Little did I know that I would be in the very sane situation with my now 7 years daughter. From her evil father who happens to be of Jewish origin. He is a child abuser amongst other things, he is dangerous. He manipulated the court system since he works there and they awarded his custody against the Pychiatric report. Only God can help me at this point. He is alone with my kids and has mental health issues, plus abuse. I pray that God comes through for me and my kids so we can escape.

She's reluctant to talk at length with the interviewer about him even now when she had been home for 4 years or so at this point. Now that she is older, she does speak more fondly of the good memories and has opened her heart to forgive. Betty did a great job raising her.

I mean would someone actually go through the trouble and nightmare she did just to write a book for money? Seriously think about that. She could've died and it was important for her to share her story in order to warn others and to help others in her situation. Seriously, who could come up with such an elaborate story about escaping through Turkey and almost being killed? I'm pretty sure that if she had one wish, it would be that she never married this man so that she wouldn't have had a child that would go through such agony, rather than writing a book to make money. A real mother would never want to put their child through an experience like this.

Priya Desai No one was there to witness the dispute between the two , and their daughter was 4 yrs old too young to remember the details .However there is two sides to any story , Dr. Mahmoody appeared on Iranian tv on many occasions and denied the accusations made by his ex-wife. One thing is undeniable , there was a custody battle between the couple over their daughter ,like many married couples going through divorce or separation around the world. The parents are increasingly attempting to accuse each other of nasty things to get the upper hand in custody battle . In this case , Betty Mahmoody kidnapped their daughter and escaped from Iran. The rest is history, then she decided to write a dreadful book full of lies , inaccuracies and contradictions which hollywood made into sensational movie with dramatic scenes. Betty Mahoofy is an opportunist and a diabolical woman who tried to capitalized on her ordeal to gain sympathy and making money and on top of that the film based on the book was presented as evidence of the barbarity of Iranian men , demonizing Iranians and disrespecting Iranian culture

+myrnavega2 Women in every country are subject to misogyny (hatred towards women) in some form or fashion. In the USA, Congress and the Senate pass laws effecting or prohibiting coverage of women's medical treatment for things like birth control, mammograms, gynecological treatments/examinations, women's preventative care/wellness, etc. In addition, they refuse to pass/enforce legislative laws over men's irresponsible behavior towards women i.e. not paying child support, etc. Or worse, making it a crime if a man procreates 50+ children out of sheer irresponsibility and does not support them. and yet continues to run free without offering any type of physical, emotional, nor monetary support. And worse part, we women often just sit back and attempt to make amends with this treatment/behavior by men. Worse lately, in the USA, if a woman is married,, but separated for different reasons, has no health insurance, has children, and unless there is a domestic violence situation, she doesn't qualify for Medicaid/CHIP in her state, she cannot get any assistance to help her be medically insured. So not only does she have to bear the burden of taking care of a child as a single parent, further, she gets no child support, and she gets no Medicaid/CHIP in the states that did not expand their Medicaid program, she also gets no health insurance or help to be insured. And in jobs that don't offer insurance, she gets further screwed by society just because she is a woman.

