I sobbed. She danced in the hospital. They were thrilled to go to a park. She called a simple park heaven. I’m so proud of them
seeing the cop cry got me. I am glad they are free but know that it's still a struggle.
I was right there with you and the sobs. I just do not understand these "parents".
When Jordan said, “I could smell the air. I could smell the grass. How could heaven be better than this”? My eyes were watery. Being able to go outside is such a small thing to most of us that haven’t experienced this type of sheltered abuse and to her, it’s something she will never forget. Just beautiful💙
I was tearing up too. It’s sad they barely went outside in their lives.
@@pelarikota8103 only animals like chickens and pigs, cows have been treating like this no matter you believe it or not
She is so seemingly young and innocent for 33 but you can see how traumatic it was in her eyes the whole time.
She looks, sounds and acts like a 20 year old, maybe younger, those poor kids, absolutely traumatised and underdeveloped and under fed.
I truly can’t get over that she’s 33 here. She looks sounds and has the innocence of a teenager, and yet she’s so broken and traumatized. Bless her sweet heart.
It's very commonplace in case of trauma that the growth freezes in many ways. There are women with litlle girls voice out there, plenty, there is a reason for that.
It’s not the age that gives life meaning but the experience. Without life experience it can hold you back drastically
As we always say
Every child deserves parents, but not all parents deserve children.
Absolutely, just because you can physically have them doesn’t mean you should.
I read the youngest siblings were re-abused in foster care. Absolutely heartbreaking! I can’t imagine leaving one nightmare and being put in another
Usually republicans like to foster children for the money. And neglect them. That’s how it is. Broken system
You can tell they were extremely neglected by the way they talk. Talking is something that’s learned over the ages of 1-12, and it’s insane that they were so isolated that they struggle with it as adults today. I hope they all heal tremendously.
The parents literally left them alone for 4 years in texas. Only visiting weekly to drop off food.
“How can heaven be better than this?” “This is life” really makes you think about how much as simple as stepping outside and breathing fresh air, we take for granted. So happy for these beautiful brave women .

@@loverinas So the first thing about her that should be complimented about her should be her looks? She's not your run in the mill club girl college dropout that has nothing more to offer than her looks. She actually has value
When Jennifer talked about wanting to make friends and nobody wanting to be friends with her, honestly that broke me
Watch this clip. In one photo they're all wearing a red tee shirt that says the word THING and a number! These parents are so f-ing 😈
@@uyoebyik Thing 1 and Thing 2 are fictional characters. But in the context of abuse, it's not the best character to compare your children to.
I remember my mother telling my dad about this story, and she didn't want me to hear it because she knew I would be upset!! The fact that they were so grateful for such simple things makes you sob!!!
My heart shivers with pain when Jennifer retold the moment her mother called her stupid, when trying to pretend that's ok with a laugh.
This is why you don't make fun of someone when you don't know their situation. 😔
“Smell the air. Smell the grass.”😭 Things most of us take for granted.
So true we are so lucky to have the beautiful freedom we have I always thank God for everything the he blesses me everyday with my son and my family and friends I have for everything I have but the most important thing I have my life and for the food I put in the table and for the roof I have in my head
At the park, she felt "How could heaven be better than this? “
This line hits me hard
It's so heartbreaking. The lack of nutrients, love, care, they got :( I'm so sorry for Jennifer and her siblings. I hope they are all at peace at the moment
Jordan, Jennifer & Jeanetta have social media accts, are very popular & very active! They are thriving! Jordan has 920,000 TT followers, Jennifer 57,000!
The moment when Jordan said, “the first place we went to was a park and I thought how could heaven be much better than this” I starting crying again.
Because it’s heartbreaking. The fact that they were comparing such normal and simple things that children do to “heaven” shows how isolated they were from society,
She acted like a young girl for a 33 years old woman, you can tell that so much years have been stolen from her. Poor lady
Jennifer is actually thriving out there! Jennifer & Jordan both have fascinating Tik Tok accts! Jordan's made international news on Inside Edition 2 days ago, a 2 min clip on how popular hers is! 521,000 followers!
