I have much respect for what Jessi has gone through to support the kids.
Same
Imagine if they hadn't come out first with their story.. the evidence matched up so much with what they went through.
Part of what they felt prior to the pleas was guilt imo. Because if they had convinced law enforcement, it wouldn’t have happened to the kids. I hope this closes a chapter in their own life. Jodi should never be free again.
@@tanithschneider3051Are you insane? Get help.
What exactly has SHE gone through for those kids? The actual victims here are two little kids, not her.
Awe Jessi I’m so sad no one was there for you to save you. You’re a such a beautiful human. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story with us.
Yes thank you Jessi for being so strong and being here to speak your heart! I love this young lady and inspiration for strength and hope facing the horrors she was exposed to.by Jodi. Jessi is a hero and if she writes a book I want to buy it and support Jessi.
Jesus saved her. It doesn't matter what they do to our bodies, Jesus will save our mind & soul.
Justice will be done and Jodie and Ruby will call the new Utah State Prison home.
@@laurieg673Oh please. Face reality. If there was a "god" or a "son of god" to save anyone why would he let children suffer and, and in many cases, die, in the first place? There’s no saviour in the sky.
@@downwithfaithI could not possibly agree with you more.
Surely Jessi's parents are accountable for allowing Jodi to torture her in such a disgusting manner? Such a strong girl to grow into a rational adult 🇬🇧
How was she tortured?
@@cartergomez5390 Watch her original interview on Mormon Stories. She went through the same as ruby's kids and said it almost killed her before she escaped.
There are states in America, where you can withhold medical care from your kids and when they die, you can simply say it was your religious right and you get away with it. So the parents had the religious right to send their daughter to her batshit crazy aunt.
This young lady is so intelligent, smart and strong. She teaches me how to handle my own abuse, 40 years of hatred, abuse and emotional trauma. She is a super human and yet so humble. She deserves happiness and all the blessings. Thank you Jessi.
You too deserve to be happy and blessed.🌹
hugs
You deserve all the support and love in the world too. This just makes me so mad, these poor kids having to cut short their childhoods because of the horrible things adults put them through! You deserve the same help they got, Jessi, like yourself, had to heal herself and you can see that strength in her character now as I am sure you also display in yours. You are strong, not a victim, a survivor like Jessi!
I agree, they were able to acknowledge that they felt upset “jealous “ that no one was able to save them. But still be grateful that these kids made it out. This young person is on a journey, we are so privileged that they are sharing it with us.
so glad to read someone getting inspiration from this amazing person. i would love her to be in a helping career or just volunteer. she can make so much justice.
Jessi hit the nail on the head in regards to the status of aggravated child abuse to a class one felony. Sentencing hopefully would then match the harm of this kind of child abuse. Thank you Jessi for your insight and bravery. All the best for your education and future occupation. May Ruby's children find strength and peace.
Don't forget Jesse did contact police. They did nothing, Ruby's daughter call police to check on her siblings. Again, the police did nothing....crazy.
Ruby's neighbors also contacted the police and they did nothing also.
It's the laws that tie the police officers hands... Study these laws, versus going off half cocked!
People did do things and spoke up. Her psycho Aunt was just a very “clever” manipulator…it’s just unfortunate that those who did speak up .. didn’t continued to push and speak out
I felt sick and angry when her lawyer made that statement. It was such a joke and complete lip-service for the parole board. From my history, I try to feel joy vicariously through these kind of outcomes in child abuse cases. Take care Jessi. You come across as a smart, thoughtful person. I wish you nothing but good things in your life.
Made me so angry too. And then he told the reporters Jodi pleaded guilty FIRST! But the prosecutor talked to the reporters right after that and said, no Ruby pleaded guilty FIRST. I don't know if it even matters, but it's still a mind game on the public! He's such a liar! And he had the nerve to seem angry for her! 😠
@@SilentThundersnow Tell it Silent! ❤
I hope the Sentence is harsh and not light she got away with this for far too long and ruin a lot of life
@@pliktl Please watch the Lawyer You Know if you think “all” lawyers are bad! ✌🏽
I love to hear what Jessi has to say, always. She’s so real about things, doesn’t sugar coat while still being tactful, and so on point with how she explains things and carries herself. I have so much respect for her.
