I agree with the title of this post. she seems educated, well spoken and knows what people are thinking about her. Her statement was much more dignified and well though out than I would have expected it to be. You have to keep in mind, that it has bene aonly about a week since she walked away from her ordeal. She is also 18.

She might be suffering from Stockholm syndrome, but perhaps the guy who kidnapped her was a nice guy. People are not monsters all the time, he did a bad thing.. but he might have been a perfectly good person otherwise.

She also mentioned something that I found very interesting, that he realised soon after that he had picked the wrong child.. that they both realised it. That sentence in her statement is quite telling and I think that as the case unfolds, it might come into a brighter light.
