"by the time she came back down from being that high she had 3 kids by 4 different baby daddies."
Typical suspects
The fact that she's here to tell her story is a miracle in itself.
She’s not telling her story. The parents are. This is what she’s feeding to her parents. I don’t think this girl was being honest about what happened.
Why so? @@fendigabrielle
That sounds like a bias possibly prejudicial ignorant Statement that none of you could possibly know. I'm sure it could be the way she said, close to what she said or just lying completely and why is it a miracle?? Traffickers earn by trafficking not killing. If someone is murdered it's either a John or an investigation coming down. Maybe she met one man willingly then lead to the rest. One thing for sure she didn't deserve it if there's any force or fear!!!
@@patrickstotler1201 begging for it mate!!
@@eddiebingbong7977yes she did. And makes me wonder if she may have even planned it and didn’t know how to explain she went to have fun. Police don’t say or think run away for no reason, clearly she’s know to the police. These parents making it out like police just didn’t want to look. Narrr not buying this story. And no one even asked the mother or father why is your 15 year old doing drugs. How long. Do you even have any control. These are the women that grow up and have the level of entitlement that the world is just bloody sick off. And she literally ran away before. Makes me wonder what the mother and father have done to her.
That man is free to walk around....just remember that.
Because she left willingly with him , she asked him if he had weed , and that she wanted to leave and smoke with him
She was pressing an old dude for weed remember that…. She new the dangers and if she didn’t she’s dmb af
Disgusting
@@CAC6363says the person who doesn’t know the difference between new and knew.
Dallas Grand jury decided to release the guy the dealer? Wonder why was he released? 🤔🤔🤔 That guy is a danger to society if you kidnapped and take her to another State.
8 people arrested in connection with trafficking this young girl and 6 out of the 8 were WOMEN!!
Equality
Believe all women. Lol
I bet they were controlled too. They were most likely prostitutes with addictions. 😢 💔.
Epsteins enabler: woman. Diddys alleged enabler: woman. It doesn't surprise me, and it's getting less surprising with the number of women featured on this very channel who have been assaulting their students
You didn’t watch the movie ‘the sound of freedom’?
Police not taking a minor disappearance seriously cause they’re labeled a runaway is unacceptable.
Absolutely! I thought LE had moved beyond that ignorant viewpoint.
@@brendatomlinson Many departments get a cut of the money from drug and human trafficking.
Yeah, I don't know about the police officer ethics code but they shouldn't have bias.
@@InfiniteBoxworks You’re probably right but that’s so disgusting.
It's not that they didn't take it seriously. They have to prioritize calls for service. Believe it or not, PD's have a lot more going on than locating teens who ditch their parents to find drugs. There are murd3r$, infant abductions, domestic violence calls, severe auto accidents, acts of arson....all much more pressing than being the deputized nanny for aloof parents.
Those 8 traffickers look like something out of "the hills have eyes"
Accurate!
So true. They all look like they have demons in them
So diverse though
That sounds scary, I’ll have to search for it
Most were women. Sad
Pretty sure there are many hotel chains that ignore the apparent trafficking
Facts
As someone who was trafficked- they do.
Call them what they are, foreign owned…
@@jthartman9639 Yeah, they do anything for money.
Diddy and Cassie video case in point.
I have so much respect for these two parents for speaking up, getting these criminals arrested, and not giving up on getting their child back. All the best wishes and lots of love to Natalie❤️
Yea..They still minimized stuff and pulled more focus on them. It's clear they're dysfunctional but hopefully they ALL grow from this. That poor girl 💔 she needs understanding and support rn, not to be brushed off as "typical 18 yr old" w.e.(paraphrasing)
nothing she's experiencing RN is "normal"
Oh my, that picture of her at the beginning after they found her is something else. She looks 15 years older
@mkxv that's the picture of her frowning in the back seat with the aqua blue 💙🔵💙🔵💙🔵💙🔵 shirt on right
she looks like shes been on something , look at her skin 😢
Not really
@@twinbutterfyeyeah that's not pot. That's meth.
@@LilyFlowers-hh3sc i know it’s methed up, shes trynna blame the pot !
