It would be normal. Odds are she knows that JH/her father went to prison for abusing her siblings so she would know that reporting abuse would lead to living with Hightower again. Would a five year old be able manipulate a situation like that? Probably, but certainly not very well. Since she was not abused by JH and she never witnessed her siblings being abused, I don't know if she would be able to describe stuff like what was she abused with (phone cord, twigs etc.) and other specifics related to being abused unless JH was abusing her.
Also, where all the kids shuffled around to live with the cousins and grandma? I wonder if that has anything to do with being pulled from the home following Jahessye's disappearance? Has JH been talking realllllllly negatively about the cousins to the children? Was Jahessye the only child JH needed LE assistance in having them surrendered to her care? Is this why grandma isn't getting involved in the current abuse allegations so she can remain in their lives?
I hope that JH was receiving counseling, but since the abuse in '05 occurred in CA they would have to be the ones requiring JH receive counseling. It doesn't look like CA CPS is still involved with the family so that's unlikely. If it were a condition of JH's parole/probation would they have allowed her to leave CA?
I hope we hear good news today.
Daisy, you quoted my post so I wanted to make sure you understood what I was trying to convey. I wasn't saying Jahessye was telling anyone she was abused.
When I said Jahessyemay have expressed these same feelings to Hunter; I was referring to what she told Hightower at the family bbq in April of this year. She said wanted to "go home". Home to Jahessye, was not with Hunter, but with the four cousins who raised her. If all of that is true, I have a very different perspective of what may have happened. In other words, if Hunter wasn't on good terms with the cousins and she knew they were reporting her to CPS. How would Hunter respond if Jahessye was telling her with any frequency, that she did not want to live with her? I don't think I am going out on a limb with this line of thinking.
Also, the news story I quoted above states; Hunter was released to unsupervised parole. What exactly does that mean?
