Never tell your partner you are calling off the wedding or leaving until you remove yourself from the situation and are safe in another place and not returning, especially an abuse partner that is changeable like the weather!
My children, to sons, 2 years & 8 years old respectively were kidnapped by their father in 1995 from Namibia. I only managed to see my 2 year old once again when he was 4 years old for a period of a week. Thereafter, only again when he was 15 years old. My eldest 12 at the time was sent back to me with a statement that he (the father) no longer wanted him as he was a problem child. I had no resources at the time. He, the father falsified there names & obtained all documents illegally to enter Germany claiming we were divorced. I missed so much of their lives. I am still traumatised to this day.
NEVER go to man in the beginning stages, country, town or two houses away. Man has to come to you, show interest in you, care about you being on safe ground, period.
Therezumee My parents, especially my father (born 1910 ) told me only once: A man has always to find his way to a woman he claims to love, always, no exception, no matter how far....Since I`m an older person I can only state he was right and so are you.
You are so true… I don’t understand how now and days these women get flown out to different places to meet a man they barely know and some get killed too and never make it back home. They say flown out is a new trend but I want follow that trend….
I am Mexican, and I am sorry this happened to you. I am a single mom of 5, and can’t imagine the pain you went through. I celebrate your family being complete now, and safe and sound in England. (I adore England, by the way!)
That is bad enough but then, without knowing them yet, you add a baby to the mix, it is my opinion that almost 100% of crimes begin with bad decisions.
I would of done a DNA test to make sure it was my baby that I got back. He is an evil man capable of anything. My heart goes out to her and her baby. 😢
i actually thought that too but Daniel had someone (Sebastian) that was going tolove him and look up to him, a narcissist dream so I don't think the baby wasever in danger.
Understand. After my son was born, we were kidnapped by my abuser. I was locked in basement being tortured & drugged for 18 months. I escaped with nothing to an abuse center in the middle of the night. The doctors said they’d never seen anyone(me) so close to death & survive. We were granted an IFP & Victim Protection Program. My son has delays from abuse & neglect. I struggle with permanent physical damage, trauma, scared of everyone but know how to put on a good front when necessary. I don’t have a family, just good friends & church community.
@@FLBeautyQueenoh my I am so happy you were able to get out and escape. I am so sorry this made me crying reading this! I would love to be your friend. I haven’t been thru what you have but I am a nurse I have been hurt by my entire family after adopting a baby of a different color. I am married we love love love our miracle little girl who is 7 now. I had to make my family from my friends but let me tell you I have some great friends who love my child so so so much. So I don’t know what to even say to help because I sure can’t say I been in ur shoes but I am a great listener and nursing in mental health has made me a great listener and friend to all. I appreciate and love my friends who didn’t throw me away like my family had done due to adopting my beautiful newborn baby who I just saw take her first breath. I held her first. I snuggled with my baby first. I cherished being a mother so very much and still do. She is my absolute everything and being brown isn’t a crime. It isn’t a sin to adopt and give a baby who has no chance in life before she was even born by me being able to make sure I protect her from all these people have such hate in their hearts and souls. I miss my family I thought I knew for 35 years when I last could be apart of their lives. It hurt me made me not trust anyone and made me feel like everyone but I hated my new gorgeous daughter I prayed and prayed for.
I'd have the rescued baby dna tested. I wouldn't put it past this guy to have swopped babies with someone/hospital/whatever. She said he loooked nothing like the baby that was kidnapped. As a Mom, I know how much babies' looks can change in a short space of time, but you never know in a situation such as this.
The police usually do them automatically. Usually when the child is rescued they automatically go straight to the hospital for a FULL check over and log of their EXACT condition when found for evidence in potential future trials. Part of that DOES usually include doing full DNA tests of BOTH parents. If they passed away then the police use the next of kin and relatives. And they'll go as far back as they need to. They'll search far and wide if necessary. There's case's from decades ago where children were mistakenly handed back to the wrong parents, usually to the wealthier more stable family. Which sadly means sometimes when they didn't know they tried to opt for the parents who had the most to offer a child hoping they'd get the best life possible to protect them and recover from any trauma. It would hopefully give them an easier start with many more opportunities. They weren't just heartless before DNA testing.
