    My mom accidentally stopped a kidnapping. (Putting this into her pov) It was December 13th, 1987. Me and my friend Grace were going door to door in a nearby neighborhood, handing out Christmas mass panflets from our school. We heard a little boy yelling across the road, and we walked back onto the sidewalk to see what was happening. A man was trying to lift this eight year old boy from his front yard, and a large car/van was parked about 40 feet away. Me and my friend yelled at him, and I held my phone in the air, making sure that it was visible to him. Sure enough, he ran away and the boy ran back inside his home. I never went to that neighborhood again.

If someone doesn't seem trustworthy to me, I will not let them watch a kid. This extends past the worst case scenario to things like simple responsibility.

    These women, the young girls that they were, never should’ve been forced to be so strong and grow up so fast but they did an incredible job! So proud of them for sharing their stories. I’m finally at the point that I’ve started to consider sharing my own story beyond just my family, therapists, and friends. Kidnapping and assault are way more common than people realize. In 2013 when I was 21 I was drugged at a bar, abducted right in front of a bar full of people, taken to a secondary location and sexually assaulted/beaten for 4 hours before being dumped back by the bar. I wasn’t rescued. I didn’t mastermind my own escape. No one even knew I was missing. I just got so incredibly lucky that this random man didn’t kill me. I had such severe PTSD for years that it caused seizures. It wasn’t until 2019 that I could be alone again. And then CBT helped my PTSD and made the seizures stop. This kind of trauma is indescribable and I can’t imagine having to heal in the public eye like so many of these survivors are forced to do.

    With Natalia's case its really hard to believe that our blood would do that and I'm in a situation where my mum is the "bad person" and there is a massive part of me wanting to believe its not all her fault and so I, through my few years of experiencing these problems, have concluded that we, as a species, can't completely come to terms with someone we have known for so long, who's cared for us, who knows us inside and out to be the "bad guy" of our stories and we all want to hope that its not all on them.

    The story Natalia told was very impactful to me due to being in a similar situation with my father when I was a kid - he had weekend custody and didn’t take me home, instead we went on a wild goose chase that lasted three days where we stayed at several different motels while he was in the throes of a schizophrenic delusion. It’s harrowing, but it’s nice to hear a story akin to mine that I can relate to. I hope i can recover like she did.

It does feel awful. If you can, look for help in your area. Sliding pay scale or groups that specifically help women work through trauma.

    Forgiveness is actually about BOTH the sinner and the sinnee. If we forgive them in Jesus' name, they are forgiven, said Jesus. If we forgive not, then their sins are not forgiven them, he added. This all comes with a catch: ""If ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father in heaven forgive you YOUR trespasses. But if ye forgive men their trespasses your Father in Heaven will also forgive you of YOUR trespasses."" How do we forgive best? With the help of Christ. When we remember all that God has forgiven us for, it is!much easier to forgive others. But those who claim to not need forgiveness will remain unforgiven by God.

    You're right, not everyone should do it. Forgiveness doesn't help some people, it doesn't help a lot of people. As a trauma survivor forgiveness doesn't help me, it makes me angry and sad and like I want to punch the air out of frustration. Forgiveness only works to a point, the thing that helps is catharsis. Catharsis comes from many things, but it comes from closure which forgiveness can provide, but forgiveness can also just make you feel like catharsis is never in reach now. Everyone should try forgiveness, but if it doesn't help you don't feel like you're a worse person because you couldn't forgive. You don't need to forgive them, you need to find your catharsis and closure.

    I’ve heard Kara’s story before. As soon as I heard her mention the plastic container in the back seat I knew it. I remember hearing how she memorized the serial number on the container and I was mind blown. That one detail stuck with me because it’s truly amazing. Most people in that situation would not have the forethought to do that. And her quick thinking and bravery not only saved her own life but got answers for the families of three other young girls. This man’s other victims, if you don’t know, were 16 year old Sofia Silva and 15 & 12 year old sisters Kristin & Kati Lisk. I wish these four had been able to get true justice but I’m glad that this monster will never hurt another person again. And I’m so happy that Kara was able to use her trauma and her experience to help others. Thank you Anthony for sharing these stories with us.

When Natalia mentioned that, I looked more into her story and saw that she’s from Ohio, which is where I lived in 2004, I was 8 years old at the time. I know I’ve for sure been to Cedar Point at some point in my childhood. I got CHILLS thinking I could have potentially witnessed this as a kid.

    @@cringeweebooo60 Wow! I have to say: I'm sorry, ONLY because you had to deal with major assholes. That isn't right at all. I noticed you wrote 'around half' of your life so I doubt it was all happiness but I grew up without any sisters or brothers. I can see some positives growing up around people my age for sure. Yeah, I know there are negatives but unless I know where exactly you grew up and why it's so sad, I just view it as a different upbringing. I have just never understood why housing matters to people. I was born and still live in New York, but about 3 hours north of NYC in a very rural area. Seriously: two of my 4 neighbors are huge farms (one corn, one dairy) and just 5 minutes away my grandparents own 14 acres. But growing up in the 90s, my house was built in 1910. The roof leaked, bats got in a random hole (found it eventually though!), the foundation was cracking, and any money we had went to heat. A normal house around then was 1600 sqft and cost $100 in natural gas to heat. Ours was 3200 sqft (two apartments - us, and my great gram) and cost $1000 to heat as we had no insulation... even though there'd be 12 inches of snow outside. But man, I love that house. So many good memories. I want more than anything to buy it back one day. So... yeah. Lol, sorry that I spoke so much. The point I'm making is that where you grew up/live right now doesn't matter. How it shapes you as a person, like the good memories you have and the life lessons you learned, matter. And people who don't get that are dumb.

It was a constant thing he would say and lots of other things. It got to the point where my mom had to have police at our house at certain times to make sure he wasn't around to try it.

The crazy part is I completely accepted there was a bear like right behind me and I stayed super calm and remembered everything I’m supposed to do in case of a bear attack.

Their story is phenominal of how they were kidnapped, memorizing everything he has, make a plan for escape, and go to police and tell them she was kidnapped and give'em details of the kidnappers. "People hurt people, it's because they were broken." - Kara "Forgiveness isn't for the other person, Forgiveness is for you." - Natalia That's my favorite quotes. Kara and Nataila are legend.