I see them as being preserved no alcohol drugs wholesome they will live long and great
@Gabby Gabs it appears to be it looks very uncomfortable and awkward:( very sweet young ladies you know what the older sister seems to appear a little more nourished then her sisters how could the family say they hate them for doing what they did but never helped
When she said “ not just beat , beat until I bled” that really broke my heart . I cannot understand how a father does that to his own child. That guy is pure evil.
“Do you wanna take a minute?”
“Yeah.. I actually wanna take a little break 😢😢 “
You can tell that the abuse really affected her. Not by just talking about it, but the respect that Jordan and this girl (sorry can remember name) have to reporters… it’s so sad
Even more heartbreaking is thinking of how their vocabulary was probably made up of only hearing their parents talk.
It explains how she knew what being chained up meant, but not about medicine. It's heartbreaking.
@@sheisaMachine if you wish that upon people, you are acting like those monsters
They speak pretty well and their teeth are in great condition to be abused and neglected for decades don't you think.
The fact Jennifer was in public school and not a SINGLE gd person DID ANYTHING is disgusting. Those teachers failed her.
The fact that there is no records is suspicious, it wasn't that long ago that they wouldn't have had rows of filing cabinets.
Just like all my teachers failed me and nobody cares/cared. Try this for size, 3+ teachers making fun of you and the entire class starts busting out laughing at you. Also them intentionally ignoring you when you're raising your hand. I could go on and on. I learned that nobody actually cares, they just pretend they do. I can actually relate with her/them on alot of things. There's more than just them that it's happening to.
@@matthewmccone2126 Im sorry to hear that stay strong brother 🙏🙏 I hope things did get better
I had a high school friend, and her sister, who rode the bus with us. She had random bruises. One day she had a lot of them, she flinched away from contact and I’m pretty sure a teacher reported it because that was the last day they went to our school. They simply disappear without explanation.
This was back late 70s and I’m sure that wasn’t the first or last time because they came to our school mid semester a year prior. I doubt any good records were kept and I’m sorry I didn’t know why she would flinch if you suddenly went to touch or hug her.
Jordan broke my heart. Jennifer absolutely shattered it.
Like, WTF am I watching??
What kind of F'N story is this??
How TF does this happen??
I mean, GOT DAMN!!
I've been absolutely beside myself and almost in denial that this was all real.
I have never heard of it until now.
HOW?!? WHY?!!
To Part 4 I go!
Lord help me...WOW!!
Those children will never be the same. They are changed for LIFE 😢
The interviewer is so kind. Definitely the right person to be helping these women tell their incredible stories
Diane Sawyer is not a good interviewer. Might look and sound good on the outside but mean on the inside
@@dantheman7931 lol, it's exactly why she is actually a tv legend & you're what....a simple commentor on UA-cam! lol It would seem that if she is truly so dumb & you are so incredibly intelligent, the job careers might be reversed? lol
Can you imagine how many kids are going through this right now. It’s absolutely devastating. I hope they all get the help they deserve.
That’s what I’m thinking. So many people are going through this exact thing right now
And imagine how many police officers just "return" them to abuse
Officer literally "Most of them end up being returned" nasty
One more wretched problem is thay many orphanages or shelters are also run by power crazed lunatics who do stuff like this or worse. This world is insane, and you see how people become cynical and jaded. The positive outlook on life you have as a kid is soured by each of these stories you slowly find out about, unless you were actually part of them yourself and didn’t ever had that to begin with…
Minutes after writing this I saw an article where allegedly 5 of them who were in a foster home were yet again abused. So yeah…how can a sick world help itself?
I became a dad 6 weeks ago - I could never imagine doing anything to harm or neglect my baby girl. I can’t believe these girls went through that.
I became a mother 8 months ago, and I agree. The love I feel for my son is something I've never even experienced before. I love every single molecule of him with all my heart. I cried so much watching this. These poor children. My heart breaks for them, and those parents deserve stuff I can't write here. It's a new type of hate for people who abuse kids. I thought I got mad before but now that I have my on child. The hate and anger is next level.
hearing them talk about how heaven can’t be even better than going to the park and smelling the air. i wept. they have an overwhelming joy for life that many people with wonderful lives will never have.
"How could Heaven be better than this?" She broke my heart with that. I hope her future is as much a blessing to her as that moment in the park. She's earned it, and so have her siblings.
