Great post. Spot on. I will add, to me it seems her lovey dovey posts that went through a medium such as email or IG were safe, and she could exhibit her desire to love and show her vulnerability that she was desperate to be loved. Based on her skeptical behaviors listed above, I feel she wasn't as 100% invested 'in the flesh', meaning in a real time face to face situation. I think the January kiss was experimental from her side, and from the safety of her phone she could play it out. I don't believe she ever intended to actually go this far with things, I think he pressed and preyed on her confusion and internal debate.O
With deep respect, IMO none of that is clear at all. Elizabeth Smart walked around "willingly" with her captor. Went to parties and didn't say a word. Didn't try to run when he was jailed for two weeks. Even lied about her identity when cops moved her away from her captors and asked her who she was. Was she "in love" with that monster and with him of her own volition?
Same thing with Jaycee Dugard. She had times where she had the physical freedom to run. And did not. She also lied at first about who she was. Wasnshe with him willingly?
The list goes on.
The fact that an abused and exploited teen is seen walking without chains with her predator does not mean she is some stubborn teenage delinquent trying to live out a romance with this old predator.
And to assume so is to totally discount and disbelieve family reports that: a) she told a sibling to look for her if she wasn't home by 6:00 pm. b) she kept excitedly pestering a brother to make sure he showed up for her confirmation that upcoming weekend. c) she hid from the predator on several occasions some just days before her disappearance, when he would show up at her work.
I believe all of that is true.
For many it seems hard to reconcile posts on SM she made about and to this guy, as well as emails they shared, and her behavior in grabbing belongings and going off with him, with a scared victim. How can both scenarios be true?
To me it's clear. Immaturity. Vulnerability. Manipulation. Exploitation. Control. Coercion. Abuse.
But didn't they release the sighting as soon as they got it and confirmed it? They got it Thursday.
Which supports the theory that this kid really didn't understand the reality of what the predator was intending. Why not bring many more clothes?
