Actress And Abduction Survivor Jan Broberg Offers Advice To Young Woman Who Was Raped And Abused As A Child
Actress Jan Broberg was kidnapped as a teen by her next-door neighbor and parents’ best friend, Robert “B” Berchtold – not once but twice – and was molested, raped, and brainwashed into believing they were supposed to have a child together in order to save the world. She told her story to Dr.Phil two years ago, and it’s now the subject of the Netflix documentary Abducted in Plain Sight.
TELL DR. PHIL YOUR STORY: Have a story in the news?
On Friday’s episode of Dr. Phil, Broberg offers a supportive voice to Savannah, a young woman who was molested and raped as a child and was involved in prostitution and sex trafficking as a teen. Savannah’s mom, who has a rocky relationship with her daughter, says she doesn’t know how to help Savannah overcome her past.
“I know where she’s been, and I also can see where she’s going,” Broberg says. “The wonderful thing about my mother was that she was a listener … and I think that was so key for my healing.”