Marcel Walker,,passei por isso,,,,de adulta sai do Brasil e fui conhecer Vancouver,Canada e tambem pensei:::AQUI EH O PARAISO,,LINDO,,isso de maldades que passamos com os pais nao sai do trauma,,mesmo sorrindo tu chora direto sozinha
I meant exactly what I said: Through her efforts and perseverance of spirit, she earned freedom for herself and her siblings. Whether or not she should have had to do so is another matter entirely, and they all definitely deserved better than they were given by their parents. Their parents deserved punishment, which they earned through their actions.
And no matter what the semantics are, I think most of us want the siblings to have a good, happy future.
I've not stopped crying listening to these wonderful kids,,,,,, the way they articulate is very basic but at the same time compelling,,,,
That just melted mine too. They are so pure and God I just am so happy they are free!
The oldest child-her eyes are so haunting. They broke every part inside of her. Her resilience is nothing short of miraculous.
She looks the same as people that came from the camps in ww2 and were intervieuwed a couple of years later
@@plantsbyhailey8326 just think about that she is the oldest one and it means she being abused for years
@@plantsbyhailey8326 I don't think we have the right to question abused and traumatized people of their decisions and actions when here we are, have the internet, watch videos on UA-cam, and have the right mindset, environment, and given the freedom to choose for our own. If given what we have, I am pretty sure Jennifer will never allow herself to live more than 2 decades of abuse and none of her siblings too.
It’s so disturbing to know any person can be be a parent, even murderers and rapists. So afraid of how many kids are still suffering and we can’t help.
One reason I can’t watch some stories. Once I start thinking about how many kids and people are suffering a terrible life right now makes me question life and God and I was taught not to. And I feel sick not being able to help them.
I've gone through things as a child I wish no child would ever go through..... I can't even slightly compare stories or horrors with these brave people. My sense of what was possible is now shattered. I'll remember watching this for the rest of my life.
How can parents be so evil towards their own children, it truly is mental.
Their eligible for parole after 25 years, their in prison for life, and they are situated to a prison where the children are able to visit.
(Some don't, only one of the kids forgave them).
They will be eligible for parole in 2047.
She was 29 when she was rescued, half of her life gone. But the positivity that shines through them is just unbelievable, i hope all the happiness in the world for them.
Most people in the US live way past 60. A lot of abused kids don't reach adulthood. Her life was not good but she did live it. It's no more or less gone than anyone else her age, and hopefully something useful can be wrung from her experiences. I hope she gets whatever help she needs to adjust to her new life and to deal with the trauma. If anything is going to prolong her life it's going to be getting the necessary support.
Not half of her life. I would say a quarter since life expectancy is much higher than 50

I appreciate the interviewer. She is kind, empathetic and isn’t interrogating them. She knows she’ll never understand the situation they were in but was so nice to them.
The "I'm sorry" when she asked for a break.....that hurt me. I was abused as a child. Not anywhere close to this but apologies when none is needed is a hard thing to stop after abuse.
“not anywhere close to this” babes ur trauma is so validated i hope u know 💓 no matter how much or how little everyone feels the same trauma.
Then the fake show of sympathy from the interviewer got me. If she wants a break why did that have to show all that… rating of course, rather than give her a real break
i've been abused too (i think?) and it doesn't matter whether you've drowned in one foot of water or twenty. you have trauma, don't disregard it.
I literally cried in that moment; and had to take a break myself. As an abuse survivor (only emotional from my parents but physical from others), that moment right there was an unintentional trigger for sure. She is so brave. I have so much admiration for them even doing this interview. 💜
This is by far the most sickest case I know. And the fact the older siblings aren't set to their own freedom. And that Jennifer is 33 now, I wanna cry.
This is unreal that these young people had to go through such horror. It must feel like heaven, being free now, such smiles they have now and after all they have been through. God bless them all. I pray they have a beautiful and happy future ahead.
Too many people ignore red flags because they “don’t want to get involved” ... This is a great reminder to keep our eyes open and never choose complacency over protecting others.
it takes a village …. it’s so best to fill the gaps where people need them

The older sister, you can literally see the pain, and the trauma she experienced, that they all experienced.
She's also so childlike. The poor woman never had a chance to develop socially.
