Jaclyn G Very powerful and a must see. It is completely heartbreaking to see all forms of abuse she sustained, and how her parents, especially how her alleged “protective” mother didn’t really protect her. Doug Hutchison belongs in prison for what he did to her, as well as her parents, and especially her mother. I hope the world can now recognize the real truth about what happened to her, and look for the signs with individuals in their own lives. Her story isn’t original, and people like Doug and her mother will continue to get away with it if laws aren’t changed and adults don’t pay attention and take action to the obvious inappropriate behavior occurring. Instead of making her joke, I wish people, as well as myself would have done better and called CPS to at least try. Courtney’s bravery in this documentary should get as much recognition and attention as possible, and I hope people take the time to watch it.

This was really eye opening, emotional, and so well done. Really worth the watch. The actors portraying Courtney, Doug, and Courtney's mother all really did a great job in telling her story. Wow.
