her being 17 but sounded like an 8 year old really messes with my mind about the life she grow up with
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
this case is the perfect example of “every child deserves a parent, but not every parent deserves a child”
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.
Her apologizing just broke me. She had never knew and talked to anyone depart from her torture.
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.
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.
i love how she made sure the operater heard EVERYTHING like shes like "did u get that?" she made sure her parents were gone for good
I can't believe she's 17 at this time.. she sounds like a little girl,desperate to get help. Such a brave soul!
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.
It was so horrible when dispatcher didn't confirm that information was received. I hate that silence.
One thing about her that really stands out is how unbelievably polite and respectful she is during her 911 call. She's so sweet.
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.
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 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.
Crazy how she was 17 but sounded 10. How that isolation emotionally stunted her.
The fact that she was 17 years old and was so childlike from being so sheltered from the world broke my heart
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.
She saved all her siblings. She is so brave!
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. 😭
