  • “If anyone can survive him, it’s her”
    August 10th 2000 is a big day for 8 year old Midsi Sanchez as it’s her birthday party that afternoon, so she decides to walk home alone instead of waiting for her siblings like usual. Only one block away from her house, a man gets out of his car nearby and asks her to help him pick up something, and as she reaches down, the little girl suddenly vanishes from Vallejo. 3 days go by, until Midsi gathers her strength to escape one of California’s most dangerous serial killers.

    I really don't understand why the children at her school would be so cruel about a child surviving a horrible abuse. It's strange as it sounds like the school didn't do much to help.

      That’s very true. My mom was repeatedly abused and molested by her father for 10 years since she was 3 and her father has been free for years. He was already convicted of one molestation when my mom reported him to police, yet he barely got any time. I can’t imagine how many other victims he’s hurt over the years; it could be many. And worst of all, her family took his side. Her mother knew about it and did practically nothing. Her sister shunned her and has no contact to this day, because she doesn’t want her bubble to be burst, she wants to keep believing he’s a good person; and even takes her kids to see him often. It’s disgusting.

    • @BloodNote
      @BloodNote Год назад +31

      It's not always the parents. People forget that kids are their own people and can be little shits even with wonderful parents. I was bullied by a boy for THREE YEARS before his mother ever found out because the school NEVER called her despite them telling my grandmother they had. The bullying escalated where he threw Windex into my face. So my grandmother finally found his mothers number and we met up with his mother and told her EVERYTHING. The shock and sadness on her face was real that she didn't know. After that he never bothered me again and she would even called and check in to make sure.

    I never understand why, when a kidnapped child is found alive and returned, that people think it's okay to immediately hold them up in front of a huge swarm of people and parade them all over tv. They just went through a traumatic experience. Those children need protection and anonymity, not to become the poster child for returned children. Yes every wants to know theyre safe and well, but they dont need to become a media circus for that to happen.

      Gotta understand that was just a quick rendition of the story and could've also happened very fast but time slows in fight or flight situations. Sounds like she was going perpendicular towards the street and the drivers proly weren't seeing a guy chasing her as he was way behind and their eyes are on the road, and for all we know people did end up stopping down the way once they got a passing glance of the situation.. She may not of been paying attention to them stopping once she hopped into the the guys truck.. For all we know traffic WAS slowing down for her, which finally gave her the urge to finally jump out. lots was proly going on for a child's mind to remember the whole picture and all she remembers is panic/fear - and I need to stop one of these cars and get in asap. I doubt most people aren't going to choose not to save a child, so I wouldn't be to negatively critical of the drivers.
      The party was a bad idea for sure, unfortunately the parents/family weren't thinking right. Sad

The trauma was profound and unfortunately is lifelong. I can only empathize and pray for her and her family.

The amount of rage I have towards that man is incomprehensible, but I know it likely pales in comparison to that which people like Midsi have who endured _so much more_ than I did.
