Just when I'd begun to pity the Smarts they go and do this. Movies and books are going to be made about Elizabeth whether they do a movie or not. How can you license the making of movie about your daughter's rape? Ed Smart gives me the creeps. There's just something wrong there. It could be stage fright or stage meglomania--some people change when they get front of a camera. Why not let Elizabeth try to recover in peace. What good can her family's involvement in a movie do?

I'd begun to forget them ----there are other children who have been kidnapped, some escaped but are now pretty much forgotten. People have short attention spans, the only reason this case will stay in the public mind is because they want it to --- I suppose if anyone is entitled to the profits of a movie, it would be the Smarts but I think most of us would prefer to slip into forgotness.
