Raped at 8 and left for dead, a victim raises her voice - CNN.com

This story is about a child;at 8 years old, was taken from her bedroom by a stranger and was kidnapped, raped outside her gradeschool and throat was slashed ear to ear to die. She lived for 20 years and now wants to come forth to let everybody know that she is a survivor and that she wants the assailant to know they will catch her. There is a team that is allowing old cases such as this one to be retested as far as DNA testing and being brung to justice. I think this is absolutely one of the most phenomonal stories I have read online. I don't like watching the news as the stories are so depressing. This one just blows everything out of the water.

I read this story and my heart went out to her reading about her rape and being left to die, not just as a parent but a fellow survivor. Life is crazy sometimes with the mixed blessings in everyday life, as I have stated before. This is just to me one of those mixed blessings. We are all innocent in life and when traumas happen to us it always changes us for better or worse. She suffered an ordeal I would never think that a child should have to go thru let alone have to deal with in pain and suffering day to day. She pulled thru with strenths that shape up in life and form us to either be strong or weak and break to a number of other ordeals we can or can't live with and supercede into drugs or other abuses. She decided to take life by the horns and pretty much to me by reading grew up before her time should have been pushed to. But in the end, She wasnts to put her closure to rest more than likely to live a normal life and be herself and start anew.

I commend her feelings and I support her brave story telling as it takes a strong person in admiration of life to present their pain and suffering to capture and bring to justice this loose end evil. God has a purpose for all of us and I believe if we look below surface deep we all look alike except the evil that lurks around the corner for the next violent act but rest assured, they will catch you and put you away eventually. No matter what the cost and or what the pain we are all strong inside its what brings it about!
