I listened to Jessica's book. What a courageous women she is. Her father is vile & jail is the best place for him. I hope he never gets out.
Her mom knew. I'm reading the book now. She was a victim, too, though. Very sad situation.
I hope i find happiness …
I didn't see this and just came upon the story. My first thought was, what did he do to his children, and the youngest baby, bless her heart. Why didn't this man get the DP? It'll come in the form of prison justice.
Just read the (paperback version) for the second time. It’s so well written & so appalling. I see the same sort of relationship with my father towards my mother (cruel, mocking, deriding, reductive) and towards my brother. Boarding school spared us the teen years with our father. Much love to Jess & Sean ❤💜❤
Bruhh sah die fam 2014 bei got talent und jetzt so das is schon krass was passiert is bei den
The mother knew should have beem charged
She actually did tell her mother but the mother just ignored her…..
He should have been the one asking for a hug, and she be the one denying him
Damn
Spend time with the Willis's since we were young. I never liked Toby
They dont look like victims.
Most victim have deep mental health issues after abuse…and you can also see that they look disfigured like fat or skinny ..but those women all look fine…weird
How does the mom not know this 🙈🙈🙈
I read Jessica’s book. Toby Willis is a controlling, abusive, evil monster. The mother did know because she asked Jessica when she was eight or nine if dad was touching her inappropriately. Jessica shook her head that yes, he was. Nothing was done about it. Then several years later, her younger sisters went to the mother crying and complaining that their father was touching them inappropriately. The mother announced to the older kids/adults that dad was molesting the girls. Not only did the mom know, but the older kids/adults both male and female too and still no one told anyone or tried to have him removed from the house. FINALLY, Jessica escaped that prison and received help from her now husband, his family and counselors. Toby Willis was FINALLY reported and arrested for the rape of 4 female children (Jessica and her sisters). Thank God Jessica finally had the courage to run from that POS and that abusive household. So awful. It is horrific what that family endured. I do have to say that I understand the mom was being physically abused, and so were all the boys. When told by your children that their father and her husband was molesting his daughters and it was swept under the rug?! NO EXCUSE. THAT IS SICKENING. Those kids needed someone on their side. Mom, where were you?! I will never understand it.
She got in a relationship with a dude that looks like her dad. Hmmm? Don’t attack me I’m just pointing it out. I also think abuse is wrong
So very sorry for him telling you no 😭
We all know what is happening to the Dad in prison. What goes around comes around.
"can i have a hug." Wierd thing to ask an abuser.
My God, her bravery and courage is amazing❤
I’m surprised there hasn’t been a tv movie or something about this yet
Why would she want to hug him
How much time did this creepy horrible weirdo get for rape???
❤❤❤❤
She's so brave and courageous. I'm glad she found a good man to stick by her side
Jessica ty for speaking out. I am a survivor…& am learning now @ age 55 about the "shredding of life" that happens to the one who was assaulted. I am forever grateful for the Lord for having held my hand during all of evil that was done to me…Forgiveness found me & set me free❤
Ty for using your voice 😊
He looks mean.
I remember watching an episode of their show and feeling something was off with the dad. When everything came out, I said, of course, that's true. So sad. I guess I knew because of my own childhood trauma. The way he had the girls dress for exercising seemed odd. We exercised with our children, and they wore whatever comfortable things they wanted. How he looked at them with his deep circled eyes gave me the creeps. Now, I know why. I remember one episode where he forced one girl to sing when she didn't want to, broke my heart.
Hug from a parent who abused her???
Why would you want a hug from a monster?!
This appears to be very common in families.
praying for you jessica!!
That is heartbreaking that even after all the abuse and testifying she just wanted a hug from her dad
The fact that she still wanted a hug from her abuser shows how much she yearned for a decent father figure.
i watched them on tlc! this is very sad
It’s almost similar to the Duggars
I started watching their videos around 2016 and I only found out in like 2018 that the father was arrested. Broke my heart and childhood to know that! I hope she and her family get the healing they deserve. Everyone commenting about the mom y'all need to research domestic abuse. She was most likely abused as well and while it sucks that she didn't do anything, how do you expect her to help when she was abused as well? She was MARRIED to him so she was probably being abused for most of their relationship and just couldn't get out. And because it happened behind closed doors, you don't know if she did or didn't help at least a bit. And with Jessica's husband looking like her father, I mean its a trauma bond kind of thing, like a lot of abuse/sexual assault victims bond with people who look like their abusers. It's confusing, but that's how victims can get closure or y'know heal from the trauma.
OMG. I FORGKT ABOUT THEM HOLY
Having that many children is ALWAYS a red flag. Something sketchy always happens within huge families like this.
My mom liked watching that TLC show . I saw it probably twice and said that the dad is weird and creepy and i was right!
sadly i can relate but nothing was ever done and it was my parents first siblings later still happens sadly
It takes so much courage to speak out! I’m so proud of her. Abuse is absolutely devastating! I’ve been there. I’m so glad she has a supportive husband.
KARMA IS GOING TO GET HIM IN PRISON… HE WILL BE CALLING THE OTHER INMATES DADDY!!! DISGUSTING PERV/ PEDO!🤬🤬🤬🙄🙄🙄🤯🤯🤯😳😳😳😬😬😬
