She also posted videos of her verbally and emotionally abusing them. Yet it took the youngest kid having to *escape* and ask for food from a neighbor before anyone actually did anything. This is horrorfying when you think about it. Imagine begging for help, telling millions of people what's happening to you/your siblings and no one does a damn thing to help.

Abusers always isolate and control their victims, exactly how this women isolated their kids physically and mentally through living in the middle of no where and depriving them of internet access. They also publicly and privately humiliate and degrade their victims like when they read their son’s text out loud and made her daughter hold her dirty retainer. This woman is sadistic and she took pleasure and power in emotionally and psychologically abusing her kids, she is a narcissist, just like my parents, who had me just to feel powerful through abusing and controlling me and have someone to laugh at every time they make cry. And most abusive parents never get punished by the law or anyone else, and as a survivor of a very abusive childhood, I am relieved that this one is getting what she deserved and see her kids be saved like I never was.

It's terrifying how similar this case is to my aunt's.... About a year ago all her abuse came to light and had all but 1 kid taken away. She starved these children too and would reward them with food when they tattled on each other... She also was "homeschooling" them and they had no way to make friends. The eldest was even whipped and chained up for punishment.... We have custody of him now THANK GOD!!!! he was so malnourished when we got him... Cut to today, he grew 8 full inches (in a year) and is a healthy weight. I hope these children Ruby and her husband abused get placed in family care and they grow up to be wonderful human beings like my cousins have.

What about the kid she has how are they doing?

[@Sendinggoodvibes]

@@SerenityMayorBenjamin he is doing good! Played football and now in wrestling and he LOVES it! He is however in therapy every week to work through all the programming and the issues that come up daily. Of course because of the brainwashing, there's a lot of bad thoughts. "beating ass" violence is the big one right now and that's one reason he is in sports to get that feeling out without hurting people. But he is doing so much better than before and he has the urge to do better. The other siblings are with their biological father and they're doing alright. They have lots to work through but they aren't in therapy so they don't have the tools to work through those emotions and tendencies. They fight a lot but they're still extremely sweet kids at their core. We have no clue how the kid remaining in her care is. We just know that she is 3 and deathly overweight.

They’re so insecure about themself that they have to take it out on others. For me when my dad lost his wallet or glasses he would yell at me and run after me because he believed me, my mom, or brother moved it.

[@michelleleon185]

So glad the kids are away from those parents

[@Mary-ij9os]

Not to trauma dump but I've been through the 'stop doing this or I will do this to your stuff' and that honestly messes a person up, I'm nearly 20 and I still remember those moments vibrantly. They should do a mental exam on parents and siblings to see if they can have children/siblings like bffr

I had a teacher that did that. She would take anything I did that day in class, like drawings or paper crowns and tear them up in my face in front of the whole class

the weird part is that the house shown at 5:11 looks so stranded and isolated...wonder if the mom planned that also damnn layze i see them muscles

I think I’m more upset at the fact that this sociopath was so popular on KZbin. You get paid from KZbin through how many views your videos get, along with donations, ad revenue, etc. The fact that people were watching her abuse her kids on a regular basis and kept watching and supporting her is almost more disturbing that the abuse.

[@someone9239azlal]

im proud of how far u came, keep going, we're all supporting u!!

[@astarriknight]

I'm with you layze how the hell did anyone not be concerned from watching those clips?!?! i just want to give those kids a hug and a huge ice cream sundae

[@Swansong321]

Layze can make me laugh about literally ANYTHING!❤😂..JUST the wigs alone😂

[@owliria_sage]

I was at a shop yesterday and saw an older woman hit her (i guess granddaughter) across the face because the girl dropped something under the shelf and was on the floor trying to get it. I told her don't hit children in public ( u should never but I just knew she'd make it about me telling her how to raise a kid) and she told me to keep walking man I wish I threatened her with the police, I'll never live this down now. I hope abusive parents/relatives get what's coming to them in the afterlife.

[@gircakes2]

At the very least, you embarrassed that woman by calling out her abusive behavior in public.

[@Last.Stand.1111]

Oh they will, sadly cps can be worse sometimes, so many kids go "missing" under them, smh this world, good to be a good person to help out weigh that evil and selfishness. Pray for them, prayer does have power

[@squid5882]

Having a father who is abusive, I agree with your statement

[@Random_girl109]

She’s so abusive to a child what kind of parent is this some kids deserve better

[@tatesmom5831]

I grew up in a very very similar home and I feel for these children and what they are going to go through to try to navigate the world after this. Fundamentalism is ONLY ever harmful.

[@brandyh8292]

These parents are literally their children's first bullies and it's sad. They don't want them having access to the Internet because then they would have been able to tell someone what is happening at home and eventually someone would realize something is off. The children should be able to slit her earnings off of them and lock her up for at least 10-20 years

[@smagerlakk]

Her crying was so pathetic I can’t

[@_innerpeacekeeper]

Have never heard of her before this, good God she's unhinged. I'm a mom , i feel for her poor kids.

