How a man used printer paper and hand sanitizer to escape an alleged 20 years of captivity by his stepmother | CNN
edition.cnn.com
After nearly two decades, he wanted his freedom, he told police, as he recounted a hellish tale laid out in an arrest warrant that describes a life of “captivity, abuse and starvation.”

Both sides of his door had been secured with plywood and a lock, the man would later say, to stop him from getting out.

For years, he’d only been given two sandwiches – egg or tuna salad, or peanut butter – and a small amount of water each day, he’d recall, in the storage space where he was held.

      LMAO are you really going to try and imply that “It’s cowardly or complicit to not do something about someone locked in a room for 20 years” is a position born out of never having suffered any abuse, just pure privilege talking. Well it isn’t, I can assure you.
