Let’s all remember that this is happening in Utah. Where cults, religious zealots, polygamy, and pedophilia are rampant. I’ve literally seen videos of people transporting CHILDREN in horse/livestock trailers and making them go to the bathroom in a bucket in Utah. The whole state needs to step up its game when it comes to child welfare and abuse. I’m surprised she even got arrested at all tbh with all of the bs they let slide in that state. It’s honestly disturbing and disgusting. This whole thing is. I’m all for teaching children independence and self sufficiency but this is beyond gross.
I’m lds and I agree. It gets out of hand sometimes and they do it in the name of religion which isn’t ok. The good Christians are the ones that treat people kindly and love everyone
FR I have an aunt in Utah who’s kids looked exactly like these kids. They’d be eating a ton of food like they were starving when extended fam had parties .
@Purelylia You're clueless if you think it only happens in Utah and Christians are the main culprits. It's 100x times worse in the rest of the non-White and jewish world. Stop spreading misinformation and hate against specific people/groups you know nothing about. People like you are the problem in the world.
It's not hilarious, he was acting cruel like his mom. He probably hoped to win her approval. But she flipped the script so he knows who the TRUE prankster will always be. Pranks like those are meant to exert dominance, and she was threatened her older son tried to dominate the younger because she is worried he'll one day try it on HER
That "prank" is a perfect example of mirroring the abuse the kids had been suffering at the hands of this evil woman and continuing the cycle. It was not funny. It was never funny. It's traumatic and abusive. The boy's purpose was literally to inflict pain and sadness with no happy ending. So, no. It wasn't "hilarious."
My jaw dropped when I heard her say “um it’s her responsibility to pack her lunch, so she’s gonna have to starve, hopefully no one gives her anything!” This is ridiculous! I can’t believe she recorded all this and thought this is normal! This is not normal!!!
So your landlord or mortgage provider comes to you after missing a payment the next day with an eviction notice. Seems like you ain’t got nothing on that. It’s a harsh reality in the world to be irresponsible.
@@michaelbrent4430dude, she’s a fucking six year old. Her mother has a responsibility to ensure she’s fed. Malnourishment isn’t how you teach responsibility, I hope you don’t have kids or plan on having them
@@michaelbrent4430She was 6 years old and her child! I think a little grace and mercy was warranted. The mom should be packing her lunch at that age anyway.
@@StarryNightt. okay sweetie. You can have your opinion. Frankly I’m done arguing with all of you that refuse to acknowledge kids need taught tough lessons.
@@michaelbrent4430 Wtf? You're comparing a tenant-landlord relationship to a mother-child relationship? These are underage CHILDREN who are supposed to be taken care of by their parents. You are messed up.
The way she said "You're going to lose the privilege to eat dinner" is just so cold. My own mom used to do this shit, and it honestly just makes me sick to think that someone like this could not only keep her channel up, but also avoid getting arrested for so long. I'm glad she's been arrested, because her children didn't deserve any of what they went through. Also dude, that second clip is just so disturbing. The way she smiles at the camera and laughs- It makes me wonder what happened after that when he talked about getting his room taken away. Her behavior when someone brings up the abuse is just so obvious. Ruby is an evil excuse of a human being.
@@foodpurposes4730 Depriving children of food as punishment is abuse, and given the condition the children were found in when she was arrested it didn't seem like once in a while. Go to hell.
Every single thing about this woman is disgusting. Never heard of her until the arrest but I really can’t see any reason why anyone would watch her videos and like her. Even before they knew she was abusive. Like there’s just a really awful self absorbed mean energy coming from her all the time
the main audience of family channels are children. they dont know any better which is why her and many other sick influencers flew under the radar so long when it came to crimes against children.
Glad they are holding her without bail. She Actually thinks abusing her kids is funny. It is abuse. She actually said she hopes no one gave her daughter lunch?? This woman was Nuts. CPS really dropped the ball on THIS. They need to investigate them as well.
CPS is a joke. Full stop. No need to clarify the state. CPS mishandles, and literally MISPLACE children on a daily basis. Look into it. It’s a horrible organization taking kids from bad situations to worse ones.
@@bombdotcom2168 and the extended family should've spoken out sooner i remember there was a post that the aunts were saying "we kept quiet for the kids sake" and that makes no sense because if they really cared about the kids they would have and should have spoken out about the abuse
@@esumoriS Exactly. I hate that BS about keeping quiet or whatever for the kid's sake. Like- I know full well that CPS/DCFS especially in Utah is an absolute joke but those kids were literally being abused and exploited daily by their own mother and it sounded like there were at least places for the kids to go outside of foster care if they were taken out of the home.