I consider you the perfect example of a Momma Bear!! Im so proud of you. As a grandmother now i would have done the same thing for my child!! Sebastian-love and respect your great mother!! ❤🙏💖
For anyone who doesn't know, his behavior at the start of the relationship, the good treatment, the gifts, the elaborate treatment, is called "love bombing." Its not the usual period that many new couples experience, often called the "honeymoon" period, but its when the man (usually) is way over the top with love, attention, gifts, in an overwhelming way, but he knows its not going to last, because he doesn't actually care for her, he creates the fantasy to later trap her in the relationship. Many men use a child to really lock her down, but other men, who are more narcissistic, will often see the baby as a rival of sorts, & he wants all the woman's attention.
Yes! I’m lucky in that I’m autistic, so getting this much attention is an immediate turnoff for me. A lot of women I know have been taken in by this- it’s not fighting fair, bc your brain will produce way more oxytocin, which is very easy to become habituated/addicted to.

He used the fact that she was an illegal alien to keep Sebastian, what a monster. He almost definitely took another baby to replace Sebastian & gave his mother the child , Her grandson. What a brave dedicated mother Sam is, Bless her.
This mom was sooo lucky by not just her family, but with all the FBI, the police in Mexico , and in the USA. This happens a lot, but mostly not with this happy ending. I watch a movie , base on a true story “not without my daughter” with Sally Field. That mom fight with all her life, in a different country , where she didn’t speak the language, to get her daughter out of the country. I wish all the best to all this moms and dads too, that are suffering without their child❤️❤️🙏🙏
Amazing powerful story of a mother’s love for her child and what her parents and siblings love would do. Sebastian is now able to grow up in this loving devoted family 🥰🙏✝️💙
The psychologists suggestion to be combative and aggressive in tone with a raging narcissist seemed, to me, to be a very dangerous tactic. He could have easily flown into a rage and harmed the baby. I would have imagined a gentler 'ego stroking' tactic would have been safer.
No it is not safer. In my experience dealing with a narcissist. Once you find your power, stand on it! SHOW NO fear, NO weakness, NO eff's given. THAT scares the heck outta a narcissist! They are used to the weak, crying, selfless person. A confident, powerful person will make them RUN!!
Leave, your life will improve 100% even if it is hard at first. I was raised by a true narcissist and I know our life would have been so much better without him. My brother is a severe alcoholic and has been since he was 20. My mother regrets staying with that lunatic and I try to get on but the trauma of living with a person you feel you have to walk on eggshells with takes it toll. Don't carry that toxicity into your next generation of family, they will be grateful for the peace. Stay safe x
Same here and everyone thinks it's so easy to leave but by the time you're in their web, they've usually relieved you of your finances and made you completely horrendously dependant on them. Tale as old as time 😢
After watching the great legnths, Daniel went through to keep sebastian from his mother, and she not recognizing her baby it brings a question if the father replaced baby Sebastian with another baby. Was a DNA test ever done on the child?
Why no one around this man told him that he was wrong ? Like does he not have a mother ? A father ? A family to tell him he cant kidnap his child from the mother ? What is wrong with them all ? Where is their logic and hearts ? Just wow !
Do you think he was telling them "oh, I've always hated this baby and didn't think my wife would give all the attention to the baby when it came. I've also been acting like a narcissistic whackjob and come across like I might get physically abusive at any second. So I snatched this child away from his loving, caring mother who takes great care of him"? That's never the story of the person in the wrong, even when it's completely accurate. I'm sure his story involved the mother being neglectful at the very least, possibly downright abusive to the baby, as well as running around on him with multiple men, maybe even throwing in a substance abuse problem for good measure. Abusers are never in the wrong to themselves, no matter how much they have to outright lie to justify their horrible actions.
I hope they have recovered financially! Sick world we live in when Gypsy Rose is a millionaire yet people like this are unknown. These are what HEROES look like!
Gypsy Rose should still be in prison for killing her mother. Her boyfriend that actually did the killing got life without parole. She should have been sentenced according to what he was sentenced because she was the mastermind.
@@sherrigates463 Amd she did most the jabs!!! A jury would have seen all the evidence which we can now. She stole TWO knives. Nick said he did 4 jabs. Who did the rest? Where is the other knife she stole? So much more too. Nick is still covering for her. That’s why he still says he has to “protect” her.
Harrowing story! Ingenious plot to get baby back. Such a lovely family that all threw themselves behind their family members in need! So proud to be also British!