Every father’s worst nightmare. This is sickening.
2:32 everyone booked looks 15 years older. demon faces
A mother’s worse nightmare!
EVERYONE’S worst nightmare
Every woman’s nightmare to be subjected to this kind of abuse.
Not every father lol
Why would you go with a stranger to smoke? I remember two of my girl friends did this when we were younger and they came back saying they felt the creepiest vibe and the guy changed all the sudden. Teach your daughters guys, its dangerous everywhere.
She was fifteen and had been rebellious in the past. Unfortunately she had to learn the hard way.
Because you're a minor who doesn't fully appreciate the gravity of risky behavior. She's the VICTIM here.
dad probably wasnt active in her life. my pops always told us never to speak with strangers and always keep your guard up. kids are too sheltered and too trusting
@@CIONAODMcGRATHSTRANGER DANGER! We’ve known this since kindergarten
Teach your BOYS to keep their hands off girl!!! 🤬
So thankful you got your baby home. 🙏🏼 Praying for complete healing for all she went through. 🙏🏼
The whole story is not being told. I believe the daughter found a guy online to meet up with an used the event to sneak away from her dad and she ended up with more than she bargained for.
That sounds absolutely plausible. Especially after I saw the guy she left with wasn’t charged how the parents wanted. I knew something was up
You are right it is an epidemic, just miles from there home in North Richland Hills, Texas another trafficking ring was arrested, but not the ring itself just the “John’s”, the hotels off north Beach and 820 , with the biggest the Hilton have been hosting trafficking and prostitution for years, the police are on the take.
Just like any business, they have to facilitate marketing, accounting, a physical market place. This is only possible with the help of law enforcement, lawyers, businessmen/buisnesswomen. Yet the authorities act as though they are clueless, and protect these sick criminals while trampling on our civil liberties. Only a group of Citizens were able to bring her back , don’t forget that.
I have the same feeling. Marijuana doesn't make you "forget" anything, found that bit weird lol
This makes more sense, cause risking it all for weed and then claiming that weed kept you in such a fog that you could remember nothing for days just does not make sense. It sounds more like she’s actually never smoked before.
This is leaving off information. She didn't just meet this person at the game, she had been in communication w/him prior.
It all makes sense because a 15year old is old enough to know you shouldn’t just go with a stranger to there car for drugs because that literally is a kid and a candy van.
My opinion I think she knew him but he tricked her into believing it was “a normal conversation”
@@TheAstrofromspacego away. You're a sicko. 🤬🤢
@@martorres4487 her having been in contact with him prior, probably is part of the reason he got off. (Granted HE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN RELEASED!). Though he may have lied that he didn't SE her, but showed text messages from her etc etc, probably told LE that they were going to meet up with people in parking garage, and since he didn't leave with the demons for Oklahoma, etc etc,
Either way she was still trafficked 😢
This makes more sense actually
It saddens me that law enforcement sometimes disregards a runaway teen when they are the most vulnerable.
There are simply too many. And they just run away again.
kids like that probably don't want help anyway. they probably think that they know everything and their parents are just lame.
@@scallopohare9431 this girl will be back out in the streets again it seems to be what she wants for her life
The hotel KNEW!
Yup. I'm annoyed the hotel chain wasn't named.
Extended stay America in OKC. I was in in Oklahoma City hotel one night and had a strange man come up to me and start talking to me - trying to get me away from the entrance. Valet did nothing, I had to call my partner to come walk me back into the hotel bc I was so scared. This was at one of the hotels in bricktown.
They just want to fill their vacant rooms. I'd bet there are thousands of people being trafficked at Extended Stays nationwide.
Facts
@@pcbusby thats crazy. how were they getting you to move away from the entrance? just curious what to look for with their M.O.
Absolutely poor decision making from the very beginning.
Children are known for bad judgment
Children are naive and make mistakes. You defending the person who attacked her by blaming her poor decisions is disgusting and says a lot about you.
How is he "defending" the perpetrator? He's stating the obvious! She should have kept her behind seated next to her father!! End of story!
Children are expected to be naive and innocent. Our society is evil for supporting abusers more than their broken victims who get attacked more by ignorant and arrogant people like you.