At 1:26 when the young man has the 1,000 yd stare and nail biting, he's nervous. He summons his courage and says what's on his mind and why he doesn't have friends. And for a brief moment it looks like Ruby has become aware of her actions but as quickly as the realization came to her the faster she dismissed it.
I feel like that woman only had kids just to abuse them. There’s no ounce of care or empathy in that woman. She is pure evil. Glad she is being sent to jail with no bail. She deserves every second being locked up.
That was the purest prank ever wtf. Also the look in the poor girls eyes when the entire world is told she probably won't get her phone back. Way to isolate your kids from any hope of making friends their own age. She looked so humiliated and was trying to cover for it with humour I just feel so sad for her.
The scary part is that the channel was terminated for "unknown reasons" before this news came to light and as you can see, the kids looked absolutely fine in the videos. So, I think that once the children have no value to Ruby herself, she started mistreating and abusing them because she doesn't love them.
@@Maryculligan That's how my relationship with my dad is. My mom sucked, he didn't, you'll never guess who gets more visits and more help. I bet you anything Ruby's gonna flip out when her kids don't want to visit her in jail
This woman is psychotic. You can see how unhinged she is in her face and eyes. I would NEVER treat my children this way. She deserves to be locked up forever
@@lifeofatruckerswife so sad! And even more sad how common it is :( parents who continue their generational traumas instead of making change makes me so mad
Believe me, my jaw dropped a few times watching this, especially when she was talking about how it’s her five-year-old child’s responsibility to pack their own lunch, and that hopefully no one gives her any food and then threatening to cut her teddy bears head off I’m just absolutely astounded that this so-called mother didn’t have her kids removed, the amount of evidence on her RUclips channel is astounding
“Dear Heavenly Father help me to survive.” I need some context. Why did the girl say that? Why did the mom think that was funny and cute? Did the person interviewing her have follow up questions?
That's some cult shit honestly- No judgement to normal people who follow the LDS faith, but this reminds me of the prayers my grandma had me do. In all honesty, it just seems like Ruby enjoyed seeing how she affected her children. I personally think she's a sadistic monster who liked having the control she did over her children.
Damn, I remember watching this channel way back and feeling extremely uncomfortable. I am an Egyptian Muslim who never had an experience with American parenting style, but it was extremely weird and something did not feel right at all. I remember watching her and feeling that she was extremely controlling and very cruel towards her kids. I wish the father would also be arrested because even if he was not directly involved in the abuse, it is his job as a parent to be involved in his children’s lives. If he was involved, the abuse wouldn’t have escalated to this degree. If he wasn’t, then he is the definition of neglectful parent which is also a form of abuse.
This looks isn’t “American style” parenting! This is the parenting of a narcissistic demeaning crazy woman who should have had all of her kids taken away in ages ago!
This is not any type of western parenting style. This is just abuse and she could have antisocial personality disorder. She is sadistic and has no empathy. She is a terrible "parent". I wonder where the father is in all of this as well.
4 min in..."He sounded like he was gonna cry 😁😁". You can literally see that she is trying to hide her smile. She is positively gleeful and elated when she's abusing these kids. She gets off on it."
At first glance, one may take this as a joke or some sort of clout chasing tactic. So to find out these are true events in their household is WILD. She literally records, admits, and joins her kids in convo about abuse.
What else is really disturbing is that she had a successful, lucrative social media presence, that what she does sells because some type of folks think she is appropriate. All the while, she was a monster, and it worked for her because of her AUDIENCE.
@@ryanstefan9378 You’re delusional if you don’t think Mormonism played a role in her behavior. Of course not all Mormons are abusive but their cult allows for certain abusive behaviors to be fostered and embraced. I won’t even get into it but if you go by the BITE model for a cult the mormon “religion” falls into the category of one. And obviously again, many in fact probably most Mormons aren’t abusing their kids. But their religion allows for many kinds of abusive behaviors AND THE CHURCH OFTEN COVERS UP FOR ABUSERS WHO ARE MEMBERS!!! There are MANY MANY MANY cases of CA taking place and the authorities and Utah covering up for it or looking the other way. It’s so bad that there were some cities that had to be investigated on a federal level for corruption. Unfortunately that only was like putting a bandaid on a gun shot wound. They made sure the police forces in many of these towns weren’t all Mormon hires, but enough of them were it’s not had much of in impact besides in maybe Colorado City. Tbf things with the police have gotten SOMEWHAT better there bc from my understanding the chief of police is an outsider and not FLDS. But I think he’s still maybe Mormon. Either way they have complete control over the entire state of Utah and YES they DO IN FACT coverup for each other ALL THE TIME!