May God bless your baby and family always. I relate to your story in many ways. If my so called mother was a 1/4 of the woman you are and do even a a 1/4 of what you did to get Sebastian back, my life would've been much, much different. Your family is amazing!! Respect and blessings to you all. Hello dear Sebastian 👋🏻 🕊️ 🙂
This was terrifying just watching and listening to this madness can't imagine what Samantha was going through and that baby. Her brother was the real man in this case and how brave he was.
What an INCREDIBLE story! And good on that family for sticking together - hopefully they experience some financial relief for doing what the government should have!
I had my twins in an area where the baby daddy had a lot of family and land i dodnt know of. When the delivery required me to have an epidural, i was petrified his family would take them while i was immobile. I had my friends keep eye contact on my babies until i could hold them myself. Its scary.
Oh the poor naive girl - and her family. So many people don't know much about human behaviour and get themselves into all sorts of trouble and often dead.
The baby being taken from his mom and her not being present during those first few months of his life will FOREVER effect him and his brain development. The man who took the baby forever damaged that little boy. The things that happen to us as babies shape us forever
But it’s the first 3 years really…he had bonded with his mother before he was kidnapped.. so hopefully he recovered for the most part. The live of a mother trumps EVERYTHING. 🩵🤍
@empfangwien521 Indeed. And since he's wanted for international kidnapping, he's more than likely on the radar of the Yard, Interpol and other law enforcement agencies in the Western world. He's probably scared to death to leave Mexico lindo.
He treated me like a princess. That’s where it all goes wrong. Ah. Rich guy. Treating me like a princess. Did they stop and think. Why?? What’s so special in me ? Nope.
In my young adult life, I watched a movie. “Not without my child” with Sally Fields and it scared me to death. I had the fore thought at that time in my life, I would NEVER PUT MYSELF IN THAT SITUATION!
I remember watching that movie, “Not Without My Daughter,” years ago, and it was terrifying for the mother, played by Sally Fields. Sally Fields’ character marries an Iranian-American doctor in America and they have a daughter. Later, her husband convinces her and their daughter to accompany him to go visit his family in Iran for two weeks. She was reluctant, but relented, and soon after, her fears were realized after they got to Iran and her husband told her that he had been fired from the hospital and that they were staying in Iran and were not returning to America. They were living with her husband’s family, where she was held hostage and guarded closely indoors. When she found out her father in America was ill, she was told she could go to American to see her father, but their daughter would be staying. She was not going to leave her daughter behind, but she had no rights in Iran. Her husband and family members began abusing her, because she didn’t know their customs, and her daughter was very unhappy at the school she was attending. Then when she was told that when her daughter turned nine, she could be forced to marry or become a child soldier, she knew she had to leave and take her daughter. One day, after adhering to their rules for awhile and gaining some trust, she pretended to go to the market, but she secretly managed to get to the Swiss Embassy for help, met with some humanitarian Iranians who helped her get some forged documents, arranged to kidnap her daughter, and secretly got them out of the city. They had to pass through several checkpoints for several days with Iranian smugglers to finally get to an American Embassy in Ankara and then get to America. After she and her daughter finally got back to America, she became an author and began working with other people in similar circumstances. As a mother myself, that movie was so scary to me too. 😱
Whe' will girls stop dreaming of Prince charming who will sweep them off their feet? Sso smitten you do not background checks, they see no red flags, rush things so longing for a happily ever after that really doesnt exist
@@mh1979odense He was weeks old when he was taken, and she stated herself that he looked nothing like before, so clearly HIS MOTHER wasn't so sure either. I have kids. That was a really dumb statement for you to make. How many switched babies have there been where the families didn't find out until a DNA test was done for one reason or another?
Beware of meeting new partners in a BAR of all places. Online is dangerous too! How about you stick with the original people you know and grew up with…they can’t all be as bad as Daniel here! Give love a good chance not just blindly guessing!!
It's wild that families who have had some life experiences don't coach their children on common sense life...cultural differences, too young , didn't live together, met on holiday, got pregnant too soon, didn't know anything about him (had a record), where were his parents/friends????? Too much naivete. As I told my kids...I will not pay for your mistakes so heed my warnings as a parent who has more life experience than you. Sad for everyone especially her family who lost their financial independence and went through emotional hardship because she made a mistake. Prevention is the best medicine so when those red flags wave...don't ignore them.
Plus living illegally in two foreign countries! Daniel owning property in Texas is likely what permitted US cops to help, then the US FBI. If she had the proper visas and went directly to attorneys in both countries it of course would have been the safer, proper way to deal with this. As is she used an incredible amount of resources from two countries, MX and USA, based really on her own idiot behaviour. Commenters saying she is an amazing mother are not seeing her for the young dumb girl she was. Fathers do have custodial rights. All depositions everywhere are videotaped, so are police interviews. Just a foolish young woman.
