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

[@ashers.hangout]

“She doesn’t act like a victim!” Immediately I know you’ve NEVER been in any kind of crazy dangerous situation. There is no one way to “behave like a victim” and everyone deals with their trauma differently. Those people are not only disgusting for turning against her and refusing to believe her, but they’re also very very stupid.

[@heatherjackson2520]

People judging her like that is just another form of not being able to control their emotions and just shows that they wouldn't have made it out of that situation alive. They wouldn't have been able to control their emotions and their level of fear to manipulate themselves out of that situation

[@mommy2libras]

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.

[@OscarLangleySoryu]

@@mommy2libras word sister! I mean damn, in my youth I used to watch her and Glen Beck in the work break room on my lunch, and I was a fan of Beck back then (somehow? I can’t figure out how now but anyways lol) and even then I could tell she was completely f-d up. I couldn’t agree with you more!

[@macabrejae1814]

​@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.

[@wadewilson8011]

The problem is everybody wants to be an expert and wants the glory but they don't know how to. Crazy part is they have absolutely no clue what it takes to actually read a person correctly by their mannerisms & behavior. People speculate without knowing how to put pieces together. Trust me I have watched crime documentaries all the time and I listen to friends of mine come up with the wrong conclusions every single time and they look at me like I'm crazy when I get it right. And then they asked me how did you know that and I said all you have to do is pay attention. One plus one will always equal two.

[@heatherjackson2520]

I agree with you however I believe it's even more in-depth than that with her. The way she kept her emotions in check and her Panic at Bay for 9 months that 99 plus percent of people wouldn't be able to do and wouldn't have made it out alive means that she also can control her emotions in all aspects of her life. Like when talking to the media about her experience. People don't understand that because people can't control their emotions and can't keep themselves from panicking.

Victime blaming is a major problem for victims of crimes in the states. Especially if you are a woman and the crime is sexual in nature.

[@ElysetheEevee]

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. You'd think with how "elevated" the US is, we'd be doing better about that. Nope. 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.

[@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.

Yeah that's why he doesn't need to put these horrible annoying stock videos. For exemple when he mention her coming back from school, we don't need to see an unrelated stock videos of a freaking school bus. Stock footage is the cancer of true crime videos...

[@terryford7459]

I am so addicted to this channel y'all, like ... Fa real!!! ☺️❤☺️

[@mickefy]

Not wanting to say “Amen” just completely destroyed me. 😭

[@DeathChild7]

Thats amazing she can forgive after all she went through, you are amazing Abby

[@marciabrown173]

What a blessing it is to have family and friends who knew Abby and know that she wasn’t capable of running away. Thank you for just believing in her ❤

[@PickleAllergy]

This young lady has more courage and heart than all of those horrible "adults" and gossipy teenagers combined.

[@jamiewilson9262]

Incredible story, young woman & Mom! I pray for all the goodness of life for her. ❤

[@ariiskipa]

I hope every person that ever doubted her is never able to sleep again at night remembering the torture that girl went through. It’s infuriating they’ll never have any consequences for the conspiracies and hatred they spread. Her incredible victim impact statement proves exactly who she is. This girl at 14 was 10x the adult any of them were.

[@brandybyrd6293]

When she walked in her house calling for her mother after being missing for nine months. Can you imagine what her mother was feeling at that moment? To have her abducted daughter in her arms again must have felt so good. An overwhelming relief that she was safe and alive. So many people wrongly judged this young girl and every one of them should be ashamed of themselves. Only God can judge you. He should be the only one to judge you. But yet every person on this planet judges people for things they shouldn't be judging anyone about. When something like this happens to a young girl giving forgiveness to her captor just shows how strong and beautiful she is. I hope she is doing well in life. No doubt this situation has changed her forever.

This was no one’s business “ we just want some answers”, like Abbie owes you a dam thing? Abbie was dealing with this as best as she could. Amazing strength for a minor.. her smarts kept her alive ands the love of her family brought her home. So happy this case has somewhat of a happy ending!!

