And no, no adults seemed to believe them when they did reach out for help. Not even the police. No one ever investigated it.

Their parents sent them a happy birthday message before the sentencing but didn’t say anything about the case. From what I understand Jessi had cut contact from their parents previous to Jodi being caught. I hope they don’t have to interact with them until they acknowledge what Jodi did. Absolutely disgusting that they continue to ignore the damage their own child experienced at the hands of their relative!

      First of all let me say, they are innocent until proven guilty, unfortunately…
      Let’s hope the Judge makes them serve the maximum amount of time, (which I believe is ten years per count) and makes them serve it consecutively for all six charges.
      For example, if they get five years per charge, with six charges that would amount to thirty years, consecutively.
      This way the children would all be adults before they are released from prison…
      Using the same scenario, five years per charge, with six charges, if the Judge allows the sentences to be run concurrently they would only have to serve five years total…
      This scenario, IMO, is way to lenient for what they have done, the two minor aged children would only be fifteen and seventeen.

    The amount of abuse in Utah is absolutely insane. When LDS children start going to school with non church members they start understanding things that are not right. The LDS parents see this as defiance and the abuse starts. Google the number of Youth group homes just in the state of Utah. It is staggering. They hid them under different names and when the county shuts them down they open in a new county. There are no requirements to work there. My niece came from another state and got a job with no background. We were snooping into what was happening. She would bring the kids to my house and the stories they told us were insane. Police, church officials, school teachers and administrators did nothing for these kids. By law they are supposed to report to DCFS/ CPS but they don’t instead they tell the parents what was said. Creating a worse situation for them in the home.
    They question the children in front of the parents and of course the children say nothing.
    I know all of this for a FACT. The only reason this particular situation was found out was because the outside media got involved. When the church teaches Fasting as a way to search for answers of course parents are going to go the wrong direction. When the church teaches taking away things it goes to far.
    Police will tell anyone that calls to report something that parents have the right to discipline their child however they see fit in the state of Utah. (Heard this one directly)
    There are thousands of these type cases in this state and no one cares. It is not about what you do but more about WHO YOU KNOW 🤝 iykyk

They sent me home and after she was done beating me, phoning the school to tell my teacher to explain to the kids that I lied all the time. I never reached out again. My life was detached for many, many years. But I beat it eventually!

      A recurring issue with Ruby and Jodi is that they were concerned about the police. Ruby said that the devil wants her kids dead and her in prison. Ruby and Jodi were so terrified when R escaped the first time, not because they thought something bad might happen to him but, given the severity of the abuse they understood that if the police saw him they would be arrested immediately. Jessi ran away but Jodi wasn't worried or panicked like with R or E. That means E and R were abused so severely than Jessi was that it was risky if anyone ever saw them.

    I grew up with an emotionally abusive parent and it doesn’t go away. I am 76 and my parent has been dead a few years but there are still triggers. Many fewer since she died but even that took time. I’m praying Jessie gets relief to some degree. I too have PTSD but has lessened since I don’t get phone calls or letters or reports from others about how bad I am.

    This is another Shary example of institutional betrayal inside the families, the community, and the professional therapist company of Rudy Hildebrandt- Jessi Hildebrand. You are brave, always have the courage to speak up, and are not alone. Following the cases running, I hope it will make changes not only in the US but worldwide.
