True Jennifer. A woman can't be too careful around anyone whether she knows them or not, because evidence shows it's usually a family member or family friend that gets fixated and does something stupid to children or girls or women they know. Cops know this, as dumb as they are, that's why they always focus on friends and family when something bad happens to a girl or a child.
smart thing to do is not get into car with complete strangers Lmao this is what i say a natural consequence for the girl she shoulda kept walking and she would of never been captured
P Webb Yeah! I said it... I didn’t bite my tongue. You know damn well that the likelihood of her getting into a car with a Latino is unlikely and even more unlikely if he was Black. Who did I offend?! The Caucasians , Latinos or Blacks?
She never actually escaped but was released by the guy. Survived yes but not escaped. The dude just let her go one night. If he didn't' she probably would still be there or dead.
God is LOVE my mom and me got asked and she took it I’m like I don’t kno these ppl they could hurt us or be pervs but they weren’t and I’m fine my mom was 28 she’s 29 now I’m 10
Don’t know why there’s such passive aggressiveness in these replies. The girl does exist, she did go to school and other kids do attend said school. It’s not unlikely for them to look into her case after knowing of her.
When my girl was 13 while she was walking home after getting off the bus, a young man pulled up and offered her a ride; she turned it down, telling him she's almost home. When she told me about it, I was terrified and kept praising God for His protection on my girl.
This happened to me when I was 3 or 4. He kept driving next to me after I said no and wanted to give me candy. When I realized he wasn't going to drive off I ran to my grandma house. I never told anyone about this until later in life.
pal oma There are only 2 reasons why my girl was spared: *[1]* my girl was smarter than this child; *[2]* God protected my girl. I don't believe reason [1] is true, so reason [2] must be true. *"If you say, 'Yahweh is my refuge,' and you make the Most High your habitation, no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent. For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways!"* - Psalm 91:9-11.
I was 10 or maybe 11 when this happened, my friend and I were on our scooters in heavy rain, riding home as fast as we could. (Its about 4pm almost dark), I end up going over a storm drain and then plumettint and busting my knee open and the sidewalk is full of blood. A man pulls up and offers us a ride, my friend declines but since I was bleeding and soaked in rain I just wanted to go home, so i agreed. Nothing happened, he took me home. To this day I always wonder if things would be different if both my friend and I agreed to get in his car. Or maybe he was just a very nice guy
I can only imagine how thrilled her mom was when she came back knocking on the front door. She probably never thought she would get to see that happen again. What a blessing ‼️
@@AC-LING666 it seems that you get off commenting sick stuff on certain type of crime videos. You have a pattern that’s unhealthy, I’m not surprised that you’re a sick incel though.

Remember that.
She probably just felt the miracle that she was praying for. God works miracles. I believe her prayers and her actions were the reason she lived. He jntended to kill her but God intervened. Amazing story.
When I was a teenager (around 14) I got into a car with a stranger. He dropped me at school and went on his way. I lived in a small town and I never saw him before or after that day. He was not from town. Could have locked the doors and driven off with me. As soon as I got into the car I thought... This was stupid. I was worried the whole way. I do think I was f#@king stupid, but I did it. I will never judge someone for making a split second decision. I am just so sorry this happened and glad she got to go home.
@@AntiWoke_Autistic I usually rode my bike to school. That day I had to walk.

I was surprised that she stated that she prayed, most young people don’t say that they pray, either they’re afraid of what their friends will say or that they just don’t pray. I thank God that she survived her ordeal with her life. God gave her the strength and courage to deal with her kidnapper as she did. When I was her age, I did stupid things and as a 19 year old woman I made the mistake of getting into a car with 2 men I didn’t know. I was taken to a house and was raped by one of the men. I escaped from the house by climbing out of the window. I ran to the nearest phone booth and called my younger sister, her husband and my father came and got me. I was so scared that the men would find me and kill me. I reported the rape to the police, the officer who took the report said that I was very lucky they didn’t kill me. I blamed myself, because I got into their car. It was my mistake getting into the car, but I didn’t ask to be raped. Both men were arrested, the man who raped me was sentenced to 15 years in prison, the other man was put on probation for 10 years. I never got into another car with someone I didn’t know! I didn’t know or have a relationship with our Lord Christ Jesus at the time, but I do now! I’m so glad that the Lord was watching over me then, Jesus Christ gave me the strength get out of the ropes that tied me to the bed.

