Re: Sarah's statement about the oldest girl who went to college. I just thought of something- I bet the oldest sister was doing most of the actual caretaking of the other kids. She was probably doing laundry, cooking, watching them when Ruby was gone, dressing them for school, doing their hair, protecting them from the parents, etc. So when she left, Ruby's severe neglect and abuse had no intermediary
"I got to touch the woman she could have been." That... Broke me. I remember having this realization with my own mother. And then that good part of them is gone. Fuck, that hurts.
I’m happy that Sarah emphasized that children are not extensions of their parents. There’s so many cases like this where the mother demands complete control over their children. It’s like the mother sees the kid as just another vessel for the parent’s will. Motherhood/pregnancy is just a way for them to produce more of themselves. Kate Gosselin, Ruby Frankie, and Lori Vallow all seem like well known examples of this phenomenon but to different severity levels.
I can't imagine how bad the eldest daughter must have felt when she left her siblings at home with their parents :( even if she went full no contact with them she still loved her siblings and the guilt that she felt for leaving was probably insane.
my parents are addicts, not the same, but still a form of abuse and a horrible situation. And i cant even explain the guilt i feel for not being able to save all of my little siblings from the home.
As someone who has a similar childhood/fundie cult parents and had to go low contact.. You often come to the conclusion that you can't make your siblings realise how bad things are, they have to get to that conclusion yourself, you can do your best but there's certain times where no amount of effort will change their minds because they've been raised in such a way. Wishing her and her siblings all the best and lovely healing.
This episode was handled with so much care. Kendahl did a great job explaining the backstory and sarah have such great insight on the inner workings of narcissistic ab*se. I’m so sorry to the Franke kids, the Schauer kids, and anyone else who suffered through child ab*se. You didn’t deserve it, you deserved to be loved and cared for in a safe environment. I hope things are better and you’re able to get the support you need. As a queer ex Mormon with a verbally ab*s*ve father this hit close to home but I could never imagine everything these poor kids went through. The oldest is so brave to get away and the 12year old is too for escaping to ask for help. I hope all these siblings are able to receive the love and care they deserved all along.
i got weirdly excited (can't find the right word) after hearing the child abuse trigger warning cuz as an abused child i need to hear Sarah talk about the subject. the way they talk about things are almost always what i feel about things but i don't have the words to describe it and listening to them talk gives me words to express my feelings.
I want you to know that I understand the feeling and I started to think about it and I can’t find the word you’re looking for but I know there is one. It’s somewhere along the lines of “joyful anticipation” (although not exactly that, more about feeling identified with, or seen) and I feel there’s a synonym in “The Night Before Christmas” but I’m literally blanking.
I was also an abused child and I wanna know what you thought. There were a few issues I found where they were like 'that probably didn't happen,' and it made me feel horrible. Like when they said 'cps didn't laugh' when thats literally happened to me. I'm tending to welts all over while I hear my mom and cps making jokes. I don't think kids who weren't abused in the same way understand. It's just not possible.
@@kayteebarga9694 i wrote a whole comment but accidentally canceled it and now i cannot find the right words but i will still try. I am so sorry you had to go through the horrible abuse, you didn't deserve it at all. i understand how it can feel invalidating to hear someone say "that probably didn't happen" when the same thing has actually happened to you. I usually hear these words from my abusers or enablers (and it feels horrible but their intent is to make me feel horrible so...) I don't actually know how it feels when a random person says it (i think it would make me question my reality more than when my abusers say it). i think in the podcast they were just trying to give the cps workers benefit of the doubt as many times outsiders who are there to help do act friendly to the abusers to seem unharmful (but of course there are also many times when they actually end up enabling the abuse even more). people who were raised in a respectful safe home would never understand what people who were raised on survival mode went through. Where i am right now mentally (too tired and done), i just feel happy for them... they were actually cared for and given so much love that imagining this kind of abuse is almost impossible for them... i know the pain too well and i am happy they didn't have to get hurt like that... so it's like... you know... at least some people did live a good life even if i was not one of them.
Loved hearing your input with your background and upbringings. Just so you know the neighbor that called 911 was a man actually and his wife! They waited for cops and ambulance to arrive on their front porch together and got the child food and water. I believe it is public record so be sure to listen if you want to hear the full recording. Very heartbreaking to hear the neighbor get emotional when the operator asks about the boy’s injuries and restraints. The moment he realized the boy was held captive and intentionally hurt.
Sarah's story about Thanksgiving with her aunt and seeing the "person my mom could have been" was so deeply personal and affirming for me. My mom was an alcoholic and I would see on and off her potential to be a full person whenever she would have her periods of sobriety
I thought of Kendahl the second I heard the news!! ETA: Sarah’s “you are a plastic straw in the middle of an oil spill” is genius 👏🏽 totally adapting that.