Yes, sometimes she rocks which is self soothing. My son did it at his MISERABLE, abusive and lonely orphanage. Sad. ❤
and she wasn’t able to protect her siblings she watched them go through the same thing poor girl

She's so beautiful. Its so terrible what they went through. You can hear the fear in her voice when she talks about the abuse. Its so upsetting
I have to give credit to the oldest Jen, she obviously took the burden the most and even helped raise her siblings. She gave her sister strength to leave, knowing she couldn’t.

I wish she could have that same courtesy when she interviewed Britney Spears

Watching these videos make me realize how blessed I am.
when she mentions that not all siblings know what each one went through. this is a prime example of how siblings can have the same parents and yet have different experiences. this is paramount in an abusive household and in general all cases of abuse, regardless of social status and even industry.
Yes. There is a certain occult organization that makes it's members put a curse one kid and treat that one abusively. If you are that one it's something to look into.
Yep! This is one of the reasons why I HATE it whenever one sibling denies or refuses to believe that their other sibling went through abuse/r*pe at the hands of by their parents. Because how would you know exactly?
@@Livvvid Making excuses for abuse is the hallmark of a truly abused person.
Its a way of trying to rationalize it. To make it make sense. The truth of course is it doesnt make sense and there is no good reason for it.
When Jordan was talking about going to the park and said “How can heaven be better than this” That got me sooo emotional because people really take things for granted where other people are suffering and will kill for things that might seem so simple to us 🥺
It happens a lot more than you think! That’s why people shouldn’t bully or be rude to others because they may very well know nothing about what lots of people deal with. So many people don’t even talk about it just like how those kids were terrified to even leave their house, open up to people you might just save them yourself with a simple friendship!
@@suhhdewd509
Agree! To abused kids Open up your mouth to tell when you get the chance. If you don't have a mouth at home, have one when you see a concerned adult. Tell them you don't want to go home.
They still have that child innocence look on their face and that is heart break breaking.
How she cradles herself says so much, terrible what parents do to their children I still suffer from my parents' abusive behavior today and I am now 61 years old. Without good guidance continues to determine life as it has happened to me. There is hope for these children if they are properly guided in processing their traumas.I wish all the best for these children ❤❤❤
They're pure innocent souls. Look at them,their eyes,the way they talk. They're still little girls. Good thing all the horrific stuff didn't killed their spirits. They're still sparkling no matter how hard it was the pain. A true lesson of healing and recovery.
@@gummy5862 No… no… just, no. This was clearly traumatic. Rewatch parts 1 & 2 that poor girl was traumatized.
@@gummy5862 I mean, if they didn't get traumatized, they wouldn't even want to call the cops. I believe that things from your childhood can be traumatic, but sometimes you just don't know how to put it in words, therefore not calling a trauma untill someone from outside the situation acknowledges and tells you.
well they are in a much better place than before, but I am sure that most of the times their eyes aren't sparkling. the PTSD must be quite hard and consuming. Hopefully each day is better. though
@@gummy5862 I think because people like us who went through abuse know we are going through stuff and the older we get the more we realize we have so much trauma we haven’t dealt with.
I mean I remember as a young child dreaming, wishing and praying I can just runaway and a loving family will take me in and I didn’t go through half of what they went through but nevertheless, it’s still a traumatic experience.
I remember, all of a sudden I couldn’t speak audibly or look into anyones face when talking and this was me in my early twenties. I had left home but the fact I didn’t have a voice or say in my home growing up soon caught up with me.
I’m worried about all of them especially the ones because they’ll have to learn to be courageous, outspoken, independent in their opinions on things, they’ll have to learn to not let people use them. They’re nice because I don’t know but most people I’ve come across that were abused as kids just turn out nice. They’ll have to learn how to say no and not feel guilty. It’s a process but they’ll overcome.
when she said they went to the park and said "how can heaven be better than this " i started to cry. this story really is a wake up call. we take the smallest things for granted. not anymore that's for sure. incredible story. God bless their souls.
1000% me too! That line broke me! Imagine having grown up with such horrors that just going to an ordinary park feels like heaven!!!
When she said "How could heaven be better than this?" it made me stop for a second and realize how grateful we all are to live on Earth. And sometimes I think its beauty, even the simple things, are overlooked. I'm so glad they got out and were able to experience a new life.