So happy Jessi is contemplating a psychology degree! They are very talented and expressive and deserve so much success and happiness!
her aunt was a life coach look how she turne dout..imagine the psychoticness this broiad will teach
Nice to see an interviewer close with "Is there anything else you want to say?" and just let them have the floor.
That is the worst part, the abusers making the child feel like THEY are bad and deserve what is happening to them. Taking a childs trust and innocence is despicable and Jessi is right. You dont abuse children for years and suddenly feel the error of your ways in a couple of months because you got caught. I can see Kevin and ruby blaming the kids for tge divorce and rubys imprisonment. I really hope Kevin doesn't get custody.
agree
Sherri stated that "the abuse had gone on for years". So, that means Kevin's at least guilty of not stopping or preventing Ruby's abuse of six little kids! 🤬
And for not having their "career" anymore, filming their children shaving, and making their private lives Public then telling them it's their pre teens job to pay the mortage
@@teresathayn5170completely complicit
Mormonville Utah will probably grant custody to Kevin because he's a worthy priesthood holder, which equates to good father. 🙄
Jessi, it helps me to know how great you're doing. Thank you for coming forward. We all understand it isn't easy. You're a beautiful person in every way, and you're helping lots of people.
I’m sorry Jessi, the statute shouldn’t apply because you DID report and nothing was done. That’s just sad and disgusting. It wasn’t your fault that THEY chose to do nothing about Jodi back then, someone needs to answer for that!
ABSOLUTELY: Aggravated child abuse should absolutely be a first degree felony!! I agree (as an RN who grew up sexually & physically abused while others knew & looked the other way, & married to a narcissist/? Sociopath) your aunt’s testimony regret’s & concerns voiced by her attorney are total B. S.!She is only sorry she got caught & is going to prison! You are a strong woman and hopefully your example & support will help those children. (Gypsy Rose went through hell too. It all is coming to light and those who turned their backs will be held accountable at some point too)…the more public the better. Hopefully society learns!!! Hope you have a case. Federal & Civil & she never gets out on parole!!
You are very articulate and a good communicator🎉❤️
Instead of allowing Jodi Hildebrandt to sell her 5.3 MILLION Dollar home, they should award it to Jessi to do with as she pleases as restitution for all the people, including her parents and Law enforcement, who failed her when she asked for help!
Her home should be for Mormon teens that are abused
Very funny. Your logic is on par with Ruby and Jody. What a ridiculous concept. Also Jody will need somewhere to live when she gets out in a couple of years!
@@winstonschwarz1636 Hahahahaha! She won't get out in a few years. The prosecutors are recommending she serve the entire sentence. I wonder what it is in your heart to say that's on par with Ruby and Jodi. What a strange comment.
Didn't the judge already state a portion should go to the Franke children?
There hasn't been a court case for the money to be awarded to Jessi. That doesn't even make sense, Jessi's experience with Jodi was never proven, eve though we have no reason to doubt her.
Jodi’s own children must have their own traumatic stories 😔
According to Jessi the daughter changed her name so her mother Jodi could not track down her whereabouts…
Jessi’s interview on “Mormon Stories Podcast” is very informative, it’s a long interview. Jessi is very articulate, they explains their torture and brainwashing in a very compelling fashion. Hopefully, when the time comes, whomever sits on the parole board is cognizant of just how psychopathic and sadistic Jodi is…
I read that her daughter changed her name and has completely cut contact with the egg donor.
They do. Her daughter told Jessi that she can't be around her, because she will tell her the sky is yellow, and she'll believe her.
