    How smart of her to take pictures. She's never came out of the house, never talked to anyone, and still took pictures to back up her story
  • She is so polite, intelligent and strong for someone who has been broken down her entire life. She is a Warrior.

    I can imagine the deputy first thought she was mentally ill because of how strange she comes off- which is obviously due to the abuse and neglect she suffered. She is incredibly brave, she knew she had to do something to help her siblings, she was scared and in an unknown territory but she trusted the police. Honestly, an amazing young woman.
  • @SUK1N0TH3R3
    The fact she apologized for talking is heartbreaking and this is happening in our world wow
  • @Malisfee4
    The fact she learned the word “abuse” before even learning what medication and injuries are speak volumes.
  • @kiiiirbzzz
    When she asks “whats medication” and “whats injuries” my heart shattered into a million pieces. Shes so brave.
  • @zoeybrum8373
    she is the bravest human ever. the fact she was able to get her story and point across to the cop even though she was terrified and had limited vocab than the rest of us… is amazing. she’s an amazing sister.
  • @brianngoma519
    'What's injuries?' I burst into tears. So many things we take for granted. Glad she is now safe.
  • @yesvember11
    The fact she is able to articulate her story so well despite her very limited vocabulary and never interacting with someone outside her family before is incredible.
  • @domain-immanent
    It’s crazy to me that if she wouldn’t have had such solid proof and story they may not have taken her seriously
  • @MS-gn4gl
    When he asks her if she's hurt and she says "no not right now..." Tells you exactly how often all of those poor kids were abused physically
  • @clairiya
    This message is to the police, please when you see a child/teenager or just anyone running away from home don't just send them back, there's a reason they ran. So please dont send them back, they'll be in even more danger.
  • @scootsmcdoots80
    When she said “what’s injuries” almost burst into tears. This is horrible.
  • Seeing her with acrylic nails teared me up. The simple things of freedom she now gets to enjoy.
  • I grew up with the same level of abuse. Naturally one day I fought back. They called the cops on me, and the cops picked their side, and had me charged as an unruly child. At 13 years old getting arrested, hand cuffed, probation, anger management classes, and fees. Will easily take your childhood away and prove to you that you are a criminal. When I got older I realized I wasn't a criminal, any creature will eventually fight back. My mom is now a school teacher. It's scary. If I was a girl the cops might have helped me.
  • The fact that it could've been another cop that night who wasn't patient or didn't care to hear her story. Thank you Officer
  • @VegitoAttacks
    She actually speaks really well considering the abuse.
  • @eee4029
    0:42 "I'm sorry if I talk too much." BRO MY HEARTTTT
  • @gabemoulton671
    the fact that Jordan said she didn’t wanna go to the door cause she didn’t trust that the parents wouldn’t kill her even with the cops around is terrifying. the fear of god those people put into those poor kids is unimaginable, and the fact they had a 29 year old shows that each one of those 13 kids was neglected from the moment they were born. truly horrible
  • @JR_Cargile
    The way she says “mother” is terrifying…. Those poor kids were robots
