I Know My First Name Is Steven Part 1/14

Ripped straight from the headlines! On December 4, 1972, seven-year-old Steven Stayner got into a car with a stranger who convinced the boy that he was his new dad. Steven was mentally and physically abused in the most horrifying ways. Seven long years later, Steven miraculously finds his way home. But his nightmare isn't over yet — not until his captor is brought to justice.

Just glad Steven had 10 years of true love with Jody .I know it aint alot but yeh was loved and had children achieved so much in little time .But it haunts me this movie to just heartbreaking

Steven is dead. Timmy White, the child he saved, died too young at the age of 35. So much tragedy. The only bright spot is that Parnell finally died in 2008. Hopefully Steven and Timmy are at peace now. Parnell, maybe not so much so.

Thanks for posting this movie.  Very sad story. This family was really dysfunctional. Cary Stayner was already strange when he was a kid. The kidnapping was not what caused him to be this way.

Steven Stayner left behind 2 Children,

And a Family who loved him...

His Brother Cary Stayner is a Serial Killer (Yosmite)

And Did It Becauz He Wanted A Movie Deal Like Steven Had.. (Can We Say Pathetic?)

&& Kenneth Parrnell is back in Prison he was let go adventually after this,

And was re-arrested for buying a young boy over seas, and found all kinds of

"Photos and Toys!" same stuff Steven Went through..

- - RIP Steven Stayner: Yur A Hero and Fighter To Ppl && Esp To Ppl You Saved! <3<3 - -

This story haunts me. If there is a God, why would he allow this child to be put on earth to be tortured day after day? And then allow for the horrible death he suffered at the hands of someone who couldn't be bothered to stop drinking before he got behind the wheel of a car? Awful and so, so disturbing. The kidnapper--the women who would participate--all sick, twisted minds. Poor Steven. Poor souls who suffer in these ways.

This movie is paramount for child safety. In my neighboorhood(which is bad) parents allow 5 and 6 yr olds to walk home from school alone. As painful as child abduction is these parents will learn one HELL of a lesson in life. A lesson that could easily have been avoided with a little responsabillity and maturity. Also, these parents I mentioned are of course teenage parents who treat thier kids like shit because they have to be parents and can't get drunk and high and party.

Things were much different in the 70's. it wasn't unusual at that time for parents to let their children walk home from school by themselves, go to friends houses unsupervised etc. It really wasn't until John Walsh's son was abducted and murdered that people were really made aware that this could happen to their child and how important it is to teach your child their address and phone number and how to ask for help if they get into trouble.