@@Judgmental_Cat 15 is not a child. You literally start to grow tf up sooner hopefully.
this is why hardened criminals should remain in jail
Or….dont go asking random people for drugs 😂
@@MeBihhhhor…don’t let these people back out?
@@LarryBeenFishin nope, I pay enough in taxes as it is. this literally would have never happened to her if she wasn’t wondering around for drugs. If you can’t comprehend how dangerous that is then I don’t have any hope for you
@@MeBihhhhshe was groomed and targeted online. She is a child. Just because she is female doesn't mean she makes decisions like an adult woman who is used to a dangerous world.
@@donut_life12 literally nobody said anything about her being a female 😂 I 100% blame the parents. let’s be clear, she was a rebellious kid with crap parents and had a history of running away. This grooming mess is just trying to take the blame off the parents
She's old enough to know about stranger danger. If I had pulled a stunt like that, my mama would have beat me beyond next week!
Thank your mama 🙏🏼❤️
She was groomed. Thought he was a friend. She is a child 🙄
not a stranger to theses kids theses days that talk and meet up from apps
Stop it.
why would u just go around looking for weed from sum random strangers knowing drugs r laced and very dangerous now
Because she was FIFTEEN!!
@@PeaceBeeWithYou I'm tired of you people acting like at 15 years old their brains are completely turned off and have 0 awareness of what they're doing. Everybody knows what they're doing when they're 15, there's no automatic switch that goes off and you start becoming conscious at the very second you hit 18. Get out of here.
@@PeaceBeeWithYou15 is not a newborn baby.
@@Joe-bs6hdthese same people would want a 15 year old in prison for committing a terrible crime.
She’s a kid 🤦♀️ Kids don’t think!
Praying for her health and healing 🙏🏾
It’s important to mention that she LEFT with him. She wasn’t abducted against her will. She was seeking drugs and using them in secret. Still awful what happened to her but this is important to distinguish. No one in their right mind meets a stranger at a game and leaves with them to “smoke”.
Especially a greaser with neck tattoos.
You are right. I hope she continues to heal, but also to reflect on her decisions
It's also important to mention she was 15. Just because she did something wrong does not mean the adults involved should not be in jail.
@@INatalkaIthat is not what anyone here is saying. I wasn't going off with strangers at 15.
^this
That's ridiculous there's been people attacking her or asking why a 15 year old went to the bathroom alone... give me a break. Prayers she keeps healing
I could’ve swore the video says she went to look for weed?
Not going to bathroom alone,why she wanted to smoke weed with an adult.
@@fredmugo1596 people were saying he shouldn't let a 15 year old go to the bathroom alone.... I believe that should be old enough. Now obviously going to smoke was a mistake that by the look of her face that was sent to her mom she wishes she never did..
@@dredman-p6q she said she went to the bathroom and looked for someone to smoke with I mean, I wasn't there to wipe her butt to know for sure if she did use the toilet, but I'm sure she regrets trying to find someone to smoke weed with. But my point is being 15. Going to a bathroom alone, should not be an issue. People should not be telling this man. That shame on you for letting your daughter go to the bathroom. Without you, tag him along.
@@fredmugo1596she thought she was grown.
Wow, I’m shocked by so many comment, she’s a 15yr old child, yes she made a childish mistake going for a spliff with someone she didn’t know! You all must of been perfect at 15!! And must still be perfect the way some of you are talking? Should society be in a place where we don’t take advantage of someone that’s vulnerable like a CHILD! I hope no. If you have to deal with anything like this
Yes! A lot of these people should be ashamed of themselves. I bet those are the ones that are “pro-life” too.
@@cheesehead4670bro, do not make this political.
@@INatalkaI Hit a nerve or what?
@@cheesehead4670wtf does pro life have to do with this? Lmao. What low IQ take
For real, people are STILL failing this child, at least in this comment section.
This is the second major danger with clandestine drug use. It puts you in contact with the worst people on the planet.
