"Is he going to kill us?"
On the early morning of December 4th, 1997, 10 year old Amber Daniels is standing in the middle of a dirt road, barefoot, in her pyjamas, faced with an impossible choice: run away on her own from the man who kidnapped her, or stay with him to try and save her sisters. What happened to her family the previous night, now known as the Santa Claus killings, would only be solved because of Amber’s courage, and she would make sure her kidnapper will pay for what he took from her.

It's actually incredibly critical that he tells her it's okay if she doesn't pick a photo. One problem with photo lineups is that people can feel a need to pick something, which can lead to a false identification. One technique I've heard is that they show the photos one at a time but without letting the victim see how many there are.

Why can't she be angry? Victims can be angry at the abuser and still love their family. Two things can be true. I hate it that people try to force forgiveness on victims of child abuse. Haven't we been forced enough already?? Also, sometimes the past affects you even if you decide not to let it define you. Stop demanding that victims heal themselves on everyone else's schedule. It's blaming them if they aren't able to 'hurry up and be fine again.' It can take a lifetime, and you can pass through stages of grief more than once.

You can be angry and be screaming upset. But, you cannot let it be your life. Like all emotions you have to accept your feelings and then deal with them and learn to move on. She cannot live her life and be only defined by what happened to her. The anger will fester and destroy the good in her. And be unable to enjoy the beauty in life She cannot let the anger affect the beautiful child she has. Be unable to enjoy him and be a great mom if she is crippled by anger. Be angry and rage. But, then learn to move on and live.

I agree. I think they should be allowed to give the person an incentive to go early. For instance, if they agree to donate their organs they give them a chunk of money… half for their family members half for victims. Then they get to die on the operating table which is completely painless for them. They also get to make their death have meaning and benefit others.

One single slip up and your beloved sisters are dead. As a child. Let that sink in. A 10 year old girl, coming to terms with the fact that something horrible is probably about to happen to her ASWELL AS her siblings. And she has one chance, one goal. To survive.

My own sister is one of the biggest abusers in my life.

I may not understand Amber's dedication to making sure her sisters stayed safe, but I sure as hell respect it. She was strong as hell as a child and she's strong as hell as an adult retelling this story. What an incredible woman.

The death penalty should be 5 years after the incident not 20+ years and making the victim having to wait knowing that person is still alive

I never understand how victims can forgive their attackers. I know its part of their healing but it must take a strong soul to actually forgive them and commend the survivors in these stories for their bravery and strength. I've been victim of domestic abuse (emotional and physical). I don't forgive her, but I've let go of the hate. And how far I've come since then and how strong I've become and she's still in the same situation as 20+ years ago. I pity her but don't forgive her!

I'm really happy that Amber has been able to manage what happened to her and not let it control her life... However... There were 4 other children in this story that survived... What happened to them? Are they ok? Everyone handles grief and trauma differently. I hope they are all doing equally as well. And is Amber still best friends with JoAnn?

Just looking at Amber in the beginning of the video, brought tears to my eyes. Things she has to go through and the love for her sisters and what she did to save her sisters, it really tourns my heart. I think Jerry was born a pedophile and after two years, he exactly knew where to go and can easily get inside and kidnapped without any hesitation, it doesn't looks like it's Jerry first time. He must have done before. I'm just imagining Amber's state of mind inside Jerry's vehicle. Jerry was threatening Amber using her sister's. She knew if she doesn't do what Jerry says, he was going to harm her sisters. Amber's could have left her sister's and save herself but she didn't. She was a brave girl, even after what she has gone through, she can still thinks straight....I think others won't be able to do what Amber's did after what she has gone through.

Bastard ! Im a 20 years sober alcoholic. Not only sober, but gone through lots of stuff to make amends and contribute to other’s lives. I lnow what’s involved. And for these people to get through that and be giving and given the second chance and all those children -and those kids all depending on them - then THIS . Takes me aback. I’ve started thinking about naïveté, and trusting too much maybe in their drive to now be helpful to people ? I don’t know, maybe not. Maybe it’s just life. Oh God. Help us all
