It’s horrifying. I wasn’t hurting anybody. I was playing on a hammock. And then they took me.-26-year-old Suzanne Marie Berghaus of suburban Boston, on being kidnapped by government soldiers in El Salvador during a 1982 flare-up in the long civil war there.
Suzanne was then passed along to an orphanage and eventually adopted by an American couple in Massachusetts.
Her life is obviously much better than it would have been had she not been snatched, but the story of her reunion with her birth parents is definately worth reading. It is available here.
