ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Jaycee Dugard

Jaycee Dugard was a little girl who was kidnapped when she was just 11 years old. Her kidnappers took her away from her home and kept her hidden away from her family and friends for 18 years. That's a very long time!

During all those years, Jaycee was living with her kidnappers who didn't let her go to school or play with other kids. They also never let her see her family again or talk to them on the phone. This made her very scared and lonely.

Thankfully, after many years, Jaycee was finally rescued and reunited with her family. She became a hero and her story reminded everyone to always be careful and stay safe. It's important to remember that we should never talk to strangers or go anywhere with them without asking our parents first. Every person deserves to feel safe and protected, just like Jaycee does now.