The war on drugs makes people who want or need to do a drug meet shady people and possibly unknowingly recieve potentially deadly doses and poisinous ingredients in the drugs, not to mention increases cartels and causes people who get caught with any go to prison, often for most of their lives.
That's why alcohol prohibition was ended.
Human trafficking is so common at airports and malls
Geez, I think I’ll follow this sketchy stranger with a neck tattoo into a parking garage to get some drugs, what could possibly go wrong?
Right.
They probably talked online first and set it up to meet at the game
She is still a child. Her brain isn’t developed. Let’s not blame the victim, but the adults who take advantage of these kids.
Read the whole story. They are leaving out crucial evidence probably for the comments drawing more people to the video.
That Extended Stay America hotel played a part in everything. Unfortunately the ESA hotel chain has a 2021 Trip Advisor review that describes a similar incident (Pensacola, Florida)
Thank you for sharing the name of the chain. I will avoid it in the future.
Similar allegations in central (more specifically Sanford, Florida)
Those hotels have really gone down hill.
Those hotels are awful and they hire awful staff.
Scary!
Wow. That is a snapshot of some unattractive, demon possessed creeps in that arrest photo. I feel sorry for anyone who actually knows any of these disgusting humans.
The actual demon is the DA that let him walk free and the others. Those are the demons. The demons are the Soros types who have implanted these other demons. The real demons are the W0k3 Democrats who have all been compromised. How could you possibly let this dude walk free
I’m confused about her looking for random men to smoke with.
I’m thinking she met the guy online and met up with him at the AA Center. There is more to this story.
Facts
Yeah I read another comment that said she knew him.
“Dad, I want to start with you” Mom- “I just want to jump in here…” lol
No teenager tells her dad she’s using the bathroom and then just runs away. What reasonable human would think that.
But she literally did lie to her father. She was not leaving to go to the bathroom; she was going to find strangers to smoke with.
All teenagers lie. You must be the most naive helicopter woke liberal parent, she choose to run away and party.
That hotel is less than 20 minutes away from where I live. That's so scary and sad. I can't believe some of you are blaming the underage girl for trying to meet someone and getting caught up in a traumatizing and terrible situation is disgusting. I've been this girl, talking to people online and thankfully I never met any of them. You should never blame the victim, especially when an adult/ underage realtionship is involved.
Many many ghetto hotels like this in okc, and the owners ignore all the crime...bad for people who are just passing threw..another bad hotel by whitewater
The people defending him are people LIKE him. They defend and protect their own.
Disgusting predators have no shame on the Internet because they feel safe behind the screens but none of them would say what they've said about her out loud. She was just a naive child that probably developed an addiction through peer pressure
@@Judgmental_Cat nobody defended any of the traffickers. They just state how dmb she is for following a stranger to his car. Stranger danger is one if the first life lessons. Why are you being so naive? You are one dmb cnt
Omg this is so scary!! I tell my babies sadly NO BODY IS SAFE😩💔💯 I’m so glad she is okay and safe!!! ❤
She left willingly to get high and “have fun”
This was easily preventable wdym?…. Your babies get faded with old strange dudes?
@@CAC6363you obv don’t know what your talking about 🤣
@@TerryNiebrugge so tell me…..
@@CAC6363 not your business to know she has news report go look at them yourself lmao
That teen got the ultimate lesson about looking for drugs and running away. Don't sue everyone and blame the police for your failure to parent, and your teen being a rebellious runaway. What did she expect? She was looking for trouble and she found it. She's lucky she didn't end up dead.
I doubt she was looking for grooming online, and then sold and graped. Stop blaming children and blame the men that grape little girls.
How did she start doing drugs? She learnt it from somewhere?
Peers. Millions of "addicts" have parents who never did drugs.
@@rainwhenidie6666weak character
I smoked pot, none of my parents smoke. One has horrible horrible asthma and never smoked.
Every teen knows about drugs and there isn’t a school that doesn’t have them.
Her friends duhhh!!!!
I hate to say it but she put herself in harm’s way. She was known to runaway. I believe she set all this up before hand, but things got out of hand. She’s still trying to cover herself & not look bad by the parents. The girl is not being honest.
