Child Abduction In America
May 15, 2013 in Infographics by Ashley Welter
In the wake of the horrifying events of the Cleveland abduction case, the issue of abduction has taken center stage in the United States. Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight went missing on three separate occasions over a decade ago.
Missing persons information and photos circulated the town and were featured on national news, but there was little hope of finding the missing girls.
Eventually, the hope of ever finding Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, or Michelle Knight alive began to wane, and many presumed them to be dead. No one could have possibly imagined that all three girls were ALIVE and had been held as prisoners in the home of Ariel Castro. As details of their captivity surfaced, it was discovered that Castro had abducted each of the girls separately and kept them in his home for over 10 YEARS, and nobody suspected a thing! Even his next door neighbors were shocked to discover Castro’s dark and twisted secret.
These events have raised many questions because some details just don’t make sense. How could these girls be held for 10 years without anyone knowing? How did the neighbors not suspect anything? How did Castro lure them into his home? These events have made people realize the severity of this issue. Abduction in America occurs more frequently than people realize, and there’s not always a happy ending.