Honestly though I feel like even if she had turned the guy’s request down, he would’ve still forced her or threaten her in some way to get in the car...
Moron. It's a known fact that girls all the time turn down rides, and the man simply drives away. Only in a tiny tiny few cases does he jump out of the car and snatch her. Abby's actions were stupid whether he would have jumped out and grabbed her or not. Idiot

Seriously and she just walks all chill up to her door. Most people would have been hysterical and running their fastest to get back inside their home after all that.
From the beginning, she made the Choice to survive, she befriended him and became a confidante to him, even willing to become an accomplice to his other illegal actions...this made herself a human to this monster...so when the law closed in on him, instead of killing her, he let her go...her day 1 choice saved her life, and now she gets to live her life. Empathy goes a long way, even if its a false front...she laughed on the side of the road, her plan worked and she walked home.
It was a smart move... seriously all the cases like this would end up become a murder. There was other case like this tho when bus driver kidnaped students then made them as sex slaves for years
2000: Don’t talk to strangers. 2008: Don’t get in cars with strangers. 2019: Call a stranger to drive you to your house and give them your house address.
Yup. And Paratransit buses from DART. (In my state, Paratransit is a special bus that is for people with disabilities and they come directly to our houses to pick us and up and drop us off. We pay them.) They’re strangers too.
See... After her abduction...when her mother received that letter from her saying that she was okay and she ran away.. The rush to judgement was that this girl was just a brat. She was a little run away that she should pay back all the money for the searches. And her mother always believed she was forced to write that letter. And no one believed your mom, no one believed the story after that letter... And look this girl really was abducted. And after her captor had her write that letter and it was sent out in received.. As soon as the news broke about that letter the rush to judgment was so huge. There was victim-blaming. And a lot of searches and a lot of help for this little girls stopped right then and there. In the entire time she needed assistance and she was being completely tortured and chained up in a box. You can never completely judge someone you do not know. And if the searches are in vain and the person really did just run away.. It's better to be safe than sorry. People need to learn from this.
You're the ignorant one. You don't know what really happened, while she was gone for that whole time. We just have what she TOLD everyone, to go by. Her word vs what probably really happened.
Carrie Ann, Where in this video, did it say she was chained up? If you listened you would have heard that the police were extremely concerned after the mother received the letter from her daughter. It was after the letter that police believed she had been kidnapped, not before! People react differently in different situations, especially when they don’t have all the facts. Police didn’t give out all that they knew. If they had, the girl may not have been found or let go. People make mistakes jumping to judgment in certain situations. That’s just the way life is! No one is perfect and people believe what they want to believe, until they’re given the exact details, they’re going to believe whatever they think is the truth!!
Agreed. Better to be safe than sorry. Even if the person is a runaway they still need counseling and support. If they're young and underage it's not too late for them to change. And ppl really need to stop bitching about money. It's always the manipulative ones who have money issues who complain about this.
Abby went missing on my 15th birthday, just a few days before her own 15th birthday, in a town which is like a second home to me. I remember being up in Conway the weekend after she went missing and seeing all the hard work people were putting into finding her. When I learned that she had returned home safely that following July I remember just sitting there crying in joy that she was ok. Her story is one that has had such an impact on how I live my own life, learning that anything can happen anywhere, no matter how safe you feel there, and I’m so glad that she got this chance to share her story.
Yes, I lived in Conway when that happened. There was a huge billboard right by my apartment that had her picture, it was their for many many months. The whole thing was heart wrenching. Everyone was so grateful when she came home!
She's lying! Look at her tell her story. Zero emotion. She got with this older dude and he got tired of her so he kicked her out and she was posses like ima show you
Brian Cannon pls stop, you can’t come to such rash conclusions based her how she acts almost 5 years after such an incident- not to mention the trauma that people like you and I can’t even begin to understand that she must’ve endured.
Never take rides with strangers, young woman need to take those earbuds out of your ears, stop jogging / walking by yourself in remote areas, for sure.
