Firstly, I want to make this comment: Jayce may not really "know" whether those children have ever been bothered. If, in fact, she was kept in the back, and they went on "outings" with daddy & mommy dearest, then how could she know?
Secondly, I keep reading here about how much of a "good mother" jaycee was to her children, given the circumstances. In that regard, NOW don't misunderstand me here, but we have to remember that up until Jaycee was rescued, those children didn't even know that Jaycee was her mother. They thought she was their older sister! And, I'll bet she was damn good one. I also know a couple of older sisters who did indeed basically raise their young siblings with mostly absentee mom's. Nonetheless, I have a icky, heart-sick feeling that they called Nancy MOM, just like they called Phillip, Daddy. I can't help but wonder after Jaycee gave birth, how long was it before those children were "taken away from her". (And that makes sense, when she told her mother "mom, I have babies" instead of "mom, I have children, or two young daughters". Did they treat her like a surrogate mother and just take the kids away as soon as they could? Even if it was just emotionally and not physically, what a horrible thing to do, deprive a mother of her children. But, somehow, I just can't see Nancy and Phillip just letting Jaycee raise those kids herself. Firstly, she was only 15 when her first daughter was born, she was just a child herself. It's all so sick, and those pictures of the girls in that family vacation outing, with Phillip & Nancy & whomever was in the wheel chair (Jack?).....sick and disgusting... trying to portray the happy little family. Where was Jaycee?? So, anyway, Phillip, Nancy (and Gramma Patricia) attempting to "make a good family home", FAHGET ABOUT IT!!! JMO
