9 YO Uses True Crime Skills From Favorite TV Show to Manipulate Captor | The Jeannette Tamayo Case

[@myguitarwantstokillyourmama]

Jeanette is such a hero in my eyes. She is so brave and strong, who knows what could've happened if she didn't fight as hard as she did. and even after all this trauma, the most important thing to her is how everyone else felt. she says "i got my family back" after going through torture that many of us can't even imagine. She is such an inspiration.

Their quick thinking definitely saved a lot of other children.

[@Liliarthan]

That part really got me. That she was repeatedly assaulted and had the strength to keep this piece of evidence instead of completely breaking down. Even adults would struggle to have that clarity of thought at a time like that. I am so sorry that you were subjected to cruelty that you did not deserve, that no one deserves. I’m so sorry that you carry with you the pain and trauma that should not belong to you. I really hope that you are able to find a way to work through that trauma to the point where it doesn’t affect you significantly every day. I know that it never goes away like it never happened, as much as it should, but I have heard that it is possible to process it and put it as behind you as much as it’s humanly possible. And I hope that day arrives for you soon. I have complex PTSD that has crippled me to the point where I can no longer work, or leave the house much, or be the kind of mother and partner I want to be. Many times I have wanted to give up because I didn’t think it was possible to heal from that level of trauma that went on for so long. I thought that that was going to be my forever. But recently I have tried a bunch of different therapies with various results, and through psychotherapy in particular I have been able to process some of the trauma to the point where it didn’t have the same visceral impact that it did before. I wish EMDR worked for me, and I hope that I’ll get to try MDMA/psilocybin assisted therapy one day soon, but those therapies have been really affective for many PTSD and cPTSD sufferers to permanently treat their symptoms and get on with their lives. I hope you have the means to look into trauma therapies and can get the support that you need to heal. ♥️♥️

[@KhanaHatake]

Not being able to issue an Amber Alert without knowing the identity of who took the missing child seems like a massive oversight/mistake.

[@popcorn5130]

I understand it's difficult for people's emotions to allow them to recognize why some emergency communication avenues require certain criteria, but they require those criteria for a reason. Saturating emergency communication avenues with missing reports that do not meet certain criteria could affect the urgency inferred by these communications in the future. If Amber Alerts were issued for every missing child (including, say, late-teenage runaways), they would be issued frequently in some areas, and people would start to become somewhat numb to them ("meh, prolly just another runaway") and maybe even neglect reading them when they alert. Restricting Amber Alerts to the most serious cases meeting required criteria (to include detailed suspect info that they can look out for) means people will know that they are urgent situations and they'll be willing to continue to react to them with the urgency they deserve. I have become somewhat skeptical of Amber Alerts since I've noticed some that were issued that didn't meet the criteria. But, since I post all local/regional missing reports to an FB Group, I do still read them all (though, if I didn't routinely post all area missings, I would likely not read all Amber Alerts or at least not with as much immediacy). Not issuing an Amber Alert does NOT mean no one is taking steps to find the missing subject. Like in this case, other avenues can be taken to get the word out - media, canvassing, search parties, etc.

[@MaddawgMar]

It can be, but it also can be disastrous if they do. Because you are essentially highlighting to the suspect that they are not identified and can incentivize them to kill the child before they are identified. They should have more, like a vehicle description and license plate. That way there is more of a chance to catch them before they are aware of the alert and do something bad

[@barbarella.artist]

@@popcorn5130 this CLEALRY doesn’t apply in this case… they OBVIOUSLY knew she was kidnapped. Not only was her family attacked they have footage of the car speeding away 🤦‍♀️ Like if that’s not enough for an amber alert that absolutely moronic The entire point of an Amber is to get the information out right that second …. Which could have meant someone recognise the car instantly - before he pulled into his house etc etc The amber alerts has saved thousands for that exact reason 😑 But cause they couldn’t see licence plate or know EXACTLY who did it they didn’t do an amber alert. That defeats the point of an Amber alert; To find them within the first 24 HRs which would save their lives … Not all states are like that! And the states who issue an amber alert instantly has highest success rates of saving the children So your points are stupid and misguided. Cause that’s the entire point of an Amber alert - if a kid is KNOWINGLY kidnapped… those added extra hours of going to the media could be that child could be killed before then .. Or the kidnapper could flea states, hide etc In most instances people recognise the car , child within an hour of their kidnap. I.e while they are within the same area of the kidnapping Which it was obviously clear SHE WAS KIDNAPPED