Oh lawd! I hope they're ok.🌹
I feel for Jodi’s children too, what they must have gone through
Dear Jessi … every time I hear you speak it blows me away. Your ability to look at things from every angle, to articulate so clearly & have come through the horrors you had to experience & to still be incredibly sound of mind. Your intelligence shines bright my love & I believe you will be an inspired therapist who will make an enormous mark in this world. I’m in the Uk but wishes I lived next door to you … much love from over the pond xXx
Good for you going to school.for Psychology! You can do it, Jessi! You will help so many!
Jessi, You have an intelligent, powerful and eloquent voice. Never stop using it to speak out. You will make a huge difference in the world. Wishing you many blessings and much success.
Jessi is one of the most remarkable person I've ever seen. So much strength, courage, intelligence and empathy. With all her psychpathic evilness, Jodi couldn't break them (Jessi). So happy to hear they are getting a degree in psychology. They are going to be a bad-a$$ psychologist. Keep on rocking, Jessi ❤
Lots of love from Germany
Agreed. Jessi is a class act with a lot to offer people. Certainly they can help others who have been abused, but they also have much insight to offer ALL of us. Thanks Jessi for all you do.
As scary and garbage as social media is, I'm glad that Jessi is benefiting from the positive side of it😊
Jessi- so many people are cheering you on! As a mental health professional I truly believe you would be an absolutely amazing psychologist. ❤
Jessi is so intelligent and articulate!!!! So brave! Wow.
Jessi, you are a very brave person.
Folie a deux.
Jodi, the psychopath and Ruby, the sociopath were a very, sadistic and dangerous duo…
Jessi, I have watched you on several programs and I have so much respect for you. I was a law enforcement child abuse investigator for 30 years who was extremely dedicated to doing the right thing. I am sorry that so many people let you down. I saw that numerous times in my career, and there are many children who suffer at the hands of people who are supposed to love them. I hope when people hear your story, they will dedicate themselves to always do what is right. I anticipate many blessings for you in the future and wish you a life full of happiness and success.
Thank YOU for what you do!! I know how hard it is. I've been a child protection investigator for 13 years and I've too seen some horrible things. It's everywhere!! Jessi has definitely been a force in this case.
Wtf 30 year ,you don't happen 😮 about child in USA
Jessi’s messages are helping a lot of people. Thank God Jodi was not able to break Jessi’s spirit, she is one strong young lady…she weighs things out in life that’s good.
Thank you to the interviewer for asking them some really warm questions about healing and connection through this tragedy.
Jessi out here spilling some tea. She sounds like an awesome woman and she will do much good in this world.
Jessi, so happy that you are doing well. I hope that your aunt's pleading guilty provides you with some feeling of justice/peace. It saddens me that due to the police and CPS ignoring your report over a decade ago that more people suffered from her delusional practices!
You are so strong and I wish you had been listened to and saved when you were young. No one deserves that! 💜💜💜💜💜
Bless your heart, beautiful girl. I was raised in a religious cult. I'm now a healer for a living. Trauma can be training - you will be a brilliant healer in your own right. MUCH love to you!
This young lady is such a well spoken and brave survivor..Thank you for coming forward and advocating for the victims
Jessi, you are so well spoken! Keep fighting the good fight!
Jessi is so well spoken and it's a real talent to be able to articulate all this so well, when she went through so much trauma at the hands of these people.
Excellent interview. I have much gratitude for Jessi's courage in sharing her story.
Unconditional love to you, Jessi. You're an amazing person & survivor! I hope you'll find the Healing that settles your heart!
This lady is absolutely incredible and so well spoken, for what she endured. I am in awe of how well she has come around this and the woman she is becoming. Keep it up girl and you are going to go far. Such a wonderful voice, continue writing and singing as well you have such a wonderful talent Jesse.
Ruby was already abusing her children on her UA-cam channel. People had already reported her abuse to CPS. Her own daughter called.
Ruby was not under any spell of Jodis, unless it was some fatal attraction outside of her parenting disabilities.
