her being 17 but sounded like an 8 year old really messes with my mind about the life she grow up with
I was thinking the exact same thing :(
Sexual trauma is such a horrible thing
i thought she was so young before she said her age , i was shocked 😓
Yeah I thought she was like 10
@@tamara4478 when was sexual trauma ever discussed in the case?
She went from sounding like a little child to a strong woman. Tears. Shes a hero 😭
Yes - she truly is!

facts
How did this happen?
I saw an interview with the neighbors and they thought she was mentally challenged because she couldn't speak properly. Extremely sad story.
this case is the perfect example of “every child deserves a parent, but not every parent deserves a child”
What a good saying. I can't agree more
Dahmer had parents
Or a boat.
@@guts9160 and a strange appetite
This comment is a great example of comments shouldn't be constantly regurgitated on the same types of videos over and over again.
The fact that Jordan, a teenage girl who had almost no knowledge of the outside world and was deeply terrified of her parents finding her or the police turning her away, she actually tried to prepare herself in order to save her siblings by collecting the envelope, recording the abuse, and explaining everything to police. I’m so glad the police took her seriously and helped these kids, but Jordan is a true heroic young woman. I’m so happy she’s living a better life and has a successful career.
And yes, many thanks to the officer for not turning away, but understanding the problem.
Is she single?
For real. For someone who had almost no education and was probably somewhat brain-damaged from malnourishment, Jordan was incredibly smart to be as prepared as she was. Edit: I watched a documentary and she got advice from her sister! So Jennifer gets credit too 🙂 Jordan was still smart to even have the idea to get advice from her.
Cops in Texas didn't! The first child escaped nearly two decades prior, and Texas police returned her to the home without even beginning a basic investigation. She was imprisoned for another twenty years after that.
@@Pack_Watchshe may or may not be, but you surely are sick
I can't believe she's 17 at this time.. she sounds like a little girl,desperate to get help. Such a brave soul!
Her speech is very stunted
Unfortunately most of the kids were ABUSED AGAIN at another foster home, years later. This world sucks.
Nice original comment👌
@@christinalaw3375 wait really??? as if ppl wouldnt make sure that doesnt happen again...
i guess she wasnt allowed to school for a long time
The amount of information she didn’t know like, how to read street signs, sidewalks, medication, how to speak to people, it’s baffling. Yet she still managed to do all of that. The bravest girl ever. 😭
Yes love her
Shes truly a hero !! Not all heros wear capes. This girl truly did God's work here.
Her voice and speech pattern definitely got my attention when she said she was 17. Sounded like a little kid.
She's ingorant NOT STUPID. Not having the opportunity or a teacher to educate you doesn't make you stupid, it makes you ignorant. Being taught and not understanding doesn't make you stupid, you might need it explained a different way to make it "click" for you.
@@killingmonkey11 when did I call her stupid ? I’m confused ???
She's so sweet. Diane offers her a tissue and she says "Thank you so much" as if that small act of kindness is still alien to her. Thank God she had the amazing courage to get out. ETA: confused Diane Sawyer with Barbara Walters lmao
@@islaptyadadsbooty I know, that's what I'm saying. It's an obvious polite thing to do to any of us, but it seems like Jordan was particularly touched by it because she didn't grow up experiencing even simple kind acts
Diane...that's Diane Sawyer...lol
@@discordye4825 🤦♀️ lol what a blunder. Thanks, fixed!
Huh? That's simply what a normal polite person would say. Guess people have gotten so weird that things like that stand out to them now.
@@cknorris3644 You think? I would have yanked it from her and shouted gimme! Or mine!
There is no way I could possibly understand why any parent would do this to their children.. It breaks my heart so much that they went through this.
Some people are just downright horrible. They don't deserve to have children. It's unfortunate, but they still exist😔
Some people are animals
My children are victims of child human trafficking! By their own father! And others! My poor babies! And police don't believe me! They think I'm crazy!
Lóplh My v4
THIS! And they continue having more 15 at that like when did you think to STOP if you hate them so bad
One thing about her that really stands out is how unbelievably polite and respectful she is during her 911 call. She's so sweet.
What you wanted her to yell in the phone? Of all the things u just got that part out of it?🤦
A lot of abused people can come off as overly polite because of the abuse they went through. She probably had to be polite and well behaved because if she spoke out of turn or raised her voice to her parents the abuse would have been more severe.
Yessss u can tell she is really sweet