No matter how many times I come across this tragedy I always end up in tears just thinking of what they went through. I hope they are all ok today
Even the oldest daughter speaks like a kid, it’s insane how much they had been stunted since birth by these parents
“Not just beat- beat til I bled” for her to have to see that there’s a DIFFERENCE in beatings is so heartbreaking.
I was beat by my father til I bled and bruised. Sometimes punched in the head til I was knocked out. He never got arrested once. The saddest thing is that I thought it was normal for father's to do that to their kids up until the age of 11. Most of the time I was dissociated in my childhood and don't remember much. He's gone now but that doesn't fix anything. He hasn't apologized or owned up to anything.
@moodykitti I am so sorry you experienced this. I hope you have found happiness. You deserve it.
Jordan saying being outside couldn't have been better than heaven made this grown 21 year old man shed many tears😢 shes so precious & brave, its impossible not to adore her
Oh she’s so sweet, bless her heart. I hope they all have found people to show them love and kindness.
The fact that 29 years of abuse didn’t destroy her is a miracle! She seems so serene and balanced… all these kids must have amazing brains. It’s almost impossible to overcome such trauma and socialize at this perfect level in 4 years! She had to learn to live in an age that our character is already fully developed and established.
Unfortunately you really don’t know about that. I played the part so well that nobody believes me now when I speak about what I had to endure. It’s easy to look balanced while being crushed. Crushed people are not crazy people, they don’t rock back and forth. But the struggle never ends.
@@georgetacarmen8824 thank you. It was not as bad as for them fortunately. If I had one thing to say to people: I know you’re trying to help, but NO, forgiving them will not soothe our burden. Praying for them neither. And it will never get better. We’ll just learn how to live with a limp, like any disabled people. We’ll get better at it, but it will never heal, nor should we burden ourselves with feeling less than because we cannot forgive. It’s hard enough realizing it is what it is, let’s leave it at that.

To think the older sister had to live 29 years like that is absolutely heart breaking. At 29, I had my own family, home, career, etc. She had absolutely nothing. No knowledge of the world, probably couldn’t read or write, no friends, and the only family that loved her were also hostages. I have no idea how they turned out so kind and brave.

I don't think I have ever heard such honesty, expressing such sublime authenticity, with such moving simplicity, as what these Women are communicating with such freedom from contrivances.
I think this is the most emotionally exhausting thing I've ever watched. Hard to see how cruel some people can be to a child.
You can literally see the PTSD in the oldest siblings eyes. She was my age when she was set free, I just can't even fathom 29 years of torture. I'm glad they are free, but I am so saddened they will never truly be free of it.
Yoseg Yorman,
Yes! You can see, when she's first talking to the officer, that her PTSD is peeking. That is common when someone is trying to get away from a long-time dangerous situation, or they have just gotten out, they know that that's the most dangerous time for them.
When women finally escape an abusive relationship, that is when they are most likely to be killed or nearly killed, right after breaking free. That's where the PTSD is at its highest point. The victims have been psychologically manipulated to fully believe that if they try to get free, they will die... so if they actually do get the courage to get away, there's a part of their mind that fully believes they're going to die, while other parts of their mind want to break free from all the psychological manipulation, abuse, and control.
These children will need lots of help with learning healthy relational boundaries, or they will end up with abusive people, or as abusers themselves. That is typically what happens, if they don't get serious help, because they learned to either be abusers or to be abused.
They can be free, and their past can be what makes them stronger and more compassionate than most. They are able to minister to others who've been in the same situation, better than anyone else can.
"Whom the Son sets free shall be free indeed."
She definitely would have long-term PTSD after the abuses her parents inflicted on her.
... it's very evident that the way she speaks is that of a much , much younger person...
the eldest boy doesn't even bother, he has knows more torture than any of them
As a parent I will never understand how anyone can do these things to their kids... these poor kids have went through literal hell.
The future is shaped by what you can imagine, your present by what you did imagined and your past by what was imagined by all those who came before you.

You can always tell around what age severe trauma, physical and/or emotional, begins by mannerisms and speech. Jennifer is 33 years old and her voice sounds like she's 6. This is truly affecting me deeply.
I almost started crying. The torment they went through. My god. How are people so evil to children
Im in sock to see and hear what those monstets do to them . When she talk she sounds like scary little girl. This case is unveliable poor kids people nerd them shuold put more attention we all shuould like those neighbors waching them walking for hours in the midfle of the night why they dont call the police for a welfer check i know can be scare to do that if you wrong but what about if you saving a child is worth the risk.
