And worst of all, her family took his side. Her mother knew about it and did practically nothing. Her sister shunned her and has no contact to this day, because she doesn’t want her bubble to be burst, she wants to keep believing he’s a good person; and even takes her kids to see him often.

This story (and Xiana’s) were incredibly covered in my hometown (Vallejo) back then. Xiana went to my school and we all volunteered to look for her and then when Midsi was kidnapped and later escaped, it was joyous, but deeply painful and impacted her in ways this short doc can’t begin to express. The trauma was profound and unfortunately is lifelong. I can only empathize and pray for her and her family. Later on, I had the wonderful pleasure to teach her daughter and what a beautiful child she came out to be! I’m so proud of what she accomplished and overcame in the midst of a horrible experience

I was abused when I was 6 by a camp counselor. Well, not even a camp counselor. One of the goddamned cooks. I still don't remember it fully, but I do remember being taken to his cabin and then extremely well defined blank spots, multiple times. and being taken to see a doctor by other camp staff, but I didn't know what was going on. The amount of rage I have towards that man is incomprehensible, but I know it likely pales in comparison to that which people like Midsi have who endured _so much more_ than I did. I'm shaking with fury with tears streaming down my face midway through this video. I still don't understand how "people," can do this sort of thing to *fucking children.*

Gotta understand that was just a quick rendition of the story and could've also happened very fast but time slows in fight or flight situations. Sounds like she was going perpendicular towards the street and the drivers proly weren't seeing a guy chasing her as he was way behind and their eyes are on the road, and for all we know people did end up stopping down the way once they got a passing glance of the situation.. She may not of been paying attention to them stopping once she hopped into the the guys truck.. For all we know traffic WAS slowing down for her, which finally gave her the urge to finally jump out. lots was proly going on for a child's mind to remember the whole picture and all she remembers is panic/fear - and I need to stop one of these cars and get in asap. I doubt most people aren't going to choose not to save a child, so I wouldn't be to negatively critical of the drivers. The party was a bad idea for sure, unfortunately the parents/family weren't thinking right. Sad

I never understand why, when a kidnapped child is found alive and returned, that people think it's okay to immediately hold them up in front of a huge swarm of people and parade them all over tv. They just went through a traumatic experience. Those children need protection and anonymity, not to become the poster child for returned children. Yes every wants to know theyre safe and well, but they dont need to become a media circus for that to happen.

This reminds me of the case of Johny Linn Sells and crystal. Sells had been so very cruel to others, but was never caught. Until crystal. She was 10, she was traumatized, she was broken. But she still went onto that stand and locked him up. Truly astonishing what some people can do

Tommy Lynn Sells… the wildest part about his case that is rarely talked about is the mother who was convicted of killing her son and sent to prison for years…. Until a biographer of Sells recognized his handiwork in the crime and got him to confess. Other physical evidence corroborated his confession and the mother was exonerated.

That truck driver was quick thinking to get a license plate of a car that was speeding away.

Midsi is a hero, I can guarantee she has saved so many lives by her strength , lots of love and respect from 🇦🇺

This was a very emotional story. Almost brought to tears a few times. What a hero the truck driver is. Sent from heaven.

There aren't many things more heartbreaking than hearing a desperate parent plead for their kidnapped child's return. 😢

Very brave woman. She endured an experience she'll never forget. I'm glad to see she is helping others. Stay strong, and hopefully her little girl grows to be strong also.

Mitzi you are an amazing woman. you saved yourself! what a strong little girl was in you! I am so sorry this monster was out on the streets and did this to you. You put him in prison and saved so many children. I hope life brings you all the happiness in the world for you and your daughter. You are a survivor!

This girl grew into a woman with such a beautiful heart. I am amazed at her story and how she’s working to teach and help others to prevent and overcome the same terrible situation.

I'm crying here. The courage of Midsy is mind blowing. One thing to tell our kids is that if they feel uncomfortable about a guy in a car alone, then stop and go back toward home. Or go into the first driveway they see and knock on the door.

The day she is returned to her parents they put her on blast in a public birthday party at a time when she prolly doesn't want to talk or see anybody.. Shame on the parents. You can see she isn't having a good time at her birthday party.

Celebrating her return. What's your thought if the girl said how sad she wS that no one celebrated her birthday? Had to know the right thing. Walk in their shoes before judging.

​@Joseph Oakley - they obviously thought they were doing the right thing. It's truly tragic that in 2000, child psychologists; law enforcement etc didn't educate the family that counselling was needed and a public court testimony & homecoming weren't in her best interests.

