JAYCEE LEE DUGARD: WHAT A WONDEFUL SMILE!

People Magazine has shown the first public and exclusive photos of Jaycee Lee Dugard, 29 years. Jaycee said, “I’m so happy to be back with my family”, she told the magazine. "Nothing is more important than the unconditional love and support I have from them.” These amazing images are an inspiration to us all and convey hope to the families of missing children. I am both moved and inspired to see a photograph of Jaycee that is a testimony to how well she is coping now she is back with her mother and family.

Jaycee Lee Dugard was kidnapped in 1991 when she was just 11 years old. Jaycee’s nightmare started when she walked from her home in South Lake Tahoe, CA, the short distance to the school bus stop. All within sight of her home. Dugard’s stepfather, Carl Probyn, a few hundred yards away in the entrance to his house garage, watched helpless as she was dragged into a gray sedan by a woman. Carl raced after the car on his bike but couldn’t keep pace with them as the two people in the car shot off with Jaycee caught inside.

Angel, 15, and Starlit, 11, are Jaycee's daughters, apparently fathered by Phillip Garrido, 58; a registered sex offender who police say raped her repeatedly over the years. Jaycee and girls—who had never been to school or seen a Doctor—apparently spent much of their lives in the backyard and garden of Garrido’s home in Antioch, California.

It may come as a surprise to many to learn that Phillip and Nancy Garrido actually resided with his ailing elderly mother in a house owned by her. Why hasn’t more been said about her and her involvement in Jaycee’s abduction and false imprisonment? It’s as if ailing and elderly automatically absolves her of any possible wrong doing. Was she ailing and elderly 18 years ago when Jaycee was first imprisoned in her backyard? Has she been ailing and elderly every day of those 18 years? Was she ailing and elderly 15 years ago when Phillip Garrido spent 5 months in prison and Nancy fed Jaycee alone? Was she ailing and elderly while Jaycee gave birth without any medical aid to two babies.

Overhanging Mimosa trees, dense shrubbery and a high solid fence hid Jaycee’s, Angel’s and Starlit’s ramshackle world of tents and shacks from the outside world .It was in this cluster of cruddy tents and grubby shacks that Jaycee and her two daughters lived.

Altogether he and his wife Nancy Garrido face a combined total of 29 felony charges, including forcible abduction, rape and false imprisonment.

Jaycee and her two daughters are now living in seclusion with her mom, Terry Probyn, 50, and family. A family spokeswoman said Jaycee was riding horses, cooking meals and thinking of collaborating on a book.

We mustn’t let these wonderful pictures in any way reduce the nightmare that Jaycee and her family have suffered over the last eighteen years or in any way belittle the very challenging road to recovery that Jaycee will have to go through.

They do however give us all hope. The sort of hope that comes from seeing another human being putting on a heartwarming smile even after suffering 18 years of hell.
It is truly inspiring.

Lets all wish her well on her road to recovery.
