Thank you to everyone who is here for sweet little Skyler.
Thank you, Billy -- please feel free to restore my first post on the previous page for those who haven't read it yet.
As for some new information I've learned -- it turns out that Jodi did in fact refer to adoption and foster care in some recent posts she made in the last few months, though it wasn't particularly clear that she was an adoptive parent herself. I had unfortunately not seen posts mentioning Skyler and her brother until a few days ago, but word has started to spread amongst my graduating class, and so they've shared some of what they had seen with me. As I've gone through some of her recent posts, I can relay to you some of what she's posted, though just a heads-up, some of what I share may be disturbing to some. (I will mostly paraphrase what she wrote since screenshots & direct quotes isn't allowed)
On Dec 29 at 6:03, Jodi posted about her "son" -- it's not entirely clear if she's referring to Skyler or his brother, but I found it eye-opening nonetheless, and I believe she is indeed talking about Skyler, given his age. Anyways, in this post, Jodi talked about how there were some days where he struggled to make his own bed despite knowing how to do it in 2 minutes. From her perspective, she felt that his struggle with doing this task on certain days was due to him struggling with his own self-worth "with a side of shame and guilt." However, she felt that giving him just one task/chore of making his bed had helped him a lot and that he enjoyed doing it and "being proud of himself." She felt that despite the bad days, it had improved his outlook.
Just my own thoughts/interpretation here in response to seeing that particular post -- I'm not sure what she's referring to when she mentions Skyler's "shame and guilt," but given how she would isolate him for hours at a time and basically torture the kid, I'm not surprised he was having some mental struggles to go along with what he was going through physically. I also find this to be a bit cryptic by her (not the first time she would be cryptic, as I found), and she obviously wasn't telling everyone the full truth of what was going on behind the scenes. I believe she very well knew that she had something to do with his "bad" days, no matter how much she tried to make it seem on her FB page like it was purely just Skyler having his issues and her trying to "help" him. The 911 responder hearing her say, "It's my fault," in the background on the night Joe called for help on the night of January 5th speaks to that, I believe.
The day before, on Dec 28 at 5:29 PM, she had a long post, in which she described making it through 8 weeks and 4 days of phase one with something called "Doodle," as well as completing 1 week of phase 2. Wasn't able to really find what she was referring to with Doodle, other than it being some kind of scheduling tool. That said, she also mentioned that she would soon start phase 1 with Skyler's brother. She stated how she's grateful to God everyday for saving her family and helping her heal "our boys." In this same post, she referenced having weekly or biweekly calls with Nancy Thomas, the same individual they would later claim to have learned the "swaddling" technique from that killed Skyler. She referred to Nancy Thomas as "Nancy from the documentary 'child of rage.' " Jodi also later mentioned that on her to do/read list was clearing the "4 generational curses" from her youngest, which was likely Skyler's brother. I haven't looked into this that much, but this appears to be a biblical reference; it seems as the 4 generational curses are (1) idolatry/the occult, (2) sinful patterns, (3) destructive behaviors and faulty mindsets, and (4) physical/mental sicknesses. Yeah, they were clearly
deep into whatever they were doing -- but again, Jodi and Joe were not fully revealing the extreme lengths that they were going to on FB.
On December 24, Jodi had an extremely length post about proposed policy changes for Child Protective Services and "The Courts" regarding complex developmental trauma and Reactive Attachment Disorder. I may seek approval from an admin to post a screenshot or direct quote in its entirety, but right off the bat, Jodi seems to be concerned with her rights to her adoptive kids being terminated and/or her and Joe being threatened with criminal charges/incarceration because of the way they are trying to help Skyler and/or Skyler's brother for their behavior and/or previous history of trauma.
And lastly... the post that one of my classmates brought to my attention that disturbed me the most. It came on December 22 at 10:02 AM. She described how relieved she was to be getting a 2 week break after 8 weeks and 4 days of "pouching" Skyler, saying that she felt so free. SHE was the one feeling freedom and relief to be getting a break... almost as if she was the one enduring that nightmare. Just unreal. She also mentioned that she would be pouching Skyler's brother, noting that he weighed 33 pounds. As she would later reiterate on December 28th, she expressed the sentiment (in all caps) that God saved her family and prayers had been answered... before what I would now describe as cryptically saying, "Evil spirits fought." Sadly, we all know what that truly means now, but again, it just goes to show she was publicly celebrating her own treatments while hiding the full nature of it from those that could read these posts. To me, it speaks to her guilty conscience and knowing full well that sharing what she was actually doing had a good chance of receiving backlash.
In this Dec 22nd post, she also mentioned that "Phase 2" was in full effect for Skyler's brother and that he was getting a 2 week break as well, which she attributed to testing boundaries before going "back in the pouch," further stating in an edit that he was currently being pouched and had been pouched for 2 hours at that point. She described Skyler ("my older son") as being eager to be pouched as well and that he was initially jealous of his brother's pouching. The edit history of this post is a bit confusing, but it would seem Skyler's brother may have received this "treatment" first. Jodi referred to this treatment as attachment therapy and how it had been "a trip" getting out the "angries" and "sads" from her adopted kids for 60 days straight and asserting that simply giving her adopted kids love was not sufficient enough. The logical conclusion here, I think, is that Jodi's version of love was the problem...
Anyways, I think this post is long enough, but I certainly thought this was all important to share with you all. It speaks to Jodi's state of mind and how disillusioned she was, as well as how her religiousness played into things. Everything she perceived as abnormal with Skyler and his brother, she convinced herself was the result of this attachment disorder, which I have come to believe she diagnosed herself without the input of an actual professional who would be far more qualified. She seemingly never thought her treatment was exacerbating things or creating new symptoms, and she likely ignored the dangers of the treatment she was performing, if she ever even read about that or looked into it at all. Joe was not as active on social media as Jodi, but I could see he would occasionally "like" quite a few of her posts, and he ironically had posted an anti-abortion stance caption/image on June 29, 2022, of how the lives of foster children & disabled children has meaning and shouldn't be denied by others, which Jodi "liked/loved" as well. I would imagine they both went down the dark downward spiral in this together, though Jodi was far more vocal about it on her FB page and generally far more active on FB than he was.
I'll provide updates if I get any more; hoping there's more news to come if and when their upcoming March 6th court appearance takes place. FWIW, I also reviewed some direct messages I exchanged with Jodi back when we were in school, and it was evident back then that she was deeply religious. It's sad to read it back now... back then, I thought she was just curious to learn about what I believed in for purely altruistic reasons, but now it reads almost as if she partly wanted to make sure my beliefs were "agreeable" enough with hers. A former classmate of mine that knew them better mentioned to me recently that she and Joe loved to "convert" people and make them believe in what they did, and that wasn't just limited to religion. ...The more I learn about them and everything that went on, the more I'm in disbelief.