[@shaynelahmed6323]

@@barbarella.artist I agree with you. A verified kidnap, aggravating features..known rape of a child..mother and sibling brutally attacked..certainly enough of a description including enough of the blurry pic of the car..level of brutality...all together and independently warranted an amber alert immediately. Hope that PD reviewed their policy, and maybe had a senior officer allocated for cases where a judgement call was needed. This case definitely was a top priority witnessed child abduction

Issuing an amber alert without any other info is telling the suspect that we don't know anything about him. It is not safe for the child.

Beautifully said. ♥️

[@organicenglishinput]

So true

[@twit3537]

They all are extremely resilient people. The mother refusing to leave even with her conditioning declining until the paramedics had to FORCE her into the ambulance because she was going to keep going. The brother trying to attack the intruder TWICE despite taking a lot of hits to the face the first time. Both the mother and son not letting them being beaten bloody in the kitchen stop them from getting up and the mom chasing after the car while her brother went and got help. Then there is that badass, clever 9yo. She was not only stabbed (which, when watching I completely pushed out of my thoughts becasue of the other horrors she was going through, but she was assaulted repeatedly/horribly, calmed herself enough to manipulate her captor, gather evidence and HIDE the evidence right under the AHs nose AND remembered enough detail on top of that to get him pretty much captured as soon as he let her go. She did all that while in both mental and physical pain/distress (that required medical attention!). She is what my therapists would call resilient and Im glad she was able to get the therapy she needed to heal and is moving towards helping others and being advocates for others who are missing/experienced violence. If it wasn't for her ability to get him caught right away, who knows if he would have done this to another little girl (he most definitely stalked her/learned her routine to anticipate when she would alone, which is a very 'dedicated' or 'knowledgeable' predator who may have even done crap like this before, especially since him making her take showers after the assaults were 100% a tactic to remove the evidence left behind.) Overall imo she saved more than just her life when she was able to get free.

A reminder for me not to judge other parenting styles...I wouldn't let my 9 year old watch CSI or law and Order but those shows are a main contributer as to why this girl survived .

[@Liliarthan]

I was thinking the same thing! Like no way would I have let my child watch CSI at that age, but after hearing this case I’m like maybe it’s not such a bad idea 😖. I absolutely hate that children’s innocence are taken away so early, even by learning about these very real ‘monsters’ that walk among us, because of the perversion of a (significant) minority. My kids are much younger and I really don’t want to tell them about SA. But I have been having regular conversations with them about their private parts and why they mustn’t let anyone else touch them etc. Inevitably they ask “why”, a completely legitimate question - “what’s wrong with someone else looking at or touching them?” - kids that only stopped wearing diapers and getting their butt wiped by their parents and childcare teachers months ago. How do you even answer that 😞 Or how do you tell a 6 year old why they shouldn’t just trust any grown up, even a police officer, and what gut feelings are, and why they shouldn’t run out the front door to accept the package from the Amazon delivery driver… I absolutely hate that all of this is needed. I hate the people that ruins childhoods and people’s lives.

[@qwmx]

​​@@Liliarthan You can still protect a child's innocence while empowering them. I was not freaked out by murder, death even at the age of 6. I knew what those things were, and were warned many times about it and to never go with strangers and was schooled on what to do. People take for granted about children's resilience. Though when a child catastrophises it's usually because the parent catastrophises themselves and over dramatise the scenario more than it's needed. You don't need to explain SA to your child. you just need to tell your child that they will be hurt badly, more than they'll ever see on tv and could end up dead.