I believe she had a more serious addiction of some kind and was willing to walk away with a rough looking dude for it...I'm sure she didn't know the extent of what was going to happen to her, but I don't see this happening because she just wanted to "vape"
Some one commented saying she communicated with him prior which I believe because she’s old enough to know better to know things like this happens
I think he lured her by thinking he was a normal friend and she was looking for a smoke and he took advantage it’s not her fault but her actions have consequences and sadly the world doesn’t go easy on you
Always a conspiracy
I bet you’re “pro-life” huh? 🙄
That's kind of how I felt too.
I'm glad she returned home safely
Well.. almost…
That ...gina....it ain't safe it's loose loose
she's pregnant to !
She’s back in the streets looking for strange dudes to smoke pot ok bye
I'm sorry for what happened to that child but here are some truths from a parent and SA survivor. It's not the police's job to protect your children. It's yours. Never in a million years would I let my kid go off in a public place by themselves. I wish her and her family all the best.
I’m sure this will offend most people but don’t people see how accountability is nonexistent anymore? Not to victim blame here, she is a child, and the man is a monster. But 25 years ago this was a troubled kid whose parents couldn’t control. I think some parents are quick to say trafficking because it takes away their responsibility in what happens. Not only does this not help the victim/child, but it takes away from the trafficking that is going on. Used too loosely and too broad a term. Let’s start calling it what it is.
This story stinks and doesn’t ring true this girl knew this guy beforehand!!! She did walk off, was doing drugs and did walk off with her free will. I don’t care how you shake this case up she was part of it all. Yes it got out of hand and she did get trafficked but she herself put herself in this position. Parents are washing this with bubbles like the daughter is so innocent.
The moms smirk throughout this whole show is so unnerving. If your daughter really went through what youre claiming, she's out of touch with reality
Not entirely true with therapy she’s got it lol
That’s why she’s able to tell her story?
Ever been nervous?
The smirk is from the lawsuit she’s about to have a cushion with
@@MishaM9 they're about to get paid off that little delinquent. shame on them.
Sorry,but this girl was responsible for her own actions&that needs to be dealt with.😑She lied,was surrounding herself with strangers and/or questionable people,&had no reguard for herself or her parents.😔This story is incomplete.💯Sounds like she was a troubled teen who ran into reality.🤨She is very fortunate she made it out alive.💯The parents are acting like they are movie stars doing an interview with Barbara Walters.🙄Jesse always does a great job,though.👍
A little confused, was expecting her parents to be more sickened about what happened to her.
Right??
For starters, it's been years. Secondly, their child was trafficked. They're obviously incredibly thankful to have gotten her back. Why are you stirring up nonsense?
@@emloufoxbecause they’re miserable in their own lives so they just want to drag others down with them.
What does this even mean? Like crying, yelling wailing? U didn't see them whilst their daughter was missing how the heck do you know how "sickened" they were? Please sit down
It wasn't her first rodeo she was known to escape her parents custody multiple times to meet strange groups of men for days at a time
Something is off but i don't know what. I hate that I feel like that but I do.
Yep something I off with her mom all smiley
I love how the parents are suing everyone but take no accountability or responsibility for their troubled child. Everyone else was supposed to be better parents than them. I'm sorry this young woman went through this; she didn't deserve that, but there's a lot of missing information.
Yes, the parents seem nonchalant about the whole thing.
So the parents are blaming everyone but themselves. Must be how this girl got herself into this situation to begin with. Some people should never have children
Yes. I lost all respect for them when they wanted to sue the stadium 🤦🏻♀️

"Shes 15 shes going to make mistakes". Yeah when I was 15 my mistakes were missing homeworks and forgetting to do chores, and calling out of work because I wanted to play games. Smoking weed, and doing so with strangers, isn't a mistake. It's gross incompetence both from her and her parents.
Too much tiktok and too much brain rot content. I know 12 year olds who are smoking. I grew up in Jamaica where marijuana has been prevalent...yet none of me or my friends smoked at such a young age.
We moving into a new era where things like this will be so common. Weird society we live in now.
14 year old Jamaican here, I absolutely agree, she was out of control her parents should have done better, she should have known better. Yes, she was a victim, I do feel for her for that, but she needed serious help and discipline.
