Exactly
Awful lawyers and a joke of a company.
you guys know dang well morgan & morgan is a horrible company 🙄🙄
@@kendallszabo9832period sis queen slayer
Duey , chetem , n Howe
The dad needs to be charged as well. He failed those kids
jewel... ABSOLUTELY 💯
He's just as culpable... Yep!
AGREED 💯
Couldn't agree more!
Many parents "fail their kids". As horrible as it is, that's not a crime. We have to remember that to be arrested and charged, a crime has to have been committed. Therein lies the problem for the prosecutors office. To find Kevin F in violation of a specific law. Most of us wouldn't want to be hauled off to jail for being a bad parent at one time or other. Let's all remember that we live in a country where ppl can't just be thrown into jail and held there without a specific reason. Our system isn't perfect & sometimes it fails....but as citizens, we shouldn't be so quick to throw ppl into jail just because we don't like them. As the investigation continues, as I'm sure it is, the police may be able to find evidence of law breaking....
@@rossream1098 I feel that there is plenty of video evidence out there from when Kevin was in the home still that they could have probable cause to hold him or something. He's an accomplice.
I think it's hilarious how these narcissist parents don't think their kids are going to be their own adults someday.
Agreed!!
Yeah it’s disturbing, they think they’re THAT important and the main character in everyone’s lives 😅
While at the same time, saying openly that their kids would never be welcome to stay at home after they turn 18!
Right!!
very true. when they do grow up they expect their kids lives to revolve around them. my mom is a narcissist and after the divorce my siblings and I stayed with my dad because she decided to go on a rampage and attack us all physically. Now that i’m an adult she gets angry i don’t go visit her and i have to remind her over and over again i work full time night shifts, go to school full time, and any time in between im eating or sleeping . no matter how i say it IM STILL THE PROBLEM because i don’t drop everything to go see her when she wants attention.
So Kevin doesn't mind prosecuting his daughter but supports his abusive wife in jail....hmmmm. These kids deserve better!
After neglecting them for almost a year and a half.😡
Spousal privilege?
I hope he doesn’t get custody of his kids 🤦🏼♀️
More than just prosecuting her. He was gunning for her, getting downright angry that the police weren't willing to charge her.
This comment is wrong
I hope she understands that after her dad suggested that she should be charged with theft/robbery that she should never trust him again. Ever.
For sure guess in their church they are not taught right ..
@@keenacummings2017
I am pretty sure they are taught to forgive. Just as Messiah has forgiven them for their sins.
It is basic Christianity.
@@danielnelson9411no it’s not
A parent willing to incarcerate their child when their partner has been arrested for seriously harming their children, is not someone to trust. Some people should never have had children. He is probably one of them. Forgiveness is one thing, but it does not mean that you should keep him in your life.
DO NOT LET THESE CHILDREN BE IN THE CUSTODY OF THE HUSBAND!!
Already happened. He's the father, and he has never been charged with a crime. The women were the abusers. He never gave up custody.
No it hasnt. He does not have any of the minor children.
He’s as bad as her!
The oldest siblings are now old enough to care for their siblings and hopefully will.
He is a real beta male that needs testosterone therapy and stop drinking the water from public utilities that are not capable of removing birth control estrogen from the water.
People used to call Shari a Karen or say she was trying to please her parents but the thing is she was doing what she had to to survive and protect her siblings
@@minimalcat1987I never liked that dude. I saw all along why Shari acted way she did.
That is really sad. That’s what all her mom and dad’s vlogging brought in to her life. Negativity, judgement, disdain for an innocent child, a child who was suffering through her mom’s egotistical, money hungry, uncaring ways by exposing these kids to that.
Yeah, she was playing the long game. Get out. Then when the oppotunity presents, get her siblings out.
@@theangryretailer yep. She's an amazing sister
Two older children who didnt blow the whistle, a father who didnt either!
Wtf? They could of ended this way sooner
The fact that he wanted his daughter arrested for robbery when she went to get her siblings items says a lot about the dad. He was mad the police would not press charges. She wanted to get her siblings items hoping she would get custody. And he was involved with the bad parenting when he was part of "8 passengers"
I hope to God she is wise enough to see through her father's gaslighting 😫 He is just using her as a PR stunt. Likely he has been instructed by his lawyer to use and manipulate his kids. I really hope Shari is just playing him at his own games.