Tammy Davis This is a world full of psychopaths,rapists and killers.What you are mentioning is an ideal world but we don't live in an ideal world. You can't demand or control someone else's action and be completely careless yourself. World doesn't function like that because it's not a Disney movie. There will be kidnappers,murderers and rapists till the very end of the time.Your safety is YOUR responsibility. When you walk out of the home,you should be cautious. Women need awareness,presence of mind,quick thinking,self defence lessons and a weapon.
Abby, if you ever see this.. You are an amazingly strong young woman. And I hope you get through the trauma and pics of broken pieces of your soul up and learn how to heal from within. And just remember that you survived what most people have never even thought they would ever experience.. You went through it and you came out the other end stronger. Don't ever doubt what you can do in life hun.... the sky truly is the limit for you.. 💕💕
As a mom you know what relief and shock that mother must of felt brought me to tears! And what relief and overwhelming happiness and courage that child felt. No words just wow
Wow how horrific to have to go through such an ordeal at 14 year old. Smart girl and so happy she's free and going on with her life. God bless her and her family. I hope he never gets oof jail
Parents stop letting your children walk home from school and wait at the bus stops alone. No excuses! It's not worth the risk...If something happens you'll wish you would've tooken that time.
I agree with u! But some parents don't have rhe luxury to do that because they work. I stay home thank GOD! 🙏🙏and drive my kids to school,but people are in diff life situations.
When surviving captivity and abuse it is so important to find a way to move on with your life. Otherwise you carry that around forever and you aren't truly free. She was lucky to get away and I'm glad she shared her story to help other young girls avoid a similar fate. So brave.
Tried not to cry but that’s crazy must’ve been such a relief for her mother to have her back in her life alive and ok...hope she is doing ok today and persevering
This is so sad, I just finished watching the Lifetime movie about her and what happened and it made me cry. I'm so glad she is ok now and I hope she got the help and healing she needed.
I believe Abby survived because of her personality and for 14 she didn’t panic but got on the level of her captor she has a sweetness to her she prayed and so did others the video of Abby going up the stairs after 9 long months I couldn’t even imagine how mother and daughter felt! Amazing 🙏
Beautiful to hear she is safe & feeling whole again. Not her fault! We live we learn we help & we push FORWARD. WISH ALL THE BEST IN LIFE MOVING FORWARD. Love You from Az
The lifetime movie was really incredible and Abby is so strong and resilient! So happy she made it out alive and is able to live her life in peace now!
@@thebighousencaaattendancer478 I know, but did you actually think a lifetime movie would be accurate? It shows on daytime television! For what it was, it was very good.
Actually i got a ride from a stranger once n he only picked me up bc he knew somebody else could n wouldnt have good intentions. Godbless that man. Dumb for me saying yes but definitely a good man.
I picked up a hitchhiker when I was in college, she asked me if I would take her to a concert in Albany, but when we got there, the concert had been cancelled. So we bought some beers. Then while driving back to the college, she invited me to her dorm room, and when we got back, we had sex. (She initiated.)
Yes but kids make mistakes. You shouldn't cross the train tracks either but how many do anyway because it's a shortcut? Most people do things they know they shouldn't at one point or another, even adults.
Leggs when I was in 1st grade someone told me my mom asked me to pick them up. I refused because I didn’t know them. My parents actually taught me well. Turns out she was my moms friend but my mom had to leave work to pick me up. If I did say yes, I would’ve been fine. It’s better sad than sorry though.
I never take rides from strangers. I even refused to take a ride from one of my friends mother, as my home was just a few moments away and it felt weird to get a ride from someone, even if I knew them.
In 1994 my 17 year old daughter ran away to be with a boy I disapproved of. His wicked mother helped my daughter to plan and run a way. I was devastated that my precious daughter ran a way. We were very close. The first night I had to go to bed without knowing where she was after knowing for 17 years where she was every night of her life. Not knowing if she was safe and warm or if someone was hurting her. She stayed gone for 6 years and eventually came back after having 2 precious little boys. I can’t begin to say how traumatized I still am that my daughter did that to me. I tried everywhere to find her. Putting posters up, filing a missing persons report, going all over the places where she would go to look for her and to put up missing posters of her beautiful face. I totally understand how this young lady’s poor mother felt when she couldn’t find her daughter.
