She was in public many times with her “kidnappers” and photographed.
But her captors threatened to kidnap her sister if she misbehaved. She did what she was told so as to save her sister from what had befallen her.
My, you are very hateful. She was an innocent child, kidnapped and raped by this animal. I cannot imagine the emotional trauma that she was still suffering when she appeared to be physically in a position to escape.
Patty Hearst reacted the same way to her kidnapping but at a older age. Maybe you should contemplated how kidnappers can twist a victims mind. The similar reactions of both women speaks volumes.