She also took the family passports which she later returned by dropping them off at the police statement once everyone was in custody and I think that that was just so smart of her to keep anyone from trying to run ESPECIALLY with any of the kids that they had trouble locating initially
@@shewolfinubakayes! I feel she's way smarter than we know
I wouldn't be surprised to find that the Dad had asked her to get his journals for him, planning to charge her with theft.
@@danielnelson9411 you know, I never thought of that. We saw how nasty Ruby is claiming her son is a SA
Wow, that oldest daughter really seems to have her head on straight. Blessings on her and her siblings.❤
She's always been strong and smart.
Except for the whole Mormon thing
@@hrdkorebpYou cut me to it. 😝
@@hrdkorebpdeconstruction doesn't happen overnight!
Be strong @shari franke and of good courage.... i am praying for you & your siblings ❤
How, HOW has Kevin Franke not been charged? He is as much a monster as Ruby. Horrific.
He got lucky when jodi had ruby kick him out. Had he seen them recently he would be charged. He's dodging bullets.
i feel uncomfortable if Kevin really is trying to reconcile with Shari. Its literally creepy because he was trying to destroy her by getting her arrested and now he wants to reconcile? To make himself look better perhaps. Shari is still young and probably easy to manipulate... I hope she stays away from him.
It's coming.
@@1IIiII1dude it’s her father… even if he is a weak man and should have been there when this crazy mother was tormenting her children, he wasn’t the one locking them up without food. Of course she’s going to have a relationship with her dad though.
@@Dive-Bar-CasanovaI hope so. It should.
That husband is a complete piece of 💩 for abandoning his family and then has the audacity to try to have his daughter arrested.
HE'S JUST AS GUILTY
He didn't abandon. He was forced away. You really need to look at jodis history of breaking up families
@@eileenmcdonald1599 that is true only for the ending part of the dark story. He participated in cruel and callous treatment of his children in the 8 passenger videos before Jody was involved. When the cops told him his children were hospitalized and emaciated, he was mostly interested in getting his wife out of jail and feigned not knowing what emaciated meant. He did not display or demonstrate concern nor did he protect or rescue his children before Jody moved in. Infact, while he was first interview at the police station (he knew his wife was in jail), he declined to speak about how he disciplined his children, (knowing his wife was in jail for hurting them). His late landing demonstration of “devastation” over the condition of the two hospitalized children was quickly followed with more concern for his wife. No “are they going to live? Are they ok? Are they crying? Are they conscious? What will happen to them?”
I’m not even their father or a relative and those would have been my first questions. “Are they going to make it? Are they being comforted? Are they being hydrated? Hooked upto IVs? Will they suffer brain damage? Are they afraid? Are they being consoled and comforted?
This man has no empathy for his children. He’s a very bad father and should not have access to children.
@@eileenmcdonald1599Stop simping! Be an adult! Did you not see his indifference to his children's plight, and his support of his wife after being fully appraised of the situation?? Then he wants to prosecute his daughter! This man is a monster! He is a danger to his children! He is not to be trusted, and is only performing before the public for image sake.
She is only 20. She will need a lot of support for supporting 4 children.
She has a lot of support in her aunts
True. But this is one of those rare cases where even a group home is better than being back with the parents. She'd have to try really hard to do worse then her parents.
@@LeahNicoleMusicTodayi'm not sure because ruby sister are devil
@@danyappajee2603 everyone has devil in them. The most important thing is that they've been there to support her, andhave never abused their children...
@LeahNicoleMusicToday how do you know I think police should check their background their parents to behaviour and sisters children condition
The dad is a disturbing, odd duck. I want him in prison too.
So do I, 💯👍
I watched them and he is the one buying there food like dog food cold soup
No one should be allowed to use their children on the internet. Its disgusting. They are not old enough to give their consent for their images being used. It should Stop.
1000% agree. It’s disgusting
1000% Get a Government Petition going
We need legislation regarding posting children on the internet it’s disgusting how these social media families treat their kids 💔
I feel if kids aren't able to make adult choices then they certainly shouldn't be making videos of their personal lives. I'm sure some kids will need therapy because their personal lives got exploited.
They is but it’s not enforced.
I’m surprised Shari even wants to keep an online presence anymore but then again it’s sort of all she’s known for half of her life I guess….
