First let’s give all praises to God whom the Holy Spirit touch her mind,Police Woman,and her heart in revealing to her that something there was not right with that man and those children.Glory Halleujah!!!My heart goes out to this family her mother I can’t Imagine what’s she feeling right now.I live in Atlanta Ga.Parents please watch over your children.They are blessings to us from God, our duties as Parents are to protect in every way.When I heard of this story I had mixed feelings YES i did but to the mother I knew you were very angry and upset on that day Jaycee was abducted.What you must understand what the Devil meant for bad God step right in and turned it around for good!This evil doer was using God’s name in vain and now he will pay the ultimate price for it.And for our Justice Department please stop letting these people back on the streets,he should have never been granted probation,parole are whatever he had.The Congress President Obama should put a special Task Force together and search not only sex offenders but everyone homes,backyards,basements cause all the children that are missing are probably kept in hiding just like Jaycee was.

We can only imagine all the work this family must go threw to begin to heal..Lets just all pray for this family. I heard they are setting up a trust….so we can all help by sending a donation. This family needs space…time and our prayers. God bless all of them.

C&C
I realise what you mean , and I’m sure Cheryl does too.( think we are just opening up the debate on the possibilities)
There’s the crime of kidnapping rape etc , but the damage to the family group will go unnoticed or uncommented upon.
In the Fritzl case one of the major casualties was the break up of the mother/daughter relationship.
When you hear of the death of the victim , such as Sarah Payne or Holly and Jessica, the mothers and fathers are left with painful emotions , but also just the memory of their uncorrupted girls.
Lives are ruined by these bastards, and families too, it must take generations to recover, or return to a ‘normal’ family scenario.

Just in case you misunderstood… I really hope it all works out for them all and I am considering them all as victims.
I just think theres a lot more for them all to adjust to than just coming home.
In fact i would guess they’ll all go somewhere else for a while.
I’m also interested in how they all (Jaycee and children) viewed the abductors wife? was she a grandmother figure or a mother figure to them all? We know he saw himself as a ‘father’ from his bizarre interview from jail….. Jaycee was only 14 when she had her first child.
Baffling but I know from the problems that can occur when an adopted child finds its birth parents and this is even more complex. These children have effectively been locked away from everything normal all their lives and probably want to be back where they were and will be so scared and resentful. They also have to deal with fact that they were the result of rape.
Fingers crossed for them all of course. I hope in a way that we never find out because it SHOULD all occur behind closed doors!

It might be easier then if they forget the relationship labels, and they have to accept what has been, and none of it Jaycee’s fault, (the Stockholm Syndrome) and accept Jaycee’s children as victims too. After all they are also children of an abducted child.
Perhaps not looking at it from just the grandmothers angle, but Jaycee ’s , she has to be a parent and that now has to come before being a daughter. If her mother has trouble accepting the children, that shouldn’t become anyone’s problem but her mother’s.
And maybe it isn’t a problem

CoolandCalm, those children are also victims in this. Children don’t get to pick their parents nor should ever be judged by who their parents are. If your children had friends and turned out one’s father was a rapist or murderer - you’d feel any different toward your children’s friend?
I’ll wager you Jaycee loves her children very much and if her mother truly wants her daughter ‘back’ best she learn to accept the situation and try to love the children for who they are - innocent children and her daughter’s children - or she’ll lose her daughter again.
That mother has got to be a mother as a real mother is suppose to be. Unconditional love no matter what! And she can’t do that she’ll truly lose her daughter!

Its coming out now that the police weren’t as scrupulous in following leads as first thought, and missed a real chance of finding Jaycee 3 years ago.
I think all the family will have to accept that 18 years are missing, and build on what they have.
I don’t think anyone thinks it will be easy or indeed very happy, but at least they are alive.
Its said that the hardest thing is not knowing what has happened, perhaps it will be harder even to find out.
But lets wish them all well.

It would be nice to think it will be ‘happy ever after’ with everone bonding with each other but life isn’t like that.
Unless the grandmother is a saint of the highest order she will find it hard to accept it all without the maximum amout of family counselling over several years.
A daughter who is no longer 11 years old but an adult stranger and two adolescent granchildren who were fathered by her daughters paedophile abductor and rapist?
This is the stuff of nightmares far worse even than the initial abductiom.

The mother and daughter and grandchildren met under a supervised visit for their first meeting. Truthfully, one can only imagine the tears and holding close that mother and daughter shared upon their meeting. A daughter she finally accepted was dead years ago brought back to her. What mother would have cared if she had brought back ten children with her just to have her home and see her alive is all that would have mattered.
As for the children’s father - that young woman raised them herself as a young teen and no doubt the mother bond is there with her children. When one thinks on it, they are all she had in her isolation from the outside world. As for her mother’s reaction, what mother could ever turn her back on own grandchildren!
As for the step-father, who lived under a cloud of suspicion for 18 years, which was the reason for the breakup of their marriage, he was so overwhelmed with emotions last night when being interviewed on TV he had to stop talking.
Did anyone note in the first article that appeared in the papers over here that the Police never stopped looking for her for 18 years following up on every lead they’d receive.

Family man I suppose
August 28th, 2009 at 3:18 pm
why was he continually paroled after all these offences….?
August 28th, 2009 at 12:35 pm
Ah, ages revealed as 11 and 15
August 28th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
This is a nightmare , The guy in question does blood flow in his brain at all? what kind of father is he going to be? what kind of people will those children be? if possible those kids should be taking to hospital for flushing off that idiot blood on their system.
August 28th, 2009 at 12:02 pm
…and then there’s the stepfather - suspected all these years because he was the last to see her and lost his marriage to the mother as a result…..
I see that the kidnapper is trying to justify himself - if he has any remnant of sense within that sick brain, he should shut up now….
shocking stuff…

The children, no ages given, have had no contact with any other children or adults for their entire lives. They have not seen a doctor, they have not seen a dentist, they have not been to school. It will be much more difficult for them to ‘accept’ a new family. Jaycee is going home but to the children home is a shed

It is a real double edged sword ,or bitter -sweet pill, isn’t it? Perhaps the immediate euphoria will let them focus on all the plus points, and deal with the negatives as they arise.
Jaycee’s attitude to her children will set the pace, and hopefully they take after her in appearance , which will help their grandparents accept them.
But do any adult children resemble the small child most mothers fondly remember, and some still fondly imagine shouldn’t haven’t changed, and loudly complain about.
(I’ve committed the crime of being my fathers daughter….)

I can’t help thinking about Kaycee’s mother. Her daughter is now an adult she doesn’t know and she also has two grand-children who must be totally traumatised follwoing the life they’ve led. Grandchildren whose father is a serial paedophile and rapist.
What a double edged sword this reunion is going to be. I can’t iamgine how they will all deal with it.