Wow - I tell my kid all the time, that there’s no trouble she could ever get into, that she can’t come to me with, and we will figure it out together. There are lots of ways to teach accountability - my kid has also had a rigorous, developmentally appropriate chores expected of her, since she was a young toddler, bc everyone contributes. It’s really important your kids know they can come to you and not get judged- otherwise you leave them extremely vulnerable to manipulation from predators
She’s so gullible. Taking the baby and leaving immediately. It’s Mexico and the family clearly has connections and are corrupt. That said, I’d love to know which embassy helped them take the baby and leave. Sounds crazy.
Can't help being so frustrated with the young woman one 1/3 in. Bad decisions! She was inmature and married a guy she barely KNEW and had a child, putting herself at risk of being deported and becoming so vulnerable emotionally and physically 🙄😱
same with the australian lady who sign an arabic paper without understanding now she is held in egypt cant go out egypt without the permission of his muslim husband 😂
To all the women out there, be careful who you're daiting, double check every little thing he's telling you about himself especially the good fluttering stuff! You can never be too careful in the beginning of a relationship. I'm so happy that you , managed to save your beautiful baby boy
My x did same to me for a few hours and I went crazy could only imagine the torment this mother went tru.. This video made me relive my own experience. Child is 14 today...no relationship with that crazy man who running life in Florida. It's easier to belong to a broken home than to grow up in one.. Tons of crazy damaged person's out here. Thank God for family .
In love with SOMETHING like that?!?! The guy had the MOST dead set of eyes!!!! Those are some of the most empty-but-evil eyes I’ve ever seen on a living person. 😱😱😱 She really didn’t know what she’d seen and too naive to sense the danger through those eyes. This is such a bad encounter.
@@MindyBeee I saw it. But authorities will turn a blind eye when the situation becomes a life and death situation. So, I’d say, she failed there. In addition to her dependence on him on making sure her visa is valid. Especially, when she planned to tell him she was no longer interested in continuing the relationship. I’ve met people who would plan an escape before telling their spouses they want a divorce.
@@user-rl5lt1vx2othat is what I always did when leaving my abusive husband. I never let on anything and planned it well in advance without giving him any clue about it. Sadly he convinced me to go back several times after I left so it got harder and harder to leave as he was getting paranoid about me leaving . But I was very gullible and young plus naive !
It doesn’t make sense that she left him but then came back to talk + took a nap. She knew the dude wasn’t interested in the baby. It just seems really weird
So absolutely true. Since Samantha was still very young, I can understand her actions....It`s the reason so many marriages fail, cz the 2 spouses didn`t know each other good enough AND both of their family backgrounds....Mexicans are very macho society, still today....
She shoylfd have asked advise from the British embassy when she felt threatened. Her baby is half BRITIsh so the British authorities could have intervened. But if Daniel was that gutsy, his wealthy family must be a drug cartel that even the Mexican police didnt want to touch. Just great that they were reunited. Sadly babies ense these things and was surely in a trauma. He woyld need a lot of intervention to heal. Just lidstened to a dad who killed his children to punish his wife. This Daniel is from a a drug cartel family.
Because he is the legal father with citizenship in US and Mexico. Generally you do need a letter from the other parent to fly but a land border is porous. Do not have a baby in a country in which you do not even have permission to live and work, that was completely on her.
What an incredible story of a mothers love and a familys love for their member, unheard of, surreal😮😮😮❤❤❤❤ So much respect for the family, hats off to them, low bow🙏
The very FAMILY she excluded from the beginning of her relationship ended up helping her! I hope she's learned her lesson! You need to know all sides to a person and even then you should never be so naive.
Even if this was a reenactment, that baby was left in the sun shining on its face. Even as a reenactment, this is despicable and negligent. I dislike dumb videos like this. Just report it as news. The reenactment is terrible.
Do you think at the time you were going through this romance if anyone had said to you don’t do this he’s romancing you love bombing you and if you have kids with him, it could be a nightmare, would that have changed what you did you need to listen to wiser people. 😢
This Mom was very lucky to get her child back. Thankfully she had a strong family support not everyone has such a family. More importantly she had the backing of the U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT! I’m sure this Mom has to check behind every corner she walks beside in fear! But I pray she can move forward with her life with her son!
