“Was in college when I was tied up at gunpoint with my roommates.
Got beat up pretty good.”
It was the worst thing Ive ever experienced.

He drove to a secluded location where we talked for a while.
Then he drove to his place of work to get a shot gun to kill himself.
(His words.)
The police were there looking for him and shot a taser at him but missed.
He went to prison for four years and is out now.

This neighbor had a country home that he had rented to his friends.
One of his friends was also a pedophile.
The two of them had arranged that I would be taken up to the country house.
The friend picked me up on a Sunday morning and drove me there.
I was excited to go because I had heard so much about this country home.
I knock on a random door at a random house.
The person that answers the door is one of the elementary school teachers from my community.
Although I know of others who have been molested by the same neighbor, no one believes the story.
To this day the neighbors good name is protected.

My cousin was abducted by a group of men
Not my own abduction but my cousin was abducted.
She lives in Mexico.
They tied her up and placed a hood over her head.
They drove for a long time according to her.
She was taken to a barn and was left there.
Inside the barn were other young women tied up.
She would ask what was going on and where are they?
But the women wouldnt answer her.
She somehow got loose from her rope and started to look for an escape.
She found a window and saw that the sun was setting.
She broke the window with a chair.
She urged the other girls to come with but they were too scared to leave.
My cousin left them and she ran nonstop to the nearest town.
She stayed off the roads in case they were looking for her.
Luckily she found a phone in the town and called her family.
Shes safe now but she could never remember where the location of the barn was.
She still feels guilty about it all.

As they approached the car with sub machine guns and pistols we realized they were about to rob us.
They were threatening us the whole time saying if we made any noise they would kill us.
Ive never been more terrified.
When the truck finally stopped they told us to get out and to turn around.
I was sure we were about to be executed in the middle of nowhere.
Then they just drove off leaving us stranded.

He had taken me from my driveway at gunpoint towards his car before my father came out and intervened.

The shame that covered his face said a million things I never understood about my childhood.
Then he said, Yes, and Im still very sorry.'
It was Thanksgiving weekend.
A family from his church was selling their car but had gone out of town for the holiday.
They asked him to show the car to any potential buyers.
Ransom demands were made but refused.
My aunt and uncle are church missionaries and meeting ransom demands would put everyone in the field in danger.
Listening to him recount his experience is intense and awesome.
All of his kidnappers were killed during his rescue.

I was in another room watching a movie, then went to bed, still completely oblivious.
Ended up having to testify at the trial.

Its a long story, but here it goes.
The plan was that they would meet their parents outside of the theater when the movie finishes.
She got up with him, and they started walking out of the theater.
When walking by the attendant, there just happened to be a manager standing there also.
She was afraid he would hurt her if she said anything, but she decided to take a chance.
Walking by the two men, she said, Where are we going, you are not my father.
And he squeezed her locket, and ran pulling her.
The two men gave chase.
He made it to the parking lot, when she started to fight back.
She stopped running, and was trying to pull her arm off.
He sped off, but not before someone was able write down the license plate number.
When she was questioned by the police, she wasnt really able to tell them much.
The police, having processed the license plate by now, decided to pay him a visit.
They went to the house, and the door was answered by a boy of about 11 years old.
The police walked in, and found a man fitting the description.
He denied everything, until they searched his closet.
Balled on the floor was the same green tie that my grandma had described to them.
They took him in, and he confessed to everything.
This guy had a family.
What even would he have done with her if he had successfully kidnapped her?
My grandma says she never got the answer to that.
It was his ELEVENTH attempt!
He first started out with a girl of about 18.
He was tried at court, and yet again, was released after 6 months in prison.
He went on to kidnap two more girls after my Grandma.
When telling us the story, she showed us the scar of where he clenched down on her locket.

I escaped an attempted kidnapping
I escaped an attempted kidnapping several years ago in my hometown.
I had left my cell phone at home that day.
By the time I knocked off, it was dark, but I didnt live too far away.
I declined after realizing that it wasnt my boss and kept walking.
He got out of his car and started chasing me down.
I fought hard, but Im a pretty tiny woman and he was definitely stronger than me.
I screamed my head off hoping someone was still awake in the neighborhood and could come help me.
I sprayed that fucker right in the face and ran for my life.
I ended up running into two people out jogging who had heard me screaming and they walked me home.

Naturally, the 4-7 year olds bolted towards him.
I had a pocket knife, and being 10, that made me think I was fucking invincible.
The little kids are going nuts, to them, theres now 2 days of Halloween.
The fucking 4-7 year olds bolt for the car, which was oddly parked.
It was parked parallel in 3 perpendicular spots (assumedly so he could just drive out easily).
AND THE LITTLE SHITS GET IN.
Luckily, their mom notices, freaks the fuck out and calls the cops.
Turns out, dudes a child molester, and broke allll sorts of parole/legal boundaries.
Guy gets put in the car, and the cops talk to all of us for a couple minutes.
She took the garbage out while my grandpa was watching the kids after dinner she never came back.
Found the body sometime later really messed my grandpa up.

So we packed some of our things into a couple small suitcases and a couple black garbage bags.
Child services found us when my mom registered us for school.
We didnt want to live with our dad, he didnt know how to cook.
So my brother snapped, and started screaming and running around the room.
One of the officers grabbed him, which transformed me into a very defensive big sister.
I started kicking the officer holding my brother.
My brother got a hold of the officers baton and hit the guy with it.
We were then manually transported through the school, right as classes were being released for lunch.
No we didnt stop for food or bathroom breaks.
My brother and I both pissed our clothes in the car.
We were so hungry when we got dropped off at the office building but all they had was cocoa.
We were never scared with our mom, our needs were met and we were pretty happy.
The way we were treated through the whole rescue was dehumanizing.
My father was a neglectful parent, as well as physically abusive.

The man let go of me and sped off.
Before anything else could happen I ran into my friends house.

The drive kept waving me closer to the cab and held up a map book.
I dropped my book bag and ran for the house while he sped off.
Woke my mom up and she flipped out.
I assume he saw my mom looking because he left rubber getting out of there.
My mom called the cops and a patrolman showed up and took information on the truck.
It was him and I had my first panic attack in my life.
I thought for sure he could see me.
They charged him with attempted kidnapping and something else that I dont remember.
They pulled him over, btw, in front of an elementary school where he was idling.
I ended up testifying for the DA via videotaped interview.
He was acquitted because he claimed he was deaf or something.
I never quite understood how that worked.
Had a lot of nightmares and got diagnosed with PTSD.
For a long time, I had trouble getting past what might have happened if I hadnt gotten away.

I was able to kick into panic and yell run.
My cousin froze for a second but ran after.
I looked back and the car had slammed the door and sped off.

My mothers boyfriend took me and my brother
This will probably get buried, but here it goes.
The neighbors dad finally came to pick us up and pay him off and we never saw him again.
Pretty sure my mom got a restraining order after that.

Just for reference we live in a Muslim country Dubai UAE.
When I was 11-14 I was really into skateboarding and would skate in front of our house.
I dropped my board and fled for the gate.
I grabbed the gate and forced myself through it, closing it behind me.