Ruby, deserves to be punished in full
Ruby had been in contact with Jodi for a long time. In not defending Ruby at all because she also did a lot of damage but i definitely do think Jodi was the mastermind
We're all rooting for you, Jessi. Wishing you the absolute best.
I'm so glad to see Jessi has grown up to be such a strong person, and hope they get some peace of mind knowing Jodi will finally pay for at least a part of the horrors she has inflicted on others. I hope Jodi get the max sentence.
Small but important correction:
Jessi uses they/them pronouns, so your sentence should read
"... they get some peace..."
Thank you.
@@abelis644 thank u I didnt know
I see something totally different. I see someone who is not comfortable at all with herself. I am so sorry for what she has been thru and hope she gets the therapy she needs.
@@marywatts6618 if you cant recognize the strength and resilience that it takes to relive and talk about past trauma then I’m sorry for the people in your life that have to deal with you.
Will those children ever be ok with their family still being so closely linked to the LDS church?
I love this woman. She speaks as I do. She not only speaks the truth, but articulates even the emotion in juxtaposition with the facts of these cases.
Jessi… you are a very lovely, eloquent and impressive person. Thank you for speaking out. I am glad you are being heard now but eternally sorry that you were not listened to before.
Jesse, I’m so sorry about the abuse you suffered. I hope that justice will be served for you as well. I’m glad she’s where she needs to be. Thanks for sharing your story.
The way Jessi is able to so eloquently articulate such difficult conversations is a gigantic talent within itself, nevermind the fact that they lived through & survived through more than any child or adult or freaking animal should ever ever have to!! ESPECIALLY AT THE HANDS OF A FAMILY MEMBER!!!
If you read this, Jessi you are the definition of making lemonade out of lemons or whatever that cliche saying is!! Hearing that you are choosing to peruse a degree with the goal of helping others is such an amazing gift that you are not only giving to humanity but also to yourself. Your ability to simultaneously hold multiple often drastically opposing perspectives is so difficult to do & incredibly rare these days. The way you are able to model that skill through your conversations in each interview for the world to see is valuable & inspiring. I know you said you continue to work on yourself every week with therapy, and the proof is clearly in the pudding *(thats my last stupid cliche I promise!!)* but you are incredibly special, you are powerful, you are bold & your intelligence shines through your words with everything you say.
Jodi is just very evil. OMG. Wow
PERFECTLY said❣️
💯💯💯
I hope the police are looking at all of Jodi's 'patients' and investigating them to ensure that any children in those families aren't being abused based on her treatment.
Jessi, you are simply amazing. Sending love and light your way today. ❤️
I hope you find a good, ethical attorney to help you bring a case against your evil aunt!
I love that Jessi continues to speak out on this. ❤ Best wishes on a bright future for them.
They are one of the most incredibly brave humans I have ever been aware of.
What an eloquent and inspiring young woman. A great career in psychology and counselling awaits her. x
@Jessi - you speak and think so clearly on all of this. Your words are so important. Keep speaking, keep going!! Congrats on returning to school, and I hope you find an ethical and very skilled lawyer to represent you in your case. Total respect.
Shes so eloquent, i feel so badly for what she had to go through. She is an excellent and sincere advocate.
This woman is so good in speaking in clear words. I am so impressed. And I see a bright future for her goals. I could listen to her all the time. Thank you!
Jessi you will make a wonderful psychologist, you have such empathy and compassion. Thank you for being willing to share your story, and to be a voice for these kids who don't have one and are in danger of being swept under the carpet like you were. I believe Jodi only taught ruby new levels of abuse, ruby was abusing those kids before she came along and so was kevin. They all 3 should be in prison. Best of luck to you in your studies and lawsuit should you actually pursue both, or in whatever you do with the rest of your life. I have no doubt you are going to have a wonderful life.
Very insightful comments, Jessi! Glad to hear they have decided to go back to school. I think they really have something to offer people.
Jessi is amazing.
I wish them all the best, I think they will be amazing in their career.❤
Jessi is so well-spoken and appreciated by so many of us! I wish nothing but the absolute best for her!
