The grinning 16-year-old was freed from the secure unit shed been held at after her parents dramatically won custody on Tuesday.

She is finally headed home. Thank you, G-d, for reuniting her with her parents.

I suspect that before they would let her go, they demanded the family sign papers relinquishing their right to sue those responsible.

WOOHOO! GRRRREAT news!
Any word on the arrest and incarceration of her kidnappers?
Or perhaps they will become our overlords.
Thank God.
Hope she gets 10 trillion
I’ll bet her health improves as she will be in a far better mood and as such hopefully it will accelerate her recovery.
