Kidnapping

Recently a girl was found. She had been kidnapped in at the age of 11 in 1991. At the age of 14, after being raped who knows how many times, she had a child. Four years later, sometime around the age of 18, she had another child. It is unclear, but it an earlier draft article made mention that she had and the two children hadn't been allowed access to any medical care. She would have been 14 years old when she bore the first child, and I cannot help but wonder if she received any medical attention during her pregnancy or while in childbirth either time. But when she was a 14 year old having a baby, didn't anyone wonder about what was going on?

At this moment, the article for the story is "Kidnapping Victim Was Not Always Locked Away." Implicit in this title is victim blaming. Despite being abducted from home at the age of 11 told who knows what about your parents, told who knows what about what's going on and why it's going, while being brutally assaulted (they haven't actually described the details of the sexual assaults, but any time any one under at least 15 is forced to have sex it cannot be anything other than a brutal act. Eleven, Twelve, Thirteen, 14 and 15 year olds are so young, their bodies are not developed. Until your body is destroyed in so many ways that has to be the most terrible and painful experience.

But the article is already victim blaming. Trying to give us some assurance that if it had been us, or our chilrden we wouldn't have let this terrible thing happen to us. Forget that she was only 11 or that she was pregnant and having children around the time she might have begin growing into a more adult body and maybe beginning to develop a rebellious streak. Now imagine probably barely remembering the world, having no idea what reality is. Not understanding why you haven't been rescued at this point, probably believing it's what you deserve, probably trying to figure out how to make the best of your situation.

There are some astonishingly horrible people out there. This man was one of them. In addition, to holding this woman captive as his sex slave, and who knows what else, he is apparently suspected in several murders.

another one of the freaky things about this, is he had a female accomplice. Maybe it's because I'm numb to idea of men being brutal that this question comes out, but I just don't understand how any woman could be involved in all this. I mean, your "husband" is sleeping with children and is impregnating (through rape) a young girl. In what kind of world is there anything okay with assisting in this?