Fbi me too, this has really effected me, dang I won't look at problems the same
How do you ever come back from something like this? These children are amazing and I hope they flourish after this horrific ordeal ....I pray they can get the help they need.
Incredible that more than 20 years passed by and nobody noticed the abuse these gorgeous kids went through .
The pain in Jennifer's eyes is heartbreaking. I hope she has the amazing and happy future that she deserves.
I hope Jennifer experiences the love of a partner one day. Someone special. Someone like her. Xx
Go visit her social media accts, she's rocking the social media world! She has 45K TT followers! Has an Instagram acct.
@@throictainted8136 Yea, Poppy made a comment about Jennifer, I just suggested she go visit Jennifers social media!
She’s 29 and she still sounds so much like a little girl who just wants her mommy to be a real mother. Not a demon. I cannot even fathom the horrible existence they had. That wasn’t life.
She'll definitely lag socially give 29 years of isolation. She'll have a mentality as a traumatized child and suffer PTSD.
She's 33 here which is even more wild. She looks soooo young. Both of them do.
Everyday I thank god my mom and dad love me unconditionally, idk how as a parent you can hurt your seeds, I couldn’t imagine what these brave girls went thru:(
Oh my. My heart goes out to them. They are absolutely precious.
I remember that the authorities couldn’t believe Jennifer was 29 because she was so malnourished.
Poor thing you can see on her face how terrified she is even now. Whoever her bf/husband will be hopefully he will protect and respect her and keep her away from her parents if they get out which I hope they never do.
I thought eating healthy was meant to make u look younger but she looks not a day over 19 and she’s 29
It makes me so sad when she said “how could heaven be better than this” about the park, because I used to be mad when my mom took me to the park because I didn’t want to go. Shows how we take things for granted.
@@robertaleman2438 you don’t have to believe in heaven to understand what she said was emotional. 🤦🏻♀️
" How could heaven be better then this " really got me in tears... Hope her familly doing well man, the humans sometimes can make the paradise look like a hell
They both seem soooo young still.😭💕
I'm surprised these kids never suffered any broken bones. They were so fragile. My heart goes out to them. Nothing alive deserves this type of treatment.
@@theRAV4000 well if it did happen, don't you think they'd mention it with all the other stuff that happened to them?
I don't know who you are, but as soon as I read your last sentence my respect for you grew immensely. Thats how I know when a person is truly a good one, when theyre able to recognize that sentience exists in more than just humans. If you can abuse a helpless animal, you can abuse a human. Most farmed animals live in filthier conditions than what these precious girls experienced. The difference is that if you tried to help those animals escape, it would be you the one who ends up in prison. Not their abuser.
I'm so happy for these kiddos. You think you have it so bad until you come across a story like this.... Just imagine how many others go thru this every day and still haven't been able to be freed yet! or if they ever will!
"How could heaven be better than this?"
Truly inspiring and heart breaking at the same time.
Their story goes to show how important socialization is in helping us grow as a person…something these two brave women didn’t have growing up.Their story is heartbreaking.
At least they had each other- if it was just one they’d be far less functional than they are
My mom doesn't let me have friends, or socizaizle because the kids my age are "corrupted "and "gross" she finally let's me talk to a friend I haven't talked to since I was 5 that's when at 7 I was forced to be isolated, I'm 12 now, I talk to my friend on the phone (btw she's 12 also) and, she sounds, like a teenager, talking about boyfriends and her first kiss, I sound like a 5 year old still and I'm talking about barbies, I feel confused, why do I sound like a baby and act like one
@@starrydayz1436 thats ok everyone grows up differently. It does not mean your mom is bad or that there is something wrong with you or with your friend. Everyone grows up differently.
"what's the first bit of freedom you felt?" "hearing the hospital music. I danced" that is so heartbreaking
The way Jennifer smiled when the interview held her hand 😢😢❤❤❤❤
They have the most beautiful souls even after everything ❤
Such beautiful, courageous women. I wish the best for both of them, they deserve a life full of happiness after the hell they went through.
The smell thing is still probably a traumatizing thing for her. As someone who spent several years living in filth as a child I’m very self conscious about the way I smell.
