Seriously though, this Netflix documentary was immensely disturbing.

'Abducted In Plain Sight,' Increased My Trust Issues By Leaps And Bounds

If you're into both drama and watching documentaries, then you must watch this film on Netflix.

The story starts off by describing the characteristics of a close family friend and neighbor, known as "B," who had a strange obsession over a little girl, Jan.

Now, here's where the film takes a complete turn - B decides to manipulate Jan's parents into a strange sexual relationship with him in order to get them out of the picture and begin grooming and getting closer to Jan.

Not only that, but as soon as B has the opportunity to kidnap her, he not only does it once but twice, with the parents' acknowledgment.

Instead of calling the FBI or police as soon as possible, the parents actually decide to wait it out and see what happens, which is completely mind-blowing.

Poor Jan not only goes through an evident traumatic rape by B but is also psychologically mind-washed by him.

With all that being said, here's where the trust issues begin...

Truly all of the trauma and awful experiences would not have happened if the parents didn't forbid it all in the first place.

What kind of parents decide to wait out calling the police in the midst of a kidnapping?!

Parents should always be there for protection, and honestly, I believe those parents were just opening the door for this child molester.

Secondly, didn't the mom find it strange in the first place that there is close to middle-aged man constantly taking pictures, wanting to sleep with her daughter every night, and constantly want to give her, "hugs?" If I saw any man doing that to my own child, I would be worried and utterly disgusted.

Thirdly, why should you blindly trust a neighbor with your kids alone not truly knowing where they're going? My parents would always go with me to make sure that I arrived somewhere safe when I was a little girl.

Even now, they always know the location in which I'm headed.

I'm surprised that Jan nowadays still trusts her parents despite all those things that occurred.

She truly has a brave soul.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