Never tell your partner you are calling off the wedding or leaving until you remove yourself from the situation and are safe in another place and not returning, especially an abuse partner that is changeable like the weather!

I would think there's enough evidence to sue the family for harboring a criminal.

🥰
This is the result when you are blinded by "love".. i cannot comprehend people who go to a different country for a man/woman they dont know well
Yes very bis risk.
She seemed very naïve, thinking “nobody would take a baby away from his mother”
100 per cent
🤐
That is bad enough but then, without knowing them yet, you add a baby to the mix, it is my opinion that almost 100% of crimes begin with bad decisions.

I’m sure she did!
Im pretty sure she did lol. 5 months have passed.
i actually thought that too but Daniel had someone (Sebastian) that was going tolove him and look up to him, a narcissist dream so I don't think the baby wasever in danger.
What a crazy story but kudos to the Lowry's. They are one incredibly family.
True enough she could not have done it alone.
Understand. After my son was born, we were kidnapped by my abuser. I was locked in basement being tortured & drugged for 18 months. I escaped with nothing to an abuse center in the middle of the night. The doctors said they’d never seen anyone(me) so close to death & survive. We were granted an IFP & Victim Protection Program.

All that love-bombing, narcissism 101...

That was an horrendous ordeal for any young mother, I’m delighted with the outcome and that family is what families are about.

Same here and everyone thinks it's so easy to leave but by the time you're in their web, they've usually relieved you of your finances and made you completely horrendously dependant on them. Tale as old as time 😢
An amazing woman and family..I hope nothing comes in between her and her son again
After watching the great legnths, Daniel went through to keep sebastian from his mother, and she not recognizing her baby it brings a question if the father replaced baby Sebastian with another baby. Was a DNA test ever done on the child?
Why no one around this man told him that he was wrong ? Like does he not have a mother ? A father ? A family to tell him he cant kidnap his child from the mother ? What is wrong with them all ? Where is their logic and hearts ? Just wow !
His story was probably different than hers
Do you think he was telling them "oh, I've always hated this baby and didn't think my wife would give all the attention to the baby when it came. I've also been acting like a narcissistic whackjob and come across like I might get physically abusive at any second. So I snatched this child away from his loving, caring mother who takes great care of him"? That's never the story of the person in the wrong, even when it's completely accurate. I'm sure his story involved the mother being neglectful at the very least, possibly downright abusive to the baby, as well as running around on him with multiple men, maybe even throwing in a substance abuse problem for good measure. Abusers are never in the wrong to themselves, no matter how much they have to outright lie to justify their horrible actions.
Narcissistic enabling family system
such an amazing family... if everyone had a family like this, the world would be a much, much better place....
I hope they have recovered financially! Sick world we live in when Gypsy Rose is a millionaire yet people like this are unknown. These are what HEROES look like!
Gypsy Rose should still be in prison for killing her mother. Her boyfriend that actually did the killing got life without parole. She should have been sentenced according to what he was sentenced because she was the mastermind.
@@sherrigates463 Amd she did most the jabs!!! A jury would have seen all the evidence which we can now. She stole TWO knives. Nick said he did 4 jabs. Who did the rest? Where is the other knife she stole? So much more too. Nick is still covering for her. That’s why he still says he has to “protect” her.
Cross-cultural relationships can end so badly when one spouse wants to disappear and take the child!
Harrowing story! Ingenious plot to get baby back. Such a lovely family that all threw themselves behind their family members in need! So proud to be also British!
May God bless your baby and family always. I relate to your story in many ways. If my so called mother was a 1/4 of the woman you are and do even a a 1/4 of what you did to get Sebastian back, my life would've been much, much different. Your family is amazing!! Respect and blessings to you all. Hello dear Sebastian 👋🏻 🕊️ 🙂
😢😢😢😢😮😮😮😮😮
What a loving and supportive family!! Good on her!!
This was terrifying just watching and listening to this madness can't imagine what Samantha was going through and that baby. Her brother was the real man in this case and how brave he was.
What an INCREDIBLE story! And good on that family for sticking together - hopefully they experience some financial relief for doing what the government should have!
Don’t get involved with any guy at a BAR. The best men are not spending time at bars.
Thank God she got him back!!😭🙏🏻
He's a classic narcissist
I found other story in internet about her. He mistrated his own son. And he wait for her in Mexico. Who said the true?