@@zabiarayyan3530 stfu it is unbelievable that with her living conditions she was still absolutely sweet instead of cryin n yellin
@@amirbrown7477 Why would she be yelling!🤣🤣. What a weird’o u are!!
Crazy how she was 17 but sounded 10. How that isolation emotionally stunted her.
And some sick fucks will make it seem like it’s her fault and I’ll never understand that thought process. Probably cause there’s isn’t one behind it
Yeah my mom forced me to be homeschooled I talked to a friend THE SAME AGE AS ME that I haven't talked to in a few years she sounded like a teen (11) and I sounded like a 6 year old (11)
I was just thinking the same thing. She really did sound no older than 10. So sad. She’s definitely learning but you can still tell she didn’t learn to talk and didn’t learn social skills as she grew up like most of us. She’s doing a great job though. I wonder if she’ll ever be able to really trust anyone after this. Her own parents did this. The very people you’re supposed to be able to trust and completely depend on. The parents are freaking animals. Worse than animals really!
😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔
Instantly my thoughts! She sounded so young and innocent it broke my heart
My heart breaks for what her & her sisters must have gone through, but huge respect for the level of bravery she showed by coming forward and telling her story like this.
Brothers as well
she's so brave! Bless her.
How about her poor brothers having to endure that haircut like their father.
@@robertdemon3550shut up Robert 🧍♀️
Makes you think how many kids are out there in need of help.
I fully sympathize with and understand Jordan as a violent father in North Korea and as a person who risked his life to South Korea to find freedom and escape dictatorship and tyranny. My father was a Navy officer who often beat four brothers and my mother, including me. When I was young, I was forced to perform in the card section of the system propaganda, and if we made a mistake during practice, we were chained like Jordan and beaten severely by soldiers. I live in Siheung, South Korea (near Seoul), and here in South Korea, it is heaven. I even feel guilty because I feel like I'm living too rich in South Korea. Like Jordan, I secretly watched South Korean videos in North Korea and opened my eyes to the outside world, and that's when I decided to defect. When I was watching the drama, I saw South Korea so nice that I thought, "Why am I living here like this?" Unfortunately, however, I still left my two brothers in the north, and my mother was shot dead by Chinese soldiers while crossing the Yalu River. Please don't let Jordan's brothers suffer from the sadness of family dissolution like me. Like Jordan, when I walked on the streets of Seoul for the first time in South Korea, I felt that this was heaven. I hope that the deification and brainwashing of Kim Il-sung will be lifted and that freedom will be settled in North Korea. North Korea is the California horror house and is expanded to the national level. There could be mistranslation, so I will write down it with Korean at the bottom. Thank you for reading. 저는 북한에서 폭력적인 아버지와 독재와 폭정을 피해 자유를 찾아 목숨을 걸고 남한에 온 사람으로서 Jordan을 전적으로 공감하고 이해합니다. 아버지는 해군 군관으로 저를 포함한 4명의 형제와 어머니를 자주 구타했습니다. 제가 어렸을 때 체제선전의 카드섹션공연에 강제동원 되었는데, 연습도중 우리가 실수하면 Jordan처럼 쇠사슬에 묶여 군인들에게 심한 구타를 당했습니다. 저는 헌재 대한민국 시흥(서울 근교)에 살고 있고, 이곳 남한은 천국입니다. 남한에서 너무 부유하게 살고 있는 것 같아 죄책감마저 듭니다. 저의 여동생은 같이 탈북하는도중에 중국에서 잡혀서 다시 북송되었습니다. 아마도 그녀는 정치범수용소로 끌려가거나 총살당했을것입니다. 저도 Jordan처럼 북한에서 몰래 남한 영상을 보고 외부에 눈을 떴고, 그때 탈북을 결심했습니다. 드라마를 볼 때 남한이 너무 좋은 것을 봤는데 '내가 왜 여기서 이렇게 살고 있을까'라는 생각이 들었습니다 하지만 안타깝게도 저는 아직도 두 동생을 북쪽에 두고 왔고 어머니는 압록강을 건너던 중 중국군이 쏜 총에 맞아 돌아가셨습니다. 부디 저처럼 Jordan의 형제들이 가정해체의 슬픔을 겪는일이 없길 바랍니다. 저도 Jordan처럼 남한에서 처음으로 서울의 거리를 걸었을 때 이곳이 천국이라는 것을 느꼈습니다. 북한에서도 김일성 신격화와 세뇌가 풀리고 자유가 정착되기를 바랍니다. 북한은 California horror house가 국가단위로 확장된것입니다. 오역이 있을수있어 밑에 조선어로도 써놓겠습니다. 읽어주셔서 감사합니다. 🇰🇷 🇰🇵
you are very brave. thank you for sharing your story. but also never feel guilty, you deserve all this. sending prayers
@sholalove6478 Thanks so much for sending prayers. Why I'm feeling guilty is that my little sister was captured by police in China and sent to North Korea again. Maybe she was taken to a political prison camp (as horrible as Auschwitz) or shot. My siblings can't enjoy a happy life like me. And so many people are still suffering from starvation and tyranny. These things became big traumas (When I was a student, I saw public execution, a person being shot in the head and shot by soldiers. They fired 100 bullets, and the solid finally became liquid. Because they watched South Korean videos.) But, I think I'm living a pretty good new life here, and I hope that Jordan could live her new life in a brilliant way, too. To ease the guilt, I send some of my earnings to North Korea(If I deposit to the Chinese or Russian bank, the broker remit money to North Korea). And South Koreans sometimes praise myself for being sincere. Seoul has a lot of lights and rights!! Have a nice day.
@@user-hm3ii6ft8y North Korea is horrible. It is unbelievable how such a country can exist in the 21st century. I'm happy you managed to escape and live a normal life. Much love and blessings for you and your family ! ♥️♥️

