I definitely feel that Elizabeth Smart is a woman for all young women to look up to she is brave she is honest she is strong she is everything I want to be God bless her and her family we should keep shining love and light into the world
this is the best interview I have seen her give - sometimes when she retells the story it sounds rehearsed (probably because that is how she has dealt with the trauma). But she is really remarkable in the way she approaches this, in her recovery, and in her composure and help to everyone.
Someone tried to kidnap me when I was 8 back in 1990 and I learned in our DARE program to scream as loud as I could no and to run and thats exactly what I did the day a man tried to lure me into his car.
I wonder if when she was only 14 just b4 she was kidnapped at knifepoint to her throat and held captive for 9 hellish months she'd eventually become a public speaker/figure without being a celebrity on her mission to aid and be an inspiration for any and all women of probably young and fairly young. God bless her.
Yo Denis!.. Why no dogs.. those hound dogs would have immediately picked up on Wanda's fresh stench😕 Would've led them right to the camp!..She was just up on the hill from her home.
Everything that happens has a purpose, God chose this beautiful articulate girl to go through this terrible ordeal and allow her to survive and heal to help others to make a difference. Great testimony of faith and hope.
1:40- My oldest daughter is 3 years old and I can guarantee that she would never willingly go with a stranger the way she describes. My daughter is friggin bright as hell and tough as nails. I feel bad for the prick who tries to lure her away. He'd end up bringing her back after a day with an apology note. She'd kick his ass.
Toddlers experience more stranger distress. Your 3yo daughter also wouldn't be able to process a knife to her throat and to think of the safety of others if she didn't comply. But wait until she's an impressionable teenager seeking attention. You've obviously not seen those videos where parents swear up and down that their kid would never go with a stranger, so they conduct a controlled experiment where a "stranger" asks to meet them or whatever and THE KID GOES!! My mother claimed the Ransom of Red Chief over me too. But I think you might be delusional.
I really understand what you say...relating to my granddaughter she is the same (she is 12) but I am not confident she would actually be able to protect herself against these arseholes. My nightmares every day....
I want to know if she ever felt pissed at her parents for being so naive as to bring strange homeless people around the home and kids. And the church for putting these ideas into the heads of everyone around her. When we found out what happened, I couldn't believe how stupid her parents were, to be honest. Helping people is a good thing, but there are safe and unsafe ways to do so, and then there are incredibly stupid things..that all said, I might be jaded since my childhood shoolmate was kidnapped and murdered by james woods and according to stories, she had many chances to escape when he was passed out drunk, but she stayed because she thought she could convert him, and if that is true, I blame the church for wrecking her chances of surviving, and I blame the killer for killing her. Again, she was mormon.
You should teach him not to act like s**** in the beginning. I have no sympathy for you shouldn't put yourself in that spot as far as I'm concerned you're brought it all on yourself
I feel really bad for this girl because I don't think shes really all that intelligent but she's thrust into the spotlight as a role model and spokesperson for stuff she really has no business giving advice about. I don't mean that as an insult. I don't think she's dumb, I just don't think shes all that intelligent, she's just a regular 20-something year old girl. They're asking her questions about stuff that is way over her head and you can instantly see it in her face when she's asked a question. She was abducted and raped, that makes her a victim, not an expert.
What do you call it after 20 or 30 times? Half rape? What? She ran away with this couple. She drank alcohol and took LSD. She is no victim. She is a liar.
Actually, Smart has done multiple public speaking, reaching out to other survivors and hearing their stories and experiences. She's done her research. Smart knows what she's doing.
She is so poised, eloquent and elegant.
What an intelligent and articulated women,what shes been thru and how shes handeled it is a testimony to her and her parents,thank you Elizabeth
Harry Klyne I think you mean articulate.

Such an amazing and angelic woman.

ANY CHILD CAN BE KIDNAPPED. Don’t fool yourself!!! That is so dumb.

Stop victim blaming! Jesus fucking Christ what is wrong with you?
If you had any idea how human psychology works you would not be asking such MORONIC questions.

you are the one who is sick, twisted and disturbed.
Quit running your mouth. Keep your opinions and your ugly anorexic face to your self. I know E. Smart. Do you? C'mon mouth do you?
Take the stupid glasses off, you look like a goofball.
