VOJ brought me here. Went back and read what everyone was thinking and how they felt about the case. I am a bit torn on what I think.
I am curious if any other families or people left the church around the time she did. Is it possible someone helped her escape? In the VOJ episode, it was said that she most likely would need to have a c-section since her body was not big enough to give birth. So maybe someone took her, helped her have her baby. This would require a hospital of some kind. I feel like most places would report a 12 year old giving birth. Unless it was already a trusted person i.e. a Dr.
She left behind everything, could she have planned to give the baby up? Did someone help her escape and then help her and the child? A lot of people think she would be a Mother to that child, but to pass this long undetected as a 12 year old single mother would be hard. Someone could have raised both her and the baby. Maybe even raised them under the guise of being siblings or cousins.
I hope she is alive and I hope one day we find out she has been living a quiet life and happy.
