(Newser) – The first photos of the junk-strewn California backyard "prison camp" where Jaycee Dugard and her two children were kept hidden for years reveal a chaotic hodge-podge of decrepit furniture, rumpled clothing, cat and sci-fi books, and a crude shrine to accused kidnapper Phillip Garrido, reports the New York Post. Naked Barbie dolls, a box of lice treatment, and makeup lay among the mess.
 

Jaycee's family members are currently struggling to cope with her "brainwashing," said an acquaintance. The young woman is "having a hard time connecting," said the friend. Jaycee "has strong feelings" for Garrido, said her stepfather. "She feels it's almost like a marriage." The first words Jaycee uttered when she spoke on the phone to her mother 18 years after her kidnapping were: "Hi, Mom, I have babies," reports the Daily Mail.

hmmm, you making fun of my name? and your name is Liberal Jesus? Bit of an ego problem you have there. And I do take that last statement back if you are Hispanic and Jesus is pronounced with and H. I hope for your sake that you never have to deal with a child molesting case in Cali. You would find that it is treated differently in that state and MJ isn't the only celebrity to walk on kiddie charges. From what I have personally dealt with, if this guy was in show biz or the son of a showbiz biggie, he would walk.

What's so tragic is this girl/woman's psyche is so messed up that she didn't even have the desire for a better life for her own children. I know it's not her fault. I'm just saying that she's been so psychologically altered that she doesn't feel the normal longings for a better life for her 2 kids than to live in what basically sounds like a pigsty.

What a Republican thing to say.

 
California • kidnapping • rape • sexual assault • child rape • Jaycee Lee Dugard • Phillip Garrido
