I can't get over the fact that Michele was pregnant by him 5 times and he caused her to violently miscarry each time. What a sick human being. On top of that she can't have children. I'm speechless.....
That truly breaks my heart. He tried to ruin this woman but he didn't, she was stronger then he ever realised. I can't imagine the suffering these women still go through to this day.
My heart kept breaking with every word she spoke. It was just one trauma after another. Not only was she raped, but got pregnant by her rapist MULTIPLE times and then forced to miscarry MULTIPLE times and now she can't even have kids? That makes me want to throw up, I couldn't imagine someone being so horrible
Yes, she's very child like in the way she speaks. Michelle has grown tremendously, but is similar in speech but Amanda seems to be well spoken. I think Gina was the youngest though, so it makes sense. These girls are amazing and have exhibited tremendous strength, I can't believe what they've been through. I hope they can have some peace in their lives.
I love her and I hate how she is portrayed as mentally disabled. She's absolutely not. She is a well spoken, smart woman. I am so sorry she endured abuse her entire life!
It broke my heart when Gina answered, "I'm not comfortable." You can tell her parents taught her good manors. She was very respectful when she answered the question. She even gave a timid smile. Her innocence was robbed from her....absolutely heartbreaking.
This interviewer is fantastic. Good for her for being a great journalist and asking questions that are important but protecting the victims with her word choice and giving them the option of what they want to talk about. She doesn't treat them like this is a movie; she realizes that this is severe trauma. Unfortunately, this kind of discretion is becoming more and more rare in the journalism world.
This interviewer did a phenomenal job. She asked the questions we all are wondering but she did it in a way to empower Gina to know she doesn’t have to answer if she is not comfortable. Very nicely done!
If anyone wonders why the girls talk a little slowly or child like its because hey have been away for many years and their has been no school or human contact
2 out of 3 girls was already slower then normal which is fine but maybe another reason why he choose them because they were more vulnerable. It's important to give the right information
It was not the same daughter. Castro had more than one. Michelle knew Emily Castro and Gina was friends with Arlene. I forgot which daughter Amanda was familiar with but she was familiar with Castro's son because I believe he also worked at the same Burger King she did.
I said the same thing!! That if all members of 1 family just-so-happen to know all 3 abducted girls... they/their backgrounds should have been investigated further and more thoroughly.
This was some terrible police work. Castro's daughters knew all the girls and the son worked with one of them and Castro was friends with one of the girls dad. Are you telling me that no one thought that was a little suspicious. Certainly they interviewed Castro's daughter who we walking home with the girl he kidnapped, and they must have interview burgar king employees. That alone is a red flag.
I heard Michelle knight is married now. It absolutely sucks that she can’t start her own family, she’s unable to have a baby now. That’s exactly what she needs is her own loving family.
Poor Michelle didn't have any family looking for her, and was reminded of that by that demond everyday! 5 pregnancies and he killed her unborn babies every time! It's amazing she actually survived this! She's probably the strongest person I've ever seen!
With these 3 beautiful, strong women being found, it makes me wonder. How many other missing ppl are out there and still alive but being held captive. I never knew Gina’s father was friends with this monster.
My heart goes out to these 3 girls and anyone who has suffered through anything similar. Just remember the person tried their hardest to beat and grind you down but they couldn't, they were too weak and didn't realise how strong you are/were. You aren't a *victim,* you are a *survivor!!*
It was different daughters of his, even his son, so they couldn't connect them to him as easily. They were only acquaintances, that didn't make it obvious enough.
No matter what kind pain he inflicted on them, they always stayed strong and like Michelle said, he couldn't break her. God bless the 3 beautiful women. My heart goes out to them❤️❤️❤️ and Amanda's mother, may she rest in peace❤️🕊️
"He couldn't break me. Why let the devil control me." Wow that is just..wow she is probably one of the strongest people I have seen. Truly inspiring. God bless these girls but dang Michelle is a fighter and a warrior!!!
