NEW YORK (CBS) - The two daughters of Jaycee Lee Dugard and Phillip Garrido cried when their father was arrested last week, according to Dugard's stepfather, Carl Probyn.

"They were attached to him. They cried when this happened," Probyn said. "It's like being on Mars" for Jaycee and his daughters.

Probyn says he has been in constant contact with Dugard's mother, Terry Probyn, and has been getting updates on the girls, who, he says, were shielded from their mother's hellish 18-year ordeal.

Up until a few days ago, Jaycee's daughters "thought Jaycee was their sister. They didn't realize she had been kidnapped," Probyn told the Early Show's Maggie Rodriguez on Monday.

The two girls, ages 11 and 15, have never been to school or seen a doctor, but associates of the Garridos have said the girls were always well presented and clean.

Despite the team of specialists who are counseling Jaycee and her two daughters, Probyn says it will be a while before they are acclimated into society.

"It's going to take a long time," he said.