[@OtagesBringthemhome_NOW]

I totally understand. Every parent has so have age approciate talks and decide at which age certain programms are suitable for them. Mine certainly did edit Not watch it age 9. But not all children are the same either. Dangerous situations may come in the most inexpected ways. I remember my kids (boys) playing outside around our house with walkie talkies and at the time we thought nothing of it. Years later I encountered 2 little girls walking with their walkie talkie 's on as they walked by me on the street. Then I heard a man talking to them on their line. I immediately had that feeling of my hairs standing up. I signed to them and at their walkie talkie with my finger on my mouth to them to be quiet and then whispered to them, in their ears do you know this man? They said no they did not. I told them to turn the walkie talkies off. Then explained to them I was worried ( he gave me the creeps ) and asked if they lived nearby, thankfully they live only 1 street away so I told them I think your parents should know about this and asked if it was ok if I walked them home to explain the situation to their mother. Edit- I did not want to scare them and also think its not my place to have -that talk- with a stranger. They were glad I wanted to do that and their mom who was very very grateful. She had not thought of this possibility either. Maybe nothing would have happpened or it could be a creep with more sinister ideas. You never know. Yes its sad that children can not be brought up to be able to play outside as carefree as my generation could. But thanks to modern tv and the internet they also see and understand more than we did at such a young age. Nowadays as a parents and educator you have to learn about the many dangers online yourself and also teach and protect your children from that, often highly underestimated, danger too. Can't say I envy those parents.

[@FreaKzero]

Why not ? - its way better nowadays to make your own children sick by nowadays "child friendly" mainstreammedia gender and political programming right ? Get your Head straight... 80/90s Kids even watched things like Nightmare on Elm street as 10 - 14 year olds. Or think about "Dark Fairy Tales" before Modern Media - they for sure have their place even for Kids (=> BE AWARE OF PEOPLE) Most of "Kid Friendly Media" since the mid 2000s are political programming anyways - and give especially Kids the notion that every Human is good - Spoiler Alert: they arent As a Parent -especially also as a Father you should teach your Kids that "foreign people" what family belongs are "bad" and not trustable, one of the ways to teach that is that this "in general" known and not a restriction only from you as a parent. So imho - "GREAT" parenting what this thing belongs. But not enforced enough by the parents (since the girl opened the door)

As a woman, it’s always my biggest fear for something like this to happen to me. I almost never see crimes of kidnapping happen with men.

She is amazing smart and strong, and I know if I were in her situation, I wouldn’t be able to do the same. Edit: yes, men can be victims too, but women are the overwhelming majority of rape and sexual assault victims. How often do men get catcalled? Or hide pepper spray to protect themselves when walking on the streets? Stop saying that women don’t have it worse. It’s a clear-cut truth. Saying women have it worse doesn’t mean men don’t struggle either - but we all know that women have it worse.

This is a tip for womens. If you have long hair that makes it easy. The kidnappers could grab your hair and pull you to them and do not wear anything rich because they would know you are rich. They would ask for money to free you.

@MaxTheKeepet thank you I'm better now since we also moved away after that. I really hope they got what they deserve and that noone else got hurt in my place

[@disneytoysr4fun975]

@@minallouhmi781you were so lucky! Have you looked up kidnapping and murder cases in the area? Maybe he was a serial killer/pedo and he has other victims.

[@minallouhmi781]

@disneytoysr4fun975 I found out years later that it was actually a gang that basicly would kidnap children for wuhdu and I got a certain mark that was quite known for this gang to be a target for these things, apparently my mom was warned that in that country "someone like me" will be a target but she didn't believe in all that and thought it was nothing till years later I motioned it

[@Liliarthan]

@@minallouhmi781wow. That’s terrifying! I also grew up in a country where kids regularly got kidnapped for sex trafficking. Some also get severely disfigured and forced to beg on the street at popular tourist destinations, far away from their home, so the kidnappers can profit from people’s sympathy for the child. Growing up, I was never allowed to go to a friend’s house alone, walk down the street alone, play at a park by myself. My mother watched me like a hawk. Not until I was much older and learned about SA, then became a parent myself, did I realise the severity of the fear and anxiety my mother would have had about keeping me safe there. Thankfully I live in another country now where it’s not such a big problem. Now we worry about kids getting SA’ed by adults known and trusted by the family. This world is so f’ed up.