Michelle Knight is honestly an inspiration to me, I've been through so much- shes been through so much more and shes still strong and spunky. Shes a fcking fighter and I hope I can meet her one day to let her know how proud I am of her, how in awe I am of her spirit, and so impressed by her level of faith and strength.🥰
Never underestimate someone because of their small stature. I admire the strength of this tiny woman with a kind heart. Intelligent with a will of iron❤
Omg..i lost it and i felt it when she said that when she was sleeping castro jumped on her stomach i bet that man was heavy..they are all so strong 😭 ♥ they deserved better..
These stories always scare me.My mother told us daily of dangers like this,things even happen to me.And i watch my children so close.They dont go outside without me, no babysitters dont stay with family members.I hold their hand when we leave home.But man he was a school bus driver! How do we protect our children from monsters like that
Porsha Taylor I am the same with my children! I’ve heard the statistics about child molestation - and how it’s almost always someone close. I love my family and my in-laws, but Needless to say, we don’t do sleepovers. I taught my kids “good touch bad touch” when they were still in diapers. They don’t take a school bus to school but when I was a child we had known bus drivers, and there were 2 all the children always wanted. Great people, wouldn’t hurt anybody. Worked in their positions for over 30 years! Unfortunately today it’s difficult to find good, honest, reliable drivers for school buses. I wonder how long that sicko worked for the district. Glad he’s dead, though I wish his victims or their families could have taken their revenge.
I've always been very protective of my children (3 are grown now, so my hovering didn't hinder them lol). I raised them to communicate openly with their father and I. That they are NEVER to be alone with ANY adult, relative, friend, or even police or doctors. (A job description doesn't make a person safe!). They were never allowed to go with or get a ride from ANYONE other than us, unless they give the children our current secret code word.
These women have so much courage it’s unbelievable. The pure torture they went through and the unthinkable things that sick piece of trash made them endure, I could NEVER. So glad they got out. ❤️
This is why "stranger danger" is the worst thing children are taught. They're taught to fear the strange man in the van they've never seen before, when actually, abductions by strangers is the rarest type of abduction. These girls thought it was okay to get in Ariel's car because he isn't technically a stranger to them. If they were taught the truth about abduction statistics, what he did to them could've been prevented.
True! My mom told me that I couldn’t go with anyone without her permission, even my dad or a cousin. She told me the only person that would pick me up from school was my grandmother and if she wasn’t there then I should ask a teacher to call her at work.
@@razojacqueline Charles was right in calling the police morons. It never occurred to them to think a family friend may have taken them. Who do the fathers know? Maybe someone called Ariel Castro? Oh the local bus driver, it might be worth doing a welfare check at his home just to be sure? Nope.
@@sandydennylives1392 oh they definitely dropped the ball. I saw an interview with Ariel Castro’s ex wife’s new husband and he said he suspected Ariel as a suspect in Gina’s disappearance because she was best friends with his daughter and he knew the family. He told the police and the police never did anything with the information. He thinks it was because they were not in good terms and the police thought he was just making false allegations against Ariel.
@@razojacqueline Who had a big house with several floors and lots of rooms. You couldn't hide anyone there could you. In the UK they investigate the nearest and dearest and look for family links first. Didn't it strike the police that perhaps the girls were cautious and only took lifts from people they knew? Esp when one girl said 'I'm taking a lift'. If only she had added...'from Ariel'. But even then the police wouldn't have put two and two together. 'Nah, not the school bus driver, on his wages he must live in a one bedroom flat, no point looking there'.
That's why I always had a code word between us and our children, NOBODY (excluding ourselves), under ANY circumstances, could pick our children up or give them a ride without the current code word. Not even grandparents, relatives or friends. I'm so grateful they were able to finally escape, but I wish it never happened, and I wish it never would again. I also strongly believe that there is NEVER a case where a child should be alone with an adult other than a parent or TRUSTED babysitter/ friend
Gina's story is breaking me to pieces that poor girl I love how smart she was and how she pieced together that others were there. I want all these girls to have peace after all they've suffered Why don't we protect Women and Children?
