who is reclined on the examining table. She looked happy, making the picture that much better.

I am fearful that the man/men who kidnapped her mother may know them as her dad.

My friend Kenny lives about ten minutes from where this happened and has a bad feeling about this. The brothers may all be homeowners and there quite possibly could be more people found.

Maybe that is your answer to *So?*.

That and the fact that the child of probable rape only knows the beast that did this to her mother is 'daddy' -- This story is going to get uglier before it gets better.

if you had questions about what I may or may not have said, you certainly could have asked instead of writing something as dismissive as *so*.

Ok? The woman was raped as a hostage victim. Don't tell me to chill out.

Or, rather, why that search warrant was taking so long to acquire.

by the brothers of the kidnapper. They were arrested as well.

As to why it took so long to get the warrant -- yes this is a big problem.

I'm very glad these women are alive. It's still a bad situation, BB.

The women were kidnapped on the same street and found at the home just three miles away as their alleged kidnappers hid in plain sight. Neighbors said they often saw Castro walking with the six-year-old girl.

Cleveland police believe the women were tied up in the home after they were snatched and local reports noted there were chains hanging from the ceiling.

At the press conference, authorities confirmed that the little girl was born to Berry while she was in captivity, but it is not know which of the suspects - if any - is the father.
Bold face mine.

So happy that these young women were found alive. I am happy for them, and happy for their grieving families!

Now, I hope they get the help that they need to adjust back into society.