[@zachf748]

What a remarkable young lady. The strength, savvy, and intelligence, for a nine year old little girl in that nightmare situation, is crazy. She (at nine years olds) was stronger and braver than a lot of adults.

[@canisamator7937]

Wow! I'm speechless & in tears after watching this. Jeanette not only saved her own life, she brought down a sick POS kidnapper. That she turned her trauma into a career in law enforcement is like turning the most horrible experience into something really positive. This world needs more people like her!

[@turtlefeesh]

Why don't you be like her

[@nhntnj]

@@turtlefeeshmany things go into that, like finances, home situation, it’s not that simple

[@danig342]

I’m so happy the whole family survived. I can’t get over how resourceful and brilliant this nine year old child was navigating a situation this terrifying.

[@beautyns12]

The mom being forced into the ambulance, broke my heart. 💔 As a mother, I can't imagine wanting to get to your child and save them and having to stop because of injuries on yourself.

[@derp.2474]

i’m 16 minutes away from silicon valley and i’m so relieved to hear that such a strong, powerful, and brave officer is nearby. Jeanette REALLY is a hero 💗💗

[@sommermeade3329]

Many people in my life wonder why I’m obsessed with True Crime. This is the epitome of any answer I could give them. The story breaks your heart. You feel all the feels. Then the bad person gets caught and you can breathe again. It doesn’t end there. Just like Jeanett said… her and her brother shared a connection to the CSI drama. Watching the terrifying stuff saved her and caught her assailant. I really feel a great percentage of True Crime followers watch for this exact reason. We are disgusted by the injustice and we can rejoice when justice is served back…I’m sending big energy out to Jeanette, who was the absolute hero in this ordeal. Also to her mother and brother who were wiling to sacrifice themselves to get their baby girl back. It’s inspiring. Good people do everything they can to save their people. This was so sad but so beautiful and amazing. We are not all that strong. Bless this family.

[@myguitarwantstokillyourmama]

Very well said 🫶

[@wisehead1830]

The presence of mind Jeanette had at 9 years old is astounding. She really is a fighter.

[@namelessnavnls8060]

Gosh. Hearing her in the interview eventually saying "I'm a fighter, I'm gonna make it" gives me chills. She was right. What a legend. I'm so glad she made it out alive.

[@m1n1.m4gg1t]

I have two younger siblings and I applaud Paul. What an amazing brother. He tried his best to help his sister and risked his own life doing that and that’s freaking amazing. I’d do the same thing for either of my siblings in a heartbeat. Nobody allowed to mess with them without getting a fist to the face. I’m insanely glad this girl was alright. She is so strong.

[@victoriuuuhhh7774]

My heart- when she said she was preparing for her death, Jesus. I'm so happy she was so clever to get that evidence and solve her own case ❤️

[@Meriemomar93]

Her story is 100% similar to the one of lisa mcvey. Im just blown away. They both tried their best to memorize every details about their surroundings, tried to gain the trust of their kidnappers, were set free at the end and so much more

[@angeeeeel5828]

This is what i'm thinking !! & Lisa became a cop too!!

[@lexmb7]

And Kara Robinson

[@maryneilson3544]

And Shasta Goene

[@Liliarthan]

and Jennifer Schuett

[@kimfoster6755]

Amazing. The end had me in tears. Happy ones. It's not often a story like this ends well. Her outlook on her situation is admirable. The way she thanked the officer that helped catch her attaker was so touching. What an amazing telling of her story!! 👏

[@Bluebird-77]

I was saying to myself that she should be a detective and then the video stated that that's her goal. I think she would be a phenomenal detective. So proud of her. She stayed alive, got away, brought the perpetrator down and then conquered her fears to begin to live again. Im so impressed.

