Any change in Vision has to be treated as an emergency. It's not get them in in a few hours it's get them in immediately. Just on this one thing alone the doctor could have called Child Protective Services. And at some point along the line one of the doctors had to question whether he should or not but probably saw the "good Mormon wife" in front of him and didn't call.

[@StabigailScreech]

starting in 4th grade, my mom would only make me lunch once every week or two, and when i saw other kids getting notes from their moms and getting embarrassed, i asked my mom to do the same. on the rare occasion that my mom would make me lunch, she would give me notes in my lunchbox and i would keep them. they brought me an indescribable amount of joy well into middle school. sad. at the ripe old age of NINE years old i said "it's your job to feed me" and my mother responded with "it's my job to teach you how to be independent"

[@huglife626]

It's a terrible thing and the woman in this video is terrible, but going to CPS over that alone is going WAY too far. I hope you don't mean that example literally. I've personally seen lots of families get ripped apart because CPS got involved over something minor. They're not as reasonable as people seem to hope, and not every family with issues is better off being separated instead of fixed, but that's what CPS basically always does. Your standards for what would cause you to call CPS deeply concern me.

My parents were highly abusive, my mother actually told me "this is my home and we allow you to dwell here.' I spend 31 years fully under control, and didn't know that human rights existed till I took a security agent course. When I got out I said I'd never go back. When my stepfather passed mom ordered me to leave my job, sell my condo and go back to serving her. I would only be allowed to bring my clothes, to where I was told to give away my 2 10 month old kittens. I didn't, I went no contact with my entire family... its been 12 years and the best decision .

Thank you so much for this video! My mom took my phone away when I was 15 for 2 whole weeks. This was for a good reason though. I was on it WAY too much, my grades started slipping, and I was no longer doing my chores. So she took it. She told me "I will not give your phone back until you straighten up." And so I did. And after I proved I myself responsible, she gave it back to me with open arms. Parenting and discipline is a very important part in parenting. But abuse is a different story. My mom, and most every parent, says "my house, my rules." Including mine. But mine actually shared every single room with me and my sister. There wasn't "my room" or "mom's room." Sure, we had our own bedrooms, but she granted us a house that was free to be shared. She was the most selfless person I have ever known, and probably will ever know. I have never been so thankful to have a mom like mine

[@Officialjayluvs]

I would like to say that my mom NEVER let me sleep on the cold floor. Not once. One time when I wet my bed at 5 years old in the middle of the night, she was too exhausted to change the sheets right away. But you know what? She stripped my bed and put the sheets in the washer. She carried me to her bedroom and let me sleep with her, and gave me fresh cleaned sheets first thing the next morning..

I heard about a TikTok with this mother telling how she came home and called for her daughter, but her daughter didn’t answer or come see her. She got pouty thinking her daughter was being moody until she got a phone call. It turned out her daughter wasn’t answering because she wasn’t home; the mother had forgotten she needed to pick her up from school. She painted it like, “Oh, isn’t this a hilarious story?” No, it really isn’t. I’m also guessing the daughter didn’t think it was funny when she heard that the mother didn’t know she wasn’t there, and that her response to her not coming to greet her like a Yorkshire terrier was to think she was being a little diva or something. I find myself getting more and more ticked off with people who mess something up due to lack of consideration for others, then try to laugh it off as, “Oh, isn’t that one of those funny things?” instead of admitting they messed up.

Based on what I have been able to gather the abuse started or at least got much worse due to Ruby’s therapist/life coach friend, Jodi Hildebrandt. Jodi was the other person arrested in this case. Rubys son escaped Jodi’s house and ran to a neighbors, begging them to call 911. He was malnourished, starving, thirsty and had tape wrapped around his legs and arms. He was being held captive but managed to flee. This case echos several aspects of the Satanic Panic. Jodi lost her license to practice therapy a decade ago. She was working as a life coach and she has a history of grotesque malpractice. She is deeply unwell and conspiratorial. She worked to isolate Ruby from her family (siblings, etc), friends and then eventually her husband. She convinced Ruby that the kids were possessed or mind controlled by Satanists. Things continued to spiral out of control after Ruby met Jodi. Ruby’s husband went along with it for far too long but eventually ended up splitting with Ruby as it continued to get worse.