I never get sick of watching this footage. The innocence in her voice and the confusion about questions. Then, a beautiful young lady is on the couch with the ABC. She gets emotional and so do I. Jordan, you are the definition of a hero.
I thought she was being a drama queen.

She’s clearly been through some stuff.
@@alliewycoff2818 Allie, did you read my comment? I called her a hero, not a drama queen. Anyone who has been through what she went through for 17 years deserves respect and admiration. Her and her sister definitely have mine.
I was responding to Terry Townsend. Your comment was very sweet and I completely agree. I didn’t mean to tag you!
You can hear how young she sounds. She's 17 but her speech is like that of a 7 year old. Bless her heart. I'm glad she had a happy ending.
So sad…
This is the comment I came to read.
She may have so much trauma that she has stayed mentally as a child. More than likely reversions
@@yayastedi Cheers Geoff.
A happy ending? bruh she has the development of a seven year old. life is going to be hell. there's nothing happy about this.
The fact that she did not even sound 17 on the phone shows how sheltered from the world she really was. The last 4 years have really helped her.
I was thinking the same thing.
Um not really. Social Services screwed them over
She wasn’t 17 she was 15
@@josephozturk3288 no. Watch the whole thing. She was 17. 21 when the segment was filmed.
people with trauma often sound like children - even when they are 40!!!
These poor babies. 17, probably never been to school, never left the house, house is disgusting, no baths. My heart breaks for these kids. Thank god Jordan took the risk to help herself and her siblings. Real hero. She even has older siblings between the ages of 20-29 and none of them could help or tried. Absolute angel.
so just because they’re over 20 you think they should be the ones to do it? weird
@annaw1852 well becuse they are the adults and should be the bravest
@@mgachatv To escape by a window, they probably needed someone smaller. Also, the adults children were probably the most watched by their parents, because they were adults. They have been abused for more than 20 years, more than 20 years of torture, let's not judge them, please.
@@mgachatv you don’t suddenly turn into an adult and if they lived it longer it’s worse
@@annaw1852yes you would think they’d be more likely to do it. idk what you’re trying to act smart for lmao
They used the internet at times and saw cops and real shows so he had an inkling of reality and Jordan is so beyond gifted. After being captive from day 1 of birth. She’s so brave. I just wanna hug her. I hope she doing okay now. I can only imagine having to adjust to the world
Jordan, Jennifer & Jeanetta all have social media accts! Jordan has 925,000 TikTok followers, Jennifer 57,000! Jordan attended a Cosmopolitan event in West Hollywood, she looked fabulous on the walkway! Jordan just posted pics n vids if her 1st professional photo shoot!
I just want to give her a hug. She saved every one of her siblings lives that night. She’s a hero
Really, it’s like turning against her whole world she have been used to and ever known ,, not knowing what’s the reality really .. those angels deserve much more :(
She deserves a lot more than a hug. She deserves a loving family. Not only her but also the rest of her siblings.
Indeed!
Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️! Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget! So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen.
Except 5 of the children got put into a different home where they were abused again and the funds raised for them are not being given to them
The fact that she was 17 years old and was so childlike from being so sheltered from the world broke my heart

