As I went into my daily routine after class at the local college and went to work, I sat down to eat lunch. I heard on the news that there was a 11 year old girl, abducted in Utah and was held captive there for 18 years. Finally, found and returned home, how could a community let this go on for 18 years in their own area? Was everybody asleep? My first initial reaction was pure disgust that someone could let this get go on for so long and not get caught when he was a repeat offender? I was disgusted and lost my appetite to finish eating. To take a innocent little girl and rape her over and over and have to kids with her is no human when I saw their pictures him and his wife, I saw two empty soulless shells, that walk around having nothing better to do on this earth but to co-exist and bring harm to innocent beings and all for self-fulfillment, I was exasperated in the whole situation, I'm a mommy of two fantastic kids one boy and one 10 year old girl, life is not the same if they were not to be here, to think that anyone would ever touch them, I think I would end up in jail for the things I would do to anybody who were to harm a part of me. I think religion factored in here someone, somewhere was truly watching over them completely, and I mean them as she had two girls. He did spare her life and not with out raping her and i'm sure mentally brainwashing her and mentally abusing her that she could never trust again. Now she has two kids how will she factor them in here with the love god gave her and the strength she would need to get thru this can it be they are a blessing from god, or a detriment not taken to lightely without regard as to how they were brung into this world. God I hope you are watching over all them as they need it to piece there livces back together after almost two decades...
I totally agree with you on this. I read a news story on this and I was disgusted as well. I could not imagine my little girl missing for even a couple hours let along 18 years. I know where my kids are at all times and if they don't tell me they get grounded. With an 8 and 9 year that is torture, to not be able to go outside for a couple days. I am still learning the whole blog concept and I was thinking of blogging about that story but I am glad that someone did.

ReplyDeleteMy heart broke for this girl and her children also. What a cruel way to live. It seeems so unbelieveable that not one person would notice that something was terribly wrong with what was going on in that neighborhood, or maybe it was no one wanted to be nosey. But, you know, anyone can make an anonymous phone call and report suspicious behavior. The only thing is, unfortunately, the authorities don't always take calls like that seriously. Maybe since things like this are happening, the police and authorities will take reports more serious...we can only hope.
