she was taken from her parent, locked up in a tiny place, not allowed to go outside, not allowed friends, not allowed to go to School and she was abused. does that not sound like kidnapping you People?

[kklakshmi]

Am I the only one who wanted to see the daughter's reaction seeing her father ??

[emmablake]

I hope she recovers from the trauma she has experienced and that she and her father can rebuild what was stolen from them.

I wonder how the reunion went. This story is now 6 years old. She’d be 23 now.

Choosing whom you marry or even have a child with is the biggest decision you'll ever make.
Choose wisely.

12 years is a long time bro. This dad is truly dedicated to his daughter

[PyroGothNerd]

I don't know why this was recommended 6 years later, but there's a lesson to be learned: Never give up hope.

[Michellemutts]

So sad he missed out on all those years and even though she is back, he has lost his little girl forever. No parent should ever keep the children away from the other unless there is a danger to the children.

My mother kidnapped my brother (3 years old) and me (8 years old) in 1969, took us around South America and we finally settled in Argentina. My brother and I finally found my dad in April 1991 and moved back that same year. Our reunion was emotional for everyone! All those years he did not know if we were dead or alive.

[shannon]

Did she know she was kidnapped ? Or like did she just think her mum was normal since she grew up with the abuse/craziness?

[crackerblackson]

Imagine being a parent, living that nightmare, not knowing if you'll ever see your baby again, then receiving that phone call after 12 long years.
Never give up hope.
Never!

Thanks to the police that didn't give up and make the reunion possible.

[berenicevaldez]

Let’s appreciate the Mexican police for being able to reunite these two

[stephaniehowe]

He is a Good man.
" I will ask her if I can give her a hug"
Mad respect

[shellesbby]

She's a spitting image of her father. Hopefully with a lot of therapy and genuine love, she overcomes the trauma she endured.

[cathyyarbrough]

So happy for the reunion of your baby girl !!! Praying for a full recovery !!

[samuraioj]

The mother ruined her daughter's life.

[abegailaclado]

her mother was crazy, stolen sabrina's childhood, she didn't even send the girl to school..

[ompaloompa]

All the torment that this poor man suffered for years, and the poor girl.. God bless them both..the Lord brought her home 🙏✝️

[Cuppacuriositypodcast]

She won’t even know him. It’s really sad that these things go on. Brilliant father for not giving up. Amazing.