Parents don’t care about her. They’re just happy getting their 5 mins of fame and ready to spend expected settlement money already.
Why is Mom so smiley
After a child goes missing and comes back wont your demeanour change from the previous one
Poor girl but she’s alive and rescued. I hope she heals from everything
She left with a stranger to smoke. Because she was addicted. She had previously ran away several times.
The parents are blaming the arena, hotel, people at the hotel, and the airport . What about your daughter’s decision!
I don’t feel sorry.
The parents want the cops to drop everything and look for her daughter at the event , jeezus
@@lisad56 i guess you don't have kids. Yes, a person with kids would want to have the cops drop everything and look for their child.
@lisad56 you are saying that you don’t expect for cops to drop everything and search for a missing child?
No, sorry, safety is everyone's responsibility. I know this girl had problems but the hotel knowingly allowed numerous children to be trafficked at their hotel. Meaning they're in on this. Arrest, imprison, and deport.
I mean, you are right - the child was acting like an immature child. The predators took advantage of that. Surely you know children make poor decisions.
@@MarcheKAJ I think the implication here is the parents are taking zero accountability and blaming everyone else despite the fact that this wasn't just on the cops, the hotel, etc. The law enforcement and other workers ended up rescuing her and they still just poke blame instead of realizing the issues behind all of this.
This seems a little bit suspect.

Her father who she was with on the upper levels said this wasn’t the first time she had done this.
We interviewed the father that night at the MAVS game.
Reviewed footage of her claiming to go to the restroom to meet the first suspect then meeting another right outside in the courtyard.

@@Bennett9Aint0In3Ithe wasn't a random. Read the comments.
Lesson to be learned from this... Don't ever leave the safety of your dad's side to go looking for weed and or other illicit drugs.
This whole story is suspicious
"You don't know you're in danger until you're in the middle of it"..?!? ... NO Natalie - you should've known at 16yo NOT to go with strangers, NOT to try DRUGS/ NOT to VAPE, and NOT to LIE to your dad. Every poor choice lead to the expected outcome. Didn't go through much the first times she ran away, took her parents and home for granted - eventually had to learn the hard way.
Thankfully Natalie gets to live and talk about it. Parents still not holding her accountable for her poor choices and want to blame everyone but Natalie and her wilful poor choices. 13:40 "she was right there, sitting on the steps" - riiight, NOT going to cops asking to be reunited with her dad. Natalie's actions were calculated and sadly poorly thought-out. Can't blame anyone but Natalie and perhaps her parents.
Typical American parents living in La-La land. Parent need a license to repo create. Like you do for fishing, hunting, driving, diving etc…
Glad the girl is found safely but these parents brush over everything her daughter has done and blame everyone else. The fact that she was free to go but instead chose another random guy to get assaulted by. Like what do you mean you thought someone else would help her??? There’s a front desk… she’s at a hotel…. She doesn’t think the raid is related to her being missing???
She's not too bright. Let's be honest
@@littlet7556 Naive is a better word for it.
I'm hearing a lot of "the authorities could've done more..!!" from the parents.
Typical, when you dive deeper into these stories that (on face value) appear like an innocent, helpless child was "abducted", only to find out that the girl willingly took off with someone in hopes of scoring drugs.
She clearly doesn't respect her parent's authority and has a history of substance abuse and running away from home -- yet the world is supposed to stop because a couple of deadbeat parents dropped the ball AGAIN.
The main reason that police don't rush over in unison in these instances, is because the need to allocate resources accordingly. There IS a HUGE difference between a child abduction and a teenager who ditched her parents to score dope, and if the police have to prioritize the two, they're going to be attentive to a missing infant or a small kid taken from the park.
The girl knew very well what she was doing, and the gaslighting needs to stop. Quit overusing the "trafficking" song and dance. This is a case of a runaway drug user, not a "missing child".
Calm down skippy. A lot of parents have kids that smoke weed and have behavioral issues, that doeasnt mean they deserved their daughter to be kidnapped and r-ed for 3 years. Thats some psychopath vibes youre giving off there.
