I know but in cases like Patty Hearst ----if that was a brainwashing case, she was turned against her family. When people are forcefully removed from cults, they often have to be dragged kicking and screaming to their families, their minds were turned against them. Elizabeth looks very normal and glad to be with her family --her smiles are too genuine.

I'm sure she's going to have long-term effects once the euphoria wears off, as well as the rest of her family. If only she could be protected form having to face her kidnappers in court, but she has a very strong support system, and they'll help her through that ordeal. She has to be incredibly strong to survive being with these two slimeballs for the past nine months, and her strength will get her through. But it isn't going to be easy. The media and the tabloids won't help her one iota. She doesn't even have a semblence of normalcy yet, and I fear that when she tries--like going back to school--there's going to be the usual media scrum surrounding her.
