Woman sentenced to 20 years in prison for kidnapping her daughters – after 31 years everything was clear
A divorce between parents can bring a lot of sadness in a child’s soul. It is very important to communicate if a marriage cannot continue and to find the best solution regarding the care of the child. He must understand that the two adults simply no longer understand each other and that is why two separate paths are chosen. A mother could not bear the idea that her two daughters would be taken from her side, so she resorted to a simply disturbing alternative. The choice she makes denotes a lack of maturity and responsibility, things that are necessary among the qualities of a parent. She chose the easy path and showed selfishness, the decision she made will affect her in the long run.
Elaine and Russel Yates no longer understood each other and their marriage had become a real burden, both for them and for their two daughters, so they decided to go their separate ways. Elaine did not agree that her daughters could be taken away from her, so she resorted to an absurd act. The woman kidnapped the two girls and went 3,000km away, more precisely in Houston, where she took all the necessary measures to change her and the girl’s identity.
Sounds like a broken script from the movies we see on TV, right? Well, it’s 100% true. Elaine Yates changed her name to Liana Waldberg and raised the girls on her own. But this will not last indefinitely. All this time, the father lived in a lie, Russel knew absolutely nothing about his ex-wife and his two daughters. He did not know whether to pray for their lives or for their souls. Russel searched for a long time and after 31 years he would receive a call from one of his daughters. The moment was very emotional. He hasn’t heard his daughter’s voice for over three decades!
The man was eventually notified by local authorities that his daughters were found in Houston with his ex-wife. The girls learned that their long-lost father was alive and called him immediately. The two girls were amazed when the authorities informed them that their father was in fact alive and that he had been looking for them desperately for over 30 years. When they found out about their mother’s deed, they never wanted to see her again.
His little girls, now adults, told him that they had found out the truth and that they were coming home. Elaine was taken to court and sentenced to a severe sentence. She was to spend 20 years in prison for kidnapping. Russel said he was very sorry for his ex-wife but did not agree with her actions. Russel is happy that he can hug his daughters and they are determined to recover all the time they were separated. Elaine’s actions were inadmissible, she was selfish and irresponsible. He will have plenty of time to reflect on her actions. Share this with your loved ones!
