I was worried this story wasn't going to have a good ending but praise God she's been found safe and unharmed.

Thanks be to the Lord for this sweet little girl being found!

[@cw9938]

Thanks to God. She is one lucky little girl. It is rare that this girl was found safe. My nephew was kidnapped and was returned the next day. Unharmed. I believe that the person who took him was testing the waters and changed his mind to whatever plans he had to harm my nephew. It's very sad that families go through this nightmare. Blessings to the family and authorities who helped in this nightmare.

Hope and healing for this beautiful little girl and her family and community. ❤

Thanking God for hr safe return! Shout out to all law enforcement’s , FBI , etc… who worked so hard to bring her back. Thanks to all the prayers that went up for her. Praying she can live a happy safe life from this moment forward. I’m sure her parents are overjoyed at her return. May she get good counseling for what she experienced. 🙏

Men aren’t aloud to keep men in check. They aren’t even aloud to keep themselves in check. They are either called racist, toxic, or whatever new name created to prevent them from making boys into men. How about we hold lawmakers and judges accountable for letting the slime-balls of human waste back out on the streets time and again while innocent people are maimed and killed?

Wow my heart literally felt warmer to see this news. To say she was found safe and unharmed does that mean mean she wasn't victimized at all because I'd hope she didn't experience physical trauma then have to hear she was found "unharmed" bless her sweet heart and I can't wait to hear her tell of her bravery getting out of such an awful scenario. If I was her mama I'd never let her out of my sight again

[@deltatango6793]

Just thinking about a comment made in this piece… When kids go missing, after 24 hours, I know we often hear really bad news, but… the comment, “especially a young girl”, implying that we wouldn’t normally hear a happy outcome when a young girl goes missing, BUT… I recall over a dozen stories of girls who were able to mentally manipulate their abductors and stay alive long enough to be found or to eventually escape and be reunited with their families… I can’t think of a single story of a young boy doing that same thing. But please, anyone, correct me if I’m wrong. Do we have any stats on this? Just an interesting thought… not trying to start an argument… I just think it’s probably a surprising reality.

[@lettus143]

The comment was made because 2/3rds of all child abductees are female, 80% of all perpetrators are male, and they're captured for one painfully obvious reason and usually discarded of shortly after. The small percent of girls who are able to avoid becoming landfill due to their ability to pretend they're happy to be with their captor is really just a speck in a giant pile, it's not really fair to make this a gender thing. For every story you can show of a child convincing their pedophilic captor that they love them I can show you hundreds of stories of children who were used and tossed like trash afterwards.

[@Memow-pk1ng]

It's true, if not found in 48 hrs, usually end badly . If hadn't found this soon, most likely been different ending, I m sure this convicted sex offender wasn't going to let her go free, to ID him

[@jessiestoss2687]

Sadly, girls are warned and lectured pretty much their entire life about stranger danger, because the risks are too high for them, and predatory behavior. Boys should be taught just the same. It's terrible that we have so many disgusting, predatory men in our society who lurk around looking for the opportunity to abduct and harm little girls mostly, but boys are victims of this kind of thing too. It's just so much more likely to happen to girls.