I doubt it. At least in my experience, harsh punishment like getting food taken, getting hit, or having basic human rights labeled as privileges that can be taken is pretty normal and even encouraged in some wards. Although I do believe that their religion had a part in bolstering her confidence to commit these actions, I think it also had to do with the sick nature of Ruby. She's clearly a sadistic and cruel person.
I think the most disturbing thing to me is seeing and hearing the kids smile and laugh about each others’ punishments. It’s so normal for them to get these horrific consequences for small mistakes and growing pains that they laugh at each other like siblings teasing each other for getting time-outs or a few extra chores.
She explicitly says that the camera is the only thing that keeps her "in check" in some of the clips out there. Of course I haven't seen ropes, wall-slams, or duct tape in the videos, so that's probably true.
This makes me so mad when you only have 8 kids but there is a mom from not enough Nelsons that have 16 kids and she took care of all her kids perfectly fine
Why am I not surprised that the little daughter was preying God to help her survive? With a mother like that who makes you sleep on the floor and go hungry for the silliest reason .
That was a typical sibling practical joke to tell the younger one they were going to Disneyland. They'd have grown up and the older would have said one day, "I feel bad abut that joke I played on you." and they'd have talked about it and been cool.
I have nine siblings and the pranks weve oulled on each other are of the highest petty level ever. My parents understand that this is a oart of siblinghood. We do this as an "i love you, and i can mess with you, but damned if anyone else ever will" part of life. All 10 of us will love each other forever
The older kids sitting there saying they had cut off contact with their friends...they had no friends That wasnt the kids choice... What is so cute at a child praying to God to help her survive?! Wtf
It's so clear that Ruby was obsessed with control. She wanted to see her children suffer and took her problems out on them. She deserves to burn in her own special hell for treating her children, the people she brought into the world, the people she was supposed to love, nurture and protect, the way she did.
Her being so okay with her kids being hungry brings angry tears to my eyes. I went without food quite a bit during my childhood, I know what it's like to go to bed hungry, and I could never, ever do that to someone else. Now as an adult, food is my love language. I love to cook and feed people. I wish I could feed everyone out there that is hungry. I can't imagine letting my kid go without food. Not to mention, she'd punish her kids if their grades slipped. How are you supposed to focus in class as a growing kid without food the entire day? I'm not a mom, but if I were, I'd be happy to pack a lunch for my kid no matter how old they were. I'm so sad for these kids.
If the mother woke up her kid and said they were going to disney and it was a prank, she would have posted it and laughed, shared the video but since her son did it, he got punished. Maybe if he put his brother in a suitcase and threw him down the stairs should would have approved? I think she was jealous her son did something cruel and she wasnt involved. I cant believe people like this exist.
ok but the prank wasn't even bad, all he did was say that they were going to disney and to pack his stuff. he wasn't trying to harm his brother in any way it is such a stretch to call that prank cruel and honestly no matter what i think he still would've gotten in trouble
She likes having authority and showing off in front of an audience. Idk if she was raised this way and doesn't know any different. My son was in high school and occasionally forgot something and I took it to him bc I forget stuff sometimes too.
It's very hard to have empathy for this mom. However, it makes you think, what wounds is she operating from? Where does this need come from to dominate and control her children and have such power over them?
There’s so many parents like this. Might not be as abusive and neglectful but this mindset she has is very popular especially in Utah, but extremely toxic
Can’t imagine why her eldest son thought a prank setting a kid up for big disappointment was funny. It’s almost like he learned that from -Ruby- someone who did it to him…
This whole video of examples is incredibly hard to watch and I can only imagine what these kids have been through. The part about Eve’s lunch tho … “she’s just going to need to be be hungry and hopefully nobody gives her food” I mean monster is too good a word! Hope the children get the very best care and attention that they rightfully deserve ☹️
Seriously! I can remember one time, I forgot my son had told me the previous Friday that his lunch account was negative. When he went to school on Monday, the nurse called me and said my son was upset because he didn't have money on his account because I forgot to add it, and the lunch people said they could give him a cheese sandwich. I felt like the WORST MOTHER IN THE WORLD all day long because my poor kid was stuck eating cheese and bread for lunch. I understand teaching consequences, but stuff happens. They are still little and learning. You don't make them go hungry because their little brains didn't quite function the way we wanted it to. That's horrible!
