14YO Mysteriously Reappears 9 Months After Missing Her Bus | The Case Of Abby Hernandez

[@michelleorlando3702]

She is owed a huge apology from everyone who judged her without any facts. She won't get it, but she deserves the apology. She is a strong girl who not only survived, but thrived.

[@isometimespaintstuff]

I agree and I'd throw in a large settlement too.

[@samanthafairweather9186]

Nancy Grace always preaching about "Always believe the victim" yet calls an actual victim ( and a child at that) a liar disgusted me. She re-victimised Abby with those words, as did many, many other adults and media outlets. At least law enforcement continued to believe that Abby WAS abducted, and not a runaway - Which should always be the case until proven otherwise.

I was a victim of SA and still acted like everything was okay but inside... I was going through absolute TURMOIL and got very aggressive and hostile with people I loved.

​@Yhkz_jdiis victims shut down and get agitated when pressured to talk about traumatic things. That's pretty normal. Egging on someone who is trying to come down from a flight or fight response that lasted almost a year just pushes them to stay in flight or fight. They worry about getting through the day and not about planning for anything. Deflecting, disassociating, shutting down and lashing out is pretty darn typical of assault and kidnapped victims. On top of being made out to be a liar by news medias all over the world when you have vivid memories or the abuse you endured is a whole mess of emotions to top it all off.

I absolutely despise that woman & always have. It's one thing to have news shows and even dramatize news to an extent to get people's attention. What she does goes so far beyond that. First, she's a human vampire vulture, feeding off of the misery of others- usually normal people who wake up one day, or come home from work or grocery shopping or something and discover their loved one is missing or murdered and they're suddenly in the middle of a nightmare no one can even begin to prepare for. She's peppering them with personal questions in their most vulnerable state on live TV sometimes, then SHE decides their guilt or innocence within hours, usually based on something asinine like whether they've cried enough to satisfy her or how many people they dated in high school or maybe they had the audacity to go out and eat a meal with family or be seen laughing at something someon said. Then uses her platform of network tv to broadcast her "expert" opinion to millions about why this person is guilty or innocent, often influencing community involvement in the investigation & harassment of the family.

Exactly! Even IF (Hypothetically) it happened to turn out it was a run away case, either way, she’s still a young minor who needed to be found whether she was gone willingly or not! She’s too young to make that choice with no police follow up at the very least just to check on her well fare if nothing else. If my kid ran away, I would STILL be in constant panic and worry because there’s still danger out there that they need guidance in. Even life in general. So yea it was messed up to not realize how easily kids can be manipulated and lured into things. Willingly or abducted, she was 100% still a missing child!

So true. There are so many cultures around the world that blame women for the things that happen to them by someone else's hand. It's gross.

All the incels here just make excuses like, "they're all just crying wolf, making uo stories and is US who gets screwed over," or "its easy for a women to fake a report about SA." Like, nobody's denying women can't be monsters, too. The vast majority of these cases aren't faked, though, and believe they are as a rule is just so backwards. You'd think if people really believed these victims weren't behaving like victims do, allegedly, they take it upon themselves to figure out a way to stop the process of making victims in the first place. Nope to that, too. People just want to speculate and pat themselves on the back for "figuring it out" in their own minds. This country is seriously sick. So much wrong.

I slept with an eighteen year old when I was thirty-six. She had two babies at the time, having been pregnant at age fifteen. I thought to myself that this was going to be super easy as pie to sleep with this girl. She was eighteen with two babies from two different fathers. Nothing I just said is illegal. When I met her, I was already sleeping with her aunt, but the aunt left town for a couple months to be with her baby's father. The niece called me every single day to smoke my weed with her. I went there every day to hang out. We ended up sleeping together. She isn't that attractive. She told me to keep our relationship a secret because she was embarrassed. She didn't want her aunt or friends to know. One Friday, I dropped her babies off with their separate fathers. One was forty minutes away. I drove them all over the place with the expectation that we were going to be spending the night together after I dropped the kids off. Her friend came by the house and she said they were going to the store and will be right back. I waited and I waited. She was gone a very long time for a store that is right up the street. I called her phone and there was no answer. She did NOT come back. She ditched me for her friend. I kept the baby seat that she left behind in my car. Livid, I called her aunt and revealed to her the secret that I had been sleeping with her niece. I figured that would start a confrontation between the two women and I would have my revenge. The aunt confronted the niece about it. The niece said that it was non-consensual and that I touched her in her sleep, which is false. The aunt confronted me afterwards and believed her niece's lies, which is nonsensical. Why would I come forward with the information before her if it wasn't consensual? The criminal isn't the one who reports their crime, the victim does. The niece never even mentioned it until I said something first. If she was a victim, she would've came forward way before I did. It's common sense. They sent thugs to attack me and I scared them off. I refused to return the baby seat she left in my car. I threw it in a dumpster. There were no charges or police involved, only criminals who threatened violence. I ended up making amends with the women, but we are not friends. People in their circles still think of me as a predator. The first time I was accused was almost IDENTICAL. I had been sleeping with my friend's girlfriend behind his back and I felt guilty. I have a conscience. The girl and I had a falling out, so I exposed the secrets and lies to her boyfriend. Same as the other story, she says to him that it wasn't consensual. She tells him that I forced myself on her. He believed her and they stayed together, having a son eventually. The two spread rumors about me for a decade. No confrontation at all. Ten years later, she asks me out on Facebook and I date her. She has a son with the ex-boyfriend and she has gained weight, but she gives me a free car. The ex was perplexed why she would date me and give me a car. He assumed I was this monster she painted me as. I recorded our phone conversations and got her to admit she had lied about me all those years. I still have the recording. We dated until I walked in on her cheating on me. I obviously kept the car. She is a tramp.

I was very involved in Abbies disappearance, I passed out fliers and rallied for her, and the horrendous abuse she endured was hell. Had it not been for zenya, and a close family friend who I have remained friends with- keeping her name alive on a daily basis, I don't think Abby would have the strength to endure 9 months of hell. The cruel words of people killed me. She is a survivor and we are blessed to have Abby still here with us.

It infuriates me when people so easily will say “that’s not how a victim acts” Look at the recent case of a Colorado surgeon who was serial drugging and graping women on dating apps… he was just sentenced. 158 YEARS.

God thats so sad, I rather believe the victim specially when she refuses to talk and say who it was.

Poor Abby.

[@bunniie143]

Tbh everyone who claimed she "didnt act like a victim" owes her. An apology, money, something. You should never say someone wasn't a victim of something based solely on if they behave in a way that YOU dislike. Everyone processes trauma differently.

[@catserver8577]

This is why people need to take a pause before making judgmental crappy posts about victims. When people do that, they become part of the suspect's process. The victim is still in the horrible experience when you do that. I am speaking right to the people who make comments like that. You are guilty of being part of the evil when you do that. Do you get that?

The normalization of judging victims is an actual tactic. People who create victims, of any kind, don't want their victims believed, so they call into question any victims. By protecting other perpetrators they protect themselves. Apparently the rest of us are just dumb enough to go along with it.
