Members of the Utah mother’s family are now opening up about the case. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber spoke with KUTV reporter Brian Schnee about her family members’ reactions.

it turns out that the whole family has misbehaved, both the sister and this Ruby
this woman is the devil, I would like to know her family, where she grew up?
Ruby, Kevin, the sisters…the whole family is disgusting. 🤮🤮🤮 All they say is me me me me me. And I believe everyone knew what was going on. They just didn't care to step in and do anything.
It's seems that all those cults from utah mess up people's minds. What a f…up place.
This is what Mormonism and religion is all about. These people are nutcases. I don’t know that long sentences make a difference I think the humiliation of going threw the US justice has done enough.
Ruby trying to change image hair done court and thinks out 8 months and Kevin got three passports his hers chads.. chads now bleeding hearts for money online pretending he not with Kevin and Ruby I think watch them run 😂😊
Kevin’s calls need to be heard he’s got her $80 000 she’s made out it’s lost that’s a lie and her sisters are liars ask their kids how they are treated Bonnie a nut job too
Netflix showing nothing we already know
It's crazy she only got 4 years
The convicted thanking everyone for finally catching them is absolutely psychotic. Same with Jodie saying she loves those children, pure psycho.
Sadly there are plenty of these snake oil life coaches and even more people who are willing to follow them.
The only reason Jodi pled guilty is because more would come out in the public domain with the children speaking the horrific crimes themselves. Ruby is NOT sorry either. She is sorry she got caught. She KNEW she had to come across as very sorry for what she has done. It was an act. She is an actress. A poor one at that.
A person with deep remorse cannot make such a long speeches. One cannot believe that such a U turn is possible just because they were brought before law and sentenced.
You men are so easy. Ruby is pretty, cuts her hair oh so cute, and meets your eyes when she talks to you and all of a sudden she's "heartfelt". Notice that the prosecutor, defense counsel and the judge are all men (Utah!); Ruby mentioned her Bishop (absolutely a religious reach out to the Judge), and thanked everyone by name . . .names given to her by her attorney. You guys are sooooo easy.
Does anyone know if the children were abused PRIOR to this mental fitness/life coach began influencing them?
I don‘t won‘t discuss the horrible things that all of these people did, there is no excuse for anything they did, all of them. But:
Is there any information about the circumstances of the upbringing of Ruby and her siblings? I mean, that whole family is far away from healthy, so I wonder what’s the childhood from the siblings was? A healthy environment and parenting doesn’t create a bunch of child abusers!
The Mormon Church frequently referred people to Jodi Hildebrant. Why are people in Utah so afraid to question church leaders?
The father should also be convicted. He supported his wife through all of this. What kind of dad just goes alone with that kind of abuse. He didn’t do anything to protect those kids and that makes him a participant of abuse and an abuser.
B.S. Performance is Ruby's M.O. No emotion, not heartfelt.. That's a blackened dead soulless human stain. The husband too. Along with Jodi..
Prayers for the young children and adult children.
I have worked in medicine and mental health for 30 years. There is no such thing as a mental health coach. Jody should have lost her ability to work with people years ago. She has powerful friends in the LDS church. That’s where people need to start looking….at what the LDS church supports and promotes.
No Jody, you didn’t take this to trial because you knew you had no chance. This case is so sad. Those poor kids.
The sentence she got was a big joke she's abuse on her own children. She did call her children evil, oh now she changed her mind because she give evidence against jodi.
This sentence was nothing but a joke she should should fove 15 years for each charge. And her parental rights be removed
Ruby's going to be isolated alright.
Her fake soft voice is unmatched when you hear her harsh angry outbursts on her podcasts and bs.
There is no way Ruby wasn't subjected to some abuse herself to get the way she is. You repeat the parenting lessons you learn from your own upbringing. That is just a family of narcissists putting up a pretty front and it's all a lie.
Kevin…weakest man
Distorted version of reality. 😮
Jodie is no mastermind, just a kindred spirit to Ruby.This blame it on one is disgusting,and is bogust,Ruby showed much of her abusive nature far before Jody came into the picture, again she was a kindred! spirit
Forget those horrible women. What is happening with the children? Are they getting the help and love that they need. How is their physical and mental health?
All of them exploit their family on YouTube.
Has Kevin Franke confirmed that he believes that Jodi Hildebrandt is a tool for dark supernatural controls…?
Religion gives license to a sorts of twisted evil.
Just as The Undisputed Truth sang in the seventies, "Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within…"
So utterly hideous, so much is wrong, is there any adult that's not complicit in the situation. Hurts your brains, that it's so screwed up.
Were Ruby and Jodie a couple? Kind of wonder if there was more going on than a life coach.
And were ruby's parents like this with discipline?
Ruby was abusive before on her utube channel.
Is this a mormon family?
Kevin needs a vasectomy asap
That Jodi is delusional isn't she? My goodness.
Where was Ruby’s husband? I’ve got two kids if my ex wife was abusing my children I would be freaking out and getting involved! I would call the cops. I think Ruby wore the pants in the relationship. He might have been afraid of her.
Mormons freak me out 😬
Time to leave them alone ..it’s done time will show
Religious maniacs,all.
First question that popped into my mind was , Where the heck was daddy of such young children when all this was going on? Why is his absentee role getting so little scrutiny ?
Why birth kids just to torture them?
