The woman convicted of kidnapping Elizabeth Smart over two decades ago was arrested Thursday for violating her sex offender probation.
Wanda Barzee, who abducted then-14-year-old Smart with her husband Brian David Mitchell in 2002, is accused of illegally
...
In 2002, Barzee and Mitchell, who was a street preacher, went through an open window and abducted Smart from her Salt Lake City bedroom at knifepoint.
The teen was raped on a near-daily basis, and lived with the couple in run-down homes and campsites in Utah and San Diego.
Smart was found nine months later after a good Samaritan saw the trio walking in the suburb of Sandy, Utah and called police.
...
Mitchell was sentenced to life behind bars after being convicted of raping and kidnapping Smart.
In 2010, Barzee was sentenced to spend 15 years in prison. But her time behind bars was cut short.
...
Smart, now a married mother in her 30s, was outraged that Barzee was able to leave prison early and demanded that she go to a mental health facility instead of being free.
Smart claimed the freed felon “saw me as her slave. She called me her handmaiden. She never hesitated to let her displeasure with me be known.”
Smart also spoke out when the parolee decided to rent an apartment near an elementary school shortly after her sentence ended.
“Every possible caution and protection should be taken when it comes to protecting our children. Whether a person is deemed a current threat or if they have a history of child abuse, neglect, sexual violence, etc., prudent measures should be taken, including housing them as far away as possible from schools, families and community centers,”

Why is this monster out of prison at all?
So....”Barzee was reportedly released on the condition that she call authorities once a week, attend court hearings and not ‘commit any criminal offense.’”
Sure, that will work. /sarc
She needs to be locked up forever.
Right!
> But her time behind bars was cut short.
WTF is wrong with this country?
There ya go..... judges - "f'k the decent citizens.....let the monsters run the streets again!" ...../sarc
I could never understand the yuuuge discrepancy in the sentences of her and her husband.
She’s the poor man’s Ghislaine Maxwell. Her life is not in danger from powerful perverts but she needs to be locked away just the same (for the good of the children)
But she promised!! Crossed her heart and everything!!

At church, we hear we should give our problems to God.
This is a perfect example. Execute, then let God figure out what to do.

More folks need to realize that the sentences handed down in court by judges and juries are meaningless theater.
Actual time incarcerated is generally determined by bureaucrats.
Mitchell is in for life. Barzee is 79 yrs old; not a significant threat. She was a simple-minded follower of a kooky cultist.
I see your point.
She’s a criminal, she will do as she pleases regardless on law or conditions of her release.
anarcho-tyranny
A system of government that fails to enforce or adjudicate protection to its citizens while simultaneously persecuting innocent conduct
So was that Vallow Daybell creature. They even resemble each other in the mugshot. Women are as capable of evil as men.
Everyone should read Jack London’s ‘The Assassination Bureau.’
Exactly. We need to bring back the gallows and guillotines for deserving behavior and stream the deaths of the perps daily.
It is how this behavior and their gene pool will end.
Never heard of that one. Thanks for the tip.
