A boy disappears after meeting up with an online gamer. Benson suspects her son is being bullied.
This sounds like the Breck Bednar case over here in the UK.
ReplyDeleteI thought the part about the investigation of an 8 year old was good. Casting of the the kidnapper was great,he was creepy and sinister. Everyone on the squad contributed significantly, except Fin. He was used very sparingly, why I don't know. IMO the subplot between Benson and Noah was so intentional and it was blatantly written to give a bias view of a kid deciding his sexuality at a very early age. Noah decides his sexuality at the age of 8, an age where kids think they know everything and admit many years later how wrong they really were. Here, Noah talks like he is 15 or 16. This wasn't exactly a simple conversation Noah and Benson had. The two characters were so "out of character" if you ask me. Noah should have been very nervous, apprehensive and above all very scared when he was in that cage. Benson should have "hit the ceiling",demanding answers when they walked in on them. Instead she was calm collective and waited to talk to Noah later. Benson usually does a lot of accusing and arresting. I think even she knew it was a classic case of bullying, but the writers and producers didn't want to explore that in the subplot. They just wanted to glorify a very young child's premature choice of sexuality. I wonder if Stabler would have been so accepting.
