Definitely earned a subscription!
I hope I get a nice birthday present this February in the form of these two women being incarcerated for life!
Plus, I was just rear ended last Wednesday!
At my new job I've only had a month, in their vehicle!
I don't think I've handled it well because I like this job and wanna keep it! 🤷♀️
Yes but what are your pronouns
She doesn't regret what she did. She just regrets that she got caught.
Children of RUclipsrs should have the same protections as children who perform on stage or in movies or on TV. Making money off your children is unethical.
Completely agree
I also completely agree.
100%
I agree. She said... she made millions...NO,her children made her millions 😢.
@@megschmeedafamcagreed..laws have already come out in other countries.
Anybody who puts their kids front and center on social media gives me the creeps.
Agreed. It’s also wrong of this channel to use their names and show their faces…
You re saying that out of jealousy
@@user-id6xq9xf9u huh?
Yeah, it’s an automatic don’t recommend
@@user-id6xq9xf9u jealous of what?
Ruby thought it was appropriate to punish a six year old for not being "personally responsible" but was willing to shift at least some of the blame for her behavior on someone else. The older daughter saying "finally" says it all.
Both of these women were enjoying being sadistic long before they became the duo of doom. The only light in this story is that none of these kids are dead.
I honestly feel like they knew this could end in the death of one of the kids but just didn't care.
The cops should dig up Jodi’s property. Given her history, there’s gotta be more victims. Maybe others weren’t as lucky as the Franke kids.
😮😢😢
Exactly!!! Frankes been doing messed up ish well before she came in contact w Jodi.
@@cynthiaroark1778 I've wondered the same thing. Between her niece & these children, were lots of years of God knows what. All those 'distortion' women should be questioned.
Good for the school teacher who refused to accept Ruby’s insanity. Send your child to school with lunch NO MATTER WHAT! Food should never be used as a punishment. Ever.
No dessert is one thing but that usually means they still had dinner. But to not let them eat at all.
What punishment?! The girl had forgotten to make herself lunch, that's all.
@@vaska1999her elementary child…
@@vaska1999it’s your job as a parent to make sure your child is fed
@@vaska1999 people like you are the reason that ruby gets away with all the things she did for so long. An elementary child is responsible for her own lunch - wtf is wrong with you?
Lesson learned:
Beware of those bloggers & influencers. Avoid them.
Not all of them are bad. You can't paint everyone with the same brush. There are good ones out there.
Who has time to watch all this crap on you tube. I like to watch videos of interesting stuff. But some holier than thou woman who is a terrible mother and thinks she’s wonderful is not it. Rather watch football stuff
More like beware of religious nutters
@@NurseSue425 I know! I don't get it! Why do these people have viewers in the first place? Who would want to watch this narcissistic sanctimonious woman anyway?
That neighbor call absolutely breaks my heart to hear a man emotional like that it had to be so hard for that man. 😟 Thank god for that man for calling!
Yes, a total stranger... So rough
It’s amazing to me this neighbor felt more compassion than his own mom.
I think most sane people would have reacted with horror and tears.
Poor guy was so emotional seeing this little boy emaciated and wounded. Absolutely heartbreaking to hear him describe what he's seeing. I'm so happy this child found the strength and courage to ask for help! He truly is a hero for his siblings!
Parents that make money from airing their children online are exploiting them. Its disgusting.
it would be different if they had the same protections as child actors and they made money that went it to accounts for them. Obviously I would want them treated well and since that doesn't seem to happen it totally is exploitation and its horrible. I wouldn't wish it on any child.
Her sister Bonnie is still exploiting her children every day
@@annieb0507 She is no Angel..........it's all about me me me and money. She is Fake also.
I agree. She didn't even LIKE her kids. Thry were a paycheck
Trisha Paytas!!
4:20 if my 6-year-old was responsible for making her own lunch, it'd be potato chips, pop tarts, two cupcakes, soda pop, a capri sun, and strawberries. If you're giving a child that responsibility, then you should also consider their input. This woman did this just to play an abusive power game, not to actually empower her kids.
