She’s beautiful............
The kidnapping for 18 years didn’t do her in.. but being on the same cover with that sleezebag letterman just might...
What a beautiful young woman.........I just hope the press will leave her alone.
....I hope she makes a ton of money from People/book deals/movie deals ect and gets to remain in private....so far they’ve done a good job of shielding her....it’s too bad that her captors didn’t violently resist arrest so that they could have been shot to death.
This young woman has been to **** and back. My hope is that she has enough support to somehow move past her nightmare and find peace and quiet and a happy life. Prayers up for her and her family.
Kidnap victim Jaycee Dugard worked regularly in her accused abductor's print shop, forging a reputation as a model employee who was known to customers as "Allissa," reports CNN. Polite and professional, Jaycee greeted store visitors, created graphic designs, and emailed customers using a Yahoo account created under Phillip Garrido's name. "She was always good at getting us what we wanted," said former customer Ben Daughdrill. "You got the feeling she was doing all the work."(Newser, Aug 31, 09And anyone remember Elizabeth not-so-Smart?
"Why didn't she run away? Why didn't she readily admit she was Elizabeth Smart when police found her with the couple who had allegedly held her captive for nine months? How could she walk by all those posters with her picture on them and not say anything?And the lay psychologist/specialist/Guns-and-Roses Guitarist who called himself Slash isn't surprised by these gals' behavior, either. He supposedly once said, "Not to be a chauvinist or anything, but it's amazing the sh;t some girls will take."
These are the questions swirling since 15-year-old Elizabeth Smart was reunited with her parents in Salt Lake City and as evidence emerges that she stayed close to her captors even when they went to public places. Yet as perplexing as those questions seem, psychologists and other specialists are not surprised she didn't bolt. (Boston Globe, March 15, 2003)
I have noticed less children playing in their yards and riding bikes as in years before...and certainly less than from my childhood when we were all outside playing all day from dawn to dusk. Most parents today are afraid to allow this anymore, and rightfully so. We are afraid to take our eyes off of them for fear of something like this....a parent's worst nightmare.
I am so happy that Jaycee was able to survive this.
Her eyes are not dead, that is a good sign!! I think as horrid as it was to have two children with your kidnapper, those babies probably saved her life and her mind.
bttt.... not sure if the night shift has seen it...
