Jaycee Dugard Sues U.S. Government

[Screen Legend]

Talk about how dumb the justice system is. :idunno:

..SAN FRANCISCO - Jaycee Dugard is suing the federal government for failing to monitor the convicted sex offender who kidnapped her and held her captive for 18 years.

The complaint filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco on Thursday says the failures by federal parole officers in the handling of Phillip Garrido's case are as "outrageous and inexcusable as they are numerous."

Garrido was on parole when he kidnapped Dugard in 1991. He fathered her two children while holding her captive.

Garrido and his wife, Nancy, are in prison after pleading guilty in Dugard's case.

Dugard is seeking unspecified damages that she says she will donate to her non-profit to help other victims.

Dugard and her daughters already have received a $20 million settlement from the state of California.

I say: Good for her.


Back story for those who didn't see the Diane Sawyer interview: During Jaycee's 'stay' officers, whether it be parole or child services, visited the house 60 freakin' times and found nothing wrong. They even talked to the poor girl!

it's clear that the ball was dropped, more than once on the handling of this ANIMAL [Phillip Garrado] & what kind of "person" was his WIFE? She must not have had a single maternal instinct in her twisted up body.

The fact that @ one point, Garrado's psychiatrist strongly recommended electronic monitoring & his P.O. refused b/c it was "too much a hassle"!? wowwww...& yet indifference & incompetence like this happens all the time in law enforcement & it costs people theire lives or makes more victims along the way.

I hope Jaycee gets what she asks for. She can never get the lifetime she lost @ the hands of these monsters & the law enforcement was clearly complicit to what happened to her.

Totally!! If they had kept a better, more careful, eye on them, this might never have happened.

And seriously!? How could they not see a red flag when they saw a child in their house after what had happened to them before they even took Jaycee? Honestly.

how can that woman even sleep @ night knowing what she did or sat by & watched happen to Jaycee <<smh>>

things like that REALLY bother me. You really can't trust ANYone.

I'd love to see what some of these posturing blowhard politicians have to say about this tragedy & the lives that were RUINED by it. They can bluster all day long about being "pro life"...but what happens after these babies they claim to champion are born & [though we'd certainly hope NOT] fall into the hands of monsters like these two?? where are the "pro life soldiers"? #IJS

Jaycee is NEVER gonna be the same again. I can't even IMAGINE how she must feel & what its like for her each day. I'm just GLAD she was able to even ESCAPE & now SOMEBODY should pay & since the two ANIMALS are behind bars where they belong, those responsible...or rather who SHIRKED their responsibilities should be held accountable as well.
