He wasn’t even in a different state from them and NEVER saw or spoke to any of them? I bet you if anyone looked into his life during that year for real he was out living his best life, living it up, care and kid free. If he even had a small set of balls on him he would have filed court papers to have visitation with his children during that time and explain he and ruby were “separated”.

[@ryleeherrera596]

I have the same suspicion, and definitely think he is NOT a perfect parent but I also wonder if the way Jodi/her programs manipulated their clients into believing themselves as monsters who are habitually passing on the horrors of their past really did drive him away with the idea that it’s to protect them… Ruby is also clearly a narcissist and I don’t doubt the power of her hand in shaming and blaming problems in their relationship and children on him. I don’t doubt he’s made mistakes, especially allowing the things we’ve even just seen on the channel but I don’t necessarily think he is strictly careless or detached… especially after this whole situation I really hope he comes to see where he made mistakes and is able to help his children grow and one day heal from what happened to them, their relationships, and how having the spotlight on them in these terrible times has harmed them. The anger is real for me though… the whole world got to see inside their lives and it took so long and such a devastating situation for the children to be rescued. It’s so disgusting knowing that there are people out there who find power and satisfaction in hurting/punishing children.

Problem with that is that many signed up for their program because they were a fan of Ruby, got sucked in but over time many of them either figured out the truth of what was going on or became victims themselves so to say that all those working for connections need to be investigated leaves out that fact because Jodi was very good at destroying families. She would be good at seeing someone in the family that she could use like Ruby for her own ends then work to separate the wife from the husband by using their religious beliefs against them…she very much used shame and degrading on the husbands to make them feel that they were a danger to their families to the point that many have even contemplated ending their own lives. Which is why when so many were so upset at Kevin and were saying he should also face charges didn’t take into account that fact either not realizing that Jodi knows what she is doing and very much knows how to use religion to work her goals. The same goes for the children and using their religion against them to enforce their beliefs and even the idea of perfection onto them and when they don’t get them use the tactics of shame and degrading to punish them and over time as that doesn’t work move towards the idea that they need to repent their sins and do actual punishment to cast out the devil because Jodi truly believes that she talks with God and by doing all that she is doing she is going to be praised and rewarded for all that she is doing when he returns.

The only thing that works, in the uk, in the us, is calling the police because they do more than social services(cps in the us) they're so useless

This makes me physically ill... 😢😢😢 May these women get what's coming for them sooner rather than later.

Russell is so brave. The courage it took for that little boy to run and get help not knowing if he would succeed or not. Or if caught or not believed the abuse could of escalated, what he did was so incredible, I hope that sweet brave baby boy is okay.

Ruby is not a victim here

[@JLuca-zm4ok]

Of course not she’s a monster!!

[@ruthanna4713]

Neither is the husband.

[@TV-wy1py]

Nobody thinks she's a victim.

[@PeakDennisReynolds]

She's even more evil than the other freak imo. She's torturing and degrading her own babies that she gave birth to.

[@specialroy6087]

Really creepy how these women are both smiling ear to ear , while in the background there is this horror occuring behind the scenes....

[@brainysmurf74]

Like most women today. Hatred of men and children

[@RendaJane]

I don’t why they never say the word “torture” which is the accurate term for what these kids went through.

[@bunny.elixir]

that’s how ppl like this are. they act charismatic and charming to everyone else and behind closed doors it’s horrible

[@MT-oi2ty]

I have no respect whatsoever for any parent who displays their children’s lives on social media!