One of the things that pisses me off the most about this case is that he used his own daughters to abduct all three of the girls they were all friends with his daughters and he used their names to get the girls inside that house
Their strength is amazing. Michelle especially. It is easy to see why he kept them separated. There is no way he could have gotten by with this otherwise.
I'm happy she is free and she will have the opportunity for the next level to get a new life in the future to make sure that I am going through a lot of things that are important for you Gina and your family and friends will never know what you are going through a rough moment 8 yrs ago.
I had this happen in my 20s and I jumped out of the car😬But if it went in this direction NO ONE WOULD CARE I HAVE NO FAMILY. This can happen to adults too😑
Michelle is unbelievable, she's the strongest in that she could talk about it, where the others couldn't... and ... I can't. I admire her strength so much. I'm very sure,... the other girls got pregnant too. It's just not talked about. Amanda is also unbelievable, she took the risk to try to escape and succeeded and loves her little girl because that's HERS, not his. Gina is unbelievable in that she was the youngest taken, and still lives on.
@@MeTreesndirt He was over confident that he had control over them mentally. he played head games with them to keep them trapped by fear. The risk was... that he'd come home while she was trying to escape or that he was hiding somewhere and would punish her for trying. You obviously have not really followed this story.
Michelle Knight is a beautiful spirit. She had the holy spirit with her the whole time& confidence and strength. However she's been on a lot of TV shows and I pray that she has not sold out to the system because the system has been the one to say they care like dr.phil. I pray for her soul to be preserved and not fall into the materialism of this world many people who end up on TV after such a horrific thing are offered lots of money for their soul. Those that understand know what I'm talkin about.
What pisses me off is that she knew this person personally, That was her father's friend, Cuz she would have never got in the car with the dude if he wasnt familiar...
Any kid could fall prey to these kinds of monsters. We should retrain our children. To trust no one and get in nobody's car.Even if the person is someone you know or a parent of someone you know. Don't get in their car. Trust no one! It's usually the person you wouldn't suspect.
Mckay Fam right! a passing acquaintance is just as dangerous (probably more so) then a total stranger when it comes to kids. They know them just enough that they might be able to gain there trust if they are charming enough but not enough to be questioned if the kid goes missing :(
If you going to take a ride from someone you don't know, be sure to take a photo of their face before you get in the ride, and get their "name" and send both the name of the person and the PHOTO especially the photo to someone you can trust like a family member incase you go missing or much worse. In this case, they thought they could trust him since they knew his daughters, and figured he's a nice guy, and nothing could go wrong, so I can understand why they got in the ride with him, but in general, you should never take a ride from a stranger ever, even if they look nice, and you should always take a photo of their face before climbing in and get their name if possible. I feel every school from elementary to high school should educate this to students at some point, especially parents.
I cry out for these women bcuz while I experienced some heartbreak in my teen yrs. Was absolutely nothing compared to the Hell they went through. And my God for a whole decade. God bless them..
I can't blame her tho she was kidnapped at age 14 and was locked up for 9 years, she never got a chance to be a teen so no wonder why she still acts like and sees the world of a teenage girl.
Folks should take this story into consideration that all family members can’t be trusted 😐 like seriously. You have people looking normal doing crazy crap everyday.
What’s even weirder to me is that some of his kids the eldest daughter and his son knew he was abusive to their mother, but they acted like he was this great silly dad..??
@@juliaarnold1078 Yes Amanda and Gina had a different strategy for dealing with Castro than Michelle. This is not to say Michelle's way was wrong but simply that they each had different ways of dealing with him.
What gets me is how they both treated her after they were freed. I can understand why they chose to go their separate ways, being around each other probably feels awkward to them. They could have been a little bit nicer toward Michelle especially Amanda. No offense but I thought Amanda was a half bitch. I watched the full documentary before it removed off of Hulu, I thought Amanda was really arrogant. Her answer to Robin Roberts' question regarding Michelle was very rude & disrespectful. She said " We were in this together because of he did but that don't mean we were friends before or we have to friends after" she wanted to get her point across with that statement.