I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with this, Jessi. I wish there was justice for what you went through! I pray for your continued healing. There is evil in this world and your aunt is the personification of it. I trust she is never allowed to be around children again.
Jessi is such a beautiful and brave young lady. Wonderful to see the place she is at now, all the hard work and healing she has done is incredible.
So much respect for Jessi. She has come out of this horrific situation and now becoming a force for good and for healing.
I dearly hope that everyone involed with Jodi's situation....especially those involved in any of her parole hearings,etc....that they are
THOROUGHLY informed about her uncanny ability to manipulate. You KNOW she is going to do all she can to manipulate herself
out of this. I pray she is not allowed to get away with that. She needs to remain behind bars for the rest of her life.
And secondly, I hope folks remember that she was being financed and promoted by the Mormon Church and they knew what she
was doing.
Maybe we need to wait for the respective Church or from their spokes person/s to give the Church the wrap up. I'm not Mormon but I know quite a few who takes offense to: vallow,daybell, Jodie and ruby throwing the Reputation of Centuries of Mormon believers that turned out to be what these people have in the name of Jesus. Really? Since when did we start hearing about crazy serial killer Mormons? Please
@@user-ek6vy5zg6blook up Ervil Morrell LeBaron, Ted Bundy was also baptized into LDS too. Those are 2 big big names as serial killers go….
Also it’s important to remember & think about how many ppl in the Mormon church get away with murder or with atrocious violence against children or a spouse because they are Mormon?? Any kind of high demand religion is dangerous because of the culture of secrecy & protecting one another. It’s obviously not only Mormons, but I’d bet my life on the fact that there are many many many many many crimes that have been swept under the rug or handled within the church as to not bring negative attention. That kind of protection is what needs to be called out & stopped!
@@user-ek6vy5zg6bThe LDS Bishop kept recommending Jodi to his congregants AFTER she'd been held liable for sharing that poor man's private information! So LDS knew they were sending patients to an unethical woman! 🤬
Yes that particular one had to know I agree.
@@user-ek6vy5zg6b “Centuries??” You don’t know about the Mormons do you??
Jessi, you are such a beautiful soul. You are already helping so many victims of child abuse already. Your future looks very bright!
This is insane. A child feeling sad in church has to go apologize for their “manipulations” because other people noticed and somebody maybe looked bad? Leave the kid alone maybe? Or find a good person? If there is one- to help?
Jesse, you are so articulate, nuanced, and brave
This lady is wonderful. I respect her so much.
Jodi and Ruby just didn’t want to let us hear all of the disgusting things they have done to these poor kids. Jodi doesn’t care about those kids. You are absolutely right 60 years is not enough for all the lives she has destroyed. Jessie I hope your family have made things right with you. I am so sorry this happened to you as well.
Sad that it takes an abused kid to recognize bullshit so clearly
Jessi, you are a phenomenal beautiful woman.
Your courageous journey has been incredibly difficult I'm sure, but your
example as a brilliant star ✨ is an example of overcoming trials.
Thank you Jessi🩷
Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts. Jessi, you are an amazing person. I am sorry you experienced so much trauma. There is no question that the interviews you are doing will help others to heal. Brian, thanks for covering this story, so many people will be helped to know abusive behavior is not acceptable.
Jessie, you are amazing. I am so grateful that you are strong enough to speak out about this. I hope that you can find a way to use what happened to help others. A lot of people find that so healing. I wish you the best in your future whatever you do and I pray for your healing.
Jessi you are amazing so strong! I can't imagine what you had to go through. . . it dosn't even seem real. So excited for you in pursuing a psychological degree! I know you will go far with that!
If the police had not ignored the earlier reports of abuse it’s possible the other children would not have been put through the same vile abuse. It is disgusting that the Utah police do not protect children
What a remarkable young woman. I really wish the best for her.
I think Jodi will start doing the same thing in prison, she enjoys a captive audience.
