Kidnapped Victim found after 10 Years

http://www.cnn.com/2014/05/21/us/california-kidnap-victim-found/index.html?hpt=ju_c1 A 25 year old women was found in Santa Anna after being reported missing almost 10 years ago. The girl disappeared at age 15 with her mothers live-in boyfriend. He locked the girl in the closet, gave her a fake ID and told her that her parents had given up on finding her. In August he kidnapped the mom as well and made them work at night cleaning service and would move around to stay off of the police radar. Even after a couple chances to escape the girl had suffered so much absuse physically and mentally that she didn't even attempt to. In 2007 the kidnapper, Garcia and the girl got married and had a baby in 2012, the case was brought to attention again after the girl contacted her sister via facebook. Garcia is now being charged. How it relates to APGOPO This article relates to apgopo becuase it talks about him being charged which hasd to do with justice and how the media, being facebook helped saved the girls life. How I feel I feel as if its pathetic that it took 10 years to find her and she is probably so mentally damaged and will never move on from this

Parents also said that he dancing was too provactitive and made the boys think bad thoughts. The author of the article compared this to saying rape victims asked fror it by dressing inappropiatly. The girl, Clare, then made a blof talking about the events the night and posting pictures of her dress, bringing attention to the media. How the article relates to Mrs. Ashley's class The article relates to ApGoPo becuase we learned about the media and how they exaggerate and blow up stories, plus its prom time so its fun to talk about How I feel I feel like kicking her out was completley unneccasry, it's prom, go to any prom majority of people will be dancing provacitivly and will be wearing revealing dresses, let her enjoy her prom!