@lilith lilith there is a reason why her voice is like that. Its often a sign of an abusive home or some traumatic experience that leaves young women frozen in time.
I know - her sheer innocence was overwhelming, touching and frightening.
@@FadedDream6969 yeah women who usually speak in a child voice are often sexually abused , they never leave that mindset or headspace. they can’t move on because it’s so traumatic. and also could be her not socializing with anyone and never going to school , so her speech never developed much.
“Have you seen the gun?” “No, but they’ve talked about it” That made my heart sink. The idea that these people have “talked about” a gun with their own kids is absolutely disgusting.
May the children and the 29 year old heal from this. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Those adults are the pus that feeds on pond scum!
She was probably eavesdrop ing. Over heard the conversation.
She really proves that no matter how bad you think your life is, there are always people with hard/worse ones that are pushing through, and you should too Edit: I’m not tryna say she has a worse life or anything just that she survived near death experiences by perseverance.
@@dr2599 yes I agree with everyone, but in my case I have a fear these sorta things so I couldn’t help but share how I feel. Thanks for you feedback though
A person with a traumatic life does definitely NOT prove any point about what another completely person may be going through. Trauma is not there to guilt trip any human ever, stop using peoples stories to undermine other suffering. Dios santo

@@shelbygrimm6281 They need to be precise and get the right information. Their job is not psychological help. Her job was to make her keep talking until help arrived. If she hung up because the operator was talking to much it would be game over and then she would be definitly be at fault.
She acted like that because she most likely never used a cellphone and it's very confusing to hear nothing at the other side because you have no feedback, no idea if they are still there. It's quite sad how she was 17 and did not knew the most basic things of civil life. "I don't know what medication is". Jesus, think about that phrase.
I am one of 21 & was never heard. More is never better. Quality vs Quantity !
It’s so scary to think about how many people are locked away in homes who we may never find out about. It’s terrifying.

The first time I heard it I was so engrossed in it that I accidentally kept drinking the Mountain Dew bottle I peed in over and over.
She's so panicked and overwhelmed with adrenaline that she's struggling to breathe and trying to collect her thoughts while she's talking to the operator and the cop. And just the fact that she's apologizing for "talking too much" in a situation where you HAVE to tell every single detail and keep talking is so revealing of how she's been treated.
Or experienced a rude 911 operator.
The 911 operator was extremely unprofessional, when she asked ‘can you hear me?’, ‘Did you get that?’ She didn’t even say yes and her tone when she said ‘How are they abusing you?’ sounded to me like she couldn’t be bothered and didn’t really believe her and then the officer who jumped to conclusions about her being on medication and offered no reassurance whatsoever.

@@Aegeanexe I don’t think I am, they showed no empathy or compassion, even she said the officer just had a stern attitude and a straight face the whole time
@@j.c7719 completely agree with you. I was getting a little irritated on how she was communicating. Showing even a little empathy and reassurance comes a long way in terrifying times like this. Especially for such a young girl.
You can tell from the phone call, that she's trying as hard as possible to be clear, to make sure she's heard properly. It's like when you get that one opportunity

Such a heartbreaking story. I’m so happy they were saved. Now we have to hope the system doesn’t fail then again.

