[@jameswojcik2783]

I worked in a medium security prison here in Alabama it sounds like the prisoners Limestone Correctional Facility or treated better than rubies kids. Three meals a day and if you have commissary privileges and there was the opportunity for more food. A chaplain was on duty and there was 24-hour Healthcare. There was supervised Recreation time and some classes were available. I hope Ruby learning some valuable lessons while locked up. The importance of the food you got to eat. Not being high on the pecking order regarding dealing with other inmates. Trying to get to sleep was a lot of noise going on. Lastly hygiene needs. Sharing a metal toilet with no privacy. I actually wish you're well while in jail I hope she learns to treat people with dignity and respect. There will be male Corrections Officers. Will she be able to handle it if approached for sexual favors.

“Hopefully no one gives her food” I’m sorry what? A 6 year old? Imagine having such spite for YOUR child like that?

[@thiccynikky3805]

Rightt, even an adult would reach for tissues if they spilt juice. Like did she expect the child to go get cleaning products instead? Which is so very dangerous for kids

[@heatherrowles9930]

Nope. She doesnt. It is far worse than that. I was raised very similarly to the way Ruby Franke was raising her kids. They dont expect their kids to be able to problem solve and rationalize like adults, although I could and did at a very early age because you have to learn really quickly when your safety is at stake, my parents relied on the very real fact that what they expected and demanded of us was unnatural and unfair. How else could they take out their frustrations and anger? Parents like this deliberately set their kids up for failure. What made it so much worse when we were kids is that it was only us adopted and fostered kids that copped it. The three biological sons got away with everything pretty much. It might sound awful but at least the Frankes abused their own kids, not someone elses. And yes, absolutely Kevin is as guilty as Ruby is.

[@rosannemorkel2412]

@akaErma You knew this, were appalled, but did nothing? Don't say you couldn't do anything. If enough people sitting and - another iffy situation - watching this channel - had called Child Protective Services "a couple years ago"? That would have done something. Instead, you're appalled now, and feel the need to announce it. That's disturbing.

[@kjh6903]

@@ARolls-dd2zd yes and in that time cps was called and visited several times but saw nothing wrong😡 So sad maybe they should have talked to the kids . I can’t imagine what they went through in those 2 years . I had never heard of this family until the arrest . Sounds like a lot of people were trying to help somehow . Poor children.

[@anitacollins8864]

Does anyone else realize there is a severe shortage of funds stet homes to place children into? The only reason the children are getting help is because police were called not cps and it was a neighbor that called with the child in apparent distress. Calling cps does not do any good because they are not there to tear up homes but to keep families together. IMO

[@CandyLover556]

I have followed this situation for a while and I still get so frustrated that the kids weren't allowed any kinds of devices such as PHONES (not even computers for mandatory homework, if I remember correctly??) but they were posted online for everyone to see in their most embarrassing moments...

[@abelis644]

She made millions. The people who watched her abuse her kids without doing anything enabled and encouraged her even without saying so. They are partly responsible. Some people did speak up but the majority didn't!!!

[@snowwhite2524]

She didn't want them to be able to call for help when they were left alone at home for days or after they were abused. She was also isolating them from any friends or support they could have outside the home. It's one of the ways narcissists maintain control of their victims.

[@eriskalli]

They're claiming that criminal abuse is necessary to raise kids with "grit" so they're not "snowflakes", but what kind of child are you raising when you're making every single choice they'll ever make? How is breadcrumbing basic human needs going to foster fortitude and self reliance? Trauma makes someone more vulnerable, not less. It's just a blank cheque for cruelty.

it makes me physically ill how poorly she treated her children. She saw them as props and it upsets me that she told other people that her way was the right way and that some people followed that advice. When she says "do you see how loving that is" regarding her kids having no privacy or personal space it baffles me because there is no love in controlling your children and there is no love in her voice when she says that.

[@usagicore]

well said. when she said that, at first i couldn’t tell if she was trying to make a joke or something due to how insincere her voice sounded. her joy & giddiness only seems to be expressed when punishing them. it’s like she gets a sense of personal satisfaction watching her kids suffer at her own hands. truly a nightmare of a woman, and such a shame those kids were subjected to this kind of parent for so long.

I agree with you and it’s annoying to hear people say the Ruby is also a victim. it’s Ruby’s “TRUTH” that she chose to listen to her bizarre and extreme punishment methods. Let’s also look at the fact the more extreme treatment of her kids…more views…which equals more money.

[@griffinmathers929]

She's diseased. The fact that we I guarantee are only hearing the tip of the iceberg... Just awful.

