They wanted to call his father in Sweden. I said go a head .The father doesnt really speak english at all. They had problems with that.
Plus I told them how could I kidnap a teenager. It is not like I could carry him around.
They let us back in to our home. Only time they acted stupid in my eyes.

To name a few more widely known cases; there have been many others of abducted children and teens held through brainwashing and threats against them and their families or others.
I'm not saying the CBP questions they way they are done are useful or justified, or will catch every case, but it's not as simple as above.