Jordan is so strong. She gave everything to save her sisters. She is a really good person❤️

@@rayc9899 if you watched the recent report on them, some of the kids are still in an unsafe situation. It’s so sad bc people need to answer for the disappearance of all of the money and supplies donated to help these children get acclimated to life. They have no real survival skills and they’ve been thrown out and told to fend for themselves. Even the 33-year old needs help bc she’s never been out of the house and she doesn’t know how to take care of herself. You hear Jordan say, “I’ve never spoken to anyone before”. She didn’t know what a sidewalk was and she gave her zip code as her address. These kids will need years of help.
Tf does not talking to anyone have to do with saving her siblings lmao. Like if you getting abused you can always call the cops. Not the hardest right?
@@practicalcucumber1395 you’re right. It’s not hard, if you have basic knowledge of how the world works, but these kids have never spoken to anyone outside of their family. The only reason she even knew how to call 911 was bc she snuck a video of the tv show Cops and they said, “call 911 if you’re in trouble”. If she would not have seen the show, she wouldn’t know how to call the cops, at all. This is not your ordinary 20/33 year-old with basic communication skills. They have no life or survival skills bc their parents kept them in the house at all times and only the older kids were allowed phones with basic features, so the parents could call them while they were out drinking and partying. She stole the phone to help herself and her siblings escape the constant abuse and chains.
Growing up in a horror abusive evil parents, from a early age's stood up in hellish realm. A heart ♥ containing a responsibility of saving her little siblings. She is a truth hero, Amazing how beautiful she is. God truly is good!
This young woman is really brave, not just because of what she did to save her siblings but also that she went so far out of any personal comfort zone into a world she never knew. In addition that she is as sweet natured as she is makes her incredibly wonderful
Wow her speech improvement from the date of the call to this interview is absolutely insane, shows how smart this girl really is and what abuse can do to someone. Also look how beautiful she is, doesn’t even look like the same girl from the video of her talking with the officer.

to the very few people making fun of her voice, she didn’t go to school. She was locked in a home not allowed to go out often. My grandma lived in one of these houses so we are so grateful. Because of her bravery, I exist.
@P S Her voice is that of your standard severely abused by neglect child. They even develop their own words and languages amongst each other to avoid the wrath of abusive parents. Not very powerful IMO. Maybe because you just don't know this is a common trait among people who are abused.
I love her voice. I don't want to call it "childlike" because I know she's a grown woman, but she just sounds very kind to me. There is a gentleness about the way she speaks.
@@Kristine_202 It's childlike.
@Monique Hoyt Absolutely nothing wrong with it other than there are predators who can identify these people and further abuse them. No joke... it is sad and pathetic t he people we share this planet with. What is really sad is it seems like these victims were further victimized by the system after this incident. The state doesn't have a heart...people who trust in the state are insane.
There isn't anything wrong with her voice. I like it very much actually. It sounds so pure.
It’s absolutely incredible and heartbreaking that Jordan had the courage and the bravery to fight for herself and her siblings, being raised in a home like that their whole lives. The fight that that girl has in her soul is innate, I wouldn’t like to imagine if she wasn’t born with the character she was.

Yes.
Grab a piece of mail?
@@Stevwkql because your address is always on your mail k to see her address she took mail
right.
The fact that she referred to the policeman as a ‘stranger’ instead of a ‘cop’ screams innocence and I cannot believe she had the prowess and instinct to carryover a conversation with the brass without ever having done so before- truly courageous!
Could you please explain me why “cop” is a bad name for policeman? (Sorry, I’m not an English native speaker)
@@LoRfan88 I think it’s not that “cop” is a bad word, (I don’t even think it’s a bad word at all, just slang) it’s because she apparently didn’t know words for other people besides “stranger.”