@@NicholasJH96yea we definitely need more enforcement then
@@raystacks yes in some countries they will be. In UK had a uk safety law come in to effect yesterday, it was passed but social media sites and other websites have a two month notice basically before they begin to enforce it. So it allows it to be taken down before. If they don’t enforce tougher penalty is jail time for the owner or owners. Eu,Canada, are working on online safety bill as well. In the UK, it’s going to enforces by ofcom.
This is what happens when you make your child raise your other children. Shari is FIERCELY protective and …she’s capable. She’s capable of parenting and caring for them because that’s what she’s always done. It’s no surprise the children became so malnourished and neglected once Shari left for college. Their main caregiver had left. Ruby didn’t know how to actually cope with having to raise kids because she’s always pawned it off onto Shari and the other two girls.
but is it normal that Shari has to raise her sibblings? She will take on this responsability to protect them, but I am sad for her that this is going to be her life for a while... She did not choose to become a ''mother'' at this time in her life, yet she was put in this situation. The whole story is so very sad...
Good thoughts
The youngest two looked malnourished for years
@@samg873agreed. That poor little boy had pale skin and dark circles under his eyes for a really long time.
@@KRC-in-TN the little girl too. I heard little girl has ADHD and Ruby said nah she's just manipulative
The attempt to have her arrested was unforgivable, I hope she understands that kind of betrayal and doesn’t reconcile with the father.
I’m waiting for CHAD to break the silence, I feel like we’ll open a whole new door with him if he chooses to speak out.
Food is NOT a privilege…it’s a necessarily part of living
What about water from a hose?
Pictures of Jodi's (house) kitchen showed the cupboards full of food and treats yet the two children were starving.
I think food was an issue for Ruby and she deflected onto her children. Just one of her issues. Yikes.
With regard to Kevin wanting to charge his daughter with theft, I think he is still taking marching orders from his wife.
Exactly. Getting Shari arrested would be in Kevin's twisted sadistic view "natural consequence" of her taking things that belonged to Kevin and Ruby (remember, EVERYTHING in the house belongs to parents and children are just allowed to use those things when the parents are in a generous mood.)
Yup.
Yes. It’s going to take him years of therapy to break free of her influence and manipulation.
Good for her for standing up. She deserves a happy life so do her siblings
She’s one amazing girl , she deserves so much , I pray her and her other siblings heal and learn to love life again
She weird.
But mormon
💯💜🙏🏻
Amen🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
They prayed every night dude. The sect is what got them into trouble
I just hope she doesn’t feel like she owes this to anybody. Or feels like she owes the world her “side of the story”. I just hope she finds peace.
I would imagine she feels like she owes it to her siblings…and there’s nothing wrong with that.
Just say it. We the public have definitely had enough of this crazy lot. Ask her to go get a life in the real world!
@@crypton_8l87 I don't think you speak for the entire public - a lot of people want every nitty gritty detail, and OP is saying Shari doesn't owe them that exposure if she doesn't want to share.
She does not owe anyone. But she has her siblings to think about. It is a big burden for someone her age. Not only does she have to find her way to recovery, she has to think about her siblings. It is unfair that she has to do all that. And I worry about her decision being influenced by shady people.
@@cindyliao2250she has the teen girls right now.
The look in the little boys eyes is heartbreaking . I pray he is warm, well fed, and feels safe and secure wherever he is.❤
These kids always looked SOOO tired ...
And the little boy constantly had to battle his tears, poor guy.
Amen!
Dark circles under his eyes. No child his age should have those.
i’m extremely concerned he is not a good father. those children have been manipulated enough. they deserve a new start
He's garbage.. But he was manipulated as well. Jodi has a history of this type thing
I'm not educated about the Mormon religion but it seems the father is head of the household and you obey him even if he is a door knob.
@@carolanderson7655 he’s not capable of taking care of his children they would have died if this continued much longer
All children deserve to have parents , Not all parents deserve children though 😢
Wow did you just repeat something that's been typed thousands of times over the years? Original thoughts are more appreciated.
Ugh get a new saying..... 🙄
The fifth commandment says,
“Honor your father and your mother,
FORGET ABOUT THE ABOVE,
IF YOUR MOM AND DAD ARE TYRANTS.
Although that statement is true , I'm so tired of hearing it constantly.
Well said and most definitely true.
Honestly, I really hope she stays away from social media and just begins to live a life free of the same desire to be on YT that her parents had.