Shockingly this is the exact makeup of many elementary lunches… raid the snack pantry. Kindergarten teacher here…
"I'm not going anywhere!"
Ah, yeah you are - TO PRISON!
What’s even more frightening is that million people watched this and subscribed and probably used her tactics in raising their children.
Hopefully law enforcement in those cases didn't turn a complete blind eye to what was going on like they did with Ruby and Jodie for years.
Well yeah, also considering the fact that CPS themselves asked her for a parenting advice upon leaving her house !
@@polinalo1191I highly doubt it. Ruby is a narcissist. If she didn’t outright lie in that clip then she probably misconstrued what the agent said
@@Jocelynex yeah, it’s just that it was said in the video that the CPS were charmed by her and even asked for advice. She sugarcoated the reality so well that they were literally hypnotized
@@Jocelynex
Exactly.
As an elementary school teacher I find it difficult to accept an apparent mother saying a 6 year old is responsible for packing her lunch. She’s 6!!!b6 year old are not responsible for anything, they’re too young. Her attitude is alarming and heartless.
Hi there - I am the mother of a 7 year old girl over in England.
I agree with your comment, and I wonder if you might give your opinion on something!
My 7 year old daughter has a teacher who insists children pack their own food and school bags, including necessary homework for the day etc.
I believe that 7 is too young for this responsibility, especially when the children are in trouble if they forget something. I think you’re the first teacher that seems to agree with me!?
I’ve put a bag checklist up for her to make it easier…
@@meganclaridge2235does she want the kids to pack their bag on their own or with a parent bruising them?
@meganclaridge2235
I also agree with you Megan...and that teacher should be working in a supermarket,she couldn't be a teacher. Your litle boy's job is playing, see the world, learn the world, be a child..."she" knows nothing about children, her heart is dried and she is not your boss to decide if you prepare the lunch or not. Remember: each lunch you prepare tk your son is an act of love....don't let nobody steal it from you both! SHE IS NOT A TEACHER, dhe can't teach!
I packed my lunch from age 6 or 7 on and don’t think that’s anything crazy to expect. What’s abusive is refusing to help the child if they forget their lunch and letting them starve. If the kid forgets, something has to be done to ensure they still eat.
Even as an adult i forget my lunch but 6 year old is normal to forget. Noone learn from starving.
“He was a great Dad.”
“He hasn’t seen the kids in years”
Yeah, says it all😂
Right!!!
"I can't stay with my wife anymore, shes too abusive to our kids so Im going to abandon them with their abuser instead" he left them with nobody in their corner
@@uggggggghhhhh I wounder if he tried. Society usually sees men as abusers... not women.
In a year, under advice of his therapist
The oldest son is clearly completely traumatized by the situation and he’s now taking out his frustrations and anger on his younger siblings… This was so depressing to watch because I mean… how many families are out there and have no eyes on them doing the exact same thing? We NEED to protect THE children.
Kevin Franke should AT LEAST be charged with neglect of children. He was allowing all of this to go on.
Ruby wore the pants what u probably don’t know is Kevin always did. What ruby wanted ruby wore the pants what ever she said went that brings me to the point ruby blamed the marriage breaking down on Kevin and she said he was toxic she didn’t Want the kids around that but the thing she was apart of runined marriage s also Keven always was present holidays birthdays he was in the vlogs a those times the most cuz he too time off when u saw Kevin in the vlogs he was kind when kids were sick he was hands on also ruby as time went on she dint really let kids decorate the house how they wanted I rember that Kevin was with them and at first they were all awkward but by the end of the vlogs they were smiling Kevin did not know what was happening because he left because that’s what ruby wanted and he had no contact with his kids that’s what. Ruby wanted if he knew he would fight like he’s is now. He was away when all this happened almost a year
@@unicornssprinklebutt9988 Nope, total nonsense.
They're his children. His "excuse" is that he hadn't had anything to do with them for a year and his wife was being all crazy. THAT is neglect!
