FULL TITLE: Kidnap victim Michelle Knight is deaf in one ear and will need facial reconstruction surgery after years of brutal beatings at the hands of her captor

Michelle Knight, the longest-held Cleveland kidnap victim, suffered such severe beatings while locked inside the house of horrors that she will require facial reconstruction surgery, her family said.

Knight, 32, was released from hospital on Friday, five days after she and two other victims Amanda Berry, 27, and Gina DeJesus, 23, along with Berry's six-year-old daughter were rescued following a decade held captive in the dungeon-like home.

'When she was severely beaten, he beat her so badly in the face that she has to have facial reconstruction and she's lost hearing in one ear,' Knight's grandmother, Deborah Knight, told CBS.

Yes, a tedious castration by pliers is what I meant. Slow and deliberate. Sew him up and give him a blood transfusion and then do it all again.

Close knit PR community, as every reporter keeps repeating. Everyone knows everyone else and their business. We have heard this over and over even from the neighbors yet no one ever suspected a thing.

I find that very odd, to say the least.


I agree. and I find it very odd that the two other brothers had no clue about what was going on. I bet they are eventually implicated.

. And now the other two women are having these big homecomings while Michelle has no home to go to.


I didn’t realize that. Has she no family?

There is a cemetery directly behind the houses across the street from the hell house. It wouldn’t be hard to do away with any other missing victims or the babies there and no one would be the wiser.

I'm a 62 year old Texan and can remember growing up where rape was called rape and not sexual assault and it drew the death penalty. Kidnapping was the same death penalty. Remember the Lindberg baby? Kidnapper was whacked in NJ. Now you can kill someone and we argue for months whether you get 10 year 30 years or life. Kidnapping should be death and IMO, rape should be death.

I know there will be all these flames about some 19 year old having a 16 year old girlfriend pregnant, but I think we know the difference between that and rape. We can also discern when a father doesn't get the kids back to the ex wife in time for supper from real kidnapping.

The best thing you could do,for her is financially contribute to her reconstruction.

She came from an abusive home and her mom eventually kicked her out at 14.

On another thread it was mentioned that the little girl called Ariel Castro’s mother, ‘grandma’.

Like Hell they didn’t know!

That’s right. They knew and are scum, too. Those poor women will tell all.

True, very sad. But there was no particular reason for believing an adult woman who split had been kidnapped or was being held prisoner.

I’m a very gentle and non violent type but I think I could pull the switch on this piece of crap myself and watch him fry.

Frying's too quick. Baseball bat, blowtorch and razor knife, and a few hours...
