Dugard reaching out through JAYC Foundation
By Carlos Alcalá, Sacramento Bee
Kidnap victim Jaycee Lee Dugard has produced her first public service announcement in support of the JAYC Foundation which offers support to families that have suffered abduction or other traumatic incidents.
Dugard was kidnapped by Phillip Garrido in 1991 when she was 11 and held for years in his home.
The 20-second announcement, which you can watch below, shows Dugard asking people to act when they see something wrong.
I am very impressed by Jaycee starting a foundation to support families facing abduction issues. I am also proud of the SLT Community who always held hope Jaycee would be found, and staged a fantastic parade in her honor when she was found.
I have since seen kids left in cars unattended, and children on Hwy 50 – and I wonder how parents can let kids out of their sight these days. Please remember that it only takes a moment for your child to disappear or get hurt. Thank you Jaycee for returning the message to the community.
