⚠️ CW/TW: Child Abuse ⚠️

[Embedded content]

This young man, R, was incredibly brave. He’d already tried running away once and was caught in the middle of the night by his mother. He escaped a second time, went to the first neighbor, who wasn’t home, went to this neighbor, nobody answered, and he was leaving when this elderly guy came out. It wasn’t very long after (mere minutes) that when the local police showed up at Jodi Hildebrandt’s house and performed a search while she was squawking about being on the phone with her lawyer. During the search, the other child, E, was found.

What I figured happened in pretty close succession was 1) R escaped 2) R got help at the neighbor’s house 3) Jodi figured out that R had escaped and called Ruby 4) Ruby got into her car up in Springville and drove to Ivins 5) The police showed up and began a sweep of the house under “exigent circumstances”. I think this happened less than an hour, maybe even 30 minutes from when R got help from the neighbor.

This whole thing is a clusterfuck and I do not understand why there isn’t a larger discussion about YouTube children and momfluencers and suchlike.