You got it - let's hope that will be the case ..... 🤔
I think right now it's good because she doesn't have to post a lot but what she does post will help support her monetarily (something she will likely need very much now)
Money they need
@@samitheecake don't we all
Yes . I hope she comes to realize living your life online is NOT normal
If I were Shari I would be hesitant to trust Kevin.
Everytime i hear Shari speak out i just want to give her a huge hug. Shes clearly the most normal nicest one in the fam and is so young having to be the dealing with this all. How did she turn out to be such an angel
She’s a fake just like the rest of the lds
In situations like this the eldest girl is always groomed to be a mini mom with non of the power or control so she was probably a parent to her siblings for years and given no ability to give them boundaries or rules that work for her and being forced to watch her moms unfair and abusive treatment of her siblings while being powerless to actually do anything
Nurture vs nature. Everyone has choices.
@@brodywwwwDid you watch their family vlogs? Because this sounds spot on. Though Sharri did help the younger ones to the best of her ability.
@@KandiAnne84 I watched what was posted on other channels but my best friend growing up lived in a mormon household with lots of kids and she could never do anything fun because she always had to help with her siblings. She was given some pretty harsh punishments so going against her mom on anything was never an option she could even fathom until she got older. It seems unfortunately normalized amongst these types.
It's ridiculous how the father has no charges, no responsibilities at all, about the well-being of his own kids. The whole world still thinks kids are made by only one person and the other who is away is totally free. Both parents should always be responsible for what happens to their children, no matter the situation, and if one is away, the worst for them.
I 100% agree with you. I watched a RUclips video when the detective told the day what their mother has done to him and his reaction doesnt sit well with me. He was way too calm. I would have been a hysterical mess
People are all different. Just because you are a basket case does not mean others are. Get hysterical does not help any situation.
With a mother like Ruby, you'd need therapy for life 😓
Praying that all the kids begin to heal ❤️
.... and not become like Ruby
What a nightmare to grow up with a mom like that. 😞
And dad that doesn't protect you from evil mother.
It is a nightmare to be brought up in the church with such parents! They are not the only children going through this. Lds members take child rearing to insane extremes.
@@maricolitzas5703 Yes, the christian culture / burden to comply isn't helping either.
LDS isn't Christian.
Clearly Kevin has the same mentality as Ruby … wanting to file charges against his daughter over mundane objects , it’s bewildering.
This alone just comes to show his stance on the poor decisions raising those kids . 🤦🏾♀️
Hopefully he gets charged as well
I hope police have all info off those devices. Bet there's a ton of incriminating evidence on them.
@@KB-ld6qlThey can't use anything like that It would be fruit from the forbidden tree
@kerrysmiles Husband needs to be charged. Then seizure of electronics. Then life in jail. There is still 11 spots open on firing squad I understand.
@@kerrysmiles Are you interested?
Shari is the normal one in this family, getting out of this connexion cult, got therapy and trying to report her Mom to CPS for YEARS!!! She is the one good candidate for having 4 of her younger siblings under her care. Their parents Ruby and Kevin both are abusive and controlling narcissistic people who both need to be in prison and NOT have custody of the kids.
Just hope their eldest daughter is allowed to keep her siblings with her so they are with family that is wanting to help them. Will pray for them thank you.
And sues her parents for every penny they made off the channel.
@@saran3214plus some..
That's alot for a young girl! Bonnie has a new big house and she claims to be so upset so she should take them! The problem is she is mean to kids too and was always listening to Connextions!
I hope she sees her siblings consistently but raising them would be too much. She deserves to have a normal adult life. College or work.
Only one that does not have a large house is julie. And hers is rented. Her man child husband has finally graduated from college after moving the family several times. They just moved again he has taken a 2 year fellowship of some sort. The grand parents on ruby's side also have a large home. Kevin's family when ever we saw them didnt been seem to be living high off the hog. Not sure about ruby's brother. He did have a RUclips channel but it was his wife that usually posted stuff.
That family is far sicker than anyone realizes- I hope the truth comes out
The kids are innocent. They didnt choose their sociopathic parents
Regardless, they have internalized some of it. Some of the kids did or said disturbing things on videos. They need to be watched closely.
Well, unfortunately they share their abusive parent's DNA. Genetically predisposed to be abusers. All of them will need good counseling OUTSIDE of the Mormon thing.
@@darkwitnesslxx I am curious - like what? I have never seen any of these vids.
