    This woman sickens me. That she was offered any kind of plea deal at all is unfortunate and bothersome, but I have no doubt she will spend a great deal of time in prison and I’m glad for that. After watching the gut-wrenching Shonda Vander Ark trial recently, I am more convinced than ever that these monstrous child abusers should be dealt with in the harshest manner allowed by law and should be at the high end always regarding sentencing. These horrific situations must be deterred as much as possible and only swift convictions and lengthy prison sentences would be a step in the right direction.

      ⁠@@SharpLife4WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!! Ruby and Kevin were abusing those kids long long long before they even knew Jodi. Jodi was referred to the Frankie’s by the LDS church as a marriage counselor because Kevin and Ruby were having problems in the marriage. Jodi began working with the Frankie’s in 2020 and ultimately chased Kevin away from the family in April of 2022 and got him fired from BYU. This is even Shari moved out and cut ties with both of her parents and when Ruby began working with Jodi at ConneXions. Ruby & Kevin started their RUclips channel in 2015 where they were seen treating those kids horribly by withholding food,water and the basic essentials. It was so bad that viewers began calling CPS out in Utah which prompted many visits but nothing was ever done. People also began reporting their content to RUclips which ultimately resulted in their channel being deleted. I’m going to assume that you never watched their channel because it was clear as day that Ruby is unhinged and her husband is a cocky demanding abusive pos.

The family took in Shari when she got cut off. The family isn’t responsible. They didn’t see. They heard some from Shari. Even Shari called 911 on her parents. They just didn’t catch enough of it. Jodi had the dad out of the house, they kids out of school and the older daughter cut off after telling Ruby to cut out the non connexions family.

Also, keep in mind that no one is prosecuting any abuse prior to the few months at Jodi's house. While I understand that many feel that it should be, they aren't. What they have accomplished is this.. an extremely fast outcome ending in 4 felony counts that will result in significant time, along with the agreement to testify against Jodi.

    As much as I absolutely hate this woman and what she has done to her own kids, I am happy that said kids won't have to relive their trauma by testifying against her. I had to testify against my father with him in the court room, glaring me down as his sick attorney tried to twist my words against my siblings', all the while seeing my mom silently crying on her side of the room.
    I am so happy to hear that whatever her sentence is for each count, that they all must be served consecutively instead of concurrently, even if she gets 2 years per count, she is in prison for 16 years. Of course I want nothing more than for her to receive maximum penalty for each, but considering it's a plea deal, that isn't likely.
    I also think it is interesting that she is trying to throw Jodi under the bus when people have been sounding the alarm against her abuse years before that psycho entered the picture. Now, that isn't me saying that she doesn't deserve every awful thing coming towards her, Jodi is an abusive monster and has been one for years, but all Jodi did with Ruby is escalate her already abusive tendencies. She didn't turn Ruby into an abuser, she already was one.
    I pray that they both get locked up behind bars for many, many years to come.

      I was glad to come across your comment, as I was beginning to think I was the only one to notice the "consecutive" part.
      But how are you getting 16 years? It seems like 2 charges may have been dropped. So: 2 years x 4 charges = an 8 year sentence.
      To me she appears genuinely afraid. I watched a lot of the body language videos on her and Jodi and I got the impression that Ruby is dumb as a stump and Jodi manipulated her easily.
      Both her and her husband are psychos (imo) but unfortunately the child abuse charges are just for the most recent abuses, if they _were_ to charge her husband then they would also have to hold RUclips accountable, and they will never do that.
