Finally. Oh Happy Day. When these young women gained their freedom from that horrible real-life monster. I hope they continue to get the excellent help that they are no doubt receiving, that they will someday feel safe to walk once again in this world. Looks like they are well on their way to that end.

I wish only the best for these young ladies. When Michelle Knight talked about walking through hell I just about lost it.

I've been curious about how they're doing, and it's nice to get an update.

I really hope Castro pleads guity so these women can be spared the trauma of a trial.
