Boy Under the Stairs: Hero Siblings Speak Out

Police called it one of worst crimes they’d ever witnessed. A 5-year-old boy held captive in a tiny cubbyhole in a closet under the stairs. Jordan Bleimeyer was starved and abused, and was just 29 pounds when he was rescued. Dr. Phil went inside his closet of horrors when this story broke and exclusively interviewed his stepmother, Tammi Bleimeyer, who is now behind bars. She denied she ever hurt Jordan -- but her children tell a different story. In an exclusive interview, they reveal how they snuck Jordan food and freed him from his closet prison, saving his life.

That couple should be put in jail forever. The mother is lying through her teeth.

[@RachelKagiorgis1111]

Children love and want to be loved by their parents so fiercely that they will forgive even the most heinous abuse. Heartbreaking.

[@jimmithedean4433]

Glad the oldest brother was willing to step up and take action. Fighting of a grown man as a teenager is wild! All the kids are heroes!

[@user-xh9yx8gx9c]

I am so glad they loved that little boy enough to do the right and brave thing. Most siblings in those situations are to afraid to do what they did. I am so proud of them for saving little Jordan's life

[@elmokirkwood3969]

Most? I don’t think that’s accurate.

[@2021noname]

You can see the mental and emotional pain on the son’s face when he speaks of his mother in the whole episode. It’s so sad they have to reconcile all their love for their mom who they have lost, almost forever, and the need to tell the truth about her crime. She probably mistreated them as well and they just have to accept it and move on because she got almost 30 years

[@with4tt477]

I need them to prosecute her lawyers. The lady to be precise! Disgusting!!

[@-Red055]

That poor baby boy i cant imagine the awful things he went through, my heart is literally breaking for him all he needed was some love..

[@Toni-qc7dn]

Look at the baby boy HELLO!

[@mmm7m672]

That is a beautiful baby boy & i hope & pray he is happy & healthy. God bless you all for helping him. You are heroes because you saved his life. Don't ever feel guilty about what happened to your mom she made the choice. If not for u children she would be in prison for murder. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✝️

[@cindymccomb4531]

Amen

[@TheSahand68]

child protective service should be charged with child nelect.

[@mysticmarie22]

This is so sad. I pray for this family and the trauma that was done. Sending healing vibrations and love. I read a book named “ a child called it” as a kid going through my own abuse. Is so sad how many this happens too. We have to be more of love instead of our anger emotions. Love and light to all❤❤❤❤

[@mysticmarie22]

I don’t believe the parents at all. They look pretty bad when arrested. Love to you all. ❤❤❤love will find you one day❤❤❤❤

[@cindiwalls3518]

I hate that all the grown ups try to make all the teens out to be liars. That lady showing the closet is a liar!

[@stephaniepiazzese2602]

Recently 3 little children were removed from their parents who live down the street from me,,, it started with several Police cars, near the home, then, three County cars,, a day later,,,, then,, you do not see any kids at all. Many of us here,, just started praying, and hoping, the children are well cared for/ safe/ happy,,, the parents obviously will have to go thru classes and training , etc. so I’m relieved.

[@lydiaohearn568]

Wow I don’t realize how good of a parent I am until I see stuff like this

[@pinecone1811]

OMFG Those pictures are heartbreaking 💔 😢! Poor little guy

[@salvatoredinunzio4137]

Horrible parents and step parents. Horrible people and thank god’s for this child to put stop 🛑

[@NorthStarVentures]

Thank you to these three heroes! You deserve that name :)

[@nildameers3772]

Unless they get therapy these kids will not do well relationally, emotionally or in life. Lord help them

[@brandyb2931]

I looked at that home and said there was no way the house looked like that with all of those kids there. They definitely staged it.

[@deborahard6780]

I’m confused as to how he was so deteriorated before he was found in the closet and no one seemed to notice. Did no one see him on a daily bases? How do you live in a house with this happening and not see it happening?

[@lydiaawuor5170]

This video broke my heart 😢

[@MatthewsFav]

What a wonderful big brother to step up like that. Those parents are monsters.

[@sabinawilliams7580]

Her lawyer is a typical lawyer. Will say and do anything to get her client off! She didn’t live there. That closet is staged. Nothing can explain away the utterly emaciated look of poor Jordan. Nothing can explain why his step siblings would choose to lie and go against their mother . Of course they are telling the truth!

[@mmm7m672]

I hope these children that helped have a place to live? Does anyone know how they are doing?

[@teryn4551]

So the other siblings never noticed anything out of the ordinary prior to this? Something fishy going on here.

[@cazza7034]

The mother should not have abandoned her child.

[@Belinda-Golding]

I hope Jordan is doing ok now

[@GC2024_]

Oh dear god that poor baby boy!! 😢😢😢 i pray the same punishment for him

[@FreeBirb19]

That “mother” is JUST as responsible for what happened to this sweet little boy, simply by her attitude! It is absolutely the biological parents job to be solely in charge of discipline for their child, especially if the stepparent doesn’t come into the child’s life early enough (as is the case with my eldest son’s stepfather whom I’ve been with since he was 7, unlike his stepmother, as he was only three when she and his father met, and is able to be a disciplinarian because of that timeline), EXCEPT in the case of ABUSE!!! She ABSOLUTELY SHOULD HAVE HELPED THAT CHILD!!!!

[@Slipy300000]

There's a lot more to this story!

[@jimbrown5268]

This poor kid! Please God, heal him.

[@RealWorldMoming]

I do admire her lawyers dedication.

[@Toni-qc7dn]

Ridiculous

[@sheenababy0415]

Thank god for the step siblings

[@foreverkara4452]

Thank God for them 🙏🏾

[@cindymccomb4531]

God bless these kids!!!

[@hazelblair6634]

what wasn't asked was.....where wore they while all this was going on and they must have noticed the little boy not being around.......i don't get it.

[@carrie6157]

🙏

[@sheenababy0415]

Those kids were probably all abused

[@pinkosmondfan]

These people aren't "heroes". They're just decent human beings. 7 kids isn't that many. Dr Phil acted like there were 20 kids.

[@gillmiller3702]

this seens to be more common every day

[@robhayes7155]

Not all heroes wear capes

[@Ladypython1]

The stepsister said the 2 little boys were in the den area with beds side by side . This is not what the solicitors showed Dr Phil. She said down there. Dr Phil went upstairs were b7nk beds were ???

[@captaincmoore]

The stepsister also said that the house looked staged when Dr. Phil went in.

[@seankopperstad8884]

Omfg that's so awful 😮😮