+Mike Souza get your facts straight before you go spouting off at the lip. I participate in the National Womens Law Centers program advocating on behalf of women. It is their group along with other groups who help women in the USA advocate against legislation which is harmful to women. The last bit of advocate work collectively done by women for women was to make damn sure that the insurance companies are paying for the care that women receive. Where were you in that action? It is not non-sense, and it is a damn shame that we do not have more legislation towards the regulation of mens reproductive systems. It is fact, women face less support in the USA than in other countries where nuclear families are more intact. It is fact women have a more difficult time raising their children due to the culture of handing off children/infants to others who are not family to raise them and teach them in the absence of parents who are not available because they must go make money and there is a huge advocacy against parents and women in the USA legislation. The ideology of giving parents and mothers the time they need is limited to as soon as the infant can be bottle fed. The rightful consideration of the biological aspects of motherhood and infancy which is a crucial element is ignored by modern societies. It is all about profit margins. It is all about companies making profit. And for this, our societies are unhealthy. So for all your liberal slandering BS, get your facts straight. The fact is, insurance companies and other entities could give a rats butt about women's health and whether the woman's life is in danger, they don't give a damn. Even in the emergency rooms of American, whether or not it is a charity hospital or not for profit hospital, even if they are required by the IRS tax code to make damn sure they do everything they possibly can financially to make sure the individual is cared for, the bottom line is this: If you get care, you don't have insurance, and you don't have someone paying for your care, prepared to be sued by the lawyers who represent the hospital and collect debts on behalf of the hospital. It is not your health they care about, it is your money. So even if you just got out of surgery and are still in the healing/recovery process, don't be comfortable. The stress they will impose on you in taking you to court to make sure you pay for everything they would not normally bill an insurance company, but will make darn sure they collect from you as an individual, and refuse to negotiate will be a reality. There are no avenues of relief other than you further spending from your own pocket to pay for a lawyer to represent you in bankruptcy court. So it is the health care systems in the USA duty to place people in ruin before they do right by the legislation where they are required to follow. And on top of that, they don't pay for taxes as non-for profits and charity organizations. So they continue to retain their tax exempt status while not in compliance with both Federal and State Laws. If you think that the health care here is exemplary, then take a look into the stress people suffer as they continue to be able to not be insured and not be able to get coverage even from programs like Medicaid, charity, and financial aid. Many people are at a complete loss as to what to do. Even young adults who are no longer able to stay on their parent's health insurance plans. Before you go spouting off, look at the number of people in the USA who do get care, but at a cost of having to ruin their financial lives permanently.

If anyone is tempted or mislead to believe in his version of these events, then I recommend that you read Betty's book "For the Love of a Child," which argues against the false claims that Moody makes in his worthless documentary. Even though Betty should've trusted her gut feeling before going to Iran, Moody still should've not mistreated her badly.

Céline Villeneuve Desgoffe und Taxis Actually the Midnight Express movie was much more dramatic and depressing than the book which was allegedly written by William Haze. Grossly exaggerated in violence, depicting incidents that did not take place at all in the book, like rape and such. But recently i watched one of those dramatized ''documentaries'' so-to-speak called banged-up abroad, where Mr Haze gives again a different account of what he described in his (?) book. And several years ago he visited Turkey - he had been acquitted there meanwhile - and gave an interview there saying that in fact he was treated decently in prison, regardless of the harsh sentence after his second trial. I think MONEY was involved in all this... a generous amount of it. The exact truth lies among these four significantly different accounts, although he didn't eat Rifki's tongue, neither did he kill the warden in the end - the second one must have been an entirely fictitious character of the movie. I guess we will never know with certainty the truth and nothing but the truth. One thing is certain though... Turkish prisons were no joke at all... especially back in those days, for whoever was unlucky enough to end up in there. And the ones who suffered most were political dissidents opposing a semi-fascist regime which unfortunately still rules Turkey.

I personally didn't like Dr. Mahmoody as I know his type! He was a typical old-fashioned Iranian man with religious tendencies who went to the west for higher education and financial ambitions! I do agree that living with this type is no picnic and I feel for Betty in that regard! However, I believe Betty took this too far and treated it with petty generalization which makes her even more pathetic than the late Dr. Mahmoody!

I am married to an Iranian man, and I have to deal with many cultural differences both negative and positive. One thing I seem to notice is the "control" issue. I get in arguments about it all the time---but for sure, I can see her perspective in the events that happened to her. I've told me husband numerous times, if he had married a real American woman, I am not sure the marriage would have lasted this long.

@sasandus this happens to hundreds of women from europe and america and they don't lie. this story ends happy but more often just the kid is taken and the mother is never alowed to see ore talk with them again. this woman is a verry brave and did what she thought was best. she knew she couldn't leave her daughter but she could also not stay where she was. I admire her for her courage!

What shocks me is how people talk about "crazy Iranian culture". I´m married to an Iranian and I know many Iranian people. Most men never treat me as if I was less than them, I even feel better treated from them as from french men (I´m french).Most girls wear makeup and go to private parties with short skirts. I don´t know what to believe in this story, I look at Betty, and she seems sincere, the same goes to her ex husband.Very less people know what really happened, so why fight over it?

