Jaycee's Kids Seemed Normal: Neighbor

Daughters like Hannah Montana, attended birthday parties

Share

(Newser) – The two daughters Jaycee Lee Dugard had in captivity seemed like normal kids, a neighbor of kidnapper Phillip Garrido told CNN. Angel, 11, and Starlet, 15, were “polite” and “well-mannered,” neighbor Cheyvonne Molino said, who noted they liked Hannah Montana. Media reports “made it seem like these little girls were living like wolves or jungle kids in the backyard dungeon,” Molino continued. “They didn't give that visual to me."

Just two weeks prior to the Garridos’ arrest, the two young girls had attended a birthday party for Molino’s daughter. But others noticed things that seemed off about the girls: “They were not dressed like average teenage girls,” said a customer at Garrido’s print shop. “They were dressed very conservatively.”

so all you have to do in this world is bathe your kids and wash their clothes before anyone sees them and you're free to do whatever (and i mean whatever) you want behind closed doors? has this always been the case? god, when did we all stop caring? Reply