I had my twins in an area where the baby daddy had a lot of family and land i dodnt know of. When the delivery required me to have an epidural, i was petrified his family would take them while i was immobile. I had my friends keep eye contact on my babies until i could hold them myself. Its scary.
Sebastian is very loved and has a wonderful family. I wonder how old he is now.
Well simple math says he is 18 now since he was born in 2006
@@cherylemaybury9967 haha, I must have missed that.
It's okay me too 😂
Psychopaths are born; Sociopaths are made‼️ This man is soooo scary‼️
He is very scary
I am sending out my thoughts and prayers and love to her and her whole family ❤ even though it was a long time ago
Oh the poor naive girl - and her family. So many people don't know much about human behaviour and get themselves into all sorts of trouble and often dead.
I was married to a Hispanic man whose attitude was similar in many ways.
What an amazing family. ❤
“The perfect man”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
There’s no such thing as a perfect man
They could make a wonderful movie out of this story. So glad it had a happy ending.
This was incredible! God Bless you and your family! Sebastian is a miracle! I hope you all have a blessed life. 🙏✝️☮️
The baby being taken from his mom and her not being present during those first few months of his life will FOREVER effect him and his brain development. The man who took the baby forever damaged that little boy. The things that happen to us as babies shape us forever
Especially when breastfeeding. You can get seriously ill if you are not able to feed or have to be put on meds not to be producing anymore.
But it’s the first 3 years really…he had bonded with his mother before he was kidnapped.. so hopefully he recovered for the most part. The live of a mother trumps EVERYTHING. 🩵🤍
So vrey true.
Love wins

You are phenomenal ❤️ I'm sorry you went through this. I wish your son the best life.
I hope her guard is never down because you never know he might go over to her country & try to kidnap the little boy there.
I don't think so. He'd be completely out of his element. And honestly, I think he's too lazy.
Yes anything is possible he could set someone up to kidnap the little boy.
He won't, he is wanted in America for kidnapping, so if he did go, he'd be arrested at the airport
@@empfangwien521 that is great but she lives in the UK where her family lives. Sadly he’s probably already found another victim he can abuse now.
@empfangwien521
Indeed. And since he's wanted for international kidnapping, he's more than likely on the radar of the Yard, Interpol and other law enforcement agencies in the Western world. He's probably scared to death to leave Mexico lindo.
He treated me like a princess. That’s where it all goes wrong.
Ah. Rich guy. Treating me like a princess. Did they stop and think. Why?? What’s so special in me ? Nope.
There was plenty special about her. I don't know about you, projecting with petty shade.
What a beautiful family. May baby Sebastian, his heroic nother and entire family be blessed forever and never ever apart from each other.
In my young adult life, I watched a movie. “Not without my child” with Sally Fields and it scared me to death. I had the fore thought at that time in my life, I would NEVER PUT MYSELF IN THAT SITUATION!
she’s married a muslim man the most dangerous people
That was an excellent movie…
I remember watching that movie, “Not Without My Daughter,” years ago, and it was terrifying for the mother, played by Sally Fields. Sally Fields’ character marries an Iranian-American doctor in America and they have a daughter. Later, her husband convinces her and their daughter to accompany him to go visit his family in Iran for two weeks. She was reluctant, but relented, and soon after, her fears were realized after they got to Iran and her husband told her that he had been fired from the hospital and that they were staying in Iran and were not returning to America.
They were living with her husband’s family, where she was held hostage and guarded closely indoors. When she found out her father in America was ill, she was told she could go to American to see her father, but their daughter would be staying. She was not going to leave her daughter behind, but she had no rights in Iran.
Her husband and family members began abusing her, because she didn’t know their customs, and her daughter was very unhappy at the school she was attending. Then when she was told that when her daughter turned nine, she could be forced to marry or become a child soldier, she knew she had to leave and take her daughter.
One day, after adhering to their rules for awhile and gaining some trust, she pretended to go to the market, but she secretly managed to get to the Swiss Embassy for help, met with some humanitarian Iranians who helped her get some forged documents, arranged to kidnap her daughter, and secretly got them out of the city. They had to pass through several checkpoints for several days with Iranian smugglers to finally get to an American Embassy in Ankara and then get to America. After she and her daughter finally got back to America, she became an author and began working with other people in similar circumstances.
