Captive for 18 years - Jaycee Lee Duggard on More4

Topics

Did anyone watch this last night?

Always amazes me the power the kidnappers have over their victims so they make no attempt to escape.

Megans Law was mentioned as a reason why many child abusers are drawn to the town of Antioch which is where the kidnapper lived.

Phillip Garrido was by all accounts a religious nutter which is the same label attached to the kidnapper (Brian David Mitchell) of Elizabeth Smart.

It was Garrido's religious zealous which finally brought him to the attention of the police.

Watched the first bit and then the phone went and missed about 40 mins of it I was so annoyed, I'll try and catch up and watch the end somewhere!

saw it the other night.

stockholm syndrome, i think it's called, when the victim bonds with the captor.

police seem to have dropped the ball more than a one armed man playing rugby.

I watched it the other night.......................so very sad that she lived with her abductor for eighteen years and forged strong bonds. She was only with her mum for eleven years ....it must be incredibly heartbreaking for the mother.

I idd watch it and it's so frustrating and difficult not to ask why the police in such an area missed the 'tents' and how Jaycee didn't make any attempt to escape or cry for help during her use of a PC and gardening. It's all down to conditioning and the age she was caught/brainwashed etc? Or is it? I really don't know, the question is 'wil we or can we unless we've been thro' the same'? I really can't imagine the circumstances.

I've just watched it and was utterly flabbergasted by his claim 'that we would be impressed when we find out what actually went on in that house'.

How delusional is he? And his statement that 'all the bad things stopped after the birth of the youngest' came across that in his mind it made it all OK.

That comment seriously worried me because it indicated "bad things" happened to the eldest of the 2 daughters he fathered.

I know exactly what you mean about that comment! It just beggars belief that they focused mainly on the step father, even though not only him but some of her school friends had saw her being dragged in to the car, and how accurate was the artists impression they did of the female in the car they did from the step fathers confession, and yet it still took another 18 years to bring her home.

It must have been really hellish for the family and community, but I really felt for the step-father.

That was meant to say description NOT confession
