Angel Dugard: Everything About Jaycee Dugard’s Daughter
Jaycee Lee Dugard is a famous personality. She has risen to fame due to her infamous kidnapping which turned into a forced marriage until she was rescued in 2009. During the abduction, Jaycee welcomed her daughter Angel with her abductor.
Jaycee was a young girl who was having a normal life like any other teenager, but her life changed drastically when she was going to board a bus to school. Philip Garrido and Nancy Garrido kidnapped her and despite her stepfather chasing after the car that took her, he would not catch up with it.
The event turned into a nightmare for Jaycee’s family for at least two decades. Jaycee’s family was hopeful and they kept searching until she was rescued in 2009. During the rescue, Jaycee and her two daughters went on to reunite with her family.
Early Life and Education of Angel
Angel Dugard was born in 1994 to Jaycee Lee Dugard and Philip Garrido. Angel’s mother was very young when she had her, but she had no choice considering that she was abducted and raped several times.
Angel and her sister grew up under the care of Philip, Nancy Garrido, and Jaycee. Philip and Nancy took care of Angel like she was their own, but their early life cannot be described as normal, considering they were held captive against their wishes.
Garrido never allowed Angel and her sister to live normal lives or attend school. As a result, Jaycee took it upon herself to homeschool her daughters and ensure they have a normal life as much as possible.
However, since Angel and her sister were rescued, she has gone ahead to have a better life and even attended college like other children. Due to the high publicity of Angel and her sister’s lives her mother has always ensured that she reveals little information about her.
Jaycee has many times congratulated her daughters and the milestones they have made in life, but she does not post them. Jaycee has always loved Angel and her sister, and she wants them to live without bothering with people and their opinions.
Angel’s Parents
Jaycee Lee Dugard and Philip Garrido are the parents of Angel. However, during her early years, she often thought that Philip and his wife Nancy were his parents, while Jaycee was her older sister.
Jaycee was given full custody of her daughters after it came out that Philip had imprisoned her for two decades against his wishes and abused her sexually.
Jaycee’s Abduction
Angel’s mother was abducted on June 10, 1991, when she was headed to a bus stop. Her abductors’ car approached her as she was going to school and as she taught, they were asking for directions, she found herself forced into a car which sped off.
According to a district attorney, Nancy has scouted Dugard as a prize for Garrido. Nancy later revealed that Philip kept her in tents in his backyard as he raped her many times. He would go on to rape her several times during the week until 1997 when Dugard welcomed her second daughter. Dugard has written two books about the incident. She covers the events in her books especially Lost and Found: The True Story of Jaycee Lee Dugard.