@@darkwitnesslxx It is not surprising if they're a bit strange with those monster parents.
How dare they record their children without the children's consent and plaster it all over the internet for profit.
And then she has the nerve to keep calling them “selfish”. This lady is a bottomless abyss
Could it be possible that Kevin's lawyer has told him that his recent behaviour has made him look really bad. And so, it would be of great benefit to him, if he were to make up with Sheri.
It's ALL a scam to gain control of all the kids once more!
Bingo
Exactly, lawyer told him he was looking like a crazed lunatic lashing out on his own daughter, fix it now and make nicey nice with her.
Absolutely. Don’t fall for it Shari. Looks like Kevin is trying to manipulate you.
Most definately a scam!!!!👍💯
Why is Kevin not charged of child abuse?
Pesky little thing called evidence ..that's why
@@eileenmcdonald1599 his children are evidence enough for me. How he’s not responsible for his children?
Myself coming from An LDS Family.. the exterior looks great.. but the control is Real.. isolation from non members True.. very Modest.. strict.. as I got older and moved out.. it was SHOCKING.. to say the least.. a world we were sheltered from.. I'm no longer a member of the Church of Latter Day Saints.. "Mormons" I have my own personal relationship with the higher power.. I'm able to think and live as I choose.. Now I'm the cast out.. I'm OK with tht.. Peace over Lies..manipulation..deceptive..grooming to live as they tell u.. may WE ALL find PEACE 🥺🙏
Of course Kevin was involved. Maybe not with anything to do with why the 2 women were arrested. He was 100% on board with the treatment of the kids though and the abusive behaviour and actions towards the children. There’s a ton of videos that attest to that. Can’t believe he hasn’t been arrested tbh
Those poor children. Just breaks my heart. 😢
Makes sense to me that she’s not blowing up social media. Her entire childhood was under the social media microscope. I bet public view is her least favorite place to be
Bless her. May she find peace and healing, it’ll be hard but I am so happy for her.
If she stays in the LDS CULT, SHE WONT HAVE A CHANCE.
Why would a father want his oldest child arrested? Seems he should look at himself as didnt he have some knowledge of what was going on? It would be even harder on a child not knowing what or how would be best for her to do in the situation ? I don’t understand his desire to to turn on his daughter. 😢
Because Sheri is a big threat to him. She knows enough to toss him in jail for a very long time
@@amyjohnson7329Exactly. And he is just a worthless POS, IMO. Mean to his wife, family, and students. And he belongs in jail.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
I really hope he does not get custody of them. It’s like throwing them back in the lion den when they’ve just escaped.
BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO SAY SOMETHING!!
I love how parents don’t think their kids won’t bring up their narcissistic tendencies as adults because they usually do as they grow and heal. As they get older and mature. I hope Rubys kids get the love, healing, & support they need!!! ❤❤
"Mommy Dearest".
Yes, without it being broadcast all over social media.
Shari did post in her IG stories after the Finally post. It was maybe within the next couple days later and she was asking people to help find any significant videos and information that may be helpful to the case. She had a google sheet/drive that was set up and given to her. I believe it’s still up on the Reddit forum. So she truly was reaching out to the followers for help. It was a big deal and many community members were helping document info and finding clips online since the channel was deactivated long ago.
❤❤
Shari you're awesome! You've done right by your siblings and I hope you never forget that. ❤ 🙏
❤❤❤❤❤❤
I feel so sorry for those children. I hope they get all the help they need and OMG I hope that Kevin doesn’t get custody of the children. He was right by Ruby’s side with their ridiculous parenting.
I've been watching some of the older videos on Sharis account and have been realizing how little decor the family house had. I mean a family of 6 and none of the kids have ark work hung up? nothing in the rooms or on the walls. It seems almost like a staged house. the kids always look worn out and sick.. truly devastating how much Ruby and Kevin messed those children up
Nice point!
I saw a video where Ruby said she hates decorations. I don’t even know if they had so much as a family photo on their wall. She’s super weird.
@@em-sv1hf I think I did too now that I think about it but now things are making sense
Yes, because this is Ruby's house, the kids have no sense of belonging.
@@Plootyhooter ya the house just seems depressing
Shes tried for years too get attention and help with her mother she was repeatedly ignored and dismissed yet despite that shes still humble and main focus is her siblings ❤
She wasn't ignored. There was no evidence that reached the level needed to do anything
@@eileenmcdonald1599 Youre joking right?! Ruby publicly posted enough to warrant an investigation. Mormons protecting mormons.
