Jaycee Lee Dugard
Every time I read the Jaycee Lee Dugard story, it breaks my heart. What that poor young woman must have gone through, being kidnapped by psychopaths at age 11 and finally finding freedom at age 29.
When one looks at pictures of the backyard, behind a filth backyard that depraved felon, Phillip Garrido and his wife, Nancy, kept her in, molesting, raping and impregnating her, it makes one upset, as in essence, it is like she was in prison. He took her youth from her. No child deserves that. It is one of the sickest stories I've ever heard.
Then to think, Garrido impregnated her at age 14, then again at age 17, the babies delivered in filth, by two drug abusing psychopaths that raised them in squalor, to believe their underage mother is their sister, makes one upset all over again.
There really are evil people in this world. Sadly, Jaycee's story is not new, as similar cases have happened in Europe as well.
However, the judicial system has a responsibility to innocent members of society, to lock up such individuals, as such sociopaths belong in mental institutions and prisons, to protect law abiding men, women and children. Freedom is a privilege for the good and law abiding, not the lawbreaker.
Too often, juries sentence men and women to decades in prison, but they are released in a few short years, thanks to the parole system, to wreak havoc all over again, which is ridiculous.
Prior to the abduction of Jaycee, Philip Garrido kidnapped and raped a woman, received a 50-year sentence, then was out on the streets in 8-years, thanks to the parole board.
Some articles mentioned he found religion after the terrible things he did to Jaycee, but he clearly was not repentant, as he did not return Jaycee to her family and turn himself in to authorities.
What he found was not religion, but new age cult psychobabble, such as "mind control." No legitimate religion utilizes such oppressive, intrusive tools. He used "brainwashing" to control Dugard and her daughters, who I hope he did not molest and rape as well.
They have recently been told the man that is their biological dad, kidnapped and raped their mother when she was a girl of 11.
This must have caused additional psychological problems, but they needed to know the truth. I hope they will recover and not struggle with conflicting feelings within themselves, knowing they are related to a man that did such things.
The situation is so sad and those girls are going to need prayers, as will Jaycee, so pray for them. The press should also leave them alone and allow them to heal in peace.
Jaycee Lee Dugard's Kids "Starved Of Information”
Sep 02, 2009 @ 07:05AM - Never Watched TV, Never Heard Of U.S. President; Being “De-Brainwashed.”
Starlite and Angel, the two daughters Jaycee Lee Dugard had with her accused kidnapper, Philip Garrido, were "starved of information," have never watched TV, have never heard of the U.S. President, and are undergoing "de-brainwashing" therapy, according to investigators Wednesday.
Dugard, 29, Starlite, 15, and Angel, 11, were all undergoing therapy in the Bay Area, where they are residing at a safe house with Jaycee's mother, Terry Probyn, and their aunt, Tina Dugard.
"They are both intelligent kids but they are very naive about the real world," a Contra Costa Sheriff's Department officer told the UK Sun. The girls "have no concept of math, geography and history or anything outside their town of Antioch."
The girls, according to officials, are being fed just as they were before, one of many efforts experts are taking so as not to make an already-traumatic transition that much harder.
"They are being given TV microwave dinners and their favorite meat loaf meals," police said. "They have never had fizzy drinks, so they get cooled water, which is what they are used to."...
