Definitely similar. Except that Jaycee lived like an animal in a shed or tent in the backyard for a much longer time and was forced to have 2 children by her disgusting creep of an abductor.

Compelling.Brilliant.Beautifully acted. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114436/

Its very similiar to the Shawn Hornbeck kidnapping.

Jaycee Dugard's step father saw her being snatched, he got on his bike and pedalled down the hill as fast as he could but he couldn't catch the car. Also Steven was more lured by Parnell to come with him rather than being dragged kicking and screaming to a car. He also went to school rather than living in some crude shelter in the back yard.

Several kidnapping stories have been mentioned on this board that are similar but really any kidnapping story where a child is taken and later found alive are going to be similar with a few differences. They get abducted, are abused physically, mentally, sexually and when they return they appear to be brainwashed and are emotionally damaged.

It's unspeakably terrible all the cases that happen of children who are kidnapped, kept like that for years, constantly sexually abused... so many sickos in this world.

And these are only the cases we hear about cause the children are rescued. Think of all the more cases there are, all the children who just die that way cause they're never found.

Something else REALLy needs to be done to tackle these cases. The current laws are simply not enough. Houses need to be searched when a child (and even an adult) is kidnapped.
