Jaycee's Walk

It was an early morning of sunshine in October 1991 the eleven year old Jaycee was getting ready to go to school.Her beautiful blond hair was tied in a pony tail and she had a pink wind breaker and

white snickers as she was heading up the steep hilly road of Tahoe ,California to catch her school bus.Her mother already left for work and her stepfather was watching her from the garage till the bus come.But suddenly a car came and someone grabbed Jaycee and pushed her inside and left and the whole little town of Jaycee became upside down.Jaycee was kidnapped by an unknown person in an unknown world which no one knew.Her parents world changed and they just lived beacause they couldn't die.Her little sister Shana just didn't know anything except for not seeing Jaycee anymore.After eighteen years she has been found with two kids one is eleven the other is fifteen.Philip Garido kidnapped Jaycee and held her captive for somany years mentally and physically.He raped her and had two kids from her brainwashed her in such a way that she never tried to escape the prison of her captor.After eighteen years when she was found and the whole world is making a happy homecoming of Jaycee we just have to take few minutes to think that have we found the same Jaycee who was lost eighteen years ago or a totally a new person?Her parents found a solace by getting back Jaycee physically.But they lost her childhood and youth which they will never get back again

In Asia specially in countries like India there is a ritual of arranged marriages.Because of economy and social culture girls are treated differently specially at certain age when the whole society and family become concerned for the girls marriage.Families go through matrimonial news and friends to find a groom for the girl.Astrology,race,caste jobs they try to find a combo in the groom except the character which definitely stays unknown untill they know the person.Girls get married at an early age and try to get blended with the husband family.Sometimes they do and sometimes they dont.But the society are more fro towards girls who accept the husband family despite problems.After marriage they cannot return to their parent's homes and accept their new life as their destiny.Girls get lost in their journey of life and try to fit into a new identity with a new personality as a new person.Social culture become the captor of the real girl and try to create someone new in her.There are so many Jaycees in this world who has been captivated at an early age by society, culture,religion,and so many other things.But atleast Jaycee Duggard found her real home atlast to her long lost family and hopefully the recovery process will bring them more closer.