She may find out that she won't be the top dog in prison.
Or in her case, top b. itch...
Maybe...unless the home girls find out what she did. there may be karma to pay.
I agree completely about Jody: her belief system devolved into madness a very long time ago.. jody is a twisted monster.
Your inner strength is incredible ; i am grateful that it is there for you!
Well said. I believe she fractured after significant abuse. If you've seen the photo of her as a beauty queen, there is something quite disturbing about it, like you're looking into something sinister. it's dark. Whether I'd known it was Jodi or not I'd have gone, "whoa! What's going on here?!?"
Awww so proud of you and your growth! Dont give her anymore power over you, you are beautiful, you are strong, you are courageous you are loved! I pray your healing continues and you can continue to help others through your experiences and strength 🥰✨❤️
Jessi, I really believe that you are the key to the outcome of this case. I would put money on it, someone saw your interview and told someone in authority to watch it, and then started asking some hard questions of Jody and Ruby. When the facts and charges came out and it was so similar to your story in many ways, I thought to myself then that your interview on Mormon Stories is what took her down. Anyway, I'm so proud of you kiddo. You have gotten stronger through the last couple months and it shows! I hope that your parents come around now that Jody's true colors are showing. As a mom to two girls, (one close to your age), I'm just really proud (mom proud) of you fir being strong enough to tell your story and make it through the last couple months. In sure it's been a storm in your life lately! You did good! ❤
I agree 100%. Without Jessi's original story, Jodi might have gotten off with a lesser sentence. Now others are coming out about Jodi on Mormon stories podcast. She should serve the entire sentence.
@gointothedogs4634 I watched that one and the one with Adam Steed. She is a narcissist. I have some experience with cults. I wasn't in one but my husband of 25 yrs was born and raised JW. VERY similar to Mormons. People in legal system need to understand the power of coercive control.
So glad Jessi got away from that monster.
Thank you Jessi for your courage! I wish you could somehow go after her legally
Jessi, you have gone through so much! I wish you total emotional healing, love and light!
Jessi would be an EXCELLENT therapist.
I was just thinking the same!
Thank you!! And god bless you!! Jessi!!! For speaking out
Jessi, you are such an amazing person. Glad you have been able to work on healing. So so sorry this happened to you. You will crush College!
I have a sister a lot like Jodi hildebrandt and ruby franke. And I have been reaching out and making reports along with other people that have reported her as well. She also runs a daycare out of her house. And there is so much more to the reports and no one will listen. I truly need someone to just listen please 🙏🏻
You'll have to document carefully with videos or photos. That's what got the authorities' attention in this case, when someone saw the injuries to that precious little boy. Otherwise your sister will just deny it
i wonder what her parents feel now that they see what they allowed jody do to their daughter??
Small but important correction:
Jessi uses they/them pronouns, so it's "their parents".
Thank you.
@@abelis644 What a joke...
@@abelis644using plural pronouns in that way is not proper English. It is "her" parents, or "the" parents, not "they/them"parents.
The need to be referred to by pronouns shows she's still in a cult that uses language to separate themselves from the common sense society.
The whole pronoun phenomena is silly and shows she is still following a cult that uses language to define themselves.
She is a beautiful woman inside and out, who should be proud of her growth and boldness to speak out.
She doesn't need pronouns to be herself. She's replaced one cult with another, which is quite common.
We often don't feel we fit in to the "normal" society or mold so we look for groups that offer "individuality" and don't conform to societies "rules". Even the rules of the English language.
Language is inherently adaptable and singular they has already been used in English for hundreds of years. While the common terminology for it has changed people who don’t conform to our society’s genders and feel a need to call themselves differently because of it have always existed in our culture. Whenever people begin to say that biology aligns with certain social roles and even personality traits, like interests and self-expression, there will be those who don’t fit the mould to an extent that they need to protest the box they were put in. But regardless, you don’t have to see the world the same way. Gender is clearly complex enough that we can have different understandings of it! But we all have pronouns we prefer and those we don’t, some of us are just fortunate that we don’t have to ask to be called the ones that feel right to us. So even if you see things differently from them I think Jessi would appreciate you giving them the dignity of respecting what they like to be called. This also probably isn’t the place to focus on this, I think we’re both here because we know there’s a much bigger concern at hand!
