Jaycee Dugard!

Play catch up with me:  I just watched this because of this.

And if you don't have an hour and a half to spare watching those (the second is much shorter than the first, I just love Michael Buckley.) this is the recap:  the first link is to Diane Sawyer's interview with Jaycee Dugard.  Jaycee was kidnapped in 1991 when she was 11 and was found by a couple of female police officers 18 years later when Jaycee was 29.  She had been kidnapped by a convicted pedophile and his wife (which is definitely a what the fuck kind of thing) on her way to school one day.  Obvies (because the guy was a pedophile) Jaycee was raped, a lot, by the guy and she ended up having two daughters with* him.  She wrote a book about her experience because she has trouble actually saying out loud what had happened to her (which is way interesting) and the book is called "a life stolen."

I have about a bazillion questions about this, which is why I am posting about it at all.

- So she had only had up to a 5th grade education when she was 29 years old.  I mean... what do you do with that?  Other than the obvious suck things that have been a result of this, this is just one of those extraneous terrible things resulting from being kidnapped for 18 years but... man.

- What the hell was the wife of the pedophile thinking when she decided to let her husband have a mistress in the form of an 11 year old girl?

- Why would that woman marry the pedophile in the first place?  He's a pedophile... meaning he's attracted to children.  Pedophilia is like a two-fold turn-off because 1. he's attracted to children and 2. he's not attracted to you, adult wife, because you are an adult.  

-  There isn't a question of where was law enforcement because if they weren't outside of the house looking for Jaycee, they were inside the house not looking for Jaycee.  So I guess that the only question left for law enforcement is HEY WHAT THE HECK

so many fails on so many parts.

*this is one of those situations where I question the preposition used in this phrase, to have children with someone.  There will be a post to follow this one on prepositions.
