The kidnapped girl lost a lot of weight while in the care of the former teacher who abducted her
Alleged kidnapper Tad Cummins remains behind bars for abducting a minor and having illegal sexual relations with her. On top of that, the former teacher is accused of making the teen eat wildflowers for nutrition after he ran out of money.
Jason Whatley, the family lawyer for the Thomas family, said that although 15-year-old Elizabeth Thomas is now home and safe with her family, shell need intensive counseling to help her deal with and process the hardships she endured while she was held captive by Cummins, 50, her former health sciences teacher.

no sympathy from here...
she wasn’t abducted she went willingly...
theyre trying to make her like the other Elizabeth for pity to cover up her delinquency...but shes not..
Elizabeth Smart same age was kidnapped from her own bedroom and raped repeatedly for months by a crazy man, this Elizabeth is just a “bad girl” who ran away with her boyfriend...a willing participant...
Spooky.
Lol !
I agree . She was a runaway and put her family through hell .
Elizabeth Smart wasn’t abused at home either. This 15 year old wanted out of that house badly, she chose what she chose. It wasn’t a decision made by an educated adult with rational thinking
What a loser.
Whoa, yeah.
He looks like Jonah Goldberg.
Isn’t it though?
More convincing to me than Ted Cruz’s father with Lee Harvey Oswald.
Wasn’t this girl’s mother just recently arrested for child abuse? If that is the case then I would say there are extenuating circumstances regarding this young girl who went willingly to escape a bad situation at home.
I thought so too.
Her mother slammed her head on a washing machine, made her undress in front of a room full of people and this is the abuse we know of.
Quite frankly I would hope they would put Elizabeth’s mom and Tad in the same cell!

I was curious as to what he did for money. I figured he was using his credit cards.
Mr. Leftist Reporter....he bottom line is she was not a captive, but a willing companion, and had they not “found” them I’d bet that she would still be “with” him.
Now, the argument about whether she possessed the intellectual capacity to understand is something else altogether. Certainly this man had the ability to manipulate her mind (and obviously did), and thus her capacity to “consent” was not the same as what normal adults would consider free will.
Held captive implies a lack of physical ability, as opposed to mental manipulation.
This clown is no doubt a degenerate, and should be jailed for being an all around scumbag. But this idea that she was some innocent girl flies in the face of the video from the Walmart where the two of them entered the store, looking like normal customers, not one on the lam and the other a prisoner. There is a certain comfort level/familiarity that cannot be faked. She was a willing participant.
LOL!!!
I was just thinking the same thing.
