It really bothers me that people actually think that a kidnapping isn’t a kidnapping when it’s the parent.

RIP Riya.

Two kids from my hometown were taken by their father in the middle of a nasty divorce and killed them both, just to hurt the mother.

@@ShyAnn291 things like this are actually almost always done by family or family friends. Any harm you could commit to a child is most accessible by the people they're *allowed* to be alone with, so that's where it happens the most. It's such a sad perversion of trust :( It's why I never accept the excuse that 'but he's their dad' or 'I've known x all my life, they can take care of my kid.' 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. Sure, x might not intentionally hurt them, but what if the kid waddles out the door while that person is catatonically high on the couch or something? People are far too blasé about our most helpless because they don't want to unintentionally insult anyone

[@pellaxestorba4836]

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.

The guy that took Kara killed my two friends in Fredericksburg, VA before her. They were sisters. Kristin and Katie Lisk. He killed a total of 3 girls in my hometown.

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.

@@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.

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.

You have got yourself safe… it’s time to allow yourself to let go of those defenses.” Didn’t “cure” me completely.

natalia’s story really resonates with me, having had a similar experience with my mother. it’s hard to talk about because of the response people give and how they downplay it, but her coming out and sharing this experience is really helpful for me and likely a lot of people with similar experiences. she makes a good point in saying forgiveness is for yourself, and i hope to get to the point where i can forgive my mother. also wanted to mention, kara is a baddie. remembering that many details while experiencing something like that is really impressive, she should be very proud of herself. im glad both of them came out of these experiences safely and are sharing their stories. very powerful women!

[@nbdjz1058]

i'm a sexual assault survivor and i relate to karas coping mechanism of shutting off so hard. that's exactly what i did for years and breaking out of it requires a lot of strength. kara is incredibly strong and it's really impressive what she did

I remember when Natalia first told her story, and I remember everything that happened in 2017 and I am so beyond proud of her. She’s done such a great job 🖤

[@3eyedwonderkid]

I remember watching a video learning about Kara just a couple months ago, I was absolutly in awe at her ability to memorize important information in order to find her captor. She is truly amazing.

[@k.b.8941]

I can't tell you how much I needed to hear this. I got kidnapped by my ex and I don't really talk about it since escaping on my own. My attacker at uni attempted suic*de when I came forward to our college about what was going on and the rage i felt was immeasurable as I was punished for coming forward and he received no repercussions as a result. I've never seen someone else talk about that anger, I often feel so guilty about it. Thank you.

[@Arilou14714]

Karas story was so impactful especially with the movie that was made about it. "The Girl Who Escaped"

When the one girl said she was sexually assaulted I just kinda broke because I’ve experienced that. And they are both doing so great. It’s actually amazing how well they are doing. Good job, I don’t know you guys but I’m so proud❤️

[@aspen-br9xb]

Once Kara said she memorized the serial number on the container I was like, "That's so smart!" and then she just kept going on the things she memorized and the little things she said and did to get that opportunity to memorize something, absolutely amazing. He really picked up the wrong girl.

[@BladeOfPurpleAura]

Kara is an absolute rockstar. She’s so intelligent and resilient she honestly feels like a real life Sherlock. She saved not only herself but a man like that would no doubt go after others so she saved other girls as well. And helping other SA survivors as well bravo

[@killerqueen6733]

just listening to these legit make me feel nauses, these girls and anyone who has ever gone through something similar are literally so strong

[@KrazyWolf1149]

I never thought a parent kidnapping story would be covered but Natalia’s insight about the mental state of her father really got me thinking about mine. I was four so I don’t remember much but from the things my mom mentions he was fighting some strong demons. Also from what she tells me I know that I never want to meet the master manipulator that is my father but damn am i curious to know how he thinks. Thankfully he is still in jail and will be for another 6 years, but he knows where i live with my mom currently and im worried about the future… 🤞🏻fingers crossed guys 💀

I have already watched both of these women’s stories in great detail but there is nothing that compares to watching them again but with the best interviewer talking to them although these stories break my heart it makes me feel a bit more warm knowing they are in Anthony’s presence so they will feel at least a bit comfortable

I am obsessed with Kara's story. Normally anybody even an adult would freak out and give up. Kara just kept her cool knowing that she wasn't going to let him affect her. Absolute hero 👌👍

[@tarynbroderick99]

It would be cool to see an episode of people who have been through sexual assault at a young age, forgot it, then through time remembered it again. I was as a child, and my brain blocked it all out till I got to age 23 where I started to remember again, and used therapy to help.
