Since GRM is the sole news source for many...
Abducted at the age of 14. Escaped from the house she was held captive in for the past 10 years. Seems to have left with a 5-9yr old kid in tow.
She was not the only girl in the house, 2 others, also abducted. Registered to the house are 3 brothers, ages 50, 52, 54. All three men arrested. One is a Cleveland School bus driver!!
She was less than 5 miles away from where she was abducted.

Unbelievable. Assuming they're found guilty, all 3 of these brothers should get castrated and turned loose in the worst of the worst federal pen.

I heard on the radio this morning that the one who got out did so with the assistance of a neighbor who she convinced to kick in the lower part of the door

Interview with the neighbour is on Youtube. He was saying that he has BBQ'd with the guy, that he has lived there a year and can't believe that the guy had 3 abducted women in the house.

glad and sad at the same time. Glad they have been found and returned to society and hopefully to loved ones... really sad that they spent so much time the captives of real madmen

As I was posting this up, I too was conflicted with the issues of bringing this vile info to some of your otherwise peaceful days.
Agreed, the joy of finding them; the horror of them having to go through it

+1
And in general population.

No, I'm against physical punishment by the state, but I wouldn't shed a tear if the other inmates did the castration without anasthetic, say a couple of bricks in the rec yard.
Dammit, it's like you can't even keep a few sex slaves anymore without it turning into a huge hassle.

Not to make light of the situation, but have you guys heard the interview with the neighbor? Absolutely hilarious. "I knew somethin was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man's arms"
at least it was not in florida
If you haven't seen the interview with the guy that rescued them, you must. He's a trip: http://deadspin.com/all-the-best-quotes-from-the-american-hero-who-rescued-493599102
Police arrested Castro at a nearby McDonald's restaurant and brought the other two women out of the house, witnesses said.
Wow. McD's is quite popular over there. Thank god he wasn't smart enough to go to ground anywhere else.

He just had to get one last big mac
The neighbor looks like Al Sharpton's brother.
The suspected abductor here is Ariel Castro. His own daughter was a classmate and friend of one of the girls. The daughter claimed in 2004 to be the last person to see girl alive.

In 2008, this daughter was sentenced to 25 yrs of prison for slashing the throat of her then 11 month old own daughter??????

They seem like a nice, well adjusted bunch. I have a feeling this story has some forthcoming details that will be uncomfortable to hear.

After my cousin stabbed his father he went up the block to Dunkin Donuts for a Coffee.
From 2005 till 2011 I did a lot of business in that general area. I would guess that I have driven past or near that side street hundreds of times (never actually down that side street.) There is a very large Puerto Rican community in that corner of Cleveland and we did business with a lot of them. I would not have known them personally but would have certainly known people who knew people.
Yes, strange and uncomfortable with more to come.
It is a rough part of town but this is not the type of stuff I would have thought to have feared from here. The junkies a 1/4 miles down the road at the plasma clinic were the more visible threat.
Also, against the stereo-type, the crazy abductors are usually white guys but I guess crazy knows no nationality.