@@whiteobama3032 Who was kidnapped? Tell us who was charged with kidnapping her.
@@theredcatuprock there are 8 people charged with trafficing her. You have to be kidnapped firat to be trafficked you know. No idea what youre suggesting here but we're still talking about a 15 year old child.
@@whiteobama3032 She is seen willingly leaving with one guy.
Keep in mind that a mere suspicion of "trafficking" need only be the movement from one place to another.
It's going to be interesting to see what the cases of these 8 people will turn out like. Sorry, but a 15 year old is fully capable of not getting themselves into these situations. If charges need to be made for "trafficking", fine, let them all stand trial for it -- including the girl.
No grand jury indictment and charges were dismissed for the cases in Texas. Seems like there’s more to the story. Ultimately yes she was a victim , but the start of the road to her being trafficked seems odd.
VERY MUCH AGREED
That’s so disappointing that charges were dropped on the guy that first assaulted her!! Her testimony is evidence enough!
Testimony is not enough. What if someone testified you assaulted them?
We should be checking the way he groomed her online. I bet there is evidence as to how he works. These investigators need to get looking in her history
@@mmarialexx it’s your opinion that it’s not enough but that is evidence. It’s evidence that shouldn’t allowed the charges to be dropped. Whether he would be found guilty or not is up to the jury. And yes I’d trust a jury if I was wronged
I’m glad she was found. At her age she should have know better than to go off with a stranger. Lied about going to the bathroom to go smoke and walked into a nightmare. She also previously ran away. ..Lucky to be alive to share her story.
This woman is creepy. She seems to relish in the spotlight of all the attention the story is getting and doesn't seem concerned at all about the trauma her daughter suffered. She's smiling as though she's enjoying this whole circus.
Her daughters alive. Not everything has to be a pity party.
This is also years after the fact when they said they have been through a lot of healing and are not doing advocacy.
I must admit she keeps cutting of her Husband and taking over,
Very strange
Same she is smiling too much even at the worse details
Please do something about your volume. We have to turn it up to hear you, then when breaking away, volume BLASTS!!!
I watched this video twice in a row 'cause something about this story ain't right...
Like?
Convictedsex offenders need to remain locked up and the key thrown away. Why do they keep getting out and doing it again?
Because of democrats.
She went willingly is what it seems like.
Went willingly. Regretted her decision. Won't accept responsability.
It doesn't matter if she went willingly, she was 15, a child, she tried to escape and was exposed to more assult. I'm pretty sure she didn't willingly go to be trafficked
@@MAALA72 Really? It doesnt matter if she went willingly? Imagine if she said, no. Done. She walked out with a stranger. She put herself in that situation.
So WHY WAS WIFEY OUTTA TOWN 🤌🏼
The parent should sue themselves next
They've got a used up snow-bunny for a daughter now... I'm sure that's damage enough...
@ryshellso526 wow lol...what a disgusting comment..
@@ryshellso526you are disgusting for talking about a young women like that
EXACTLY,the mom smiling the whole interview.Ain’t nothing to smile about
@@ryshellso526wow, you need professional mental help.
The fact that she went to ask for help and that monster ended up doing the same evil things. 💔💔😢 It breaks my heart. It's saddening.
Addicted to marijuana? They gave her weed over the course of ten days? Like this story absolutely stinks
This family is blaming everyone but their out of control kid. We were all 15 once, and definitely knew better. Glad many of those sickos are in prison, but sometimes you've gotta protect YOURSELF.
Are you for real? She's 15. That's a freshman in HS. You were perfect? You never did anthing to try to look cool or feel accepted? Kids at this age don't understand the risks. Stop blaming the victim. Disgusting.
What a weird story
Because its fake. Their kid was a delinquent and ran away
I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like something is weird. I just made the same comment
@@EmperorOfMan Now you're saying its fake gfys
I feel like the daughter had a much bigger addiction of some kind they weren't aware of, I don't think she knew the extent of what was going to happen to her, but she seemed pretty confident walking out with that rough guy for something...