[@Akursedtime]

Ruby being like "I'm not giving you any technology but I'm going to document MY love for you with this cellphone " 😌

[@Half-baked-couchpotato2498]

The woman in the red west who you said you "dont know if its her friend or her mother" is actually jodi hildebrandt, aka the other woman who was arrested for absusing and torturing rubys kids. She for sure doesn't know that ruby is nuts becaue she is the leader of the "connexions' cult. Jordan and McKay is doing amazing coverage of this situation.

[@PurpleDragon-e1j]

Your brilliant! ❤ So honest and funny, I love it!. Thankyou, I found this strangely healing to watch because of what I experienced with my mother.

[@kthom4595]

Your channel just came across my feed and I’m glad it did. I love your commentary! 👍🏽 I don’t understand why the husband isn’t getting charged. His abuse may not of been physical but he participated in the emotional abuse!

[@hotmilo]

Bruh. She said eating is a privilege.

[@sandrahernandez9214]

You never fail at making me laugh thanks layze

[@Something_Off.]

“Ruby Franke the mom who got arrested for starving her kids.” A true title.

[@JodiWaterson]

Punishment should be fare with a touch of love added to it. It should never include withholding basic needs. My father punished to hurt and demean. As an adult I’m emotionally scarred by it still. They will still love their mother and want to be with her, just wanting an unattainable approval from her probably forever. She’s mentally, emotionally and physically abusive disguising it as love

[@Marini03]

Off topic but i really love the effort you're putting in editing and creating your videos!

[@Sunny-ke1ie]

12:33 I think that woman is actually like some sort of therapist or something and she also abuses her child im not sure i saw it on tiktok

[@irenekupczak1314]

I blame the extended family also. They did not have the guts to report her. And now they are relieved? Seriously? I have no children, and I'm sickened by this. Lock her up and throw away the key.

[@creativekitties1247]

I was so hoping you'd cover this... awesome content as ever! Hopefully she'll go to prison and rot for what she did to her children 😠

[@Dessamator]

The fact that she was threatening to starve her kids... because they were... *Checks notes* Playing on the effing rug!!!

[@Human-lg8hb]

7:55 I agree with everything but the flip phone thing isn’t that bad. My parents usually take away our iphones and replace them with flip phones during exam periods so we don’t get distracted. Plus they are really cool.

[@Catsarecool-s5v]

Not that this situation isn’t serious but Colleen ballinger is still walking free 💀

[@mysteryheart53]

Put her and Rubie in the same jail cell they deserve each other

[@C.Church]

9:54 Layze should clip this as a movie short and send it to Oscars for consideration. That waa intense! 👏🏆

[@pupuntold]

In my family no matter how much you mess up, you always get your meals. I mean, grandma can yell and curse at us but she always makes sure we eat. Food is not a privilege, it's a necessity.

[@paint-splash6638]

When I was a little kid my mom would threaten to record videos of me crying and post them online, low key wish she had so that I wouldn’t have to deal with her now

[@idonthaveone50]

My mom used to do shit like this but i grew up before social media, it was always I'm going to take pictures and videos and show all your friends (and she would have she's a narc and didn't think she was doing anything wrong). Or I'm going to post them on the internet/Facebook etc and I was always embarrassed because i thought she really would, I didn't think I was being being abused at the time and thought I deserved it and it was my fault and if she posted stuff online or showed my friends I would get more abuse and embarrassed and people would see her as the victim

[@lilhedgehog8576]

6:54 oh, yes, I’m such a loving parent none of you know what love looks like. Everything I’m doing is right and all of you are wrong. I am a loving parent and my kids will grow up to love me and take care of me when I’m old and frail.

[@amandasalley717]

Watching the clips of those poor kids almost made me cry. I hope they get the help they desperately need and deserve 💔

[@christinedanyael]

you the only youtuber i can break the “only watches youtube while eating” cycle with. you’re too funny!🥳

[@NovemberCrystal]

I think one reason they were given flip phones instead of smart phones wasn't necessarily because it had easier access to the internet, but to prevent the kids from recording her behavior from their perspective and sending it to the authorities for help.

[@krischambers9021]

If my kid said please, lord, help me survive, I would bust out bawling, and she giggled. Dear Lord, please help those poor children; they've suffered enough. Let them be adopted by the most loving and caring of families🙏

Isn’t this the woman would wouldn’t let one of her sons have a bed, or something? I heard about her a while ago. I’m shocked she was allowed to go on this long.

dude my names lilly so when you yelled out "what does the sign say lilly" that scared the shit outta me (10:01) no but on a serious note, when i saw her threatening to cut the stuffed animals head off i felt the little girls horror through the screen. she deserves to be in jail.