19:38 Timeline... Chad turned 13 and got a phone + IG. He was very popular, obviously. She made him delete his account. She was jealous. Soon after, there was a family trip. When they returned, the parents took him to the camp. He was there for 49 days. He was back for a short time before the beanbag months.
Kendahl please stop apologizing for telling us the backstory! It's amazing information for someone like me who doesn't know anything about the subject and you explain it all so well. Thank you
Trigger warning ⚠️ (Child abuse) This is so sad. I'm glad both Ruby and Whatshername are in custody. I hope all the kids and *anyone* else affected by this abuse get all the support, resources, and healing they rightly deserve. I fully believe that the child who escaped and ran for help, saved their, or one of their sibling's lives. From the abundance of evidence showing escalation during the family channel years, to now. And now, hearing the details of the arrest and current abuse. I just cannot imagine a world where this had any other ending than a death or arrest. That baby ( I know they are around 12, but idk that Ruby ever treated them like a baby deserves) is so strong and heroic to have taken such a huge, scary risk. I can't imagine how hard and stressful it may have been deciding to try and then doing it. I'm really proud of them, even if thats a bit weird of me to say being a total stranger adult. It's just such an unimaginable amount of mental strength.
I’m so glad you guys decided to speak on this situation because most people online that their thing is being funny, they think they can’t ever be serious. It’s super important for everyone to have actual conversations about things like this because it’s the only way these kind of things will stop. Obviously it’s not going to fix abusive people but it’s going to reach a wider range of people that may have not otherwise known what abuse looks like in their lives. Thank you and I really appreciate you both, no matter what your talking about. 💙💕
You’re so right about mormon influencers having a different set of rules. I remember when I was so shocked at Al Carraway filming inside the temple for instagram.
I just want to say, as someone who had a similar childhood to Sarah I love the input they give, and their perceptions, I can see the therapy in work and love the insight
If I had to get myself up on time to go to school at age 4 or 5 I would’ve never gone to school. There was another time where she threatened to cut up Eve’s stuffed animal on camera. It really does seem like she was the scapegoat.
there’s a lot of wild nuances to being a child in an abusive home. i was kind of a Munchausen syndrome by proxy case with a brain tumor and received insane levels of verbal abuse and gaslighting, to the point i was being torn apart so bad that i was incapable of believing there was anything safe for me outside of the abuse. had a sister who even tore me up for not wanting my abuser in my life because its better to have at least “one parent” than none at all. i was trapped. i was being further disabled to be emotionally incapable of leaving for fear of what would happen to me and my sister if i did escape. people pull the “why didn’t you leave if it was so bad” thing all the time but it really isn’t that simple. you’re made to believe that this is normal, you’re isolated from healthy relationships so you don’t see that you’re being deceived, and you still crave the love of your abuser because “they’re all you’ve got”, and to save yourself would be dooming your siblings or your parent ( who has weaponized their incompetence to be your burden ) - so you stay and don’t question it. i feel for these kids. i’m so glad y’all’re talking about these things and allowing awareness to spread through this channel. and to anyone who might be reading this in an abusive ( familial or otherwise ) situation and don’t know what to do, i promise - there is healing and peace on the other side. be safe but be prepared, because abuse can only go so far before you crumble. you deserve freedom. don’t let your abuser convince you otherwise.
I hope they get sentenced to the max. I work in corrections and a guy was found guilty of child abuse. He used religion as his “reasoning” for severely abusing his children. The mother is in trouble too bc she would record the abuse. CPS had been in and out of home as well. The father was only sentenced to 13 years in prison. Still waiting on the mothers trial.
So crazy, I lived about 2 miles away from them, I saw them driving around in their van all the time, I went to school with their daughter, even had a friend date her briefly. So watch to see it all unravel.
Omg I was LITERALLY catching up on this situation and was about to watch the Family Vloggers episode, and much to my surprise you're uploading a video dedicated to it in 10 minutes 😄😄
@@laurielmaoo i fortunately am. I cut off all communication with them because I started to realize that they were manipulating/abusing me. They are both covert narcisists, and they won't accept me being trans, so I went from the golden child (good grades/listened to them) to the bad example. I really relate to the oldest 8 passenger kid in that way. I just did whatever to get their love/survive until I couldn't anymore. I hope it showed my little siblings that they can also get out one day. I live with my former step mom now, and it has been better.
@@nightjetts i’m sorry you were treated like that, you’re super brave for living as yourself an getting out of there when u could :) you’re a great role model to your siblings, i hope you guys can reunite safely soon
Ruby taped paper over the windows at the house at one time. That tells me she didn't want the kids to see the police and child protection officers who turned up several times due to worried people making complaints against the parenting.
