Three women held against their will for a decade in a Cleveland home released a YouTube video Monday night to thank the public for the support they’ve received to rebuild their lives free from captivity.
Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight broke their silence in the video, filmed July 2, and asked that the public continue to respect their privacy going forward.
DeJesus’ mother, Nancy Ruiz, appeared in the video alongside her daughter to thank her neighbors for their role in helping the girls escape.
“Parents in general that do have a loved one missing, please do me one big favor,” Ruiz said. “Count on your neighbors. Don’t be afraid to ask for the help because help is available.”
