I think the little girl didn't realize that she was being saved (saved forever)... She probably thought the police just came to ask questions and were going to leave later and that she would be back under the control of Jody and Ruby.

[@monicarenee7949]

@@katiehenry7 yeah I also got the sense that she thought she would get them in trouble and get punished later. So sad

[@southbug27]

@@katiehenry7She probably thought they were there to put her in jail for being “a bad girl”. The boy who escaped told them something like he knows he’s a bad boy & deserved to be punished, but he was too hungry or his physical abuse was too much. It often takes years to decades for abused kids to really realize how abused they were & that there’s nothing they could’ve done to stop the abuse because their abuser is rotten & miserable on the inside so the try to beat the misery out by hurting & blaming other people. There are 2 types of parents who abuse their kids. The first kind was abused as a child & is copying their parents parenting; they don’t want to abuse their kids, but they don’t know how to make themselves stop, & it’s also made worse if they are drunk or high. They do love their kids are often fun & loving to their kids too. The second kind of abuser can’t be taught how to control their tempers & learn better parenting methods because they actually enjoy hurting people. Jodi, Rubi, & possibly Kevin those kind of abusers; they’re sadists. I think you have to compare them to serial killers to truly understand them. They aren’t people who just lose it because a kid is crying or misbehaving in some way. They like to think about evil things they will do when they are driving to work or going to sleep, etc. Those type of people should never be given custody or even visitation with their kids because they are the kind of parents who kill their children either because they take things too far & the kids die “accidentally” or they get so mad they kill them on purpose.
