yes, you're completely right about that. And Melinda couldn't be saved until she actually spoke to someone about it. (it should have been the authorities of course, but then there wouldn't be a movie to watch LOL)
Thank god, I've never been in that kind of a situation in my life, but I'm sure it's incredibly hard to be brave and speak. She was basically frozen when she picked up the phone. I'm amazed at how she managed to find the phone and called 911 in the first place. Some other girl could have run away... I don't know... There are endless posibilities to what can a woman do in that situation, don't you think? And since all these stuff still happens on a daily basis, most of those woman choose to stay silent, which is just tragic.
