“It is very frustrating,” she says. “I get extremely angry at this system that we have and the lobbyists that keep it in place, because there are a lot of people making a lot of money off it … if I could get her in front of the executives or the legislators, we will do it in a heartbeat.”

Ms Jensen says it’s important to her, as she shares updates on social media, to be hugely transparent about the ordeal that has upended her family.

“When I first started writing about this on social media, Caitlin thought that I was only posting the good and not the bad,” she says. “And I said, ‘No, I’m trying to be as real as I can.’