She's wonderful. May she have a blessed life.
....little sidenote, if I hear the term "breaks their silence" one more time from a news outlet I think I'm gonna puke. Such an annoying phrase now.
😅 this is also like in the advertising arena, where you’re always hearing the phrase “taking the world by storm“
We stand with you Shari! ❤️
I so like her oldest daughter she is gotten her life normal am so proud of her for finding courage to do this.
It isn’t a stretch to say that without the kids, nobody would have watched any of Ruby & Kevin’s videos, and they wouldn’t have had the large house and all of their possessions on Kevin’s salary as a professor at BYU and Ruby’s job as a stay at home mother of 6 kids. That being said, it would be a fair argument to say that Shari and the rest of the kids owned the electronic items and Kevin was stealing them from Shari!
Similar to the Duggars
Unless the items were paid for by the child themselves then no they technically did not belong to the child.
Not even close. The Duggar children have all been taught skills. These children were only taught to be maids. Yet they were given all types of stuff. Watching their Christmas gift haul one year was disgusting. They all got such items as small refrigerators for their bed rooms. Motorized scooters. The older ones were more like vespas. Plus the one other item was each got knives. Like hunting knives. Even the young ones. Very weird
Poor things. Absolutely shameful what these so called parents and the charlatan counselor have done to them!
Just shows how far the parents will go to try and punish their kids for anything… he didn’t even really examine the contents of the boxes when they were handed back and he was asked if everything was there… he just wanted her punished for no reason. For all we know the kids have been threatened to pretend to be getting along with their dad in from of the cameras. I don’t buy the narrative that they are mending their relationship.
Loving the coverage from Law & Crime and from KUTV! Good work all around.
10.40 they're all walking but it looks as though they're walking as a group, not walking together. If have thought Kevin would walk next to Shari, it didn't look like they were having a conversation. I think his attorney is saying what he thinks people want to hear, not what Kevin is actually doing or the truth. I don't trust Kevin at all
I'm sick of these people.Even after the kids are able to get away from being harmed physically.....theyre all still in the cultchurch
Thank you very much for keeping us all up to date with this crazy case ! Love this channel,fr.Canada 😊❤🇨🇦
This young woman seems very mature and grounded. A lovely soul!
She's been programmed! She needs to leave the church! Everyone in her family values the church over anyone! Look how the grandparents are still doing their mission time in Serbia even though their grandchildren need them! Where are Kevin's family? These people pay to do a mission! The church has these people all over the world! I would never send my children off to places unknown to knock on doors and walk the street! It's insane! Our town requires permits to do any soliciting, The police keep an eye on anyone walking around, especially in their uniform! They stick out like a sore thumb!
Good for her and being able to still talk about her experince publicly. Its about time we heard the childrens persepctive of this whole affair.
So Sheri recognized the abuse posting “finally” but Kevin had no idea or no updates on the kids for a year.
I bet the "father" paid his oldest son a LARGE amount of money to get him to be seen walking to court with him. Either that or he gave him a nice car and a lot of other things...which are harder for a forensic accountant to trace. And that might include a super high end BED.
Funny but sad too.
That was a very expensive suit especially as young as he is he's not done growing.
Doubt it. He does not have a large amount of money. He had lost his job at the college. Most likely because of jodi. Something she has done before she is an expert at breaking up families. And trying to destroy men in particular. And its very obvious from other reports she hates children. Kevin also admitted when the RUclips channel stopped they lost 90 percent of their income.
I bet The dad is going to use the siblings as a tool to guilt Shari into cooperation to save his reputation " you want them taken away from all of us?! "
Ah, Shari, So brave and persistent. Sending love and admiration for her courage. Something tells me that Shari has a great future. Hugs to Shari and her siblings! ❤
I'm sure this 'reconciliation' is due to Kevin's attorney telling him the public opinion of him is shyt, especially after the video of him getting his things, and he needs to at least appear to get along with his daughter. He's not fooling anyone.
Sadly I have to agree. All PR.
Jodi and Ruby were applying Cayenne pepper and a honey mixture to the two younger kids' wounds.
They are insane!
Cayenne Pepper would burn so badly on an open wound!
They were torturing those children.