[@Lokimamabear]

I honestly just assumed given how Ruby locks up the food it was only when Ruby LET the children ‘pack a lunch’ so if they ‘forgot’ it was because Ruby made sure they did. And made them think they just ‘forgot’

[@ylla_]

Right! I remember making my lunch at that age, but it was with the help and supervision of my parents and they still had to check it before i could bring it to school. Nothing wrong with involving young kids in these types of things, but you need to help them with it

[@demiifrost]

One bit that was left out that makes me enraged was the fact that when Ruby was on trial, she told them that Russell, the youngest boy, the one who SAVED THE FAMILY by going to the neighbors house, was s*xually harassing the family and other kids. So the judges deemed Russell unfit to be around other kids, so when they inevitably go into the foster system, the Franke kids can't all be together. That horrible woman isolated Russell

[@bcpr9812]

I hope that this is investigated and Russell is cleared ASAP and reunited with his siblings, because I doubt the authorities will find any evidence of Russell SA-ing others.

[@abelis644]

Ruby has not yet gone to trial. These 2 monsters won't go to trial for months if not years. This case is only 2 weeks old. She made those disgusting comments when she first appeared in front of a judge at a bail hearing. They're both held without bail.

[@Thundersnowy]

The fact this judge LISTENED to a single word she said is beyond terrifying. A red flag! Because they had two different judges at first, they must've known this judge was softer (more Mormon) than the other one, and the court granted their request to pick him as the judge for both of them! I've never heard of getting to pick your judge! I've never heard of getting to opt out of jail with a 'medical emergency,' BOTH of them! People have DIED in jail, curled up in a ball vomiting! They never care! I fear special treatment is coming. If the church needs this story to die, it will die! Especially if this is a card carrying MORMON judge who is told to go easy on them. These two are master manipulators! They need a judge who can't be influenced by what's best for the church's reputation! People around here know their judges! The Mormon church controls so much, and if this judge is a Mormon, there's no telling what kind of influence that will have on him. Jodi has been the church leaders' go-to for when they need to send a vulnerable person for 'therapy.' (Indoctrination) Anything that makes the church look bad, around here in Utah, the members are in every profession, and every full member of the church takes an oath in the temple before their god, to always protect the church ahead of everything else. Including their own children. So if this judge is a full member of the church, that could be why Jodi requested to be moved to him instead of the judge she had. Maybe he was harsher and not a Mormon. I want to know! They also won't say who Jodi's representation is, if it's anything McConkie, then the church is representing her. The whole thing stinks. The fact DCFS 'apologized to Ruby for bothering her' 2 years ago when there was so much social pressure, they finally had to show up to check on the kids, is strange! The evidence was all over her KZbin! Since when do case workers apologize for bothering people? Never! Why did this judge punish Russell because of his mom's OBVIOUS to the rest of us, attempt to hurt him even more by blaming him for SA of 20 kids? Does he have no experience with liars, manipulators, creeps? If she was a man, would they judge have listened to him? Only if he was a fully paid, card carrying white member of the church!

[@griffinmathers929]

Ruby has not been on trial. Not sure what you're referring to, she & her vile friend were arrested 30 August, there's been iirc a bail hearing. Can someone fact check me, my brain is over loaded. . There won't be "judges". This is not being heard by the Supreme Court. There's been no trial, she can still plead guilty, and get less time and no trial. Be absolutely certain to only repeat facts, please. This affects children.

[@griffinmathers929]

This: The fact this judge LISTENED to a single word she said is beyond terrifying. But we still have the presumption of innocence in our laws. It has to be equally applied, no matter what. I hate it, I've lost friends to murder, my town was bombed by a terrorist, we all have PTSD, we who lived. I write a Victim Impact Statement OVER and over and over. My best friend was murdered in 1990! The pos was given the death penalty. And yet he's been up for possible release I've lost track of how many times. The Mormon church does not have the power of a cult like Scientology. I believe "LDS" is a cult. She had kids because she was taught they'll live with her on her planet she gets after death, right? So ... Why would the Mormon church support a child abuser? Utah confuses me. The people who refused to see the huge tragic fact of heroin addiction in SLC, hopefully they won't be on the jury, if there's no plea deal.

[@collegeman1988]

All those videos Ruby posted will be used against her in court, which I think is great. Prosecutors need to show proof of Ruby abusing her children to a jury, and this will help to guarantee Ruby will stay in prison and never see her children ever again.

[@griffinmathers929]

[@snowwhite2524]

Those kids suffer until they move out, they hurt others, they hurt themselves, or they end up dead like JJ Vallow and Tylee Ryan. It really is horrifying that there are so many children out there that need help to get away from abusive families. It's a tragedy that our government usually gets it wrong when it comes to removing children from their parents homes. CPS sees a big house and money and they give the family a seal of approval. If you have money you can get away with almost anything in this country.

[@m_here1]

All of this is horrible but the pineapple juice story really upset me. Ruby expects a 3 and 5 year old to use cleaning chemicals to clean up sticky juice because, in summary of what she said, a paper towel is not enough. Before they even know how to read. I’m glad that kid didn’t try to do more than use a paper towel because they could have seriously hurt themselves or their sibling if they tried to use a cleaning product. Also, every kid is different, but most 6 year olds don’t have the maturity/attention span to remember to pack their lunch and bring it to school. And then to say that you hope the child goes hungry for eight hours. Horrible. Your child is not old enough to take on that responsibility, and you as the parent are responsible for that until they are capable of it. If you don’t want to deal with it, don’t have so many kids.

y'know, i'll clown on some pretty dark shit, but in this situation, all i can really say is that i'm glad those kids are finally getting help, and i hope they go on to receive the nurturing and care they've been denied.

