eugenonegin Posted July 26, 2017 Author #2 Share Posted July 26, 2017 The internet is playing up, but basically these schoolgirls were better off taken away from their parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilly Posted July 26, 2017 #3 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Uh...perhaps not: It must be Stockholm syndrome, others said. What else could explain why any girl, any woman, would choose to remain with such horrible men? Once these young women have children and become part of that community this could indeed happen. Kidnapping any child and taking them from their parents isn't a very good method of improving their chances for a better life. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with children so young. I suspect they had to grasp onto some kind of coping mechanism to survive it and the mind just took them out of captivity by making these "men" a replacement for their families. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jihadist propaganda sure finds a ready audience is certain places. Let's re-wind, back to 2014 when these under-age girls were kidnapped to (as was stated at the time) be sold as slaves. No, it isn't the KKK, it is Africa's own Boko Haram, and here is the long-form on those swine; http://ro.ecu.edu.au/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1019&context=act Swell bunch, eh? I wonder how many of the 223 girls taken in April of 2014 are still alive, and now many were slaughtered along the way. Ah, the OP is the good ol' BBS, how wonderful. This whole thing has a North Korean smell to it. Minors can be convinced of just about anything if you work them over, mentally and physically, for a couple of years. I am not sure of the Connections and Kids story holds all that much water; one of the only personal stories they told was of a girl who left a 2 year-old behind to rejoin her abductors. So, 223 taken, 82 released, "Some" went back. How many? How many died out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
