TIS, I've been following this story the last few days. That poor family. My mother said that she saw on the news tonight that the police had received a complaint that there were children living in tents in the backyard, but they never went past the gate. I haven't heard that, but can you imagine if that's true??

Anderson Cooper from CNN interviewed Elizabeth Smart and her dad about what Jaycee can expect to feel. While I appreciate the horror that Elizabeth experienced, she was missing for 9 months not 18 years, and she didn't have a child older than she was when she disappeared which was fathered by her kidnapper.