Children on RUclips deserve the same rights as child actors. RUclips must stop parents from profiting off of their children. Aside from this kind of abuse, no one wants every single awkward part of their childhood recorded and on the internet for life. It’s not fair and causing so many issues, some we might not even be aware of today.
Omg i am obessed with planning too and have so many google maps folders and ointerest board's. Also notion is AMAZING. I watch planning content. Jordan should consider it!
Just FYI I've heard the 911 call and the person who called and got emotional was an old man, that's how bad the childs state was. He was losing his hit.
Idk why I haven’t watched one of these until now but this was a great episode, in spite of how terrible Ruby is. (I hope she gets life) but you guys were great and I have a lot of episodes to catch up on
With reference to what was said about the children that are ‘in distortion’ being kept away from the others, this was something that came up when the children were taken by CPS. It was reported that Ruby actually said to CPS that the two that were starved and had the wounds from being tied up should be kept away from the others in protective custody. She truly is absolutely gone in the head.
I feel like even if the new laws only deal with the monetization aspect of family channels, it will still change the dynamic of channels who abuse their kids for views. the main reason they do this heinous shit is because they make money, and if they’re legally obligated to save some of that money for their kid who appears in the video, chances are their kids will be featured a lot less
Unfortunately the Illinois law is only if the child is in 30% of the content or more AND only if the content makes ten cents or more per view. Which is very unlikely apparently. The podcast Psychology in Seattle talked about it during their Duggar deep dive. It seems like the law might be a reaction to complaints or someone suing a parent, that could explain why the stipulations are so weird. But who knows. If I a kid is in 100% of the content but the channel only gets 9 cents per view it doesn’t apply. Or if they’re in 29% of the content but they get 15 cents per view it doesn’t apply. Hopefully it’s a small stepping stone in the right direction though.
From my understanding the kid didn't even climb out the window to get away, knowing things were wrong. He we just that hungry that he needed to get out to get food.
1:06:51 Mormon here, just as a heads up no one is allowed to film inside the temple. Any footage you see online of people doing stuff in the temple is unauthorized. There is some footage of the insides of temples that is sanctioned by the church but that is usually taken during open houses when the public can tour the building before it's dedicated. (And yes, I am aware that the Mormon church is a hell scape. I'm just here to spit a fact🫶)
As a former Christian who KNOWS it is bullshit, I am still occasionally terrified I will go to hell. To the point that I am crippled by fear and anxiety
I believe the dad is claiming the stuff being said about the mom is slander, and they're like not abusive, or what not.. so if he did know, which is hard to believe he didn't, then I think he's involved if he's still trying to say it's false
I just don't understand how, as a mother, you can do that to your kids. Like HOW does your brain think it's okay to bolt your kids' doors shut at night and tie up their hands and feet???? Wouldn't you see your children sobbing and immediately want to stop??? She needs to be locked tf away
@@katc2040 but the mom is the one who did most of the RUclips channel stuff. this episode is about the RUclips channel. why are you trying to fight lmao I agree with your point? both parents can be bad. but the mom specifically was horrible in this case. was the dad too? yes. but ruby was just DEMONIC
Children do manipulate. Manipulation is just getting your needs met either directly or indirectly, so we really just need to rethink our view of manipulation, understand why Children manipulate! It is still about the parent or guardian not proving the child what they need. Manipulation is an indicator in humans that we need love or attention.
Manipulation requires a power indifference, and intent. Both of which children don't have. That's like saying a dog is purposely Manipulating. They see responses to behaviors and repeat them to get the same response. It's how the brain learns
Damn, ppl got mad at you for practicing preventative healthcare bc the US healthcare system has deprived them to the point of believing that consistently seeing a doctor is bad?! Weird world we live in
Yet in other countries healthcare is free. All healthcare is free!! America is truly effed up, its human rights scoring is deplorable , and you think nothing wrong with being armed like a soldier. Republicans ruin America. Europeans respect Biden greatly because he’s trying to help you align with other 1st world countries Take that opportunity or be isolated from other democratic countries. I wish all good sane Americans a good healthy life, the nutty stupid religious zealots can go to Hell. Especially when you consider their idea of Christianity is to hate everyone and everything.. vote 💙
First time watching or listening to you two, I like both your personalities, but- lol , you two say the word " like" Way Too Much, especially the person with the brown hair, sorry it's so over used like like like- ugh!

It often makes it worse when they have those moments. It would be so much easier if they were their “normal” awful selves all the time.

the FIRST and IMMEDIATE thing i thought of when i saw the Ruby Franke news was Kendahl.
you guys should do an episode on the Myers-Briggs personality types

Trigger warning ⚠️
(Child abuse)
This is so sad. I'm glad both Ruby and Whatshername are in custody. I hope all the kids and *anyone* else affected by this abuse get all the support, resources, and healing they rightly deserve.