The reason this guy cant be charged is because Natalie wont testify. He was her pimp. She chose to go because she was an addict. Shes a Pro like it or not. She used the life to make money and fund her addiction. She said she left her dads side because she had a vape addiction but she was addicted to heavier substances.
Oh wow really?? That says alot about refusing to testify. Maybe it could be too emotional if she chose to testify
rot
I have to agree with you...I know people don't want to believe it, but I think she had a bigger addiction problem than they're saying, willing to walk off with weird dude for it
Kinda reminds me of Laura Palmer from twin peaks
shoutout to the private investigator!
She made a bad decision. Bad things happened. Stop lying to your parents and stop doing drugs. Bad guys should be jailed but she shouldn't be told that she's an innocent victim either.
She shouldn't have put herself in that situation over weed and weed doesn't make you lose the ability to scream help or fight back its not a tranquilizer
she looked like she's been smoking m2th when they found her
So glad she is safe
Jesse is always so kind to his guests
Addiction to marijuana ????????wtf no
Just goes to show that law enforcement isn’t there to prevent crime but to respond to it. It is up to us the people to protect ourselves.
Her statement said if she was able to leave she would have, yet the police found her alone, OUTSIDE, so why wasnt she leaving for help???
How do you know she wasn’t? lol
Stockholm Syndrome
This post is being made by Ted Bundys Ghost of course he's victim blaming
So he doesn't make sense?....@@kristenshearer3976
who knows, why are you dissecting what this victim has said in order to question her credibility? whats the point unless you generally dont like people coming forward with this
This comment section is appalling! The amount of people saying she deserved it because she walked away with a guy she had talked to online. So a child deserves to be repeatedly ra**ed for 10 days because she wanted to talk to what she thought was a boy?
I really hope y’all’s kids are all perfect angels.
Agree, the depravity in this comments section is scary
None of this makes sense ..she left voluntarily..she thought she was grown ..found out it wasnt what she wanted ...found her and crying foul..hide from parents and LE and now playn victim ..the situation isnt right at all but quite playn the relieved parents...you got a ton of work to do with your daughter ..she learned nothing ..just traumatized temporarily..has zero respect for you ..
now theese parents are trying to get rich off the whole thing
Fix your broken homes, so that kids wont turn to drugs and runaway.
She was on drugs, she wanted a fix.
Until you fix that, she will always fall victim to traffickers.
Anyway this story has too many holes.
BEST of every thing she is alive and with her mon and dad.
Nothing a little street justice wont fix with that guy that got away with it
This is why young ladies shouldn't run away from home. Because there may come a time when you've gone missing, and it will end up being dismissed as you running away yet again.
I'm glad they found her but she wasn't making smart decisions going off with a man that she didn't know. This makes no sense.
Them saying "normal 18 yr old stuff" implying some teenage attitude is SO GROSS!! Omg.. no wonder she ran away before. The lack of empathy and it all being about what they went through is insane. There is clear dysfunction there. There is nothing normal about that and it 100% affects you in everything. How you trust, communicate, interact. It affects conflict resolution and sleep, even eating habits. I don't understand as a parent how you would not be more empathetic/sympathetic than that..
Also unfortunately you have to go through a bunch of bs to get security footage and only the cops/managers of that business get to see it at first. You have to subpeona for the footage to be viewed by a "3rd party".
The PI is a hero. ❤ sending Natalie all of the love and mom hugs. Heal baby, you deserve to feel peace. We’re rooting for you!
Edit ✍️ around 29:00 I’m like 👀 something’s off with these two parents.
Pure evil.
Evil isn't pure
@@Elaine-br4lwthere are more than one meanings of pure. Words matter. So does reading comprehension.
@@LarryBeenFishin the Holy Bible says a wise person accepts correction, be wise❤️
Wow a lot of people in these comments show victim blaming and 0 compassion for addiction. Just because she was 15 w a drug problem doesn’t mean she deserves what happened to her or even make it her fault. No matter how smart we think we are or what we think we might do is a scary situation. You just don’t know until you are in that situation.
Made it to 16:54 with 12 ads… I thought YT had claimed that it was difficult to find advertisers for this subject matter….
🤔
That girl is scared for life, she will never be “ok” ever again
