Parents that kidnap thier ADULT children

Yes this is the second case in less than a couple months, the other they wanted to force her to have an abortion.

 

That's just insane!

 

Wow, that reminds me a really bad movie we watched in Art of Film...

 

this is sick!

 

This happened to me both as a child and almost once again as an adult.

 

Let you in on my life. When I was taken into care at the age of five in October 1987, my father had gone ahead with a group of Jamaicans to the location I was in. The only two reasons why he didn't go through with it, he didn't know what street or number of house. Second reason was, he knew that if he did kidnap me, he would never be able to come to the UK and thus would have to stay in Turkey. I can understand why he wanted to and feel that he was probably innocent and all, but any parent who wants to kidnap their child is a bit dodgy. I still don't trust my father when he talks about the past. He is currently in Turkey with family etc. I would also say another possible reason why he didn't go through, was he hardly knew English and asking someone would be difficult.

 

My crazy granny (mom's mom) tried to take my eldest sibling from the hospital when he was born. My parents were living in another state (like a 7 hours drive away) and didn't call granny to tell her my mom was in labor. They STILL dunno how she found out and learned which hospital, etc. But anyway, my mom was only like 19 and her mom said since she isn't 21, she can't have custody of her baby, which means Granny gets custody. When my mom didn't believe this, granny told the docs, nurses etc that my mom was on drugs.

Anywho, after that they didn't talk for like 4 or 5 months, then my mom's stepdad called and said Granny is sick and dying and wants to see her grandbaby. So my mom went to visit and they took all her money (which was probably just enough for a bus ticket home cos they were dirt poor) and forced her to stay in the house. Her mom beat her. Then after awhile my mom called the police but they didn't believe that Granny was holding her there and said why don't u just leave? So my mom did, she managed to find somewhere to stay but a few days later granny and social workers came there and took the baby cos it was a "drug house" (This was like 1982 or something)

But after sometime my mom got my brother back. Granny was always trying to steal us grandkids (not in a cute way, either) I visited for ONE WEEK when I was 12 (the last time I saw her) and she enrolled me in school, I went two and a half days there. lol. She was convinced she had more rights to us kids than our parents

 

I was 21, living with cousins 600 miles away from my mother, and when she found out some things about the guy I was dating at the time she had my cousins hold me hostage (took my car keys, phone, laptop &I the house phone into their bedroom) for three days and then she came up with my sister & another cousin, packed up my room and took me back. I was held hostage and kidnapped by my own family. I was not allowed by myself during any rest stop, no cell phone for a week until I was too scared to tell anyone. I am now 24, and this is the first time i'm telling anyone about what happened to me. I still live at my mothers. No, i'm not happy about it but I don't have much of a choice aside from living in my car. It was a hugely scarring experience and I can no longer be friendly with my cousins like we were before. In trying to control her adult daughter, she broke every part of her family. I can't trust anyone anymore.

 

this thread is from 6 years ago...you should have started a new one....

....and you absolutely do have a choice...hundreds of organizations that could have or will help you get out from this awful life

did they shackle you?

 

sorry to hear that this happened shoekicka

RA, you got any names or links for the organizations?

 

I didn't look at the dates, I only joined to reply to this. Found this thread through a google search. Of these hundreds of organizations, which would help what looked like a girl living with her parent? Who would have believed me if I had tried to press charges once I was back in ny? I wasn't in shackles, I was in a country house surrounded by cornfields for seven miles till the next neighborhood. They set the house alarm to go off if one of thier toddlers opened the front/back/garage door (which is a great idea for toddlers).

Now i'm not going to depend on an organization or state funding to get myself out. I am graduating medical assistant training, getting a job and finding roommates on craigslist. But right then, three years ago, I was practically brainwashed into thinking there was no way out.

 

If The Subject Is Relevant, And This One Is, Dates Mean Nothing.
