I suppose someone with more knowledge of abduction psychology can understand it better, but posting online messages to his own parents just seems mean.

First thing that came to my mind was "The Stockholm syndrome".
We have no way of knowing what the kidnapper said or did either. He may have threatened to kill the kids' family or something if he contacted them. Maybe he was hoping to give them clues to find him without arousing the suspicions of the kidnapper.