@@EmL-kg5gn What about the languages which don't have female/ male or neuter pronoun differentiations? Don't you think they have gender issues? How will They/them/ their prounouns for a singular person be translated into those languages?
The church hierarchy that supported Jodi should also be held accountable for the abuse of Jessi and allowing the torture of those children.
?
agree
Jessi you are amazing🦋.
I'm so sorry for the torture that you suffered at the hands of that disgusting thing.
I am so angry at that thing's lawyer, his words were just gross, I cannot imagine how you must feel!!!
The thing had better be locked up for decades.
Take good care of yourself, your courage blows my mind.
🥰🌷🦋🐠🦜

👋🇨🇦🌠
ps. on another subject, your Art is intriguing and gorgeous!🤩
Jessi is such an amazing person. I was thrilled when they said they’re planning to go back to school to study psychology! You go, Jessi! You’d be a fantastic psychologist!
Very well spoken young lady. I hate that it is her bad experiences that have shaped her, but the fact that she has used these experiences for her betterment and not to just fall to the victim mentality, speaks well of her character. She is going to be a GREAT therapist. WELL DONE, Jessi!
Justice for Jessi! What a brilliant mind. I'm pleased to hear about the plans for college. Congratulations. I'd love to see you win some of Jodi's money in a civil suit! Sending lots of love to you!!
What do your parents think about forcing you into that situation? Have they apologized?
Good question! I wonder if they feel bad knowing how jodi tortures children.
She mentioned before that they act as if it never happened and don't speak about it at all
@@gabihehehe rug sweeping is part of the unhealthy family dynamic that created Jodi. I doubt they'll ever acknowledge it.
I doubt it. They wanted Jodi to make her heterosexual. Good grief!🙄
Jessi's mom showed up after a year of not seeing her daughter to take her to go get senior portraits even though Jessi was not graduating high school because she was a year in "therapy" with Jodi. But mom couldn't have an empty place on the wall with her other children. That was the most disturbing part of Jessi's entire Mormon Stories interview. Jessi spoke of siblings that don't want to hear any more of what Jessi has to say. Basically, they have always minimized Jessi's trauma. I HIHGLY doubt any one in Jessi's family have apologized even though aunt Jodi is going to prison.
They are so well spoken and really inspiring, I’m so grateful they’ve chosen to speak out
I think this is the first interview I've seen Jessi smile. ❤
Jessi, you are so articulate, intelligent and wise. I really enjoy listening to you. You are a true survivor!
I agree 💯 with Jessi, 60 years is nothing for those criminals. I hope they don’t get parole for the sake of the kids.
Jessi: you speak as such a balanced and thoughtful human...thank you.
Sending so much love to this woman! Praying for healing and happiness for you
Very insightful interview! Thanks for sharing, sending Jessi thoughts of strength and peace.
Jessi deserves to be awarded any assets that Jodi currently has for restitution from all the pain and suffering that she will never completely recover from.
Also, Ruby’s children should be compensated from both Ruby and Jodi’s assets.
Jessi is so eloquent and informed. I wish them great healing and success in the future after such abuse from Jodi Hildebrandt.
Jessi’s family watching her survive and steal the heart of the world after their abandonment and abuse like …..
Jesse, you would make an excellent psychologist. You possess the smarts and personal experience, and most importantly, the empathy, to help so many people. Continue your tattooing as well. I’m sure you’re very good at that too. Whatever your future holds, best wishes to you for success ❤
Please don't lessen Ruby's accountability. Please
Jessi, you're an amazing young woman. You have gone through so much at such a young age. Stay strong and do well in school. Sending a mom hug your way.