when she said on the phone that she was 17 i started crying because I thought she was around 10 based off of how little she knew and the way she spoke. that shows how horrible her childhood really was
She was pre-pubescent.
Me too.
@@devdixit2440 17 isn't "pre-pubescent"...
@@roachmorphine8018 The definition of "pre-pubescent", contained within the word itself, is "pre (before) pubescence (puberty). Anyone who hasn't yet reached puberty, is in the stage before pubescence, i.e. "pre-pubescent". Get it? In a normal adolescent, 17 would not be pre-pubescent, puberty typically starts around 12-14 in females and around 13 in males. However, this girl would not have reached puberty at that age, and would have had severely delayed pubescence. Because of the malnutrition she endured, her body would put off puberty until it was able to sustain it. Therefore, she hadn't yet reached puberty when she escaped and was "pre-pubescent" (pre-puberty). That's why she sounded like a little girl instead of a normal 17 year old female. If you would like further explanation for why this girl would not have reached puberty whilst living in her parents home, I can explain it physiologically.
@@roachmorphine8018 You might need to look up what malnutrition does to a young female's development. Or not you know....
They literally set her development back years. It's so damn sad and I'm just grateful to see how brave she was. This couldn't have been easy

@@krisl2838 what do you mean by child like courage?
@Polka Dot are you saying that children are more brave than adults?
@@oscar1081 they certainly are in most cases much more brave than adults because they still lack the thought of consequence of their actions, which btw is a part of everyones development that has to be learnt and comes after about 2,5 years of age. Only then you can really start to teach logical consequences to them. But then bravery can be shown in different ways, in which adults will probably take the upper hand. I learned this in my studies and it's very interesting! The development of a human being may it be the physical or psychological, makes one understand humans and yourself much easier!
She is incredible. I can't even fathom how brave she is to face all this without any knowledge of the world outside.
I made conversation with a young female at the grocery store yesterday. When I got in my car it clicked and I knew it was Jordan. She seemed to be doing well acclimating to life and was such a lovely young woman.

She sounded so grown up and so mature and yet so childlike and so innocent.
Lmao fax
@@ismaaeelfirdausi362 why “lmao?”
Yeah. I picked that up. Wow hey
I have dealt with similar cases but nothing this severe. She sounded child like because her growth had been stunted via lack of food, sleep and was abused during the child's formative years in short. Once from the nightmare, she prospered with adequate nutrition, nurturing and able to sleep soundly for example. Her I.Q. most likely increased 20% in perhaps 2 years.
she is grown up mature and brave, but i highly doubt they were given much schooling or opportunity at full conversation, so if she hadn't grow up in the outside world, she probably wouldn't be used to the subtilties of conversation etc.
One of the bravest things a person can do. I cant even begin to imagine the fear and adrenaline she was going through in that moment. Absolutely terrifying and makes my heartbeat faster just imaging myself in her shoes. What an amazing person
The way she said sorry when she couldn’t say anything because she was too scared. I feel so bad for her siblings and Jordan. I hope there aren’t any more families like this, torturing their own children. ❤❤❤
God, that poor kid. She’s still so traumatized. Listening to her 911 call is like listening to a small kid try to call 911. They stunted these poor kids’ growth-physically, emotionally, mentally. She was so brave, all just trying to save her siblings.
Those horrible monsters made them developmentally delayed from the abuse and malnutrition
right? I was so surprised when they said she was 17
How can you be this evil my lord I have 3 boys and our princess they are our world when they smile at you gosh melts our hearts …Like you live to make your children happy ..They are so innocent they are dependent on you and then you as parents to do this my gosh I can’t even imagine 💔💔💔💔😱😱😱😱😢
@@elanw4973 Exactly and I forgot her bothers and sisters were in their 20's, it's unimaginable.
The two sisters who were interviewed explicitly say at the end of this episode not to say “oh poor them etc” but rather to think of and refer to them as strong and brave- all of them, all of the kids… you can watch it on Hulu. The siblings are all online and can read any and all of these comments… in the future maybe only use uplifting words when referring to them and any other survivors of abuse- like “God, that brave kid.- these resilient kids’”. I’m coming from a place of respect- I’m not at all trying to shame or be rude to anyone.
Can't believe how cruel some people are. Their own children. They had it worst than mine
It's happening right now to my children! They are victims of child human trafficking! Police doesn't not believe me!
It's amazing how wonderful of a person she became despite her parents and upbringing
A young man in the comment section below referred to Jordan as an airhead? Please keep in mind, she was also held in captivity for all her 17 years of life. She never had proper schooling, was chained up herself and never even had a conversation with a stranger. Overall, her ability to surpass that including her courage to contact the authorities is far from being an airhead. To think she didn't even know what medication or pills were. What is sad is the people that jump to a conclusion without filtering what they actually post. This young lady will go very far in life. Thank God!
They also point out later in the interview that Jordan finished high school in a single year and described her as a fast learner. She’s definitely intelligent. The poor thing was just so horribly stunted.
that dude would be the only airhead. Not many could survive this situation and rescue all their siblings. She's a flipping hero.
That young man has spoken loudly about his own moral ineptitude to everyone here. To look at someone who has been so courageous in the face of extreme abuse and respond in a way that expresses dominance - that’s what the David Turpins of the world do.

