It would seem like more than two girls could bear: The man they called "daddy" turns out to be a registered sex offender thrown in jail, and now they've been told the woman they thought was their big sister is really their mother.
This is what Angel, 11, and Starlit, 15, have faced since the arrest last week of Phillip Garrido, charged with the 1991 abduction of Jaycee Dugard, now 29.
"They thought Jaycee was their sister," Dugard's stepfather, Carl Probyn, tells PEOPLE. "People have to realize this will take years of therapy."
Still, there have been encouraging signs the healing has begun. Dugard's reunion with her mother, Terry Probyn, has been "the happiest time of her life, and they are bonding," says Carl, who split with his wife amid the stress of his stepdaughter's kidnapping (Carl was briefly treated as a suspect, then cleared).

Sick and sad and representative if modern libertarian “society” in so many ways...
So she was 14 when the first one was born.
At least all three have one another and a new family that loves them and looks out for their best interests. Very sad though.
That is right. She had her first baby at 14 years of age.
Unfortunately so.
That’s right. And the creep that did this say’s, it is a heart warming story
$hit. stop this please.
Uday and Qsay were wasted on the wrong people.
“society” in so many ways...
yes, but when the lot of them wind up on Oafrah, this point will be bypassed.....only the victimhood and the perp(s) will be showcased
I’m glad this woman and her kids are in a safe environment now. Some of the stories of what happened at that address are truly horrible. These 3 will never have normal lives and will be in counseling the rest of their lives.
Put a bullet in the guy and his wife and throw them in the garbage dump.
I agree on his fate. I’m a volunteer for that task.
There is a trust fund to help at the website. I would suggest it be varified before sending contributions.
OMG!
The family is going to need a lot of money to pay for extensive, lifetime therapy, so I think the details ought to be saved for a book or for paid interivews.
That's right. Because libertarians are such outspoken proponents of kidnapping and rape...
I think it would be more intereting to release them into the lion habitat at a zoo.
“I think it would be more intereting to release them into the lion habitat at a zoo.”
If you’re going that route a lion would kill far too quickly.
They don't owe anybody the voyeuristic details. I hope they are allowed whatever degree of privacy they desire.
The strapped state of CA should pay for every bit of this therapy. It was due to the incompetence of their law enforcement and parole officers that this tragedy went on for as long as it did. Apparently, people were tipping the police for years that there were children on this sex offenders property. Yet no thorough search was done. Disgraceful!
Buried up to their necks near fire ant beds is more what I had in mind