[@mommad9863]

It gave me goosebumps knowing that she was smart enough to save evidence. I absolutely hate what she had to go through, but in my eyes she won. She defeated the loser.

[@mirandastone33]

this happened in my childhood neighborhood, me and my siblings were all around the same age as jeannette, this was the biggest story at the time and i remember everyone being so scared. i cant believe how incredibly brave she had to be through that horrific trauma and how brilliantly she saved herself.

[@healingandgrowth-infp4677]

I’ve had been attempted kidnapped more than three times once from my home another park n school they had me under arm carrying me off before I was saved by a teacher after such a very long time stalling the stranger. Stupid teacher blamed me for talking to him. If I didn’t stall him he woulda taken me sooner n the teacher wouldn’t be there to rescue me.

[@sutherngirrl7590]

The system better keep this guy locked up FOREVER because if they let him go, he will kill his next victim!! California doesn't have the best track record. I pray they never let her down. She's a brave young lady...

[@The_Goat_24YT]

I’m pretty somebody in prison will kill him they don’t take lightly to pedophiles and rapists

[@Jess-vk6mp]

Her story is incredible. She’s so insanely smart for thinking of all the things she did for how young she was when she was abducted. I don’t think most adults would have that kind of composure or smarts to do all that in such a traumatic and stressful situation like that.

[@marciayoung1094]

Amazing I'm almost speechless a 9 year old who refused to give up, now a police officer and will on her way to helping young girls and boys recover with her compassion, love and her story.. she is truly a Hero, . I can't imagine what Mom and brother went through their self's thinking they couldn't save her.. God Bless this whole family...

[@thereseclairecreates]

While I'm relieved and proud of Jeannette and that her family is alive, I am still so devastated and angry at the lifetime of trauma she and her family have to carry. What a nightmare. It was so uncomfortable listening to this story as it is hits too close to home. Thank you for featuring crimes where victims are able to survive -- not just Jeanneatte herself, but her entire family.

[@healingandgrowth-infp4677]

She isn’t the only victim or family dealing with this trauma

[@lindseyconnor1999]

What an amazingly strong family. I can't imagine the pain Jeanette went through and yet she persevered. And her poor mother and brother fighting as hard as they did for her to still be taken. It had to have been soul crushing. Yet this family made it out the other side and together. A true inspiration.

[@HECTORCIRILO-i4k]

And they say TV rots your brain... IT STRENGTHENS IT

[@imnotreal6275]

I mean depends on what you’re watching

[@monfisch]

This woman, as a child, had more planning and forethought than a 9 year old should bear. What an incredibly smart and fast thinking child. I can only imagine her intellect has grown since then. This gave me chills, what an incredible woman, Jeannette is.

[@craigjohnston303]

The bravery in this woman's entire family is AMAZING! To think her older brother rushed in to fight an unknown grown man to save his sister is awesome! And her mom to take a frying pan to the head and still fight is heroic! This whole story shows how great bravery can be!

[@xXSakuraTearsXx]

Wow-- Heather becoming the first woman Chief of Police in the history of The San Jose Police Department & now, Jeannette training hard at The San Diego Police Academy, following in her footsteps. Jeannette: what an amazing journey & story from 9 'til now-- I hope & pray her life only continues going up from here & that she feels so, so, proud of herself each & every day; what an amazingly strong & brilliant child, woman, & continual warrior! She became her own hero, not just one to herself, but one to every person who has & ever will ever hear her speak. Brava, ladies!

[@MichelleKgoadi-fc4pr]

I'm so sorry you went through this, and I'm happy that even at that young age you were able to protect yourself and get justice. Parents deny their children the opportunity to watch such shows when in turn they are not bad, they actually exist to show us how evil people are out there and how to protect ourselves if we find ourselves in such situations. That man must rot in jail for the pain he caused you and your family. In my eyes you are a hero to your story and us women.