Keven , "kind" ? We sure see that when he is so angry that the police haven't arrested his eldest daughter that he informs them, in full on Karen tone, that he's going to make a complaint.
And that was while two of his children were the hospital! But was he worried about THEM? No. Just about retrieving electronics that had information on them.
There's zero evidence of this kindness in that ghastly RUclips channel twaddle. Kevin crowing and happy about sending his eldest son to a camp which, "just like home" has no bed for his child.
Super duper kind.
@@unicornssprinklebutt9988If you're not man enough to step in and protect your own children, you do not deserve them.
Kevin knew what was going on and just stood by. Does not his religion admonish him to protect his children ?
This!!
It is not surprising that her older son bullies his younger siblings. He is actually following mom’s example of what you do with power. Wouldn’t it be great if she had demonstrated support and nurturing, a more positive use of experience, age and power?
That's what I was thinking too 🤔
Thought the same thing
Agreed. I wonder what sort of a father he will be. Let's pray he never becomes one
Yes! this is the comment I was looking for. Monkey see monkey do
I use to watch them on yt way before all this happened and I don’t think Chad was a bully. He did classic older brother annoying things but nothing that was trying to manipulate them. From what I remember he was the one who would mostly make slight jabs at his moms rules and what him and his siblings missed out on. That’s why they sent him away to that wilderness camp (that was also very abusive)
STOP watching ANY videos that feature children. Turn them off. Refuse to participate. Change starts with YOU.
Exactly...
Hearing Jesse talk about the torture and neglect they went through is so SICKENING. You have to be another type of evil to think it's okay to isolate and manipulate a minor who is trying to find their voice and confidence during that period in their life.
To have your own mother hold you under water close off your oxygen and kick you with her boots must be the most terrifying thing in the world to experience as a child! The one person that you define all safety and trust and love! Ruby destroyed everything she touched.
Woman of God 😂
The Mormon Cult teaches that if you don't follow their values and edicts exactly, you'll never be together with your family, and you'll go to the bad place when you die. So some parents freak out and go to extremes to ensure their children are "raised right" and don't end up in the bad place.
I can’t imagine the nightmares those kids are having. I shall 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for them.
I think she is just misunderstood
@@epv3576 "There's more to the atrocity."
I don’t buy that Kevin is so innocent. Shame on him. They are his children and he let them down.
Absolutely not-although it looks like things became worse recently, even when they were together and posting on youtube, you could see things were not right. Kevin was still helping to make decisions when one of the boys was sleeping in communal room of the house with no bed for months. Ruby was just more upfront about her awful, abusive parenting.
Kevin has not been charged. He was not involved.
@@IndianOutlaw1870no he wasn't involved. But he never stepped in. His eldest daughter tried harder than him.
@@IndianOutlaw1870 That's called child neglect.
@@IndianOutlaw1870he's just as guilty for allowing it without reporting it. Shame
She's never forgotten to vlog, like she's never forgotten to eat and breathe herself. Unlike feeding her children...
The main point to take away from this: The daughter said they repeatedly reported them, and nothing was done by CPS. The only time action was taken was when the boy ran away, and a neighbor called the police where he pointed out all the injuries, and it could no longer be hidden from the public. Sickening.
I don't think she doesn't want the kids to testify to spare them, I think it's to spare MORE awful details of what she did, that they'd share
Obviously
She gets off on punishing her kids. She never once felt bad about the punishments. Jail is where she belongs.
No, did you watch this? LOL.
I remember how she just loved the thought of her 6 year old being hungry at school because she forgot her lunch. She even said that she hoped nobody at the school would give her any food so that she'd "learn her lesson."
one thing about jail, child abusers are often shanked
“We have to seperate to save our marriage” what kind of oxymoronic nonsense is that???
Imagine being jailed for theft and having Ruby Franke as a roomate in prison. Jesus.
To make her 6’0 tall son sleep on a bean bag for SIX months is absolutely cruel. It’s sadistic. It’s not torture but it’s a new level of mean
Not advocating for what she did...but what would you have done considering why she took his room from him?