Are you f-ing kidding me?! I hadn’t heard that yet. What complete monsters to think that’s ok!
Cayenne pepper fights infection
@@Hannadayfloobviously it didn’t! The little boy had infected necrotic tissue on his lower legs.
@@Otis1330that's what the abusers said - not me! Fo
I don’t get how Kevin F could make such a big deal about Shari having the tech when he didn’t seem to care about having it for the past year. What’s on it?!?!
Early on we heard that Ruby told Kevin to get some cash hidden in the house for her lawyer. Maybe she also told him to get the electronics because there was info on them she wanted to keep away from the police. Just conjecture. He sure seemed to know exactly what he wanted, for not being in the house for over a year.
@@lizlarsen1653 that’s exactly my thought. (My question was rhetorical). I’m surprised that the cops didn’t take the electronics to do a check on them before Shari got her hands on them.
@@SandiTerps The Ivins police got warrants and seized electronics from Jodi’s house almost immediately, so I am surprised they didn’t do the same for Ruby’s house. I hope Shari downloaded and copied anything pertinent.
Phone calls will eventually be released Ruby knows not to say anything unless she uses her attorney's phone while he's there to discuss the case .
@@lizlarsen1653I believe at the time they went into the house they only had a search warrant for the two older girls so they weren’t allowed to take anything out of the house. Why there hasn’t been another warrant later on is beyond me.
I dont understand why so many people have the need to share their lives with the world
*Tbf,
And it could also be a way of filling friends and family members in vs. having to repeat the same answers to the same questions one on one
I’m not saying I don’t agree but everyone is different. They didn’t choose this life. Their parents did and it’s directly connected to how they were raised and taught to live.
Money.. And in ruby's case she saw her youngest sister making it and she wanted a piece of the action. same with bonnie and Julie and even the grandparents. The brother has a channel as well. Or should I say did. Haven't looked in awhile so not sure its still there. But he and his wife only posted a few thing. And were not regulars at it.
i can’t believe that “father” hasn’t been charged as well… hopefully there’s a pending investigation into him and he doesn’t get to walk away from this situation free. he is just as guilty as ruby!
I think her hubby just followed his abusive wife's thinking making him still allowing these abuses and never helped his kids stay safe. Shame on Ruby and her hubby. Hard to stomach these sorts of parents. I question their church just like I question Amish practices.
Nope. Kevin was involved the whole time. Kevin is just as much of a problem. Considering that Shari cut Kevin off as much as Ruby, he was involved. Though I would say some of that is Jodi.
His name
Is KEVIN, he’s no “hubby” & he’s an abusive jerk just like Ruby
They don't represent the church.
Mormon?
Yes, Mormon. And they DO represent the church since it was a bishop of the church who pushed them into counseling with that abuser. They were following the church's instructions, so yeah .. they do. You may not like their behavior, but that doesn't negate the fact that the Mormon church had their hands all over this.
The dad doesnt deserve his kids, I hope sherrie gets custody
Hope not. She needs to have her own life. She is only 20. These children will need a great deal of time and attention . never mind all the therapy they will need. Yes she does need to be in their lives. But not totally responsible for them. She has issues that need t ending to as well.
Poor Shari is probably being bombarded with interview requests...making the situation even more stressful
Shari will have her own pr team
Every now and again when I watched their videos I obviously knew their parents were crazy but as one of the oldest I’ve always had hope for her. Hope that when she gets older she’ll be able to get out into the world and realize kids shouldn’t be treated like her and siblings were. Glad to know that she’s doing ok and trying to protect her siblings.
Sending so much love!!
I pray to God the kids don't go with the father because he participated in all of that horrible parenting that him and her did
Gotta say, if it was me walking in and out of the court house, no way would I be laughing. Such a strange family.
I agree. I believe there is a lot more that we do not know.
These kids definitely have some weird opinions on things themselves. Ruby aside, there are things the kids did or said on video that should be concerning. They should be watched closely.
I agree! I don’t understand why Shari wants to get back in the spotlight on YT! Because of their strange upbringing being always recorded and filmed she might think that that’s the real life, but it isn’t at all!
Yey seems like the kids are damage gods.
@@elsedutch4972 maybe that's why is was reported that the two sisters did not want to go with her. That was in an article.
SO SAD, after all they been through, still seem to be doing well, I hope they're locked up and the Dad. Bless all of the children. You are all amazing, Thank you for telling your stories.