I would not sit still for one minute if my child stayed hungry. Also if a TEACHER contacted me about it (I am a teacher myself), this means it is quite serious and probably a reoccurring thing. How horrible can a mother be to say "This means that she has to stay hunhry as a consequence" with such a straight and even satisfied face.
She is a bully exerting power over children who HAD to stay with her for shelter and food. She thrived when raking them over the fire knowing they had to be quiet and take it. She's a sociopath.
Lost his bedroom for 7 months for a simple, harmless prank? Their mother is insane

Let’s all remember that this is happening in Utah. Where cults, religious zealots, polygamy, and pedophilia are rampant. I’ve literally seen videos of people transporting CHILDREN in horse/livestock trailers and making them go to the bathroom in a bucket in Utah. The whole state needs to step up its game when it comes to child welfare and abuse. I’m surprised she even got arrested at all tbh with all of the bs they let slide in that state. It’s honestly disturbing and disgusting. This whole thing is. I’m all for teaching children independence and self sufficiency but this is beyond gross.
I’m lds and I agree. It gets out of hand sometimes and they do it in the name of religion which isn’t ok. The good Christians are the ones that treat people kindly and love everyone
@@brooke1589 It’s child abuse
FR I have an aunt in Utah who’s kids looked exactly like these kids. They’d be eating a ton of food like they were starving when extended fam had parties .
Thank you for this comment people get so triggered but these are valid points that no one ever wants to address.
@Purelylia
You're clueless if you think it only happens in Utah and Christians are the main culprits. It's 100x times worse in the rest of the non-White and jewish world.
Stop spreading misinformation and hate against specific people/groups you know nothing about.
People like you are the problem in the world.
The Disney prank was actually hilarious, I feel bad they had such an emotionally immature social media obsessed mother.
It's not hilarious, he was acting cruel like his mom. He probably hoped to win her approval. But she flipped the script so he knows who the TRUE prankster will always be. Pranks like those are meant to exert dominance, and she was threatened her older son tried to dominate the younger because she is worried he'll one day try it on HER
That "prank" is a perfect example of mirroring the abuse the kids had been suffering at the hands of this evil woman and continuing the cycle. It was not funny. It was never funny. It's traumatic and abusive. The boy's purpose was literally to inflict pain and sadness with no happy ending. So, no. It wasn't "hilarious."
I don't know what planet these other two commenters are from. But that was a good prank. I am sure both boys looking back on it think it is funny.
americans areso soulless and dead inside that they think cruelty is hilarious
@@danielnelson9411 Both boys are in foster care. Nothing is funny to them
My jaw dropped when I heard her say “um it’s her responsibility to pack her lunch, so she’s gonna have to starve, hopefully no one gives her anything!” This is ridiculous! I can’t believe she recorded all this and thought this is normal! This is not normal!!!
So your landlord or mortgage provider comes to you after missing a payment the next day with an eviction notice. Seems like you ain’t got nothing on that. It’s a harsh reality in the world to be irresponsible.
@@michaelbrent4430dude, she’s a fucking six year old. Her mother has a responsibility to ensure she’s fed. Malnourishment isn’t how you teach responsibility, I hope you don’t have kids or plan on having them
@@michaelbrent4430She was 6 years old and her child! I think a little grace and mercy was warranted. The mom should be packing her lunch at that age anyway.
@@StarryNightt. okay sweetie. You can have your opinion. Frankly I’m done arguing with all of you that refuse to acknowledge kids need taught tough lessons.
@@michaelbrent4430 Wtf? You're comparing a tenant-landlord relationship to a mother-child relationship? These are underage CHILDREN who are supposed to be taken care of by their parents. You are messed up.
The way she said "You're going to lose the privilege to eat dinner" is just so cold.
My own mom used to do this shit, and it honestly just makes me sick to think that someone like this could not only keep her channel up, but also avoid getting arrested for so long.
I'm glad she's been arrested, because her children didn't deserve any of what they went through.
Also dude, that second clip is just so disturbing. The way she smiles at the camera and laughs- It makes me wonder what happened after that when he talked about getting his room taken away. Her behavior when someone brings up the abuse is just so obvious.
