plastic tune and the police have been able to give the child some comforting items. For example, a red hot wheels toy and a box of cheezits. Dykes has also told police that he as electricity in the bunker and he has an electric heater with blankets the keep the boy warm at night. In a press release the Sheriff has thanked Dykes for allowing the boy to be provided with these commodities
There are a few things that people might find to be conflicting with their ideas. For example, do you think that the Sheriff should thank Dykes for meeting a few of the boys specific needs? And do you think that there could be a possible excuse for what is going on here? (Dykes suffers from PTSS).
Either way, when all of this is wrapped up Dykes should be treated for his psychological problems and be put in jail for a good amount of time.
