#1 She's much more than "emotionally fragile", she seems in very serious psychological trouble. This is going to take a few years of psychotherapy. I fear she may have been raped as well. The terror of her captors and what they might do to her (again?) is most evident.

#2 her first statements are to not be taken at face value - give her a break. She's obviously been abused, if not physically, then emotionally and mentally, by her detention

#3 I am giving her a break - most didn't mean any of that snide. She has been badly hurt (emotionallly, mentally, spiritually) and this is going to take some healing.

First words can actually tell a lot - but mostly only hint a the reality she went through. I not concerned about the content of her video, circumstances for heaven's sake, but the tone and demeanor reveal a lot of how hard this captivity was for her.

It's her very first insistence statements to the effect the they didn't hit her, they never even hit her - so urgent was she to communicate this. So insistent probably obeying a command. Or worse, the too-quick denial and then insistence of "nothing happened".

Jill has been badly hurt. I hope she will recover.