Ruby is an evil excuse of a human being.
Going to bed hungry once in awhile isnt abuse? Lmfao
@@foodpurposes4730 Depriving children of food as punishment is abuse, and given the condition the children were found in when she was arrested it didn't seem like once in a while.
Go to hell.
@@foodpurposes4730 please NEVER reproduce
Bro, She can afford to make dinner for her kids. If you can afford to feed your kids, FEED YOUR KIDS!
@@Insertacreativetitle if your kids are bad and they don’t eat lunch one day they ain’t starving. What goofy 500 pound world do you live in ?
Every single thing about this woman is disgusting. Never heard of her until the arrest but I really can’t see any reason why anyone would watch her videos and like her. Even before they knew she was abusive. Like there’s just a really awful self absorbed mean energy coming from her all the time
the main audience of family channels are children. they dont know any better which is why her and many other sick influencers flew under the radar so long when it came to crimes against children.
I am so grateful for my parents.For their loving kindness.
same here
Saying her daughter is big at 99 pounds is WILD
This is heartbreaking. The kids need A LOOOT of therapy after this.
Did this woman seriously just tell a toddler she was gonna cut the head off of her toy?
For some reason that clip...just saddened me so much
That part wasn't even bad
@@ENGLISHMURPHYit absolutely is when you put it in the context of all the other crap she was doing. It’s called emotional abuse.
I'm married to one of the extended family members. This abuse runs pretty deep in that family. Let's just say the therapy has been a difficult journey
Glad they are holding her without bail. She Actually thinks abusing her kids is funny. It is abuse. She actually said she hopes no one gave her daughter lunch?? This woman was Nuts. CPS really dropped the ball on THIS. They need to investigate them as well.
Utah CPS and DCFS is a joke. They should have intervened a lot sooner.
CPS is a joke. Full stop. No need to clarify the state. CPS mishandles, and literally MISPLACE children on a daily basis. Look into it. It’s a horrible organization taking kids from bad situations to worse ones.
@@bombdotcom2168 and the extended family should've spoken out sooner
i remember there was a post that the aunts were saying "we kept quiet for the kids sake" and that makes no sense because if they really cared about the kids they would have and should have spoken out about the abuse
@@esumoriS Exactly. I hate that BS about keeping quiet or whatever for the kid's sake. Like- I know full well that CPS/DCFS especially in Utah is an absolute joke but those kids were literally being abused and exploited daily by their own mother and it sounded like there were at least places for the kids to go outside of foster care if they were taken out of the home.
fax bro@@bombdotcom2168
At 1:26 when the young man has the 1,000 yd stare and nail biting, he's nervous. He summons his courage and says what's on his mind and why he doesn't have friends. And for a brief moment it looks like Ruby has become aware of her actions but as quickly as the realization came to her the faster she dismissed it.
Having a smart. phone is a privilege, having expensive sneakers is a privilege, but having food and a bed is not a privilege but a NEED!
I feel like that woman only had kids just to abuse them. There’s no ounce of care or empathy in that woman. She is pure evil. Glad she is being sent to jail with no bail. She deserves every second being locked up.
That was the purest prank ever wtf. Also the look in the poor girls eyes when the entire world is told she probably won't get her phone back. Way to isolate your kids from any hope of making friends their own age. She looked so humiliated and was trying to cover for it with humour I just feel so sad for her.
The scary part is that the channel was terminated for "unknown reasons" before this news came to light and as you can see, the kids looked absolutely fine in the videos. So, I think that once the children have no value to Ruby herself, she started mistreating and abusing them because she doesn't love them.
So right. She only needed them for social media. And when they got useless she starved them...
Please help me to SURVIVE MY HORRIBLE MOTHER
She definitely told on herself with that one
i had horrible parents & survived--have flashbacks. I raised 3 children. all grown. all visit me.
@@Maryculligan That's how my relationship with my dad is. My mom sucked, he didn't, you'll never guess who gets more visits and more help.
I bet you anything Ruby's gonna flip out when her kids don't want to visit her in jail
I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this. I’m sending you light through this difficult time
@@pinkvivi9345 I think they're half quoting what the kid said
The natural consequence for abusing children is to go to jail. We will have our freedom while she will not be able to be the spa boss.
She has lost her "privilege" to keep her children 😅
“Privilege” to each dinner… so messed up.
This woman is psychotic. You can see how unhinged she is in her face and eyes. I would NEVER treat my children this way. She deserves to be locked up forever
This story makes me sick to my stomach. So proud of those kids for stepping up.
