‘Weight Lifted’: Jodi Hildebrandt's Niece, Alleged Victim Reacts to Child Abuse Plea

[@luciaconn6788]

Jodi's guilty plea was probably on advise of counsel as the children's tale of torture would've generated much sympathy. Happy the niece filially got justice.

[@Ms.Prairie]

Jodi would’ve been cementing herself in the Mormon church and Utah psychology community at that point too. I’m so happy Jessi got some semblance of justice, but I almost wish that case could be reopened. There should be no statute of limitations when there’s recorded evidence that went completely unchecked and essentially doubted.

“The invisibility of harm” if not for the visible wounds ..would we know? Good point!

[@angelaame6148]

I'm sure anger is prevalent in the jail she's in .. Let's see if it remains her favorite emotion...

[@nancyreichenbach2938]

Knowing right from wrong . Ruby forgot? Sorry...she was wide awake and chose to allow all this to happen

[@f.miller9522]

That doesn't mean she wasn't manipulated. Some people accept hook lines and sinker because of their personalities. Of course she's still guilty.

[@nancyreichenbach2938]

@@f.miller9522 I could never be manipulated into being business partners with someone with that ideology. She clearly agreed with it.

[@Channel24377]

@@nancyreichenbach2938yeah also she’s an adult so it’s ridiculous to use that excuse she wasn’t a child manipulated she was a grown women with multiple kids in which she should know to care for but instead she hated them and wanted to see them in pain.

[@f.miller9522]

@@nancyreichenbach2938 well, I don't think manipulation works that way. They didn't start out as partners. So there was a lot of time to screw with ones mind.

[@Mindyhartwick]

I hope they get an attorney for the kids and sue the pants off of Jodi in a civil case.

[@lorieatamian4532]

Why can’t they file new charges against Jody for what she did to Jessi? Since Jessi went to the police back then, shouldn’t their statute of limitations be preserved?

[@silversmoke6]

No. Charges must be filed in order to stop time.

[@maureenstevens6824]

I believe there should NEVER be a statute of limitation on ANY CRIME AGAINST A CHILD!!!

[@hoptoit5910]

The kids are going to spill the beans on their father eventually. That he’s not also locked up is just crazy.

[@carmenj5045]

I like this girl .. she’s going in a good direction.. 👍🏽👍🏽.. all the power to her

[@Dj-zz]

Good grief. No mother treats a child like Franke & doesn’t know that it’s wrong. Now claiming that she was manipulated. That’s a trying to save your bacon tactic. Franke deserves 60 yrs. For sure 30 yrs. before parole eligibility.

[@LaineTheLark]

Jessi is incredibly brave for speaking their truth and I know that their voice is a powerful enough to get justice for themself and those kids.

[@anitamartin7639]

Jessi and other children are in my thoughts and prayers. Jessi , is such a brave a person and so mature in her statements, it is hard to imagine all of this.

[@loricooper2450]

Jodi pled guilty to avoid the massive amount of witnesses that would be on the stand. If you want to spot a Narcissist, their open accusations will always be hidden confessions. A Narcissist will forever tell on themselves.

[@princekareem]

Has Jessi considered civil action against Jodi? Jodi has her $5m house on sale right now and will make several mill profit from that

[@amypaul5886]

Ruby was just as abusive of her own kids before her aunt got involved.

[@Oldfatandtired0228]

I would just love to ask R and J how they saw this ending had they not been caught. Injuries were so severe, there would be no healing without medical intervention

[@rainingrabbitz]

I'm glad for her to get her justice!! We all can't get that. I'm doing a police report on my dad soon.