How could anyone allow this monster to walk around? I wish I could detect them and send them to the police in the first place. young girls are so innocent and vulnerable to evil.
This guy was disgusting, straight up. I can't believe he put those girls through that crap. I am glad he is not able to hurt these young women anymore, OMG!!! (sad face)
I can't get over the fact that Michele was pregnant by him 5 times and he caused her to violently miscarry each time. What a sick human being. On top of that she can't have children. I'm speechless.....

That wasn't miscarriage. That was abortion! He killed them!
Rot in hell Ariel !!!
We got technology now. She could find a surrogate to help out. I think I watched a interview where she said she might be looking to adopt someday.
Gina to this day still has an adolescent demeanor with the way she speaks. You can easily tell she was robbed of her innocence.

Yea trauma does that...
MooShoo I cry everytime she talks cause she’s still so innocent 🥺
Definitely
Tbh I think they all suffer mental deficiencies. Their young brains were deprived of information being locked away so long.
he really tried to destroy Michelle, but she never stopped fighting him...that's some kind of strength!
I love her and I hate how she is portrayed as mentally disabled. She's absolutely not. She is a well spoken, smart woman. I am so sorry she endured abuse her entire life!
But the guts it took for Amanda to free herself her daughter Gina and Michelle takes huge courage.
It broke my heart when Gina answered, "I'm not comfortable." You can tell her parents taught her good manors. She was very respectful when she answered the question. She even gave a timid smile. Her innocence was robbed from her....absolutely heartbreaking.
I just want to give her the biggest hug :(
You can tell that poor Gina was not comfortable doing any interviews. I would have felt the same way
It’s more a nervous smile.
I hope Michelle knows she’s loved and people care about her. she had such a rough life and to then have *this* happen to her... I can’t even imagine.
😢

Thank the Lord these three women were found. The strength they have after all they have went thru is truly inspiring.

When she said she was asleep and he jumped on her stomach, that broke my heart.
The sheer strength of these women, they had zero choice and zero say. They are amazing and deserve nothing but good things for eternity
I feel so bad for Michelle 🥺
PawsToTheWall Same🥺
She is so pretty and seems so shy, humble and sweet. Glad that the ordeal didn't make her mean and bitter. She IS a true hero.
Right some people become aggressive but not her

They went to school together. They weren’t good friends just acquaintances

The risk was... that he'd come home while she was trying to escape or that he was hiding somewhere and would punish her for trying. You obviously have not really followed this story.
Michelle Knight is a beautiful spirit. She had the holy spirit with her the whole time& confidence and strength. However she's been on a lot of TV shows and I pray that she has not sold out to the system because the system has been the one to say they care like dr.phil. I pray for her soul to be preserved and not fall into the materialism of this world many people who end up on TV after such a horrific thing are offered lots of money for their soul. Those that understand know what I'm talkin about.
I can't imagine how his daughter feels knowing that he used her ass bait to catch these girls
As
I dont care about what anybody says but there are the strongest people to ever live
Prayers for nothing but the best life for you Michelle
I Love You Too The Moon & Back Gina !
Yes we need to show our support for these 3 ladies.
Broken Silence Yes ,We Surely Do .
What pisses me off is that she knew this person personally, That was her father's friend, Cuz she would have never got in the car with the dude if he wasnt familiar...
Any kid could fall prey to these kinds of monsters. We should retrain our children. To trust no one and get in nobody's car.Even if the person is someone you know or a parent of someone you know. Don't get in their car. Trust no one!
It's usually the person you wouldn't suspect.
Mckay Fam right! a passing acquaintance is just as dangerous (probably more so) then a total stranger when it comes to kids. They know them just enough that they might be able to gain there trust if they are charming enough but not enough to be questioned if the kid goes missing :(
Michelle (Lee,) whether u ever read this. We all love u sweetie. God blessed u with inner strength.
I feel so bad Michelle knight saw that there was no search effort for her on the tv...