I almost lost my job because my daughter got the school to ring me to tell me she was upset because she got the sports carnival day mixed up and wore her sports uniform to school that day instead of her normal school uniform, she was crying and embarrassed to be wearing the wrong uniform. My boss told me I couldn’t leave to take my daughter her normal uniform to her, my boss told me she’d get over it. I know my daughter and I knew how upset she would have been being dressed differently from her school friends. I told my boss “tough, my daughter comes first, I’m going to take it to her and will work through my lunch break” and left. My daughter was in the officer waiting for me bawling her eyes out and the look of relief on her face was worth it. Thankfully I didn’t loose my job but my boss was angry at me, I told my boss that my children will always come first. That was 16 years ago, I am still with the Company (it will be 18 years this year) and I don’t regret my decision even if I had (which I thankfully didn’t) lost my job. As a mum I also made my children’s lunches every single day even in high school and every morning made sure they had their lunch boxes before we left the house, that’s my job as a parent!! EDIT: Also, unlike Ruby, I didn’t have the luxury of being a stay at home mum either, unfortunately my marriage had broken up so I was raising my children on my own and working full time, Ruby’s ONLY job was to raise her children and she couldn’t even do that, she is pure evil and so disgusting, I raised my children and worked as well and my children never, ever once missed a meal, not once, I also prepared all of their meals too unlike Ruby who was making her 5 year old responsible for making her own lunch - WTF!!!!

And a few weeks ago, I asked my parents to give me a wake-up phone call so I could make sure I didn't miss my 8am final exam. And you know what? They DID. Even though I had an alarm set and can get myself out of bed, I still wanted the extra security in case for some reason I slept through my alarm, so I wouldn't automatically fail the class. My parents STILL made sure I was awake even though I am a full fledged grown-up, because I asked them to and they want me to be successful just as much as I want to be successful myself. Meanwhile, Ruby over here can't be bothered to make sure her FIVE YEAR OLD CHILD is awake to get to PRESCHOOL, because she apparently is expected to do it herself. Well, Ruby, I have some news for you. You decided to have six children. You have (or, HAD, seeing as it is now too late now that she is in jail) a responsibility to parent them.

Gee, it's almost as though a healthy outlet where he could develop positive relationships that require teamwork to function, where he was encouraged and uplifted by others, inspired him to stick with it far better than his punitive, killjoy, coercive-controlling home environment did. Ruby was far too narcissistic to inspire him to think/feel/act similarly at home by providing similar positive reinforcement.

Her kids seem to know what's going on to an extent.

[@urfavgirl_lol]

A couple years ago, I got really sick. I threw up every 10-15 minutes for 7 hours straight at night. My mom put a couple blankets on the floor, and.a couple over me, with a pillow. Then she layed down next to me on the the cold bathroom floor with no blankets for herself, just so I wouldn't be cold. I am forever grateful for her. We did end up going to the hospital at 2 am, and she literally ran around the house for MY THINGS. My ipad, phone, blanket pillow, and only brought her phone for herself. She is not only my mother, but the most selfless person I have ever met. The reason I wasn't in my room is because we were in a vacation house and the room didn't have a spot next to my bed so I could throw up there, and my sister was in there.

[@TheMuffinGirl78]

When she told her little boy that he didn’t need food, the look on his face made me just want to first pick him up and hug him and then make him the biggest pancake with a whip cream smile so I could see the smile on his face! How can you look at their precious little faces, hear their adorable little voices, watch all the funny little things they do at that age and be NOTHING but horrible to them! When she told Russell to drop and give her 10 push ups THEN corrected his form ( I’m sure on an empty stomach) all I could see was my son at that age. I could and would NEVER do that to him!!! Also WHY does she think her son excelled at football and did EVERYTHING for his team??? Because it was the ONLY place he felt worth, compassion, cared for, felt like a human being and didn’t get treated like TRASH!! They are DISGUSTING!!! Her and the father! But the jokes on them now! The world is so so happy!!