It's sad the kids literally had to save themselves, because the adults completely FAILED them in every single way
@@lifeofatruckerswife so sad! And even more sad how common it is :( parents who continue their generational traumas instead of making change makes me so mad
I don’t keep up with this family, what did they do?
Stepping up? where were the adults that should have been reporting to CPS
@@atheistbewildered2987 more like where was cps when they WERE called multiple times
Ugh my heart. As a mom I get how frustrating raising kids can be but this is just awful!
Idk if frustration was her problem … seems like the woman has major control issues….
She is just evil. This has NOTHING to do with frustration.
She finds enjoyment in her kids discomfort and pain. As a mom, you love and comfort your babies. I can't comprehend this. Evil.
Can they go to prison for 25 years and only be allowed to sleep on the floor with lunches being removed? Please?
I think people said the max is about 15 years. She will prob get a mattress and lunch unlike her kids.
@@fundiearchiveyeah. Just terrible. Could be 15 years max for each charge. So probably like 90 years max. I expect 30 years total.
I guess Ruby has never forgotten anything in her entire life. Wow she must be perfect. 🙄
The last clip made my jaw drop, oh my god...
Same here what the heck..
came looking for this, eve was in distress and being invalidated by her mother… I’d cry too and i’m 27
Believe me, my jaw dropped a few times watching this, especially when she was talking about how it’s her five-year-old child’s responsibility to pack their own lunch, and that hopefully no one gives her any food and then threatening to cut her teddy bears head off I’m just absolutely astounded that this so-called mother didn’t have her kids removed, the amount of evidence on her RUclips channel is astounding
She’s evil… 😢 I hope she’s no longer able to mother anyone, or anything. Not even a fish.
“Dear Heavenly Father help me to survive.” I need some context. Why did the girl say that? Why did the mom think that was funny and cute? Did the person interviewing her have follow up questions?
I'll try to find the full clip for you!
That's some cult shit honestly- No judgement to normal people who follow the LDS faith, but this reminds me of the prayers my grandma had me do.
In all honesty, it just seems like Ruby enjoyed seeing how she affected her children. I personally think she's a sadistic monster who liked having the control she did over her children.
“Hopefully nobody gets her food or helps her” makes me so mad.
Damn, I remember watching this channel way back and feeling extremely uncomfortable. I am an Egyptian Muslim who never had an experience with American parenting style, but it was extremely weird and something did not feel right at all. I remember watching her and feeling that she was extremely controlling and very cruel towards her kids. I wish the father would also be arrested because even if he was not directly involved in the abuse, it is his job as a parent to be involved in his children’s lives. If he was involved, the abuse wouldn’t have escalated to this degree. If he wasn’t, then he is the definition of neglectful parent which is also a form of abuse.
This looks isn’t “American style” parenting! This is the parenting of a narcissistic demeaning crazy woman who should have had all of her kids taken away in ages ago!
This is not any type of western parenting style. This is just abuse and she could have antisocial personality disorder. She is sadistic and has no empathy. She is a terrible "parent".
I wonder where the father is in all of this as well.
To be fair, this is nowhere near typical American parenting or even typical Mormon parenting
“Dear Heavenly Father please help me too stay alive” my heart shattered
So sad and Ruby really told on herself for that
@@fundiearchive yes she did. Ah this whole case is just so heartbreaking
@@fundiearchive she didn’t hide her sadistic psychopathy at all
6 year olds should not be responsible for their own lunch wtf
Agreed
There are ways to teach responsibility that includes your child participating in making lunches
4 min in..."He sounded like he was gonna cry 😁😁". You can literally see that she is trying to hide her smile. She is positively gleeful and elated when she's abusing these kids. She gets off on it."
At first glance, one may take this as a joke or some sort of clout chasing tactic. So to find out these are true events in their household is WILD. She literally records, admits, and joins her kids in convo about abuse.
She literally has the face of a Disney villain.
no u do
That is an insult to Disney villains. _They_ have more decency than Franke does.
She makes Frollo and Gothel look like Mr. Rogers and Betty White ffs.
What else is really disturbing is that she had a successful, lucrative social media presence, that what she does sells because some type of folks think she is appropriate. All the while, she was a monster, and it worked for her because of her AUDIENCE.
Look at the pure joy she has when he talks about his bedroom. How she immediately is trying to punish him
She was praying she would survive this 'mother' piece of crap. Did the Mormon Church protect her?!
