TPTB botched that storyline as badly as the Cohens botched the situation. Art imitating life?
There were so many aspects that needed to be addressed, and instead it became ALL ABOUT "M" and that a boy's life was endangered while his "guardian" did nothing to safeguard him- on top of doubting him and even expressing possible regret at having him in his life- was completely ignored. We should have known then just how incapable the writers were of seeing the obvious and addressing what no one should possibly ignore.
There are a zillion resulting stories from this possible scenario. That doesn't mean you have to rush into anything, but so many are intriguing since there's no denying that it would force those responsible to take long, hard looks at themselves and their actions. Ryan was everyone's sacrifical lamb and no one cared enough, botton line, to stop, listen, pay attention and try to learn. Assumptions were made based on convenience, as was often the case when it came to Ryan.