The dad isn’t very bright. He had to ask the police what emaciated meant. Couldn’t believe an adult would ask that.
He knew full well...he is a scammer...
Wtg Shari. I am so sorry you sent through all this. You are loved by many as are your siblings. Much love to you.
I hope she is seeking therapy outside the Mormon church; Remember it was church sponsor therapy (Hildebrant and Connections) that got us here.
It was her mother making the garbage decisions. Ruby as well as Jodi are the big problem. Ruby has always shown to need to be the boss and run the show so to speak. Have seen old family movies where she was not just mean but downright cruel to her brother.
How about the father ? does he not have a responsibility to care for his kids? why is he not being charged?
It is disingenuous using a video posted to her IG from January as if it’s a recent response. I also wouldn’t trust anything Kevin Franke’s attorney says, especially when it comes to Shari. I do think it’s interesting though that Shari’s IG post uses similar language to Kevin’s recent statement about everything being upside down.
Oh Lord in Heaven please help these poor little babies 😢 💔
How come Kevin wasn’t arrested? He knew what was going on. And they are his children. How is Kevin free?
There is no doubt in my mind she took the computers and tablets to see what she could find, she didn't want to depend on whatever the 'investigation' found. Beautiful girl and I hope she makes the most of all of this turmoil, hope she has the wisdom in the future to realize that God has everything to do with getting her through this, not just a part.
Very well said thank you for sharing
I’m not sure that’s a comfort since he put her in that horrible situation to begin with
That was SO FREAKING smart of Shari ❤
Perhaps there are things on the electronics and in the journal that dad needs to keep very private.
This is what I think happened. The police broke down the door to the house. Dcfs was getting the 2 girls and meeting Shari at the house. Shari, smart girl, realizes the door has been broke down, grabs all the items that could be stolen so they are safe. Kevin should be praising Shari for her quick thinking, not suing her. I know Shari gave all the stuff to the police and they gave it to Kevin.
Ruby is not a good representative of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She is abusive to her children and that is not what the Church teaches at all. In fact leaders speak out against it all the time. Does it mean it never happens, no. People make terrible choices everyday. And because they made all those videos public, spouting her Jody doctrine, it made it seem like it was the Church telling her this. No. It was Jody and her warped ideas. I pray for Shari and her siblings. Be strong kids! ❤
Sending prayers for these children. Hope the get the help they need to heal. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The dad wanting to prosecute his daughter but in the phone call with Ruby says to her he'll stick by her no matter what she has done? Tells you all you need to know.
I’ll ask again. WHERE WAS DAD???
Maybe she should stop sharing her life, as that's what led her to the dark place she's at now.
I don’t agree. She shouldn’t have to hide away.
@@gillmiller3702 It's not "hiding away" when you just live your life like billions of other people do without videoing it and sharing it with total strangers.
Yes!!! Stop commending this behavior!
@@gillmiller3702it’s not hiding, it’s just not shoving it in Everyone’s faces!
@@user-gf7ud3qp7h commending what
I really wish we knew Chad's thoughts also
That is not saying much. He has always been an airhead
Call sweetheart I'm so sorry this is happening to you 😢🙏.. I'm praying for your full recovery and every aspect of life. Hugs from 🇨🇦
I never understood why "dear dad" wasn't prosecuted too 🤷♀️
I don’t get it either, he was there for much of the abuse. Hopefully, after the children have a chance to breathe and recover a bit, they might come forward with evidence to have him arrested also.
Poor baby I wish I could reach out and hug you ALL :) sending luv to all of you!
Kudos.. She's my hero! You are so amazing. Sending you love, hugs and healing energy.❤🎉❤🎉
Thanks for this report
KIDS NEED TO SUE THEIR MOM & HILDEBRANDT, TAKE BOTH THEIR HOMES & ANY ASSETS. (They'll need it LIFELONG THERAPY)
RUBI NEEDS TO GET 60 YEARS & JODI NEEDSTO RECEIVE LIFE
Do you really believe there is any real money left
She needs to stay off social media the money is not worth you losing your privacy.
Yes!!!
It's the family business , immediately her sisters were on damage control , within the first paragraph of her sisters video about Ruby they mentioned that they hoped this wouldn't effect their views ! Until the Coogans law is amended to include "reality " tv greedy people will exploit their children for money they're like pimps and their kids are part of their stable.