What an excellent example of a strong person not allowing such a traumatic experience dictate how they live their life afterwards. This is how you win in life.
I remember this very well. At the time my only granddaughter was 15, we lived in a small town abt 45mi away from North Conway. Of course being a grandmother I more than emphasized about "stranger danger" and how it would break grammies heart if anything happened that would take them from me. My granddaughter is in college now miles away from me however, she and her two brothers still get warning and advice about safety from grammie....at the end of my texts I always say: ' it's a g.mother thg!' Abbys abduction brought reality home-this could happen to one of my g.kids. I followed all the news reports about Abby, I kept a picture in my wallet and when in a check out lane I would ask the person behind me if they had seen Abby. I cared about this young girl and was overjoyed that she had returned home. To see her as an adult now and that she is telling her story as to save another is vety heartwarming. Thank you Abby, I'm so glad to see what a beautiful lady you are and your story will surely help many to avoid such a situation as you endured. God Bless you dear and your family. rrc
Wow. What a strong woman. God bless her and I pray she is able to tell her story more and more to warn others-never get into a car with strangers. Parents MUST educate their children the same as we teach them to clean up their room. Children may disobey but we must teach them to not trust people they don’t know-kids are natural trusting and believe the best (I am that way naturally too) but you have to be careful.
The people saying at 14 you should know not to get in a car, no! at 14 what you know is you have the world in your hands and you’re invincible. At 14 there is still a lot of maturing to do as you are still a child.
Abby you are very intelligent how you maneuvered him... I’m go glad you were able to return home! Kudos to you for being strong and forgiving him...God Bless
Imagine her mother's heart when she walked through that door...

The world is not that simple. People have mental issues that will not save them from wanting to hurt others, no matter how much you try to “teach”.
How do you plan to teach "men" with mental disorders. Like do you have a degree in Psychology?
Never breed.
After getting out the car..... I'd scream AMEN
*Wooooooo! Das Right!* 👊💥
youtube university , for sure 👍👍👍
youtube university lol same
Yup I would as well
Seriously and she just walks all chill up to her door. Most people would have been hysterical and running their fastest to get back inside their home after all that.
From the beginning, she made the Choice to survive, she befriended him and became a confidante to him, even willing to become an accomplice to his other illegal actions...this made herself a human to this monster...so when the law closed in on him, instead of killing her, he let her go...her day 1 choice saved her life, and now she gets to live her life. Empathy goes a long way, even if its a false front...she laughed on the side of the road, her plan worked and she walked home.
It was a smart move... seriously all the cases like this would end up become a murder. There was other case like this tho when bus driver kidnaped students then made them as sex slaves for years
2000: Don’t talk to strangers.
2008: Don’t get in cars with strangers.
2019: Call a stranger to drive you to your house and give them your house address.
Berry Berry trust me dude, passengers are more dangerous than the drivers if your referring to Uber and Lyft.
Before uber, there were taxi drivers and school bus drivers.
Yup. And Paratransit buses from DART. (In my state, Paratransit is a special bus that is for people with disabilities and they come directly to our houses to pick us and up and drop us off. We pay them.)
They’re strangers too.
See... After her abduction...when her mother received that letter from her saying that she was okay and she ran away.. The rush to judgement was that this girl was just a brat. She was a little run away that she should pay back all the money for the searches. And her mother always believed she was forced to write that letter. And no one believed your mom, no one believed the story after that letter... And look this girl really was abducted. And after her captor had her write that letter and it was sent out in received.. As soon as the news broke about that letter the rush to judgment was so huge. There was victim-blaming. And a lot of searches and a lot of help for this little girls stopped right then and there. In the entire time she needed assistance and she was being completely tortured and chained up in a box. You can never completely judge someone you do not know. And if the searches are in vain and the person really did just run away.. It's better to be safe than sorry. People need to learn from this.
Carrie Napiecek people are too ignorant to understand
Yup, always pissed me off.
You're the ignorant one. You don't know what really happened, while she was gone for that whole time. We just have what she TOLD everyone, to go by. Her word vs what probably really happened.
