Whilst I'm joining many in celebrating their escape I expect that the media are going to be reporting as many salacious details as they can. I hope people will bear in mind the caution given by previous survivor of abduction:

A very valid comment by Jacee Dugard. Thanks ga for posting it. It is worth remembering.

Yes, it's cringe-making to watch the news and think of the further violations these young women and the child will be subjected to because of the appetite of the press. Naturally, we all want to know how they survived their ordeal, but we don't need to know. Why not leave them to recover and think about what's best for them?

I suspect the best thing is for them to be out of the limelight. They need to be well supported by those who love them and by some expert professionals. Their families will need this as well.