[@leesreptilesandaquatics6368]

Im so happy that the little boy was so brave and exscaped to call the cops to save him and his sister . These people deserve to be starved and thrown in the hole where they are locked up 24 hours a day for next 30 years for what they did to all 6 kids

[@beckywood2635]

This woman hates her kids. She doesn’t think that her children are allowed to have basic emotions such as happiness. There is a difference between teaching your children how to survive on their own and abusing and neglecting them. If you hate children so much why in the world would you keep having them!

They're numb because they're desensitized to Ruby and her husband's insane abuse. They know anything and everything triggers their snowflake parents so it wouldn't matter if they behaved or not. And come on, toddlers don't knownthe exact proper way to clean all on their own. It's not like learning walk and talk where they develop in stages to do it, or an instinct like needing to eat and sleep. How absurd.

I think KZbin needs to stop monetizing family vloggers. That will cut down on the number of parents that put their kids on public display. Most of the family vloggers are exploiting their children’s privacy for personal financial gain.

[@cassiejenecke8644]

I'm not religious, and I have no problem with those that are, but people like Ruby Franke make me so agitated. Like, there's no reason to use religion to justify abuse. In fact, it's not a justification, because there will never be a justification to abuse your children. It makes me feel so nauseous to see people like her using their beliefs to harm others. Religion is not inherently bad, it never has been, but people like her make it look horrendous.

[@S.S.web4003]

I think these kids are going to suffer so much more from psychological abuse. The physical will heal quickly. But I think they did a real number psychologically. The boy said he was in his condition at his own fault. So putting the pieces together from Adam's interview and Jesse's, then considering Ruby's accusations in court, I bet these evil women convinced the child he did what Ruby said. I grew up in a religion with similar structure as LDS. And it's already like mental gymnastics. You're taught to live in guilt. Add these extra elements, and I feel so bad for these kids

This case alone will spark a whole range of new laws to help children in family channels. Sad that it had to come to that, but with channels like daddy'o'five and 8 passengers, there is a pattern between family channels and abuse that needs to be addressed.

[@nicolenotizieeamici]

[@jamesc.3295]

Makes me appreciate my parents... Both women, and the husband are evil. The gift of Truth will be slammed down on their heads.

[@bobbicatt]

These channels need to stop. Monetizing of KZbin in my opinion added to the abuse as Ruby knew the more extreme she treated the kids, the more views she got, leading to more money. It’s also not fair for these kids to have all their personal lives out there . It’s such an easy fix but as with all things…Google isn’t going to stop it as they make too much money.those poor kids. I can’t imagine what she was like off camera. I hope both Jody and Ruby are held accountable as it’s not just Ruby’s kids affected, but any idiot that followed this extreme and abusive way of parenting.

[@snowwhite2524]

With 2.5 million followers and millions of viewers on top of that, I hate to think of how many parents are abusing their kids in the same way. Hopefully Ruby and Jodi get long prison sentences and it sends a message to their followers that their parenting methods are abusive and they will be caught and put in jail.

[@marqkc]

It's always the people with "conservative views" that do some horrific things. I hope none of her kids took her values to heart and become much better people in the future after getting the help they desperately need.

[@ElanaVital83]

[@sourgreendolly7685]

There's certainly a noticeable percentage but it's very important to remember that abusers generally don't present themselves as abusers. They can be or claim to be from any walk of life. Thinking they can't is dangerous.

[@shannonceleste5557]

@ElanaVital83 do you care to elaborate why you think that way? More often than not irl it's these staunchly "religious", deeply conservative folks who end up being outed as completely backwards and abusive

[@happygolucky5855]

Anyone is capable of this parental abuse. But they are using their “religous” beleifs as a guide to excuse themselves from seeing it as actual abuse. Taking advantage of and taking above and beyond their idea of parenting based on their own religious construct. Most people who abuse children dont have a structured reason to abuse their children. Where as this family does. And that construct has been taken so far off the plate as a means for abuse and means for acquittal for their own conscience. Because if they think thats their religous guidline for parenting, (which is its not by the bibles standards) then its A-ok. In their twisted heads.

I have to skim videos of this very sick lady, because I can't get through a whole one without vomiting. As someone trained in human services, this is so SO traumatic for those kids - especially since their abuse was broadcast to millions, including their peers, and it must have seemed to those kids that either no one was helping or no one cared. I really wonder what happened to Ruby Franke to influence her to think any of this is remotely acceptable. I sincerely hope that those kids get all of the love, support, and therapy that they'll need to get through this.

Neighbours call police, concerned about kids wellbeing. Police go to house, see kids, but they wont answer the door or talk to police. Police dont think thats at all suspicious and just leave.
