Jaycee Lee Dugard Found 18 Years After Being Abducted

Jaycee Lee Dugard was abducted when she was 11 years old as she walked to catch the school bus.  Her stepfather watched in horror as a car stopped beside her, and a woman grabbed her into the car.  He called 911 immediately, but the kidnappers were not found.

This week, 18 years after her kidnapping, Jaycee Lee Dugard has been found.  Her abductors kept her in the backyard, and Phillip Garrido, a sexual offender, fathered two children with her, ages 11 and 15.

This is an unbelievable story and so sad that this child was robbed of her childhood, her education, and of having any freedom or power over her own life for 18 years.  Phillip Garrido and his wife are in jail on kidnapping and rape charges.

Sadly, Jaycee’s parents separated due to pressures and emotions surrounding the ordeal.  Hopefully they can all find peace and start healing.

This is a horrible story of injustice against a young girl, and I hope they throw the book at the sick pervert who kidnapped her and basically made her his sex slave for 18 years.
