Excuse me rape is NOT a “sexual experience” it’s physical torture that was in no way a choice of hers and I’m pretty sure he is more than just “creepy” he’s a disgusting, sick, and evil human being who raped a pre-pubescent child! So no this wasn’t a “sexual experience with a creepy man” and it’s actually really degrading to reduce it to that.

Why? I did not like her treatment of R. Kelly but I think she handled this just fine.
Now, Wanda Barzee is out, and she's living blocks away from an elementary school in Salt Lake City. When a child from that school goes missing, the police are gonna have a field day and they're not gonna believe a damn thing she says if she isn't involved. Why? She's done it before, and she'll probably do it again. If she screws up again, my faith in humanity will be restored.

You get your period between 9 and 16. Elizabeth didn't have her period during the time of her horrific kidnapping. If she went missing for as long as Jaycee or the Cleveland girls. That fate would have been possible. Barzee shouldn't be released at all.

I got my period at 12. Its not that crazy that she asked about not getting pregnant
This is sad. This is what people mean when they say the criminal justice system protects criminals
If my husband would ever did this I wouldn't even have a second thought about turning him in and we have been married for 28 years I wouldn't hesitate to get him in jail because I don't think that no one should have to go through this and we need to keep a eye on the sexual predators and rapists They need to be monitored 24/7.

Why do they let people out of prison at all? Do they think their mental health improved while they were in there? Do you think they'll be more constructive after prison strips away their humanity? Yeah, a life sentence doesn't make sense, but neither does letting them out with this system

The media should not be going into Elizabeth's traumatic experiences in such detail. This should not be news. It is just another form of abuse. And you wonder why the world is the way it is. Blessings to Elizabeth!
Sexual prevents are never rehabilitated are they?
She is totally accurate describing Wanda as dark an evil. The problem is that when free she will still be dark and evil. The community will suffer. Apart from all of this ....I think her sentence for what she did to Elisabeth should have been life in prison.
I cannot believe this monster Wanda has 6 kids…

she is right. ur terrified to run away. mentally ur trapped. and the worse thing is u lost ur childhood forever.

Her father must be late to the interview with the Hershey highway being packed.
She’s very lucky because there have been stories of women in the same situations at the same age who have gotten pregnant before they thought they had puberty even before they got there first. Or any signs of it. She had a strong Christian faith and I feel God was with their her the whole time. And Nova didn’t allow this to happen man allowed this to happen. I hate it when people say God allowed this horrible thing to happen. No God put us on this earth with free will. She was safe because she had more to accomplish in this life
