The doorbell rings at 7:15 PM. A family of four is handcuffed and gagged by masked men. The intruders aren't looking for cash — they're looking for a safe filled with secrets the family didn't even know existed [citation:5].
On the morning of November 15, 2009, pregnant mother Marcela Borges was watching TV with her 5-year-old son when four armed gunmen stormed her home in Winter Garden, Florida. The family was blindfolded, bound, and held hostage for three days. When the captors threatened to kill her family, Borges grabbed a knife, jumped from a second-story window, was shot in the back and wrist, but ran to a neighbor's house and called 911. The intruders were sentenced to life imprisonment [citation:1].
In another case, a 78-year-old cancer patient living alone in Forrestfield, Australia, was awakened at midnight by masked men holding a silver machete to his face. "I had tears in my eyes because I honestly thought that this is time," Paul Doyle recalled. The men demanded cash, took his phone, $300, alcohol, and a bag of coins, then ordered him to lie face down and count to 50 before fleeing [citation:3].
Meanwhile, in DeKalb County, Georgia, Jena Salem woke to an intruder in her home who had cut the electricity. He choked her, sexually assaulted her, and slit her neck with a kitchen knife. She survived and now shares her story to raise awareness about violence against women [citation:6].
