Teen Abducted By Teacher Is Acting Like Different Person; Family At A Loss

Patty Hearst Had An Ordinary Childhood

In stark contrast to today, when a billionaire’s child would be constantly surrounded by security and be whisked from place to place with a team of operatives at their beck and call, Patty Hearst had a fairly normal upbringing. She had four sisters and went to the Crystal Springs School for Girls and then the Santa Catalina School in Monterey. All the children were treated the same as their classmates. As each child was one of many heirs to the family fortune, it was felt that there was no particular threat to any of them.
