I just looked it up. A photographer won the Pulitizer Prize for taking pictures of women and children who go through the underground.

Yes...children of the underground.
I've been following the posts and I see where the theories are leading and that there are two things missing..
1. why
2. where are they
Trying hard not to cross TOS so tip toeing here
When I rack my brain for the "why" I keep coming back to the most traditional reason, abuse or sexual abuse. It is possible, of course, that they were taken for the reasons we first think of when thinking of girls being abducted (to be abused). But there is another reason out there and it has happened before. To stop abuse.
Now..back to another question, what reason would someone have to take two female relatives in the same family who it is said that they spend a great deal of time together and are close in age? If it is a relative kidnapping, why just the girls and why these girls?
What do we know about trends in abuse in families? Not an accusation of the family..just a question.
It has also been said many times that this is a very large family and they are close. Maybe we don't know everyone?
I was thinking this morning about all of these things, and reading the hinted at theory on here and I remembered this movie and that it was a true story, and that at least as near as the 1990s, there was an underground.