Mormon church ALWAYS covers up for abusers that religion is a freakin cult and has control over the entire state of Utah.
Bros blaming a church for an sick twisted abusive mother…. Crazy how people think
@@ryanstefan9378 You’re delusional if you don’t think Mormonism played a role in her behavior. Of course not all Mormons are abusive but their cult allows for certain abusive behaviors to be fostered and embraced. I won’t even get into it but if you go by the BITE model for a cult the mormon “religion” falls into the category of one. And obviously again, many in fact probably most Mormons aren’t abusing their kids. But their religion allows for many kinds of abusive behaviors AND THE CHURCH OFTEN COVERS UP FOR ABUSERS WHO ARE MEMBERS!!! There are MANY MANY MANY cases of CA taking place and the authorities and Utah covering up for it or looking the other way. It’s so bad that there were some cities that had to be investigated on a federal level for corruption. Unfortunately that only was like putting a bandaid on a gun shot wound. They made sure the police forces in many of these towns weren’t all Mormon hires, but enough of them were it’s not had much of in impact besides in maybe Colorado City. Tbf things with the police have gotten SOMEWHAT better there bc from my understanding the chief of police is an outsider and not FLDS. But I think he’s still maybe Mormon. Either way they have complete control over the entire state of Utah and YES they DO IN FACT coverup for each other ALL THE TIME!
@@ryanstefan9378 Do some research about the LDS church and all the things they've done and hidden.
I doubt it. At least in my experience, harsh punishment like getting food taken, getting hit, or having basic human rights labeled as privileges that can be taken is pretty normal and even encouraged in some wards.
Although I do believe that their religion had a part in bolstering her confidence to commit these actions, I think it also had to do with the sick nature of Ruby. She's clearly a sadistic and cruel person.
The teenage kids admitting that they have NO FRIENDS.
What saddened me the most with these clips is when the young man said that he had no friends ! That is just awful!
I think the most disturbing thing to me is seeing and hearing the kids smile and laugh about each others’ punishments. It’s so normal for them to get these horrific consequences for small mistakes and growing pains that they laugh at each other like siblings teasing each other for getting time-outs or a few extra chores.
"she said the cutest thing!"
the thing: "please god let me survive"
LIKE DO YOU??? NOT HEAR???? WHAT SHE'S SAYING???
thats what im saying like what 😭
I Hope Shari gets to have custody of her siblings so the kids can finally heal from the trauma that their parents caused
She's a narcissist and master manipulator. It's sickening and disturbing. Those poor children.
no u r
Oh wow!!! This mean on camera, I wonder how horrible she is off camera?
That's what I am thinking. If this is okay for the public, then what happens in private has gotta be bad.
She explicitly says that the camera is the only thing that keeps her "in check" in some of the clips out there. Of course I haven't seen ropes, wall-slams, or duct tape in the videos, so that's probably true.
If the devil ever needed a wife she would be perfect
FOOD IS NOT A PRIVILEGE IT IS A RIGHT
1:20 the girl was looking at the mom like "I hate you so much"
This makes me so mad when you only have 8 kids but there is a mom from not enough Nelsons that have 16 kids and she took care of all her kids perfectly fine
Why am I not surprised that the little daughter was preying God to help her survive? With a mother like that who makes you sleep on the floor and go hungry for the silliest reason .
That was a typical sibling practical joke to tell the younger one they were going to Disneyland. They'd have grown up and the older would have said one day, "I feel bad abut that joke I played on you." and they'd have talked about it and been cool.
Frfr ruby could have just said ‘apologise to your brother abt the prank’ and everything would have been fine its not that serious
My older siblings did far worse than that to me!
The "dear God help me survive" is wild.
This mother balancing between abuse and honesty about it it's so confusing
When you are the child of a narcissistic parent, your life is in danger. Emotionally and physically.
That last one is chilling. Please help me to survive
“Dear Heavenly Father, please help me to survive” 😢🙏🏼
I lost my playing video game privileges for a prank on my sibling once. But losing the damn whole bedroom!? Insane.
You know whose gonna be without a bedroom for 7 months now?....
"Once you hit 99lb, you don't need a sucker."
Yeah, that's not going to result in an eating disorder.