@@itsknotmagic not take his room away at all
I watched the video where Kevin justified his oldest son being sent away to that camp and sleeping on the bean bag for 6 months, with Ruby by his side. I think Kevin should be sent to the same camp for 6 months for being such a neglectful dad and not standing up for his children during 8 Passengers!
@@harper_anne2089 exactly and I know he wouldn’t have lasted out the four months, he was so cocky that they were doing it with a therapist who turned out to be Jodie. How did that work for him? I only wish Ruby could be given the same punishment that she dished out to RF and EF. I fear for them when they are adults because the amount of sunburn they have experienced, especially RF I’ve suffered over 10 years with skin cancer, and it’s not an easy journey and I was never burnt to the extent that they have. 😢
What if it was one of those really nice bean bags
Punishes her son for months by taking away his bedroom, personal space and then proceeds to allow everyone to laugh while she has a smirk? She's twisted.
They were laughing at the cruel "pranks" done to the young boy by his older brother. Wonder where Chad got that from. But I agree she's twisted.
But he was really mean to his brother!?!
He was cruel. But the consequences were crazy. And look how quickly he backed down. He was scared.
I‘m a mom and I laughed hard at the prank. I would have encouraged him to think of more similar pranks. I thought that was so funny 😅.
I thought of one:"Yes Mom, you're in a care home but I love you and will call every day and visit every weekend!" @@tizitapusch9780
love how she says "its not funny" while she herself is laughing and grinning huge
I did not know about the last punishments. Incredible. For me, the unforgivable situation was when Ruby was driving their kids somewhere and witnessed a car crash that occured very near them. She suddenly started scolding her kids in a manner of a "life lesson", that they should have been the ones that crashed and possibly died. That, for a kid, is so traumatizing.
What a sick nasty person I hope she rots in jail
I am sorry...WHAT?! Did she do that in a video?
I hope the man who made that 911 call got some therapy. Bless his heart, he was literally in tears.
You are an observant and caring woman, my Michelle.
Yes, I believe he lives in Arizona.
@@FullSugarBrah lol too much dude
It occurs to me that it's the modern penchant for rushing off to so-called "therapy" for anything and everything that causes these problems in the first place.
It's not a mental health problem to be upset about something. It's an absolutely normal and healthy human response
Yes, sending him love. An amazing human.
The husband was there for the bed being taken away & the refusal of lunch. He abandoned his children completely. This man is CULPABLE & he should NEVER get custody of his children. He should spend the rest of his life making up to his children for abandoning them when they needed him. The icing on the cake was when he wanted to press charges on his daughter for taking things from the home. This man is a SAD example of a father.
He was victim as well but I know men gets no sympathy
He could have reported her long time ago. He is not a victim
He already did get custody.
Grow up and man up. What a disgrace @@christopherlewis2194
@@christopherlewis2194A victim doesn’t watch from the sidelines while his wife abuses his kids.
"This hurts me as much as it hurts you." Actually, Ruby no it doesn't it hurts way worse. The woman is a monster.
I’m happy to say I had never heard her name until she was on national news. But this is so heartbreaking.
I’ve never heard of her until today 👀
The internet has turned some parents insane. Constantly sharing your children with the world for money is sick
I won't even post photos of my family on social media.
Especially not my grandkids.
It's complete and utter narcissism.
And the idiots following them 🤦♀️🤦♀️😂😂
@@petersmithyy4556 eve Uttaranchal. S
If i were to post minor children i would be asking permission to their parents before posting.
I’m 38 years old. When I was growing up I had a very abusive father. He did drugs. He did them in the house. I used to call the police to my house and ask them to take my dad to jail and they never would. They would say “well what are we supposed to do with you? Maybe you just need some discipline.” Once I handed them an empty drug bag with drug residue and they said this: “I don’t know what you want us to do with this. There’s nothing in it. We are taking your dad to jail for the night because he has a traffic warrant. But he will be home tomorrow.
We begged them to take us out of the home and they wouldn’t. My dad was always more sad and emotional when he came home from jail, but as he used would get more and more angry about the original 911 call that got him arrested to begin with.
