And what about her familys reaction her fathers unconvincing [dry] tears and his all-too-eager willingness to go before media cameras and live broadcasts, and, as always, her mothers cool reaction? Even during the first hours and on the first day that Elizabeth came home!Interesting.
Brian Mitchell is, by any measure, a creep (as is his wife). But Elizabeth Smart clearly was attracted to this creep because he offered her a safe but exciting escape from her stultifying life.
My bet is that she will fit in once more to the Smart household. But when given the chance to escape again, she will fly the coop with joy but this time without the entire world speculating, erroneously, on her motives.
It brings to mind the teens I met while giving their rich parents tennis lessons.
