I was just reading on Yahoo that they have finally filed charges against the man and woman that kidnapped this beautiful young woman. The charges? Aggravated Kidnapping, Aggravated Burglary and Aggravated Sexual Assault. That just makes me sick, makes my stomach turn. I am beyond at a loss for words over why this man would do such a thing. Take this child from the safety of her own bed, brainwash her, rape her and then declare he "loves" her and says she's his wife??

This child will need a lot of prayer as she heals, emotionally, physically and mentally from this ordeal.

at least she has a loving family.
And she can try to move on.

That's so much easier to say than to do.

A loving family helps but it doesn't fix the psychological damages that she's experienced.
