Who knows if this story is valid or not, but, the OP has not been around since early March so probably lost interest so probably no reason to start sending out DM's to a poster that isn't here.

Maybe because you keep posting here in the thread instead of DMing the member, and it keeps bumping this old thread to our notifications, and to the New Posts. It's annoying and you should know better.

No, I was just trying to get the attention of the OP, which I have. Other members post they have sent a DM to an OP, why can't I? If you don't care to be notified, put me and/or OP on ignore.

If a DM doesn't get her attention a thread isn't going to get her attention. Time to chill momma
I'm the OP here. Yes, I'm still around, no, the story's STILL NOT FAKE, MaryleeII *did* get ahold of my via email, & I have read all the recent responses to this thread.
One of the reasons I stopped posting is cos of all the negative vibes I was getting from people here. Nice way to offer advice & support in a Psych forum. <snort> I was getting much better assistance elsewhere, in the real world, off the 'net.
I've also had other worries. Like being in the hospital twice w/ chest pains, from all the stress.
The story has ended. My daughter, or what she *used* to be, is gone. She has been so thoroughly brainwashed by the people who have her, that she's unrecognizable anymore, physically *&* mentally. They worked her continually all winter after she moved in w/ them. My daughter & the boy are, inexplicably, back at the amusement park for the season now (they said they weren't going to hire him back, since they don't hire back people they've fired.....but, for some reason, they *did*, & of course, my daughter followed).
A couple mos ago, I contacted the sheriff's dept in the county where she was living w/ these people, just to tell them she was driving w/out a license or permit, which she can't get cos of her epilepsy, & being non-compliant w/ her neurologist or her meds (since those people won't allow her to see her drs). I told them where she was living, & what kind of car she'd be seen in. I did not ask them to visit her, just to keep an eye out. I ended up getting a call from one of the deputies, a few days later - when they saw who she was living w/, they considered it urgent that they check on her, cos as the deputy who called me told me, "If they have another girl living in that house again, she's probably also in danger." (They've done this before - they are users - they use other people to get what they want). The deputy & I spoke for about 20-25 min, & they told me quite a lot. Some of it I already knew, some I didn't. Yes, the boy's father is a Tier III sex offender, & has to check in at their office every 90 days, for life. He likes little girls. A brother was arrested for abduction & illegally concealed weapons. The mother has been through the court system numerous times, for not paying bills, driving w/ stolen plates, domestic violence, she's been ordered into remedial parenting classes on more than one occasion, etc. As the deputy told me, "We've been to that house more times than we care to remember." I told him that, on one occasion, that woman texted me that she relied on the sheriff's dept for "support & professional advice." His response to that was, "Really? The only advice *we've* given her is to keep her damned family out of trouble & out of the courts." In fact, he told me that, one time when they were out there, the woman said to one of them, "You visit me so often, I should just make you some donuts!" He said they still laugh about that at the sheriff's dept. She's delusional. "Not the type of people I'd want *anyone* in my family associating w/.", as he said. He said that, when he was at the house & asked my daughter to come outside so he could talk to her alone, the mother kept trying to come outside w/ them. The deputy kept telling her to go back into the house, & she kept saying things like, "Oh, I'm not going to say anything, I just want to listen." He finally told her that, if he had to escort her back into the house, he'd charge her for interfering w/ police business. He asked my daughter if she'd been driving, & she admitted to driving "a little". He asked for her license, & of course, she didn't have one, or a permit. He told her that this was her one warning, & that if she was spotted driving, she'd be arrested. I gave him the run-down of the past 11 mos, & he was actually interested enough to say, "I don't care if she's 19 - I'm going to keep on top of her." He said he'd pull her out of work & interview her when none of that family was around, he was going to call the county's human trafficking task force to pull her out & interview her, etc. Of course, right after that, the boy & my daughter left the county, & headed to work at Cedar Point again.
The police dept at CP now knows she's driving w/out a license, too. They know what car to look for - as the officer I talked to up there said, "Yes, we know that car very well" (after all, it's an old, beat up CP police car). I asked them that, if they do see her driving & they pull her over, to scare the crap out of her - cuff her, take her in, print & photograph her, etc...so that she can see what living like this will do to her future & her reputation. She was NOT raised like this.
As it turns out, at the same time I was talking on the phone to the deputy, the boy's mother was texting my husband (we had her other 2 old phone numbers blocked....she got a third one, which we've also since blocked). She said that my attempt to "control my daughter" was "pathetic". Yeah - like who's *actually* controlled MY daughter for the past 11 mos? We didn't respond - why bother responding to a delusional person?
The whole thing came to a head 2 days before Mother's Day, when I got an email from my daughter saying that she wished I was dead. I wrote her back, saying, "As you wish." I told her I was sick & tired of the stress she & those people were causing, affecting my health. I was sick & tired of the lies, sick & tired of dealing w/ people who were so transparent in their motives (wanting to control my "expensive daughter", who's "not worth what we paid for her", etc). I'M JUST TIRED OF IT ALL. My son tells everyone he's an only child now. He won't even acknowledge her. The few times she's tried to email him, he just showed them to us, then deleted them w/out responding.
I told her to go away, & not come back. She's found the lifestyle she prefers - hanging out w/ liars & criminals, lying herself like she *never* used to do, using unbelievably foul language, & handing her money over to others. She's "graduating" from an online school in a few wks - a school that has a D/F rating w/ the state of Ohio - an even lower rating than the Youngstown City School system, which is the lowest-rated public school system in Ohio. ECOT - Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow. The girl who cuts my hair has a sister who teaches for them, & the teachers hate it so much, they call it the "Educational Cesspool of Tragedy". Most of the teachers there are simply waiting for a chance to get a "real" teaching job w/ a "real" school. The whole thing's a joke.
My daughter turned 20 on Tues. That's when I wrote to her & told her to never contact us again. I informed her that my last present to her was that I would NOT file theft charges against her for the jewelry of mine & my Mom's that she refuses to return. I told her to send it back, or keep it, I didn't give a crap anymore. But that if she kept it, that I hope every time she looks at it, she remembers what it represents: everything she threw away - her education, her reputation, stability, a future, a family, LOVE. All gone. And I told her that, every time she looks at any member of that family, she keeps this thought in mind - "When will *my* time be up? And who will the next girl be?" Again, she wasn't the first, & she certainly won't be the last. They don't even think of her as "human". The woman says she's her "jackpot", & the boy calls her his "Russian trophy." That pretty much describes their motives to a T.
Since she's no longer living in that house & handing her money over to that woman, their house is currently up for sheriff's sale, on 6/17 - for the *4th time*. Stands to reason, since my daughter isn't there to pay their bills anymore.
Call me cold. Call me heartless. I don't care. This is what those people have turned OUR FAMILY INTO. Beat a dog enough times, & it will learn to bite to defend itself. I've learned to bite, God help me. But I am NOT going to risk my health for someone who doesn't give a damn.

Lin, I have not posted in this thread before, but I want to wish you peace of mind and wellbeing.
You have suffered enough. You did all you -- or any woman in your position -- could rightfully, legally do.
Move forward with a clear conscience.
Your actions show that you are the furthest thing from cold or heartless.
Now, you accept the reality of the situation. And it is time to move forward.
