The Aftermath
Sarah immediately alerted Detective Jones and they waited for the Johnsons to get back from church. When they finally arrived, Sarah could see that they had a look of despair and remorse on their faces, they knew they had been caught.
They were taken into custody and the reasoning behind the kidnapping was revealed. They simply needed help around the house. They took Emily so that she could help them to cook and clean. Emily forgave them as she knew they were old and they didn’t mean any harm, they just went about it the wrong way.
At the trial, the judge showed remorse and the Johnsons were sentenced to a year of house arrest because of their age. But on condition that they had to move to another state. Sarah was only too glad to have her precious daughter back with her.
