http://www.vibe.com/article/ohio-kidnapping-victims-neglect-thank-hero-charles-ramseyAmanda Berry, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight were saved by fellow Clevelander, Charles Ramsey, and yet, in a new video neglect to thank him for his heroics. Why?!
The three Cleveland, Ohio kidnapping victims who were held captive for a decade have spoken publicly for the first time since their dramatic rescue back in May. The clip, which you can see below, finds the trio thanking the public for their support, their donations, and respecting their privacy.
Berry, 26, whose six-year-old daughter was born as a result of a sexual rape by their alleged captor Ariel Castro, says her child is "growing stronger every day." "First and foremost, I want everyone to know how happy I am to be home with my family and my friends," she said. "It's been unbelievable. I want to thank everyone who has helped me and my family through this entire ordeal. Everyone who has been there to support us it's been a blessing to have such an outpouring of love and kindness."
While Knight especially thanked the public for their donations, which she says she is using to build a new life, one name was missing from the listCharles Ramsey. This is extremely strange considering that Ramsey was the one to initially discover and free the captive women.

Stop it!
I have no idea why they didn't mention him, but if anybody thinks they should be picked at after what they went through, they need to Get.A.Life.
That they are even able to make a video statement is remarkable and hopeful.
But noooooooo. That's not good enough.

(3,724 posts)Casting judgement on them after what they've been through? How about you go through it, just as they did, and in ten years we'll meet back here and critique your performance?
Oh, and