Carrie Ann,
Where in this video, did it say she was chained up? If you listened you would have heard that the police were extremely concerned after the mother received the letter from her daughter. It was after the letter that police believed she had been kidnapped, not before! People react differently in different situations, especially when they don’t have all the facts. Police didn’t give out all that they knew. If they had, the girl may not have been found or let go. People make mistakes jumping to judgment in certain situations. That’s just the way life is! No one is perfect and people believe what they want to believe, until they’re given the exact details, they’re going to believe whatever they think is the truth!!
Agreed. Better to be safe than sorry. Even if the person is a runaway they still need counseling and support. If they're young and underage it's not too late for them to change. And ppl really need to stop bitching about money. It's always the manipulative ones who have money issues who complain about this.
Abby went missing on my 15th birthday, just a few days before her own 15th birthday, in a town which is like a second home to me. I remember being up in Conway the weekend after she went missing and seeing all the hard work people were putting into finding her. When I learned that she had returned home safely that following July I remember just sitting there crying in joy that she was ok. Her story is one that has had such an impact on how I live my own life, learning that anything can happen anywhere, no matter how safe you feel there, and I’m so glad that she got this chance to share her story.
Yes, I lived in Conway when that happened. There was a huge billboard right by my apartment that had her picture, it was their for many many months. The whole thing was heart wrenching. Everyone was so grateful when she came home!
Heard about this through Stephanie Soo. So scary
@@leviathanrising9763 what?
LADIES
YOU CANNOT ACCEPT A RIDE
EVER !!!!
Im so glad she survived
I hope young women learn from this
Wow she is strong! God Bless the rest of your life.
Very strong girl!
She's lying! Look at her tell her story. Zero emotion. She got with this older dude and he got tired of her so he kicked her out and she was posses like ima show you
@@briancannon3987 That's not true
@@briancannon3987 what a complete and utter fool you are 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Brian Cannon pls stop, you can’t come to such rash conclusions based her how she acts almost 5 years after such an incident- not to mention the trauma that people like you and I can’t even begin to understand that she must’ve endured.
these incredibly strong young women who not only survive horrific attacks but also bravely move forward with their lives are truly inspirational.
Never take rides with strangers, young woman need to take those earbuds out of your ears, stop jogging / walking by yourself in remote areas, for sure.
Amy Cisneros how about men stop kidnapping women? That is where the blame should be
Actually majority of murder victims are men, males need to be more careful.
You know it also happens to men
How the hell do you see a story like this and blame a 14 year old, a CHILD, for what happened?
Tammy Davis This is a world full of psychopaths,rapists and killers.What you are mentioning is an ideal world but we don't live in an ideal world. You can't demand or control someone else's action and be completely careless yourself. World doesn't function like that because it's not a Disney movie. There will be kidnappers,murderers and rapists till the very end of the time.Your safety is YOUR responsibility. When you walk out of the home,you should be cautious. Women need awareness,presence of mind,quick thinking,self defence lessons and a weapon.
Praying for you, you're so strong! So proud of you!
I'm happy for her with tears; she survived. She is strong and smart.
Abby, if you ever see this.. You are an amazingly strong young woman. And I hope you get through the trauma and pics of broken pieces of your soul up and learn how to heal from within. And just remember that you survived what most people have never even thought they would ever experience.. You went through it and you came out the other end stronger. Don't ever doubt what you can do in life hun.... the sky truly is the limit for you.. 💕💕
Yes mam I agree
For what he's done to that child 45-90 years in prison isn't enough...he deserves the death penalty period!!!
⬇
Wow poor Abby but what amazing maturity and resilience!
You are so brave Abby. I hope the rest of your life is filled with happiness!
I am so happy she made it home alive and is doing well.. That man needs to be brutalized in prison!
So happy she’s alive. I hope she will be able to recover. Bless her heart.
Why are y’all blaming the victim for getting in the car!? Y’all are so rude blame the sickos that kidnap people
As a mom you know what relief and shock that mother must of felt brought me to tears! And what relief and overwhelming happiness and courage that child felt. No words just wow
Wow how horrific to have to go through such an ordeal at 14 year old. Smart girl and so happy she's free and going on with her life. God bless her and her family. I hope he never gets oof jail
she is so strong. her attitude and resilience is amazing
What a great girl. She overcame everything with a forgiving, and humble heart. I wish her the very best. 🤍
What a strong girl❤️ Proud of her!❤️
Parents stop letting your children walk home from school and wait at the bus stops alone. No excuses! It's not worth the risk...If something happens you'll wish you would've tooken that time.
