Yeah, the cops treated it as a "runaway" situation and were fully prepared to return her to her parents, despite her saying they'd tried to kill her before, and would absolutely do it again. The only reason they entered the home at all was because of those pictures. When they went inside, they found a dozen emaciated kids, some of whom were chained to their beds and hadn't bathed for a year.

It's considered one of the worst child abuse cases in America's history, and the cops almost didn't investigate.

Thankfully Jordan seems to be doing great now. She has an active TikTok account and keeps in touch with her siblings.

Not sure how familiar you are with the case. Was very sad. Some of them were put in foster homes where they were subjected to physical and sexual abuse, again. Very troubling. They do seem to be doing well now, though. Very resilient.
