GUILTY PA - Christina Regusters for kidnap, rape of 5yo girl, Philadelphia, 14 Jan 2013 - #1

Somewhat off topic.

Don't get upset with me, I am not a monster. But I am truly sick and tired of not using a woman's, or a child's name because they are a victim of a sexual crime. To me, this just reinforces the stigma, that it was somehow the victim's fault, when it obviously is not. The child is a victim of a crime and a survivor, and has nothing, not one damn thing, to be ashamed of. Our society makes it seem shameful to be the victim, when in reality it is the perp who should be feeling the shame.

I will not use her name out of "respect" even though I honestly feel it is just perpetuating a bad policy in our society.

End of rant.

As a SA survivor I agree with you however I think each person is entitled to make that decision for them self. Not everyone is comfortable with sharing that part of their life and that should be respected. We also have to keep in mind that not only is this a young child but she belongs to a religion/culture where even today SA victims are often times shamed and blamed. Until she is old enough to process what (may have) happened to her and what that means to her as a Muslim woman, I think we should err on the side of caution and protect her identity.

Can they use scent dogs to track the smell on the t-shirt to see if it leads to a house nearby? I feel like that neighborhood should be locked down and searched house by house. How far is this park from the school?

Any clarification yet if she was walked or driven to the home of the man? So scary.

Wow! This is UNREAL! I'm so thankful she was found alive!

I hope they are knocking on every single door near that park RIGHT NOW.

Still wondering if the teacher might play any part just because of the seemingly crazy coincidence of the sub being there. If this is a network of people..... well it doesn't make any sense . If they are child traffickers why ' target' a specific child instead of just wait for an opportunity to snatch one off the street or somewhere LESS conspicuous. It doesnt' add up that it could be a targeted kidnapping AND a child sex ring type thing.
Anyone else feel that way ? It must be one or the other, but not both.

Not necessarily. Here is what I am thinking. I just recently watched a Katie Couric show interview with a young woman who helped bust one of those rings. She herself was held prisoner by various pimps and taken on the route across the country.

The top bosses hire these lowlifes, these sick pervs, to run the stash houses that are set up across the country.

So it is possible that one of these sick 'employees' of the trafficking ring, became obsessed with N. in some way. Or knew her family somehow.

I got the feeling that the female kidnapper was bringing a 'gift' home to someone. JMO

I don't really think that it has anything to do with shame in her case, or those like hers. Whether a child is abused or not, I never think it's a good idea to show pictures with the name, address, school, etc. unless it's absolutely necessary. Once a child is found, I don't think it's at all necessary anymore. The information will still be out there in many places, but I don't think this has to be one of them. MOO

At the end of this video, he comfirms the father took a lie detector test and passed.

I was wondering if scent dogs could track the little girls scent back to the house.

I believe they'd only go from oldest to newest scent, so that probably wouldn't work. Maybe it would be possible to track the girl who brought her there if NR could show them exactly where she dropped her off. MOO

 

[hollyblue]

NR was fed.. And showed no marks of physical abuse... I hope this continues to be found true...

Does anyone find it odd that we have not heard from/about the worried father?

I haven't read all the posts, but was she going to a special school? She lives in S Philly and is attending a W Philly school. ??? Maybe for her faith?

There's Islamic Day schools, but many Muslims find their kids get better academic educations at Public School or being homeschooled.

Also I didn't read the entire thread, but it could be for a number of reasons the little girl went to school in West. Kids go all over the city to different schools here. Maybe because the sibling started in that school? Maybe it's considered a better school? Maybe a parent went there? Maybe closer to a parents work place?

 

[Filly]

I wonder what time the kidnapper entered the school?

Supposedly by most accounts 8:50 that being 10 minutes after the little doll was dropped off. They said she was already in the class.

 

[Filly]

"Latifah Abdur-Rashid, told NBC10's Claudia Rivero that her daughter is preparing to be examined. She also says Nailla told her that she was blind-folded during her abduction."

Poor girl

That blew me away. Why was anyone texting or conversing with Claudia Rivero?

 

[MissSunshine]

SO the kidnapper entered the school and left with her in under a minute?

 

[ttcRider]

Perhaps the kidnapper was talking to her before she went in to class and asked her her name etc?

How would that be possible when her mother dropped her off?

 

[Filly]

More like five minutes is what they said on our news.

IMO the woman knew it would be a hectic time, and people would be coming and going. IMO she also knew that the little girl went to an after school program so that gave her all day.

I don't see anybody else on the stairs. Sounds like everybody already came and gone.

 

[Filly]

Right.

Again I didn't read the entire thread, but did her mom see her go in the door? Did she walk her in or maybe her sibling walked her in?

That's true. I meant when the woman entred it may have been hectic.

I live in close proximity to two Philadelphia Public schools and the kids wait outside in a line. Some parents wait until the kids get in. Some don't. More sad is some of these little kids and I mean little walk all the way to school all alone. Dreamer would know better though.

Do we have a case map yet? I did one earlier but didn't save it.....