@KEENG LOUIE I mean, "hands down" *is* a phrase that means something, but it's nonsensical here
@KEENG LOUIE now ya know that it is. A simple internet search will confirm. 🙃
She exposed EXACTLY why abused people hesitate to speak up. The 911 operator and policeman show no emotion and grill her with questions and put her on the defensive. She is NEVER assured by the 911 operator that if she was indeed abused, she would not be sent back there. I called 911 on a violent spouse. I wish I hadn't bothered. They were worse than useless. We are told to report. But there is little protection and very often the abuser flips the story so the abused ends up in trouble. The system is broken. Bravo to this girl for her perseverance and bravery.
Exactly what I thought. I would not have called because I would not think they would be live me. In many cases they arrest, harass, demean, do not believe, the victims. Put them right back w abuser usually. This is a RARE case that they actually helped her & believe her. Beautiful girl. I'm so happy she got away. Only wish this happened more often because the system is a complete joke!!
If she didn't have the photos as evidence for the abuse the policeman would most definitely take her back to the horror house thinking she is mentally ill and run away. Please listen to the kids people
This was further proven by the police cam footage of Brian Laundrie and the whole Gabby Petito case. They clearly mishandled the domestic violence situation
Dude, that’s how 911 dispatchers always sound. They’re specifically trained to remain calm in these situations and keep the person on the other end talking for as long as possible so they can reach them. What did you expect the woman to do? Just start saying “that’s awful! That totally sucks!” ? They are also not the police, they can’t assure you of anything other than the fact they will SEND police. Seriously, just listen to any other 911 call about a murder and it will sound much the same as this.
Just like on 9-11-2001 !!! The 911 dispatchers are DISGUSTING!!!! They should’ve been fired !!! Mean ASSHOLES
She is so sweet. Thank God she is okay
every time someone is asked to recount a story, it is retraumatizing. In the 911 call she seemed so calm and collective, talking clearly, but you can see the emotion and anxiety that was present when she retells the story. Brave young woman. I'm so sorry this ever happened to her and her siblings.
This is so sad. That poor girl. And being 17 and not knowing you're supposed to walk on the footpath not the road?!

I think what gets to me most about this is that as much as she personally suffered it was more about saving her siblings to her. Like that was what gave her the courage and motivation to escape, not her own suffering but that of others. It’s truly amazing how someone raised in those conditions could have such a huge heart. I don’t wanna sound too sappy but to me she is one of the most beautiful human beings from the inside out and the absolute definition of a hero. Instead of breaking her spirit the parents unknowingly created their own kryptonite and you love to see it! 👏🏻
The absolute innocence with which she stated off her zip code number thinking it was address just made me cry uncontrollably. There is no way I would have been this brave in her situation.
In an Inside Edition clip of the 911 call, Jordan was asked if she was home schooled, her response: "No, we don't do school. Our mother tells people were private schooled & she has a fake private school set up but, we really don't do school. I haven't finished 1st grade & I'm 17"!!!

I would’ve been more brave. I would’ve staged an entire escape for me and my siblings. Picked the chain locks and sneak around the halls and get out, like fucking Assassins Creed. I would have had all 15 of my siblings, single file line running down the street while chanting “left, left - left, right left! I don’t know what I been told, but it’s pretty dark and really cold!

I used to provide care for an elderly woman, who had a successful career as a business woman and a nurse. Her husband passed early. They had the chance to adopt, which she was still thinking through on telling me the story. She always felt those kids would be too broken and she wouldn't know how to help. That is so sad to me. Clearly, any care and love and direction would be better than these kids. It may give them a chance to propel forward. Let us all think again about fostering children, or adopting. Nobody should have to go through that.
