Today's story is about one of the bravest children we've ever had the privilege of hearing about. Jennifer Schuett was abducted straight from her own bedroom in the middle of the night when she was only 8 years old. Her abductor slit her throat, and left her for dead in the middle of a field. There she lay for almost 24 hours before she was found. And she was ALIVE! Not only that, this little girl gave it everything she had to help police find the man responsible.

Special thanks to Chastity for recommending this case!