As a mother myself, that movie was so scary to me too. 😱
@@peakydene1943 how about the sarah and amina case there egyptian father killed them inside his taxi
@@peakydene1943 stay away from islam educate your daughter try to watch christian prince in his youtube he study islamic law to debunk the muslim 😂❤️
Whe' will girls stop dreaming of Prince charming who will sweep them off their feet? Sso smitten you do not background checks, they see no red flags, rush things so longing for a happily ever after that really doesnt exist
How does she know that that's really her son?
She's THE mom.
I don't think you have any kids yourself? otherwise you would know better.
Do you know how babies are made? Oh my, if not, I hope you aren’t sexually active
I'm pretty sure he would've been formally identified.
@@mh1979odenseEven the mom had concerns apparently.
@@mh1979odense He was weeks old when he was taken, and she stated herself that he looked nothing like before, so clearly HIS MOTHER wasn't so sure either. I have kids. That was a really dumb statement for you to make. How many switched babies have there been where the families didn't find out until a DNA test was done for one reason or another?
Beware of meeting new partners in a BAR of all places. Online is dangerous too!
How about you stick with the original people you know and grew up with…they can’t all be as bad as Daniel here! Give love a good chance not just blindly guessing!!
I think this is an excellent idea. Don't go chasin' waterfalls
@@user-rh9jg9fu7z
😜…🤗👏👏👏🎈
What a wonderful family that all stuck together to make this happen. I so hope you win a big lottery...❤
It's wild that families who have had some life experiences don't coach their children on common sense life...cultural differences, too young , didn't live together, met on holiday, got pregnant too soon, didn't know anything about him (had a record), where were his parents/friends????? Too much naivete.
As I told my kids...I will not pay for your mistakes so heed my warnings as a parent who has more life experience than you.
Sad for everyone especially her family who lost their financial independence and went through emotional hardship because she made a mistake.
Prevention is the best medicine so when those red flags wave...don't ignore them.
Plus living illegally in two foreign countries! Daniel owning property in Texas is likely what permitted US cops to help, then the US FBI. If she had the proper visas and went directly to attorneys in both countries it of course would have been the safer, proper way to deal with this. As is she used an incredible amount of resources from two countries, MX and USA, based really on her own idiot behaviour. Commenters saying she is an amazing mother are not seeing her for the young dumb girl she was. Fathers do have custodial rights. All depositions everywhere are videotaped, so are police interviews. Just a foolish young woman.
Wow - I tell my kid all the time, that there’s no trouble she could ever get into, that she can’t come to me with, and we will figure it out together.
There are lots of ways to teach accountability - my kid has also had a rigorous, developmentally appropriate chores expected of her, since she was a young toddler, bc everyone contributes. It’s really important your kids know they can come to you and not get judged- otherwise you leave them extremely vulnerable to manipulation from predators
She’s so gullible. Taking the baby and leaving immediately. It’s Mexico and the family clearly has connections and are corrupt. That said, I’d love to know which embassy helped them take the baby and leave. Sounds crazy.
I do not believe in fairytales. This man possibly had many women in his life while this woman was back home. He knew exactly how to manipulate her.
Wow what an Amazing 👏 Loving and Dedicated family she has. She couldn't have done it without them.
I am so happy she got her son back, that her and her family risked everything to get him back❤❤❤
Just want to tell the OP that I loved the intro this video, @ 0:58. Well done. x
If it's too good to be true it probably isn't.
The saying is " if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is "
@@dallynutkat3252 🙄
Can't help being so frustrated with the young woman one 1/3 in. Bad decisions! She was inmature and married a guy she barely KNEW and had a child, putting herself at risk of being deported and becoming so vulnerable emotionally and physically 🙄😱
Naiveness in her eyes says it all....
So naive,sooó naive
same with the australian lady who sign an arabic paper without understanding now she is held in egypt cant go out egypt without the permission of his muslim husband 😂
I'm sure they did a DNA test first thing .. they aren't idiots
What an incredible family, and a beautiful ending. Well played Lowry’s!!!! 🙌🏻❤️
To all the women out there, be careful who you're daiting, double check every little thing he's telling you about himself especially the good fluttering stuff! You can never be too careful in the beginning of a relationship. I'm so happy that you , managed to save your beautiful baby boy
If it seems too good to be true, it is.A warning there for us all. I am delighted that this worked out so wonderfully well.
What a remarkable family. This is not a story of hate, it is a story of TRUE LOVE.
What an amazingly mother!!
😢w~
At the begining ...if it seems too good to be true...then it's a lie!!!!!
My x did same to me for a few hours and I went crazy could only imagine the torment this mother went tru..