I fully believe that the child who escaped and ran for help, saved their, or one of their sibling's lives. From the abundance of evidence showing escalation during the family channel years, to now. And now, hearing the details of the arrest and current abuse. I just cannot imagine a world where this had any other ending than a death or arrest.
That baby ( I know they are around 12, but idk that Ruby ever treated them like a baby deserves) is so strong and heroic to have taken such a huge, scary risk. I can't imagine how hard and stressful it may have been deciding to try and then doing it. I'm really proud of them, even if thats a bit weird of me to say being a total stranger adult. It's just such an unimaginable amount of mental strength.

Unfortunately the Illinois law is only if the child is in 30% of the content or more AND only if the content makes ten cents or more per view. Which is very unlikely apparently. The podcast Psychology in Seattle talked about it during their Duggar deep dive.
It seems like the law might be a reaction to complaints or someone suing a parent, that could explain why the stipulations are so weird. But who knows.
If I a kid is in 100% of the content but the channel only gets 9 cents per view it doesn’t apply. Or if they’re in 29% of the content but they get 15 cents per view it doesn’t apply.
Hopefully it’s a small stepping stone in the right direction though.
Yall rock
From my understanding the kid didn't even climb out the window to get away, knowing things were wrong. He we just that hungry that he needed to get out to get food.
1:06:51 Mormon here, just as a heads up no one is allowed to film inside the temple. Any footage you see online of people doing stuff in the temple is unauthorized. There is some footage of the insides of temples that is sanctioned by the church but that is usually taken during open houses when the public can tour the building before it's dedicated. (And yes, I am aware that the Mormon church is a hell scape. I'm just here to spit a fact🫶)
Loved this episode bc we got some darker stuff
god sarah’s parent dynamics sound exactly like my parents. narcissistic selfish undx’d ND parents
19:00 so it’s lord of the flies …
As a former Christian who KNOWS it is bullshit, I am still occasionally terrified I will go to hell. To the point that I am crippled by fear and anxiety
I dont think that fear ever really leaves us even if we dont believe anymore
I'm living
I believe the dad is claiming the stuff being said about the mom is slander, and they're like not abusive, or what not.. so if he did know, which is hard to believe he didn't, then I think he's involved if he's still trying to say it's false
I just don't understand how, as a mother, you can do that to your kids. Like HOW does your brain think it's okay to bolt your kids' doors shut at night and tie up their hands and feet???? Wouldn't you see your children sobbing and immediately want to stop??? She needs to be locked tf away
I never understand why people specify as a mother as If being a father makes it different
@@katc2040 because this video is primarily about an abusive mother? lmao.
@@joeytheestallionthe dad was there too??
@@katc2040 but the mom is the one who did most of the RUclips channel stuff. this episode is about the RUclips channel.
why are you trying to fight lmao I agree with your point? both parents can be bad. but the mom specifically was horrible in this case. was the dad too? yes. but ruby was just DEMONIC
OMG YESSS
They also make them sleep in the bathroom.
I’m the baby and scapegoat. 😅
1:35 15:42
The mormons will provide and protect her, take the case out of Utah
Im still so confused how her channel thrived for so long she gave abusive vibes from the beginning
It was a man who called 911!
I hope prison treats these ladies as well as they treated their kids
Children do manipulate. Manipulation is just getting your needs met either directly or indirectly, so we really just need to rethink our view of manipulation, understand why Children manipulate! It is still about the parent or guardian not proving the child what they need. Manipulation is an indicator in humans that we need love or attention.
Manipulation requires a power indifference, and intent. Both of which children don't have. That's like saying a dog is purposely Manipulating. They see responses to behaviors and repeat them to get the same response. It's how the brain learns
@katc2040 care to explain how manipulation requires these terms you lay out? Also, define power indifference?
48:33 The neighbor that called 911 wasan older guy. Not a woman.
Damn, ppl got mad at you for practicing preventative healthcare bc the US healthcare system has deprived them to the point of believing that consistently seeing a doctor is bad?! Weird world we live in
No fr!!! It's so sick
Yet in other countries healthcare is free. All healthcare is free!!
America is truly effed up, its human rights scoring is deplorable , and you think nothing wrong with being armed like a soldier.
Republicans ruin America. Europeans respect Biden greatly because he’s trying to help you align with other 1st world countries Take that opportunity or be isolated from other democratic countries. I wish all good sane Americans a good healthy life, the nutty stupid religious zealots can go to Hell. Especially when you consider their idea of Christianity is to hate everyone and everything.. vote 💙
I watch better family RUclips channels
First time watching or listening to you two, I like both your personalities, but- lol , you two say the word " like" Way Too Much, especially the person with the brown hair, sorry it's so over used like like like- ugh!
