Nothing like parents whoring out their daughters traumatizing experince for the entertainment of viewers.

MonarC · 10-24-2003, 10:04 PM

yeah it is sad that she is put on tv like this...

but maybe it can help her cope and get over this traumatic experience by talking about it.
She will be on Oprah too.

I don't think she was in a hurry to do a bunch of interviews the second she got returned to her family

They said she was severely traumatized and brainwashed - she needed time to sort it all out.

Ok, ya know, I think it's all great she's home and safe and everything, but I mean really. Other people have been kidnapped and gotten back home too. Ya never here about them.

MonarC · 10-24-2003, 10:35 PM

they seem to be having alot of fun with what happened.

Hollow · 10-24-2003, 10:39 PM

i should run away from home and come back 9 months later saying someone abducted me.. i could be a big star!

Nanny Fine · 10-24-2003, 11:04 PM

Sarah that is an incredibly rude and tactless thing to say. You have no idea what Elizabeth Smart went through while she was kidnapped and you say you should just run away and then be a star? You have a lot of growing up to do.

It's not true that "alot of people are abducted and returned home". Most children who are abducted are killed. It's extraordinary that Elizabeth was returned home alive.

Her family is not "whoring" her story for money. They have more money than they will ever be able to spend. I'm happy they are telling Elizabeth's story. It's inspirational.

Mr. Stefani · 10-24-2003, 11:07 PM

Didn't say they were whoring it for the money. More like for the release of their book.

cuz she actually made it back alive - months and months after being taken. Name one other child that that's happened to. ONE.