I feel you, I lived with my mom who compulsively accumulated filth over the years, BUT now I’m with my dad and things are MUUUUUCH BETTER!!!!!
I have two children I adopted from the foster care system who are also very worried all the time about how they smell. It's less now, four years in, but when we were first blessed with them, they would both ask me at least 7-8 times a day if they smelled, and it would take an hour to reassure them that they didn't stink before we left the house. It was/is totally heartbreaking.
I hope you're doing well now. I'm sorry that you went through that :-/. I agree that it's something that haunts you, but I'm sure that you smell fine
I didn't know I could love someone I have never met in person so much. I just want to hold her forever. I so hope she finds happiness.
A big big hug from Italy
These girls are beyond brave. This story breaks my heart.
“I made sure there was a little bit of the floor cleared out, and I danced.”
😢😢😢
I almost cried when she said, “How could Heaven be better than this.” It’s crazy to think about how most of us talk about how heaven is so much better than this world, but for some this is heaven. Makes you want to appreciate this world more. 😔
for people who lived in a room their entire lives with no social skills they are quite charming and sweet. the mix of gratitude and sweetness from the horror makes them so likable. knowing that people can come out of such horror and be this great is incredible to see and gives me such joy and hope for us all.
They r scared to be any other way. Abuse victims are usually people pleasers
I think the sweetness and charm comes from the maternal role the girls had over the younger siblings. I would assume they had to soothe eachother & find ways to carry on
See I didn't know how to word this concept but I feel you 100% wanted to say this from the part 2
Yes they are, and so open . They have a lot to learn so they can integrate themselves into society, but hey don’t blame them, they’ll get there. These are good kids despite being raised by monsters, they’re endearing.
The interviewer is so sweet ❤ I love that she was so gentle and considering ❤
i really admire not pushing these girls to share, giving breaks when needed. good on you all. these women and men are so stong!!
Every “runaway” child needs to be treated like this. No kid runs away without a good reason especially if their the ones calling 911 to report it.
i ran away because i got expelled from high school. and also because i wanted to spend a couple of weeks getting drunk and high and fucking my gf. trust me, most runaways are like i was.
@@jp-sn6si so you got expelled which means you were acting out so why were you acting out? Parents too controlling? Parents fighting? No dad in the picture? Adopted?
@@glamam3914 my parents were actually very supportive and not stifling at all. to this day, they're the happiest married couple i know and it's always been just the three of us so we're super tight.
guess what? getting drunk and high and having sex happen to be really fun things to do.
oh right i already explained, i got expelled and i didn't want to get my ass beat. so i gave my dad a couple weeks to cool off.
@@glamam3914 and it worked too btw, mom and grandpa practically gave me a hero's welcome when i got back. dad didn't talk to me for like a week but he came around.
and before you make any more assumptions, i graduated from UCLA and got my MFA from NYU. make a pretty decent living and i visit my parents every other week. i try to see them every week but it's a longish drive.
I agree ! Even if it’s not that serious or it’s just a kid acting out. Police should look into it in case it’s something more serious going on at home
I feel horrible for the kids. I want to hug Jennifer and Jordan for what they went through. It's my third time watching the documentary and I still cry every time watching it. No one deserves this.
@@milesjohnson5487 honestly I don't think Diane expected the reaction from the girls. I mean overall I think she did decent by asking Jennifer if she wanted a break and tried finishing the sentences when the girls couldn't due to tearing up. I've seen worse interviewers.
Dude the point when she said she felt “real freedom” dancing in her hospital room punched me in the gut. The place most of us (outside of those incarcerated) feel LEAST free in our lives is when she first felt real freedom. Surreal.
Wtf . 29 years of mental/ physical abuse and isolation yet she's able to be this positive and confident. It's truly amazing.
I was thinking exactly the same.
They would have had practice acting 'normal' for the odd occasion they were in public.
She is an example to american people, instead of complaining about useless a sjw rally and doing riots
@@rexyz5875 Stop reaching.
@@averyyoung9088 reaching what? I mean its true, people need to appreciate the little things and be contended instead of doing useless divisions, doing idiotic protests, and other BS...... godbless these sisters they deserve the best, thank goodness they got out of the horrible situation theyre in