I agree with u! But some parents don't have rhe luxury to do that because they work. I stay home thank GOD! 🙏🙏and drive my kids to school,but people are in diff life situations.
"Taken."
This is incredible how strong she is.
That is every lost child mother’s dream. For their child to show up at their doorstep. It breaks my heart knowing not every story ends this hopeful💔
I'm so glad she's alive! I can't imagine all that she went through. God bless her! ❤
What a brave young lady! So glad she was able to make it home safely and God protected her. Amazing!!
When surviving captivity and abuse it is so important to find a way to move on with your life. Otherwise you carry that around forever and you aren't truly free. She was lucky to get away and I'm glad she shared her story to help other young girls avoid a similar fate. So brave.
What a strong, smart, young lady...God bless.
Wow, I can't believe I'm just now seeing this. Brave girl!
Yes, she should’ve known better
Yes,it was a silly thing to do
Yes,was 14! She’s a kid
Put away the facts and just be happy she’s ok now 💗
Tried not to cry but that’s crazy must’ve been such a relief for her mother to have her back in her life alive and ok...hope she is doing ok today and persevering
Amazing brave girl glad she was released I do pray for healing of all the memories of all the horrific things she suffered ...
This is so sad, I just finished watching the Lifetime movie about her and what happened and it made me cry. I'm so glad she is ok now and I hope she got the help and healing she needed.
For some reason I started crying her story's amazing
I was so happy when she was rescued!! And I remember when she got lost I was praying so they could find her!! So happy she was found! God is great!
I cannot imagine how happy her mom should have felt when she knocked on the door
I believe Abby survived because of her personality and for 14 she didn’t panic but got on the level of her captor she has a sweetness to her she prayed and so did others the video of Abby going up the stairs after 9 long months I couldn’t even imagine how mother and daughter felt! Amazing 🙏
It's a parent's worst nightmare especially knowing that you've taken all the precautionary measures to keep your child safe
Beautiful to hear she is safe & feeling whole again. Not her fault! We live we learn we help & we push FORWARD. WISH ALL THE BEST IN LIFE MOVING FORWARD. Love You from Az
Thank you for being so resilient and positive. I pray for more and more good things happening for you. I hope for continued strength and healing.
Oh wow if you look him up he’s EXTREMELY creepy looking. Never go anywhere with a stranger!
Bet you he was single, too.
Thank God she made it out alive
When she was saying about walking home, I immediately thought 'I'm glad they didn't move!' Very strong lady!
She’s so smart 💯 I pray she has a long and happy life ❤️
Her prayers paid off, God Almighty protected her. ♥ She is an extraordinary person.
The lifetime movie was really incredible and Abby is so strong and resilient! So happy she made it out alive and is able to live her life in peace now!
The Lifetime Movie was very inaccurate to what actually happened.
@@thebighousencaaattendancer478 I know, but did you actually think a lifetime movie would be accurate? It shows on daytime television! For what it was, it was very good.
I hope she found peace! What a strong young lady!
She is so brave to go through all that and stay strong
That ladies and gents, is the definition of intestinal fortitude.
What a smart, beautiful girl!
Imagine opening the Door you see your lost child and you see your mom. Crying just trying to type it. I cant Imagine but I feel the momment.
Abby is so brave! Sending her love!
EVERY WOMAN WHO ACCEPTS A RIDE FROM A STRANGER ENDS UP IN THIS SITUATION IN 95% OF THE CASES.
Lies
yeah i thought the same but i didn’t want to get hate
Actually i got a ride from a stranger once n he only picked me up bc he knew somebody else could n wouldnt have good intentions. Godbless that man. Dumb for me saying yes but definitely a good man.
That's not even a little bit true. Still not a good idea though, but why lie?
I picked up a hitchhiker when I was in college, she asked me if I would take her to a concert in Albany, but when we got there, the concert had been cancelled. So we bought some beers. Then while driving back to the college, she invited me to her dorm room, and when we got back, we had sex. (She initiated.)