I think the reason why she wanted to escape was because of the war that was going on during this period of time in Iran. Nobody wants to live under those circumstances and I do not blame her for wanting to escape. Because the honest truth is had the war not played out during that time they could of just stayed and built a new life for themselves there.

I've read a lot of the comments on this site but yours actually demands a response. Unfortunately for any one who believes you, they are only being set up for the rude awakening about you and what the truth about your culture really is. I am your worst fear because I have studied your culture and I know the truth. You and your kind are bent on world domination through force and you start with the weakest (women & children). You are liars from the beginning and you worship a false god who's name is Satan (Allah the moon god) who is the false reflection of the True God. You hold up a comic book (qur'an) and call it sacred because to speak other than that is certain death. Your people are physically weak and as such refuse to do any hard labor but look to enslave others through trickery and or the enticement of your new found wealth from oil, to do your bidding. You and your cult religion are an abomination and the sooner you are driven from this planet the better for us all. You will not win in your quest for world domination and you will be utterly destroyed. Just know this, there are others who can see the Truth just like me and more people are having their eyes opened every day.

Jimmy Quick I believed Betty 101%. 23 years ago, I had a cousin that got married with Muslim she is the 4th Wife. She tried to escaped, before she got pregnant with their 1st child and we hid her in our home, she was at her age of 17, but her husband threatened us that he will kill us. He brought guns and showed us his guns. My cousins right now have 8 eight kids with him because that's what he wants to have more kids with her, she cannot go anywhere too,so, she got stucked and helpless.

Bullshit. Her story is all there is to it. She was the one who was trapped there, not him. She couldn't do anything and had no rights there. He beat her and tried to send her back to the US without Mahtob. And you think it's "only one side" of the story. Ridiculous. What the hell could his "side" possibly be..? He was the one with all the power. He held all the cards and the government and the laws supported him completely. How could you possibly think his "side" had any validity at all. So he tried to force them both to stay there completely against their will, then he tried to separate them for the rest of their lives. And it didn't work, because they escaped back to the US, after going through sheer hell to do it. Is that his side..? Oh boohoo my heart bleeds for him.

@crazyfishstudios Watch his documentary called "without my daughter" that can be seen here on KZitem. I´m curious about the book too but could´t find it either. But the documentary says it all. In the documentary he recounts the whole story very superficially, feeling sorry for himself and trying in vain to contact Mahtob. Imho it was a very weak presentation of his side, if he really was mistreated and defamed in Bettys book he´d have solid proof but he actually hadn´t.

I'm not saying it could not happen in Iran, but if the story is true, she has been very unlucky. What she is saying about her husband family is not presenting a regular Iranian family at all. But you can find bad people in any country. My uncle's wife is an American and far as I remember our family were treating her like a princess anytime she visited Iran only because she is a foreigner. Generally Iranians love American people.

This girl was a child when all of this supposedly took place and her sole guardian made an enormous amount of money by demonizing her father. It’s no wonder that she seems so cold and quiet as she answers the interviewer’s questions with her mother intently looking on at her. This is textbook parental alienation and this girl suffered because her mother wouldn’t allow her to have a relationship w/ her father. May God punish all those that lie to their children about alienated parents…

Make your bed and lie...I mean die in it. I have no sympathy for Moody AT ALL! He lied to Betty-and held her in a country against her will. As for the American woman that Betty befriended in Iran?

History is full of 'People who thought they were doing the right thing'. When they are blatantly doing their own 'thing'. No doubt Dr Mahmoody thought he was 'doing the right thing'. In keeping wife & child in Iran. Mahtob touches on this issue well with her 'Can One Person Change the World' speech. She has her father's genes and will do well!

Well, he was being abusive because she wanted to leave. And in the beginning she had no reason wanting to escape, she just wanted to live in America because that was her home country. But her husband also has the right wanting to live in his home country with his daughter. And the women being opressed... Women are being opressed every where. even in this country. .As long as they could of lived a happy life I think she had no reason being so overdramatic about living in Iran.
