Jaycee: why so long ?

The questions start now into the enigma surrounding Jaycee Lee Dugard. First and foremost we need to have addressed the question of how Phillip Craig Garrido, 58, and Nancy Garrido, 55, remained undiscovered for 18 years? This event brings home to us with a jolt our need to be on our guard. This includes the authorities.

Regret ought to be on the lips of all those involved in this case. Police officers, probation department and neighbors. We all have a duty of care and protection towards our children and family, friends and neighbors. See search by people for some further thoughts on this subject: duty of care and protection.

My wife just said to me that at least we can find out who is a registered sex offender and where they are living in our neighborhood . And she thanked God that Ally Jacobs, Campus Security Officer, University of California, Berkeley, had the presence of mind to report Garrido to the probation services. It is only this that lead to these horrendous crimes being unearthed.

There are too many of these people in our society who could otherwise hide themselves and hide their background from us. We have a right to know who they are, where they live, what they do. It’s fantastic that we can now all do Instant Background Checks Online on anyone discreetly and efficiently. It is this that gives all of us the power and opportunity to carry out a duty of care and protection towards the ones we love.

Now the Probation Department and Police Department will both do a lot of self examination as to why their visits to Garrido’s property never resulted in the children’s discovery. I still cannot believe that visits by probation officers and the Police never resulted in the property, garden and grounds being thoroughly examined. Astounding.

What do you think? Shouldn't the Probation Service on their regular visits to these offenders homes check their house and backyard? Including checking their computers! In fact check for any evidence that they are not adhearing to their probation terms. Visit Which 'search by people' service works best? at People Search-Free Guide.com