[@katelynbrown98]

I forgot about this story. This is a very good example of a modern-day missing person case. It's gross how people always blame the victim. How smart do they think teens are?

[@lostcents]

Smart enough in 2013 not to get into a strangers car.

[@gummybear-wx1vr]

Wow 😢 super deep on so many levels 🥺 thank you for sharing. What an amazing young lady ❤

[@RullXov]

That sentence is weak because he only needs to do 2/3 of 45 years before he's eligible for parole. He should have gotten life with no parole possible. The inept prosecutors suck.

[@siobhanwilson7237]

That's when he will be eligible for parole don't mean he will get it. Courts might make him do the full sentence

[@jessicataylor215]

Finally!! I love this channel and always waiting & looking forward to new videos! One of my favorite channels!

[@Dtigger]

The story telling is amazing. I find myself watching episodes I am already familiar with and really glad that I did.

[@sarafrikinbeara]

Immediate tears flowed as she read her victim statement. Wow. Abby, you are a true hero.

[@PrincessNicEssus]

What an incredible story. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

[@biblemademedoit]

Amazing impact statement. This story also goes to show more needs to be done to protect children in the custody of the state, he learned some of his behaviors from what others did to him while in detention.

[@kendrawaddams3174]

'That's not how a victim behaves!' AND 'Why don't they come forward, quicker?'

[@kandycepeterson2482]

The end is great. Really really well said. ❤.

[@crystalsmith7939]

How anyone can say a CHILD doesn’t act like a victim, is mind blowing.. the amount of pain she endured, she was numb and became shut down due to the trauma and mindset of survival for so long!

[@roseliagonzalez9709]

She is amazing! The way she handled herself throughout all of it should be taught to others in a worse case scenario. It might just save your life.

[@savagebyotch8791]

What a Beautiful and Smart young girl... She saved her own self, just by treating her abductor like a human. What an ordeal to go through... Praying for you, Abby, to overcome all the fear that was instilled in you and for you to have nothing less than a Wonderful life from here forward! 😘🙏🏽 Kudos to you for your bravery through it all! ❤

[@countessnic9809]

My God this girl is tough as nails. Bless you, mija. I'm praying for you and your safety, always. 🕊️❤️‍🩹

[@HopeW-qg2cy]

Every single person who publicly voiced their doubt of her kidnapping, who called her a liar, a problem teen, etc… should be given a choice. Public apology directly to Abby or pay her a fine for slander.

[@freshbreeze6955]

Did Nancy Grace ever make a public apology for her biased assumption of Abby?

[@CatMom-uw9jl]

I doubt it. She’s always been a garbage person.

[@landofgrundo]

That introduction was amazing, well done

[@UncoveringtheTruth_911]

This video is so moving and incredible. Abby’s resilience is unbelievable, and the way she found strength in such horrific circumstances is a testament to the human spirit. It makes me wonder, can people who are kidnapped actually “surrender” or “make peace” with their captors like this? Should this be called a survival tactic, or is it a form of betrayal?

[@heatherjackson2520]

No most people can't act the way that she did getting out of her horrible situation simply for the fact that the vast majority of people cannot control their emotions or their level of fear / panic

[@jay_rubyx]

Abby is amazing. To say “I appreciate my freedom BECAUSE of you” really hit deep. What an incredible woman. I wish her nothing but the absolute best in life.

[@KM-vt4xy]

Thank god the investigator was such a smart lady and didnt do what many cops would have done.

[@David-028]

Never heard of this case, but those people who were quick to judge without much details really need to change their mindset

[@randiken]

I have no words to express the pain & heartache I feel for this young lady but also the sheer admiration for her resilience & strength. I am so sorry for the horrible way the public treated her, and that was after facing unrelenting torture by this psychopath. God bless her and her family. Abby is a hero. ❤
