Elizabeth Smart was abducted from her home and held captive for 9 months by a religious fanatic. She was assumed dead but escaped her captors. She came from a conservative Mormon home and could have been ostracized, instead her family and community have become activists. http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=34838858
I love it when I see people take their personal tragedies and make them into a force for good! I really like what Elizabeth Smart has to say about how sex is taught, and how shame can't be part of it!... I wish TLC did reality shows about this, but people like this wouldn't be willing to be on their shows...
