SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Jaycee Dugard is suing the federal
government for failing to monitor the convicted sex offender who
kidnapped her and held her captive for 18 years.

The complaint filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco on Thursday says the failures by federal parole officers in the handling of Phillip Garrido's case are as "outrageous and inexcusable as they are numerous."

Garrido was on parole when he kidnapped Dugard in 1991. He
fathered her two children while holding her captive.

Garrido and his wife, Nancy, are in prison after pleading guilty in Dugard's case.

Dugard is seeking unspecified damages that she says she will donate to her nonprofit to help other victims.

Dugard and her daughters already have received a $20 million settlement from the state of California.

I believe I would do the same thing if the best years of my life were stolen from me. No amount of money will ever be enough for what they put her through. More power to you Jaycee!!!

Willy, I don't think ANYONE can even imagine what she has gone through. Put yourself in someone else's shoes before you judge her situation or someone else's.