As a law enforcement transcriptionist for two counties in California, I hear a lot from Mexican families and kids. It seems to be a cultural thing.. There are a lot of parties, lotta drinking, any reason to celebrate whatsoever. A lot of kids get sexually abused at these parties too, from what I've heard! Although they may not speak up for a decade or more. This party seems really inappropriate and f*ed up to us but in some cultures it's "normal" I guess

Thanks to her fortitude and strength of mind, this child *saved* *herself* ⭐️ Girl, you’re a STAR!-I hope you will always think the very best of yourself, Midsi: You’re a model of courage not only for girls, or for kids, or for just women-but a model of courage for *all* people!🎖

That truck driver was a pure angel from God. Some men may be fearful to assist a little girl. Bless him for following his instincts.

I should add that my beliefs in Gods are not solidified. But if there is a God, that man is sent from above and did the right thing

What a beautiful and strong role model. I cannot believe her school mates bullied her after everything she went through. Kids are brutal.

Wow!!! the strength she possesses now and at the age on 8 is remarkable. To go through that hell and make it out took a lot of courage, smarts, and hope. Bless her and all the kids of the world who endured such evil.

I’m really proud of her.. Such a strong, brave, smart girl.. I’m so glad she survived & put that monster behind bars! I hope he rots in hell for everything that he did to those poor children..

She's amazing!! R.i.p. xiana and all the other Angels!😢 I hope to be able to help many children someday.

What a brave, strong and smart little girl. Thank God she got away and someone helped her. That dude deserves every bad thing that came his way.

He doesn't want to spend time in a cell block as he says,in order to give the names and bodies of the little girls he killed,to their families???? what a jerk! There must be some "deal"so that the families can get their children back!!

She is a true survivor; someone who not only escaped, but someone who has meaning and purpose in her life. Bravo to her and to the man who rescued her.

Amazing woman!!!! They should give her an award for strength and perseverance xx❤❤

I´m shocked to see the images of her right after the release...all the people celebrating her b day party...man, she has just had the most horrific 48 hours...NOT ready to party, AT all! Poor child! What was going on people minds??

What an amazing, little girl. She has saved so many lives....and what an amazing mature woman. She saves so many lives.

She is an incredible woman. Her story should reach all and inspire the youth to make change. This broke my heart. I’m so proud people like her exist♥️

There’s no word for what he his. He literally pulled up to her house knowing her family was searching and she was there… that’s so evil.

I remember Midsi from her sharing her story and will never forget her resilience, bravery and intellect. She is a strong living force❤

I'm bawling. Why do people do these things to other humans let alone children? Literal children? Thank God for her hero and his quick thinking.

I remember this story hit hard in Socal when I was 12. I'm happy she's redeemed her life and has made those changes for her daughter.

I know people meant well but the last thing this kid needed after escaping was to be paraded through crowds of people cheering. I also don't understand how such a small kid isn't in hospital with serious injuries after being SA'd by a grown man.

God bless to Midsi and her family, and to the brave decent man who helped her. 🙏 Rest in peace to all the victims who pass away🙏

What a living embodiment of heroism, kindness, sensitivity and true beauty

The fact no one stopped for a child that was clearly in pain and wanting help with her mouth open widely, telling that she was screaming. It took her to risk her own life to get help

Bless her heart. No one should have to face that kind of ordeal. Rest in peace to the others that weren't fortunate enough to have gotten away.

I'm such a fan of the work you guys do here. The way you tell the story is full of empathy, sensibility and care for the victim. And better than that, you show that those people are more than victims: they are survivors. And the respect this channel gives to all the families is truly heartwarmig. I'm a big fan of true crime and yours is my favorite channel because you guys tell their stories as it should be told. They are fighters, they are survivors, they are inspirations.

anyone having to be on the stand and relive their trauma in front of a whole room including the perpetrator makes me feel awful. especially heartbreaking when it’s kids. so much bravery in these people.

She's a beautiful, tough survivor. God bless her, her family, the police and the truck driver who saved her life🙏❤️

Omg!! So sad what she went through. Thank God for that truck driver. When they met again I bawled like a baby.

Midsi is so clever, beautiful, and strong. It's almost unbelievable to me that she and I are the same age. I know where I was and what I was doing in 2000, and I have to wonder how many kids that age would have been able to survive what she did. I'm so glad she lived to escape and was able to hold that monster accountable. Love and well wishes to you and your family, Midsi. ❤️💕

Bless her heart! I wonder if he took Michaela Garecht. I'll never forget when this was happening in the bay area. A school mate and neighbor was taken and she didn't survive. I remember her like it was yesterday and, how our whole neighborhood tried so hard to get her back. I hope he rots in hell for what he did and how he's made so many suffer. He's a demon. I'm so glad Midsi made it out and has her life back.

Bro I can watch these videos of yours forever. You are an INCREDIBLE narrator. Thank you for this!!

What an inspiring young woman 💕 I wish all the best for Midsi and her daughter, as well as her rescuer.

Imagine seeing a car covered in towels and blankets. Don’t you think that’s worth investigating?
