KARA is a G for real. She didn't get strong "because" of this, she was already a fucking badass.

The fact that people tell Natalia that her kidnapping “wasn’t real” because it was her dad, is absolute bs! 9/10 times the kidnapper is a family member or friend of the family. There are SO many cases where kids get kidnapped by a parent, and it does not make it any less traumatic.

Natalia ability to understand her biological fathers condition and forgive him is incredible. They are both such strong women.

As an abuse survivor myself, I have NOTHING but respect for both these strong women!

When Kara said she wanted to sit across from her captor in the courtroom and for him to know "choosing me was the biggest mistake he ever made"... chills! That was so powerful!

Mad respect to Kara for remembering so many miniscule details about her kidnapper. The hairbrush and the doctor/dentist info was incredible. Certified BAMF

The fact that she wasn’t freaking out and she could memorize all that stuff, wow! Just WOW! I couldn’t have ever thought to do that.

Wow listening to Kara tell her story and how intelligent she was, how she was memorizing important details even at such a young age is SO incredible. So glad she escaped

Nothing that infuriates more then missing teens or children being labelled as a "runaway". There should always be an Amber alert for all missing children and teens . Kara, your a absolute legend .

I'm in awe of both of them. Two incredibly strong, insightful women who have risen from horrible trauma and come out so incredible.

Kara is really amazing, she stayed calm under pressure, analysed the situation perfectly knew the danger she was in and escaped safely. She is brave and intelligent. Impressive.

My mom accidentally stopped a kidnapping. (Putting this into her pov) It was December 13th, 1987. Me and my friend Grace were going door to door in a nearby neighborhood, handing out Christmas mass panflets from our school. We heard a little boy yelling across the road, and we walked back onto the sidewalk to see what was happening. A man was trying to lift this eight year old boy from his front yard, and a large car/van was parked about 40 feet away. Me and my friend yelled at him, and I held my phone in the air, making sure that it was visible to him. Sure enough, he ran away and the boy ran back inside his home. I never went to that neighborhood again.

“I wanted him to know that choosing me was the biggest mistake he ever made and he was outsmarted by a 15 yo girl” What an amazing person, wow. She really was incredibly smart.

At 15 years old Kara is one of the most incredibly intelligent teens ive ever heard of. In that situation she kept herself calm cool and collected. She saved her OWN life. Absolutely an incredible story.

Both of these women are incredibly strong and amazing. I can't imagine how terrifying this was for anyone who has gone through something like this.

The story Natalia told was very impactful to me due to being in a similar situation with my father when I was a kid - he had weekend custody and didn’t take me home, instead we went on a wild goose chase that lasted three days where we stayed at several different motels while he was in the throes of a schizophrenic delusion. It’s harrowing, but it’s nice to hear a story akin to mine that I can relate to. I hope i can recover like she did.

Shout out to the little girl in my town who fended off a kidnapper and rubbed the slime she'd been playing with all over his arm because she learned from Olivia Benson to mark attackers if you can so they can be found later. That's exactly what happened, the slime helped nail her kidnapper later when they tracked his car down.

For the people who say “18 hours isnt that long” ITS WITH A SERIAL KILLER. Dang I’m famous

These women, the young girls that they were, never should’ve been forced to be so strong and grow up so fast but they did an incredible job! So proud of them for sharing their stories. I’m finally at the point that I’ve started to consider sharing my own story beyond just my family, therapists, and friends. Kidnapping and assault are way more common than people realize. In 2013 when I was 21 I was drugged at a bar, abducted right in front of a bar full of people, taken to a secondary location and sexually assaulted/beaten for 4 hours before being dumped back by the bar. I wasn’t rescued. I didn’t mastermind my own escape. No one even knew I was missing. I just got so incredibly lucky that this random man didn’t kill me. I had such severe PTSD for years that it caused seizures. It wasn’t until 2019 that I could be alone again. And then CBT helped my PTSD and made the seizures stop. This kind of trauma is indescribable and I can’t imagine having to heal in the public eye like so many of these survivors are forced to do.