When I grew up I didn’t know how to live normally or to cope healthily. I was never shown. I left home at 17 and worked and got an apartment and enrolled in alternative high school. But this was a house of cards that collapsed with the death of my first boyfriend and I used drugs and alcohol in distress. It wasn’t until I went to rehab for 6months at 29 years old that I learned how to live a good life and learned how to cope.
CPS and professionals like police need to believe kids when they tell them something is wrong. Kids know and they aren’t just spoiled. Because I got called that.
So sorry to read this! They do need to believe kids!
Sorry you suffered Patty. Are they groups that help to improve things, so this happens less often?
Im so glad you doing better
Keep up

I’m so sorry. It’s a tragedy that kids grow up like this. 😢😢 I’m glad you’re better now please just keep on moving forward 🥇🥇🥇

Just imagine the advise they gave out to parents… and they LISTENED.
Those two women together - there is physical intimacy. In their body language, their postures as they pose together, everything.
Many of us called this way before this happened. Her abusive ways were all over her videos and no one took us serious.
I noticed how her kids were timid on her videos.
exactly, the petition and even her sister Bonnie was called to RUclips HQ because of her kids always being in the ER in her videos and they still get to be on RUclips exploitation
Look at her face. It says everything.
Right. We could all see the signs of ab*se way before this all happened. Those poor little kids.
She is a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
Crocodile tears. Ruby is a demon. And there is no shred of doubt in my mind that Kevin knew his kids were in danger, he just didn't care. He left his children in the care of demons.
"A man of God" 🙏
Yup, demonically possessed individuals.
Religious people are so dangerous. Why are they so hateful?!
He started the video saying "worldwind" and halfway through the video I still can't stop thinking about it.
Yes. That sounded so ridiculous. 😮
This was the first video I watched on this channel. I found it informative and fair.
CPS in that state needs to be investigated. They denied those poor kids help so many times. There should be stricter rules or something, this is ridiculous.
It is Utah so they lean HEAVILY towards the parents side over the child...as these families always 5-9 children....its sort of a inner cult. A wink wink nudge nudge, because almost all those type of jobs in Utah are held by Mormons..as are the family court judges. Not a good state to be a child in
The whole area is run by Mormons and different rules apply unfortunately
Absolutely. Whole of Utah's system, wether its law enforcement or CPS is a discusting corrupt failure.
No hope there....
@@karyng4448 Typical religious hypocrisy. Do as I say, not as I do...

It’s hard to even look at her. She’s the epitome of smug & self-serving.
She won't be so smug when she's in the slammer. She'll be lucky if she makes it a year.
She is so cringe and weird
She thinks she is fooling everyone with her innocent behavior. She is evil incarnate
That's what I thought the first time I saw her, this is the second vid I've seen of her and that other awful woman!
I don't remember what the other vid was about but I remember thinking that I didn't like either of them!!
I couldn't put my finger on why but I never ignore that feeling that somethings off!
For example..
This guy was upset with me cuz I wouldn't be his gf, or prolly just that I wouldn't sleep w/him.
He damaged my car.
But about a decade later I found out he'd been in prison for DV!

I can’t believe she got so many followers sharing this craziness!!
My youngest son repeatedly forgot to bring his lunchbox back from school. My “punishment” was to pack his lunch in a brown paper bag the next day. This would remind him to grab the lunchbox and put it in his backpack. Easy peasy. No need to ever be unkind to your kids
You are not a sociopath.
I'm a father of 2 who are now teenagers, the details of this scum treating her children actually made me feel physically sick. Now I have a very strong stomach but I barely made it through this video.
She should be subjected to the EXACT treatment her kids experienced, I firmly believe that
👌🏼👌🏼
I agree
Yep. Eye for an eye justice!
YES PLEASE MAY I WATCH
I felt same way!
Some people truly should never have kids. I can't imagine the trauma that these kids will carry for the rest of their lives...