This video made me relive my own experience. Child is 14 today...no relationship with that crazy man who running life in Florida.
It's easier to belong to a broken home than to grow up in one..
Tons of crazy damaged person's out here.
Thank God for family .
Ladies, know one thing. Men will STOP loving you as soon as you have that baby. You are no longer his princess the moment he sees you give birth.
Hahaha they went to enter to private property this is a family fight is really dangerous.
If someone is acting that crazy and dangerous why didnt she call the cops and get out of there asap
keep rushing into marriage & kids ppl!!!!
In love with SOMETHING like that?!?! The guy had the MOST dead set of eyes!!!! Those are some of the most empty-but-evil eyes I’ve ever seen on a living person. 😱😱😱
She really didn’t know what she’d seen and too naive to sense the danger through those eyes. This is such a bad encounter.
That's an actor!😂😂😂
She didn’t call 911 after he locked her out???
You watched it??! She was worried cos her visa had run out
@@MindyBeee I saw it. But authorities will turn a blind eye when the situation becomes a life and death situation. So, I’d say, she failed there. In addition to her dependence on him on making sure her visa is valid. Especially, when she planned to tell him she was no longer interested in continuing the relationship.
I’ve met people who would plan an escape before telling their spouses they want a divorce.
Awesome victim blaming. @@user-rl5lt1vx2o
She did call the police.
@@user-rl5lt1vx2othat is what I always did when leaving my abusive husband. I never let on anything and planned it well in advance without giving him any clue about it. Sadly he convinced me to go back several times after I left so it got harder and harder to leave as he was getting paranoid about me leaving . But I was very gullible and young plus naive !
I have always been wary of Men who come on to strong. I dint trust that!
It doesn’t make sense that she left him but then came back to talk + took a nap. She knew the dude wasn’t interested in the baby. It just seems really weird
I really wish I had my family's love, support and help when my child was kept and hidden from me by her father. 😢
This is why you don’t move in with strangers, or have children with someone you just met 😮
So absolutely true. Since Samantha was still very young, I can understand her actions....It`s the reason so many marriages fail, cz the 2 spouses didn`t know each other good enough AND both of their family backgrounds....Mexicans are very macho society, still today....
but he was RIIIIICH
🤐
@andreagilbert6469 😂😂😂
Why am I not surprised that this Daniel was garbage.
She shoylfd have asked advise from the British embassy when she felt threatened. Her baby is half BRITIsh so the British authorities could have intervened. But if Daniel was that gutsy, his wealthy family must be a drug cartel that even the Mexican police didnt want to touch. Just great that they were reunited. Sadly babies ense these things and was surely in a trauma. He woyld need a lot of intervention to heal. Just lidstened to a dad who killed his children to punish his wife. This Daniel is from a a drug cartel family.
I’m sure there were red flags but she chose not to see them. But hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20!
How could he travel alone with the baby but she couldn’t?!
She was there illegally
Money....very wealthy family.
Because he is the legal father with citizenship in US and Mexico. Generally you do need a letter from the other parent to fly but a land border is porous. Do not have a baby in a country in which you do not even have permission to live and work, that was completely on her.
@@zapfilmsok but also she was 19
43:49 girl, you DID do anything to save Sebastian..
Living in a hotel is not a dream!
They couldn't find a mexican actor? The guy looks like he's from Iraq.
😂
What an incredible story of a mothers love and a familys love for their member, unheard of, surreal😮😮😮❤❤❤❤
So much respect for the family, hats off to them, low bow🙏
He is narcissist and scary man
Amazing family! 👏 👏 👏
The very FAMILY she excluded from the beginning of her relationship ended up helping her! I hope she's learned her lesson! You need to know all sides to a person and even then you should never be so naive.
Even if this was a reenactment, that baby was left in the sun shining on its face. Even as a reenactment, this is despicable and negligent. I dislike dumb videos like this. Just report it as news. The reenactment is terrible.
Do you think at the time you were going through this romance if anyone had said to you don’t do this he’s romancing you love bombing you and if you have kids with him, it could be a nightmare, would that have changed what you did you need to listen to wiser people. 😢
Big BIG mistake, ladies. You do NOT book a ticket or anything to chase a man.
I cried. Sebastian should be with his mother.
This is 2006
This Mom was very lucky to get her child back. Thankfully she had a strong family support not everyone has such a family. More importantly she had the backing of the U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT! I’m sure this Mom has to check behind every corner she walks beside in fear! But I pray she can move forward with her life with her son!