She's the type of kid that would cut the heads off of barbies
I have nine siblings and the pranks weve oulled on each other are of the highest petty level ever. My parents understand that this is a oart of siblinghood. We do this as an "i love you, and i can mess with you, but damned if anyone else ever will" part of life. All 10 of us will love each other forever
The older kids sitting there saying they had cut off contact with their friends...they had no friends
That wasnt the kids choice...
What is so cute at a child praying to God to help her survive?! Wtf
It's so clear that Ruby was obsessed with control. She wanted to see her children suffer and took her problems out on them. She deserves to burn in her own special hell for treating her children, the people she brought into the world, the people she was supposed to love, nurture and protect, the way she did.
Her being so okay with her kids being hungry brings angry tears to my eyes. I went without food quite a bit during my childhood, I know what it's like to go to bed hungry, and I could never, ever do that to someone else. Now as an adult, food is my love language. I love to cook and feed people. I wish I could feed everyone out there that is hungry. I can't imagine letting my kid go without food. Not to mention, she'd punish her kids if their grades slipped. How are you supposed to focus in class as a growing kid without food the entire day? I'm not a mom, but if I were, I'd be happy to pack a lunch for my kid no matter how old they were.
I'm so sad for these kids.
If the mother woke up her kid and said they were going to disney and it was a prank, she would have posted it and laughed, shared the video but since her son did it, he got punished. Maybe if he put his brother in a suitcase and threw him down the stairs should would have approved? I think she was jealous her son did something cruel and she wasnt involved. I cant believe people like this exist.
ok but the prank wasn't even bad, all he did was say that they were going to disney and to pack his stuff. he wasn't trying to harm his brother in any way
it is such a stretch to call that prank cruel
and honestly no matter what i think he still would've gotten in trouble
No bikinis in the hot tub? What a good person. So moral.
She told her kids she was gonna cut the head off of one of her toys?! Is she insane ?!
She likes having authority and showing off in front of an audience. Idk if she was raised this way and doesn't know any different. My son was in high school and occasionally forgot something and I took it to him bc I forget stuff sometimes too.
It's very hard to have empathy for this mom. However, it makes you think, what wounds is she operating from? Where does this need come from to dominate and control her children and have such power over them?
Who cares.
There’s so many parents like this. Might not be as abusive and neglectful but this mindset she has is very popular especially in Utah, but extremely toxic
What a HORRIBLE mother!!
agree
Can’t imagine why her eldest son thought a prank setting a kid up for big disappointment was funny. It’s almost like he learned that from -Ruby- someone who did it to him…
I can't believe how shameless this woman was.
Thank you Ruby Franke for being such a narcissist monster that you captured all your monstrous behavior on film!!!!!
This whole video of examples is incredibly hard to watch and I can only imagine what these kids have been through. The part about Eve’s lunch tho … “she’s just going to need to be be hungry and hopefully nobody gives her food” I mean monster is too good a word! Hope the children get the very best care and attention that they rightfully deserve ☹️
Seriously! I can remember one time, I forgot my son had told me the previous Friday that his lunch account was negative. When he went to school on Monday, the nurse called me and said my son was upset because he didn't have money on his account because I forgot to add it, and the lunch people said they could give him a cheese sandwich. I felt like the WORST MOTHER IN THE WORLD all day long because my poor kid was stuck eating cheese and bread for lunch. I understand teaching consequences, but stuff happens. They are still little and learning. You don't make them go hungry because their little brains didn't quite function the way we wanted it to. That's horrible!
does she not realize that her punishments are literally just the stripping of necessary things for a persons survival
Narcissists will always reveal themselves sooner or later.
Holy crap this woman is insane. I feel compelled to not let my kids spend a minute hungry, i can't even relate
0:49 LIFE SENTENCE NOW 💀
I would not sit still for one minute if my child stayed hungry. Also if a TEACHER contacted me about it (I am a teacher myself), this means it is quite serious and probably a reoccurring thing. How horrible can a mother be to say "This means that she has to stay hunhry as a consequence" with such a straight and even satisfied face.
People that say they are religious, more often than not are awful human beings.
This is why I’m atheist
No. That's not right.
God the way she talks is so unnerving
That woman is the Definition of a bad parent
She's the definition of a monster.
She is a bully exerting power over children who HAD to stay with her for shelter and food. She thrived when raking them over the fire knowing they had to be quiet and take it. She's a sociopath.
“Please help me to survive” ugh… 😭😭
“and hopefully nobody gives her food” WHAT? i would’ve given her my food and just asked her not to tell her mom.
I would never take away a bed from my child. Lord bless these children
