One of the burning questions from Abducted in Plain Sight
Abducted in Plain Sight has left people with plenty of thoughts.
In case you need a reminder, the documentary tells the story of Jan Broberg, a girl who was kidnapped not once, but twice, in the 1970s by a family friend named Robert Berchtold, who manipulated her and raped her repeatedly. "My parents are such good people. We had an ideal childhood up until age 12, when whom we thought was our best friend kidnapped me and brainwashed me. We talked and communicated. My parents listened. There was no question that they loved us unconditionally and that they loved other people unconditionally. Which also made us susceptible, probably, to be manipulated, but those also were the things that saved me in the end," said Broberg.
As we saw in the documentary, Berchtold abducted, raped, mentally tortured Jan but she refuses to blame her parents for not stopping this predator earlier.
