Last night, we spoke to Steve Hassan, a mental health counselor and a nationally certified counselor about certain types of “mind control” that are often used to control a person’s psyche.

I wonder if it has even crossed anyone's mind that those two young girls that they say are Dugard's daughters are really possibly MISSING GIRLS themselves. Who ever reads this please, investigate this possibility or bring it to someone of authority that can. Thanks so much.
I can understand Jaycee not attempting to escape while she was a child and her babies small but after she became an adult and her babies were not small any longer, why did she stay then? Did her abductors keep her and her children separate so she couldn't leave and take the children with her? Or did it just not ever occur to her that it was an option to leave? Looking forward to the mind control segment tonight.