Thank you God for answering her prayers 💜🙏🏻
I'm glad you survived and was set free Abbey. God bless you! ❤🙏
She is a champion and an absolute legend.. I’ll never forget her story❤
Sorry to say but.....at 14 u should know better not to take a ride
youtube university true but she’s a kid at the end of the day.
Yes but kids make mistakes. You shouldn't cross the train tracks either but how many do anyway because it's a shortcut? Most people do things they know they shouldn't at one point or another, even adults.
@@paulaw418 exactly
Leggs when I was in 1st grade someone told me my mom asked me to pick them up. I refused because I didn’t know them. My parents actually taught me well. Turns out she was my moms friend but my mom had to leave work to pick me up. If I did say yes, I would’ve been fine. It’s better sad than sorry though.
@@paulaw418 .... Everyone makes a mistake you don't gotta be a kid . Also that's not a kid that's a teen .
Yes! Always remember to stay as calm and smart as possible in a kidnapping situation.
14 years old to have survived this kidnapping and torture🙏. What a brave soul💜
God bless her! She is a strong woman and I hope she continues to grow on her path.
I never take rides from strangers. I even refused to take a ride from one of my friends mother, as my home was just a few moments away and it felt weird to get a ride from someone, even if I knew them.
Amen...dont let your life situations define you....
She’s so brave and incredible
So cool how she stayed in prayer not ending her prayers. Wow
In 1994 my 17 year old daughter ran away to be with a boy I disapproved of. His wicked mother helped my daughter to plan and run a way. I was devastated that my precious daughter ran a way. We were very close. The first night I had to go to bed without knowing where she was after knowing for 17 years where she was every night of her life. Not knowing if she was safe and warm or if someone was hurting her. She stayed gone for 6 years and eventually came back after having 2 precious little boys. I can’t begin to say how traumatized I still am that my daughter did that to me. I tried everywhere to find her. Putting posters up, filing a missing persons report, going all over the places where she would go to look for her and to put up missing posters of her beautiful face. I totally understand how this young lady’s poor mother felt when she couldn’t find her daughter.
I'd disown her if I was you
Bless your heart 🥺
Damn that's crazy.
What an excellent example of a strong person not allowing such a traumatic experience dictate how they live their life afterwards. This is how you win in life.
Im so sorry you went through this Abby ...
Keep your head up 💯
I remember this very well. At the time my only granddaughter was 15, we lived in a small town abt 45mi away from North Conway. Of course being a grandmother I more than emphasized about "stranger danger" and how it would break grammies heart if anything happened that would take them from me. My granddaughter is in college now miles away from me however, she and her two brothers still get warning and advice about safety from grammie....at the end of my texts I always say: ' it's a g.mother thg!' Abbys abduction brought reality home-this could happen to one of my g.kids. I followed all the news reports about Abby, I kept a picture in my wallet and when in a check out lane I would ask the person behind me if they had seen Abby. I cared about this young girl and was overjoyed that she had returned home. To see her as an adult now and that she is telling her story as to save another is vety heartwarming. Thank you Abby, I'm so glad to see what a beautiful lady you are and your story will surely help many to avoid such a situation as you endured. God Bless you dear and your family. rrc
The video of her going to her front door!!!! Wowww her Mom must of had the emotional overload of her lifetime! Praise God shes alive!!
Wow. What a strong woman. God bless her and I pray she is able to tell her story more and more to warn others-never get into a car with strangers. Parents MUST educate their children the same as we teach them to clean up their room. Children may disobey but we must teach them to not trust people they don’t know-kids are natural trusting and believe the best (I am that way naturally too) but you have to be careful.
The people saying at 14 you should know not to get in a car, no! at 14 what you know is you have the world in your hands and you’re invincible. At 14 there is still a lot of maturing to do as you are still a child.
So what's the reason GROWN WOMEN in their THIRTIES get into stranger's cars? I'll wait for your answer, genius. 14 is NOT 4.
How many times has it ended good when you get into a strangers car?
100% of the time.
100% of the time cause there are no psychos where I live
@@reng935 100% of the time, so far. ;)
@@airyowo9971 good point ;)
for me 100% time out of double digits
Powerful person who deserves to thrive
Abby you are very intelligent how you maneuvered him... I’m go glad you were able to return home! Kudos to you for being strong and forgiving him...God Bless