I hate the religious types that are only religious within their own parameters like Ruby
Same. Complete false Christians. With their values, they clearly don’t worship MY god.
Those types are ironic
No “good” dad is not seeing his kids for a year… there’s no way any man doesn’t know what his kids are going through
That's right no matter what blame the men
I agree he had to have knew.
@@christopherlewis2194 who’s blaming him? I’m saying he knew something.
How do you know he knew something?
@@TheOnlyGuitarFatherare you the dad?
I hope Kevin doesn't get custody over children. If he cared for them he wouldn't accept to be away from them for a year and to not know their whereabouts!
Plus, HE blocked his children's numbers on his phone. If they wanted it needed to reach him, for help, he made it so they couldn't.
Agreed!! He took NO responsibility for his own children. He should have taken her to court and fight for custody then.
Not a single member of that family should be allowed anywhere near those kids.
And then the people claim men and women have equal rights, it's not neglect if a man stays away and leaves his children to their fate, but if a woman does it.. He was there when his son slept on a bean bag for 7 months for a little prank against his younger brother.. He probably heard her say when his son laughed about it "oh you're laughing so you haven't learned yet, I think we need to have you sleep on the floor longer" imo, he's just as guilty. But atst these things happen every day everywhere and nobody will ever be punished for it, for at least Christians are taught to honor their mother and father.
The way he wanted to press charges on the eldest daughter tells you everything you need to know about him
My son is 8 and forgot his book bag last week with his lunch in it yea it was inconvenient but as a mom I do not expect him to be flawless, I went back and brought it. Yesterday I forgot my wallet, did I think I was deserving of a punishment? No. Mistakes happen
I am really happy, that her subscribers didn't just follow her blindly, but were analyzing what she says and shows, bringing attention to what was wrong
Breaking doctor/patient confidentiality should warrant a permanent suspension/expulsion.
She certainly is a PSYCHOtherapist.
Very well said!
I completely agree. My therapist did the same thing when she discussed my private info with my husband. Now I don't trust any of them.
When it’s a MINOR that doesn’t apply with parents.

It’s a shame this didn’t happen before the oldest son turned 18. He needs help and he doesn’t seem like the type to choose to go to therapy.

That is why it is important to know what information you are taking away from social media. Social media have turned people into experts on things they are not.
Cautionary tale.
It’s one thing to foster an environment of love.
To imbue and bestow proper virtues and values in a thoughtful way, is a jagged path.
Blessings for these children.
So Randy Kester, "Mr. Attorney" says that Kevin Franke "LOVED" his children not present tense, "love"????? that's very telling!
He's so creepy. I noticed that as well. "Loved"
Going to a camp and sleeping rough is part of the experience.
Sleeping on the floor at home because your mom took away your room is something completely different and wrong.
Exactly.
yes however in this case the "wilderness camps" mentioned are well known to have extremely poor conditions. usually it involves kids sleeping in outdoor conditions for months, sometimes years. its not just "camping".
sleeping on the floor here - bad. sleeping on the floor there - good. makes sense.
"It hurts me just as much as it hurts my kids..."
I dispute that. I feel that the thrill and satisfaction of complete and utter control was her payment and reward. None of this, in the minds of even the strictest parents I know, would be deemed proportional or necessary.
It's hurtning now though, huh?
I love rubys "im not going anywhere"
Surprise !!! Yes, you went somewhere ...
I laughed so hard when she said that.
You were never at battle, Ruby. You just needed to feed and be nice to your kids.
Makes you wonder, how many people followed her advice, and treat their kids just like her.
My daughter has 3 sons and she's far stricter than I care for. But after watching this sick woman, I'm no longer worried about the boys. None of them have had to explain themselves like Chad has had to do. They prank their brothers, but when it goes a bit far they get grounded for a week. They always have a room and a bed...
When strangers are more compassionate to children then their own parents. How sad.
the saddest thing about this is, imagine how many family vloggers are still hiding behind their fake positivity. if you guys really think that this is rare, then you cant see through the real problems that social media has overall.
I completely agree!!