Wtf where is part 6? It just ends 😫 such torture!!!
And ariels daughter didn't think it was strange that 3 girls she had been friends with disappeared???
If you going to take a ride from someone you don't know, be sure to take a photo of their face before you get in the ride, and get their "name" and send both the name of the person and the PHOTO especially the photo to someone you can trust like a family member incase you go missing or much worse. In this case, they thought they could trust him since they knew his daughters, and figured he's a nice guy, and nothing could go wrong, so I can understand why they got in the ride with him, but in general, you should never take a ride from a stranger ever, even if they look nice, and you should always take a photo of their face before climbing in and get their name if possible. I feel every school from elementary to high school should educate this to students at some point, especially parents.
Good idea. I don't think any of these girls had cell phones at the time though.
Just don't!!!
0:10 Gina favors her cousin, they would pass for mother & daughter
I cry out for these women bcuz while I experienced some heartbreak in my teen yrs. Was absolutely nothing compared to the Hell they went through. And my God for a whole decade. God bless them..
Watching Michelle talk makes me nervous.
Nice work
Gayle
u can tell gina is still kinda talks like she's 14 🙁
I can't blame her tho she was kidnapped at age 14 and was locked up for 9 years, she never got a chance to be a teen so no wonder why she still acts like and sees the world of a teenage girl.
@@estrellaashleywilliams4061 Exactly! It's so sad she was so young 😞
@@ang930 Yeah 😢
Not the sharpest l'il gal.
Folks should take this story into consideration that all family members can’t be trusted 😐 like seriously. You have people looking normal doing crazy crap everyday.
aw liked selena 💙. glad their all okay and safe!
This is so weird. The first girl knew Castro, the second girl knew Castro, the third girl knew Castro and was with his daughter....chile-
That's why it was easy for him.
They had no reason not to trust him because of his daughter
Ariel Castro was also friends with Gina's father
What’s even weirder to me is that some of his kids the eldest daughter and his son knew he was abusive to their mother, but they acted like he was this great silly dad..??
It seems like he was stalking his daughters friends. He was following Gina and his daughter to be able to get her so quickly.
So many children need a home maybe Michele will adopt one day she would make a amazing mom
Damn Michelle I'm so fucking sorry ... YOU DESERVE THE WORLD ❤️😭 my heart is so broken for u I hate him ugh
the clip of arline is so scary because she had no idea at that time that her dad was the one that kidnapped her
WTF are some of these questions? This woman always wants people to give the details of their abuse, it's so creepy.
Poor girls 😢
5:04 May seventh 2003 was the day i was born, it is crazy that this was going on at the same time...
All 3 girls were brutalized , however there’s no doubt in my mind Michelle was treated the worst
Jessica Ponticello the other two knew that they had to be nice to him in order to get better treatment
@@juliaarnold1078 Yes Amanda and Gina had a different strategy for dealing with Castro than Michelle. This is not to say Michelle's way was wrong but simply that they each had different ways of dealing with him.
Michelle was like an older Sister to Amanda and Gina. The strongest person ever. 😢😢 I can't even imagine how she would've been through all that.
What gets me is how they both treated her after they were freed. I can understand why they chose to go their separate ways, being around each other probably feels awkward to them. They could have been a little bit nicer toward Michelle especially Amanda. No offense but I thought Amanda was a half bitch. I watched the full documentary before it removed off of Hulu, I thought Amanda was really arrogant. Her answer to Robin Roberts' question regarding Michelle was very rude & disrespectful. She said " We were in this together because of he did but that don't mean we were friends before or we have to friends after" she wanted to get her point across with that statement.
Well Michelle did make Lies about Amanda so I can understand why
my heart still breaks for all them
How could anyone allow this monster to walk around? I wish I could detect them and send them to the police in the first place. young girls are so innocent and vulnerable to evil.
This guy was disgusting, straight up. I can't believe he put those girls through that crap. I am glad he is not able to hurt these young women anymore, OMG!!! (sad face)