[@nancyshaw-rz6hi]

It’s so great that her son still thinks his Disney prank was funny after being punished for 7 months!! Worth it!!

[@zhenia8847]

It was actually a pretty good prank, kids being kids

[@camillarich]

I think the more appropriate punishment would be for him to use his allowance to treat his brother to something else that's fun, to make up for the disappointment. Then it would still be a funny story and a chance to bond as brothers too. But these kids probably didn't get allowance since everything is mom's.

[@tayloranderson7547]

No it is not worth it

[@catherinegoodson]

She’s obviously a Cluster B personality, and doesn’t understand empathy. A good mother would have had a conversation with the two brothers and gotten the younger to express his feelings in a way that made the older realize the cruelty (yes, it was harmless but imagine how heartbreaking that child must have felt) of his prank. It would have been a learning experience for both of them. Instead, he learned nothing. This children are trauma bonded, common in abusive families, and they found the humor in the prank 7 months later, even after punishment. These were the moments she felt “safe” to share with an audience… just imagine how scary that house was off camera.

[@NotARealHomestead]

As a mother of 3 kids, ages 11, 12, and 14, I cannot FATHOM being this cruel, selfish, and narcissistic and still having the audacity to call myself a mother. I get that kids need rules and discipline and boundaries. But the flip side to that is they need love and encouragement and support. My heart absolutely breaks for these kids and the irreparable damage she has done to them. I would be VERY interested to know how she herself grew up and if her parents were like this in any way?

[@catherinewilson9894]

It’s sickening! I couldn’t sleep knowing one of my children was on a floor or a bean bag chair! She is evil and enjoys their suffering. I hope she is miserable rn! I was surprised because her parents have a KZbin channel and they seem to be lovely!! There’s a video where here mom watched the kids while Ruby and Kevin went to Tahiti and she seems so laid back and just like a normal grandma. I was try to see something to explain her actions but I just didn’t. She reminded me of my Mother.

@@ash78705 honestly nothing she went through growing up will ever justify what she has done. If she grew up being abused like that but then later on wanted kids, she should have known better than to inflict the same pain on her own. Trauma doesn’t excuse behavior. It only explains it.

How is it even possible getting away all of these things? I'm seemingly living under a rock, because I don't know anything about this family but HONESTLY.. Their audience saw all of the abuses and did nothing??!

[@juniperdoodles3143]

@@timea5363 I remember seeing, on Facebook, the video she made about her one of her daughters (who was 6 at the time) forgetting to pack lunch for school. And, of course, since Facebook is mostly made up of bitter old people, most of the comments underneath were in support of Ruby and saying things like "maybe she'll learn not to forget her lunch" or "this is discipline, not abuse". Yup, they were saying all these things in regards to a freaking 6-year-old.

[@CassidyAnimator]

Honestly the father is just as guilty for encouraging Ruby’s awful behavior and staying married to her. But on the other hand, I wonder if he only did her bidding cause she like threatened him or something? I mean think about it: she has mentally and emotionally blackmailed her children for so many years. So for all we know she could have threatened to take the kids away for herself and leave him kicked to the curb? Idk… people like that are professional manipulators so anything’s possible right?

At least Crawford had the mitigating factor of being an alcoholic. She also chose only christina to be extremely physical toward. However, that is not unusual for a parent to pick one child, while the others remain unharmed. Many times the parent will make the other kids take part in the targeted child's physical punishments.

This “mom” takes away the autonomy of the kids. That seems to be the root of a lot of the problems. I’ve slept on a beanbag, and I’ve slept on the floor as a kid. The reason that that was ok was that I wanted to do it, and always had access to my bed.