If they're a family vlogger then they are an abuser. No sane person makes content out of their children.
She had a wonderful life. She had money and 6 healthy kids. She had everything one could ask for. Feeling really sick that one mother could do this, she isn't at all in remorse.
Well they had money after exploiting their children 😢 things were always bad, but escalated to the worst
@@andreasolis85not for her. Her life has been wonderful but for her kids, things were terrible.
Yes, a good life and 6 healthy kids!!!? Terrible, she didn't deserve those kids.
ITS NOT HER BIOLOGICAL CHILDREN ITS MY OPINION
Having 6 kids is a wonderful life? That sounds horrific haha
When you have really good kids and you make them feel like they they are bad....
It’s disgusting. She stopped to vlog so she could do all these atrocities.
Being exposed to sunburns as a child sets a person up for melanoma later in life; I hope they will get regular skin checks after all the burns they endured. I was also suspicious of Kevin’s concern for his kids. When Ruby sent him the emergency text, he responded that he was at work. A caring father would have asked what was going on and ask if the kids were alright.
Well, he was kicked out before. So, what is was he supposed to do receving a text message from the beatch who betrayed him
@@user-zr3vq6qy5uit's not like he had no clue what she was doing.. just typical Mormon things. 😊
So Kevin got Ruby how many times pregnant, before he realized that woman is cruel to their children? Seriously!
The baffling part is that the father is not being held accountable. As if it is solely the mother’s responsibility to be nurturing and caring.
For what I’ve seen around several youtube channels, the father was fully aware.
RUclips should just not allow family channels to thrive with children on it.
Many people are complaining now, but many were seeing the content and this encouraged the parents to do vile things to their kids for views and likes.
CPS needs to be sued. They are the absolute worst. I am so sick of hearing about these cases, where someone could have done something before it got this bad, but CPS walks away with a , "Oh, they seem okay". Idiots 😡🤮
Thank you for sharing this video essay/timeline.
While Ruby is pointing the finger at Jodi, she can’t blame Jodi for her bad behaviour and treatment of ALL those kids in the YEARS preceding August 2023.
Ruby filmed and uploaded very concerning behaviours. Viewers of those videos were concerned about the children. Some people contacted the authorities.
Both of these women need to be looked at very closely. Both have a history of abusive and controlling behaviour and BOTH need to be investigated for their actions before they met, before August 2023.
Ruby should not be allowed to simply blame Jodi for everything that happened.
The dude needs to be charged as well. NO EXCUSE.
Kevin is just as guilty as she is... he allowed and watched what happened there for years.
I would never let anyone do something like that to my child ...never....
If I had just one thought like that... I would seek treatment . Starving, standing in the sun for hours, no friends, wounds...diving into ice water .....and and and.....
it hasn't been for a year ...but years ..... The eldest daughter had broken off contact with both parents ...The divorce thing is just to make him seem innocent... shame on u both
Maybe he was another one of her torture victims
@@Uncle_Shamnah, he’s just weak and went along with whatever she said in order to have continued access to her.
100% he should face some punishment also.
@@Uncle_Sham when he was a victim..why did he say he didn't want to separate when Hildebrand said they should be separated for a while ....and the and the real problem....why didn't he make sure he took the children with him....with all the RUclips evidence and child abduction he could definitely have taken legal action ...100%
He didn't care... I was a victim of domestic violence for years... the day he started threatening our son I went to the police and court and never looked back ....
@@kitty_cato you talk like you were there with them, you assume a lot
23:00 absolutely shocking that police have a child telling them shes sleeping outside in winter and they don't do anything about it 😳 wtf
Remember this is a cult that breeds narcissists.
How many other Ruby Frankes are still out there that we don't know about?
Millions.
They both should be put into prison 15 years this is absolutely sickening! Ruby should never get to see her kids! I am sorry she is evil!
Why you sorry?
15 years??? Life!.
