pictures and memories. reporter: other former victims have spoken up and started foundations to sympathize and help. like elizabeth smart who was taken by a religious fundamentalist but is now married and advocates for children s safety education. not all of them end sad. i am here. mine was a happy ending and i know there are many more children out there who have the same happy ending waiting to happen to them. and sean hornbeck whose foundation raises awareness. when i was 11 years old i was riding my bike near home and kidnapped by a stranger. i was held captive for four and a half years. if you see something, say something. reporter: now she has her own message to pass along in support of the three newly rescued women. these individuals need the opportunity to heal and connect back into the world. this isn t who they are. it is only what happened to them. the human spirit is incredibly resilient. more than ever this reaffirms we should never give up hope.
