On the other hand, he was also yet another victim of Jodie's. He repeated her phrases and obviously felt like he was the bad guy and was banished from the family.

He was told that he was poisoning the family because he looked at por n. Then he believed it! Do you know how many couples would get divorced if what he believes about por n to be true. He sounds like a cult follower brain washed by his cult leaders. His wife wanted a verbal separation, not a legal one because then there would be consequences and court custody orders She wouldn’t have any control of. It’s just interesting that it’s after his wife kicks him out that the sadistic abuse occurs. Meaning that he wouldn’t have let it happen had he been living in the house with them. So she needed him to leave in order to be the monster she really is.

Very odd. I think most ppl would b focused on the children's health and verbalizing passionate confusion over how their spouse could let that happen.

[@WeeScot]

Don’t let this POS fool anyone! I’ve been SCREAMING about this family for like 6 or 7 years and Kevin is not innocent. Yes, the abuse obviously got worse once Ruby got in with Jodi, but make no mistake… Both Ruby AND Kevin used starvation as “punishment” for many years and even posted it to KZbin. He was there when they were hungry, he was there when beds were taken from them for months, he was there when Chad was sent to a labor camp for “rebellious kids”. He echoed the same words about the children living “in distortion”, and needing to save their souls from “evil”. He needs to be charged too! He’s showing his true colors even since the arrests by threatening legal action against his own children! I hope and pray the investigation is still ongoing and he will be arrested soon. I also hope they’re investigating Ruby’s siblings and parents as well because her sisters used to join her in “parenting” videos on Facebook, saying the same damn things. Abhorrent people, all of them.

[@honeybunch5765]

I haven't watch that much of them but the few episodes I saw it was very clear how weird and off they were as parents. I started watching them shortly before they sent Chad off to that torture camp. I did spot watching through their channel and was shocked about the mother's behaviour. It was obvious the kids were 90% of the time uncomfortable. The advertisements they had to participate in like poor Russel had to promote pull up diapers pretending he still wets his bed. The teen girls had to share their experiences of their first periods to promote sanitary wear. They were forced to play instruments. She would force them to perform infront of others. You could see they hated it and they all gave up their lessons because of Ruby. I saw all that unfold in the short time I watched them and that was enough to put me off and feel sorry for her children. I was sadden but not surprised when all this unfolded. Her sister Bonnie is just as strange and money hungry. Can't stand watching or listening to her. All these Mormon vloggers are weird. I refuse to watch family vloggers where children are involved.

[@alisalavine1052]

Uh, yeah, no. Just because YOU can't think of other reasons why he may not have custody of kids, doesn't mean there aren't any. Let's try logic for a moment. He is also a victim. He's scared. He's confused. He's been gaslit since Jodi came into his family's lives. He's broken and fragile and not able to take his kids until he's stable. My guess is that he's going through a lengthy process set forth by the Court to heal and relearn how to be a parent. Jodi had just as much a hold on him as she did Ruby. Jodi is a narcissist, a sadist, and malignant. She is a cult leader. This family, like others that were directed towards Jodi's practice, has to be deprogrammed then reprogrammed. Thanks, LDS church. Great job. Add it to a very long list of lives you've destroyed. This is what happens when we let a faith community tell us how to live. We stop thinking critically. We don't teach our kids to think critically. Like lambs to a slaughter...

He angers me so much. It was Ruby who told him to pick up the kids, but he refused to tell police it was her. He hears about the near deaths of his 2 young children, and all he cares about is if Ruby is going to be in trouble and how much he loves her. No wonder child protection services wouldn't give him his kids back. I bet they still haven't. He TOTALLY betrayed those kids. He's so weak and pathetic. He didn't even ask about the kids after he found out what happened to them. It's all about his wife and his shattered dreams. Very sad.

OMG. I cannot believe he allowed her to keep those children from him for a year. What is wrong with these ppl?!!?

[@werlder]

It’s called being a male in family court. It doesn’t work out well.

[@scottydoggymama]

Even his responses are terribly weird, considering he had not seen them for a year and now he is coming to pick them up. The fact that he also respected and trusted a woman who forced a divide in his family

[@2012MyVideos2012]

He just wanted out of that woman. He forgot his children. He is a weak man.

Brainwashing works on many people.

[@glennmiller3906]

because they are mormans they play by they''re own rules

[@hpNerd0003]

I sincerely hope no judge gives him custody. He clearly does not care for his own children.

[@Oliver-jg8og]

"I don't know anything about what has been going on in that house". He just busted himself.

[@tinajack444]

It is so creepy to see how cold he is. He doesn‘t seem mentally „normal“, something is wrong with this guy

[@agak61]

Yep or he is playing one. Narcissistic behavior. Scary

[@SchoolHouseRudd]

He was so much livelier on earlier videos of 8 passengers. This guy is cold.

[@caseyconatser7926]

Agreed But I got to thinking these people got so use to being ON all the time making videos and preparing for them that he could still believe he is ON if you know what I mean .

[@thepearlswirl]

Exactly my thoughts.. seriously so creepy and weird how he responded to the news.

[@MyAngels5]

It's the Mormon way...IMO

[@catalinacurio]

My concern is that Ruby was ignored despite many complaints, don’t make the same mistake with this so called father who was part of the abuse.

[@shayoway7414]

I guess families who Jodi abused and separatied.. oh never mind…

[@nancydonahue4256]

Probably also explains why he hasn’t gotten the kids back yet.

[@becksx6568]

Yeah, he's used to acting for KZbin. This is just another video for him. Pos, he is definitely complicit

[@arykaarmitage9178]

I have a feeling he was into far worse abuse to these children and that is the hold she has over him for his behavior right in this interview.

[@annewanken6288]

Did he ever visit Ruby in jail?

[@patricesoffer8341]

He seems like he's acting like he's clueless, but knows what was really going on