Kevin, to say that you LOVE your children and still be out of contact with them for a year with an unhinged mother is rather strange but, to each his own I guess
I remember going through a phase of watching family vlog channels before realizing the problems with them. I’m neurotypical but still struggle with noticing things like that. I came across her channel probably six years ago. Keep in mind I never noticed anything wrong with the unjust exploitation of minors then, but this one always seemed off. I don’t support any of them anymore but they also seemed wrong and I’m glad these children are finally free
Social media is full of self-proclaimed "experts" on every subject matter. The problem is that much of the audience do not make the least effort to vet their credentials and laps up misinformation, shares it with their friends and so forth. This is one example of how awful that approach is.
It’s trash. Social media is all fake. Fake people with fake lives and 80% incels and social misfits commenting day in day out.
Just as many credentialed people support and promote terrible advice. People need to know how to evaluate advice for themselves not just look for credentials.
@@curiositydidntkillme - That's not true. Not just as many credentialed people support bad advice. If you want to build a house you consult an architect. If you are ill you see a doctor. If you want to build software you consult programmers. You go to the people with the credentials/qualifications and demonstrable experience within a field, not to someone without credentials in the area.
That is not to say they are always correct, and it will depend on the particular area, but they have a basis of knowledge which those who do not have the credentials, and are simply self-proclaimed experts who actually know very little, do not possess.
I support the premise of evaluating advice. I do not support the idea that those who have earnt credentials are equally as unreliable as those who have not.
I agree. I see and hear it all the time. It’s frightening!!
What popular people show on social media, and what happens at their homes when no one is watching, are completely different things...
i mean... ruby did show what a horrible and abusive mother she could be in her own videos. it looked terrible with just what she wanted her audience to see.
@MrCrimeVideo well….yeah 🥴
Actually, she did show it on social media, and a lot of people reported her for it.
In hindsight after seen the whole video I don't think the 6 year old daughter forgot her lunchbox, this was punishment and when the teacher asked she made up that she forgot. That mother is evil. She probably didn't think that teacher would ask or insist the mother would bring the food. There was clearly anger in her face telling the story. Poor girl may have had to suffer consequences because of this.
“I’m not going anywhere” *goes to jail* i believe you went somewhere freakin monster
I love the thought of the other moms in prison finding her papers🙏
Right! Most of those ladies want to go home to their babies
Not sure how long she will make it in prison.
And I hope she NEVER feels one second of peace. Never knowing when someone will decide to jump her or worse.
Right! I heard that prisoners who are parents themselves would go after child abusers in pretty bad way, sometimes kills them.
I NEVER in a MILLION years would've thought Ruby would end up in PRISON!!! KEVIN needs to join her. RUclips needs to do away with family channels. The millions she made of the backs of her children is being used to pay her lawyers!
I believe it's off RUclips, I ain't seen it or found it
@@littlebit66624 yeah that is because she had deleted the family channel long before she was arrested for this...
Maybe the father is another one of her torture victims
@@Uncle_Sham that dude was definitely NOT a vic. At all. He knew exactly what was happening before he left.
@@2TexasTuff how come you havent come forward as a witness against him then. Go ahead contact the police since you know
I first saw a video documenting Ruby's behavior and this whole cult-like family around 2021, and to see that she was actually arrested is tbh, soo satisfying! I'm so sorry for those kids and I hope they recover and have full happy life.. The parents on the other hand.
It's scary to know how many people do this and no one knows
The father knew. I had a very similar abusive childhood. My adoptive Uncleb stood by like a coward and watched my aunt torture me mentally and physically every single day.
Such evil people, I'm sorry that happened to you ❤
If he was charged you wouldn't be blaming his wife
@@christopherlewis2194 what are you talking about
That sneaky husband needs to be held accountable, too.
Kevin - they are coming for you next dude. Watch…
In a jailhouse phone conversation Ruby’s question to Kevin “Are WE in the news?” Was incredible. The all knowing and wise Ruby hasn’t a clue!
The damage she and her partner did was massive and the Mormon Church referred so many struggling couples to Ms. Hildebrandt and permanently shattered other marriages. The Mormon Church should be held accountable as well.
