The YouTube channel “8 Passengers” was once a powerhouse in the family content space on the platform, boasting millions of views each month with over two million subscribers. Ruby Franke and her husband, Kevin Franke, launched the channel in 2015 with a major focus on their six children and parenting skills in their vlog-style videos. The channel’s success came crashing down when YouTube terminated the account just days after Ruby Franke’s 12-year-old son escaped from her business partner’s home “covered in wounds” after he was allegedly tied up using duct tape and starved to the point of emaciation. The Law&Crime Network’s Jesse Weber breaks down the timeline of Ruby Franke’s rise and fall on the YouTube platform.

If you want to traumatize your kids and make them hate you forever, Ruby pretty much laid out the blueprint in detail…
Until this moment in time. I had never heard of her
Kinda annoyed by the chunk chunk sound effect
I was raised in some toxicity but was never denied food or a bed. This is beyond vile. Throw her under the jail😢
IT IS NOT OKAY TO ABUSE ALL
If my siblings were being horribly abused I would have stopped at nothing to help them!
Uh… you forgot how to parent!
She is horrible!
How could she do this to her poor children? What kind of person is capable of torturing her kids?
I would love to know how this woman Jodie thought she was an expert on children?
Imagine if the neighbor was a worthless piece of filth human like the Franke's. He probably would've have just called them and said, "hey your kid escaped, come get him". Thankfully he was a decent person and called 911 right away. Just seeing that poor boy moved him to tears. Much respect to the neighbor.
one thing i noticed on the girls face that was in the video, it looks like she has bruises on her left cheek and on her forehead tell me if any one saw that in the video and comment down below please and thank you
I watched this woman and her kids when I was so young, I wanted to be apart of the family. I loved them.
Wow
This case was just similar to" house of horrors" or even you could say a Turpin family .A family of 15 were their parents were abusive .They imprisoned their children for years. Most of the children were adults , undernourished , didn't take any formal education.
I bet her physical nature is indeed human but from inside she has true demonic spirit.
How could so many people follow her and not press charges?
WE CAN'T STAND LOOKING AT HER DISGUSTING FACE SHE IS A LOUSY MOTHER
People who do this kind of thing to their own children deserve life in prison.
Russell gets that his mom is a hypocrite and a bully.
"He won't be humble."
She gets colder as her son is saying he pranked his brother. Hate is in her eyes.
WHAT SHE DID TO HER KIDS IS SO DISGUSTING HOPE HER KIDS NEVER WANT TO TALK TO HER EVER AGAIN BOTH OF THESE SORRY WOMEN ARE DISGUSTING
Lmao a lot of this was completely normal
13:15 … does anyone else see the 'moms' adams apple?
These women are not fit to be parented. They are selfish and the farthest are weak. Society is party to blame but ultimately the kids suffer because no one cared.
Throw away the key to both women or should l say monsters
the SPIRIT told her ? Have a drink honey…… crazy people
The father knows everything , he should be in jail too . The boy didn't ask help from his dad , he said call the cops but yet again the law failed us again .
wowow.
And still parents and people in general look up to social media influencers. These people are insane narcissistic sociopaths. Unfortunately many the people leaving negative comments about these psychos are still following 'influencers'. Sad world.
Her hott husband should be in jail too. No way he didn’t know his kids were suffering. F him
Lewis Nancy Robinson Sandra Miller Thomas
congrats to this case for teaching peoole what "emaciated" means
BYU? IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!
By her content it's easy to notice that she always enjoyed being cruel to her own children, even before meeting Jody. In the trial she tried to blame it all on her but she just unleashed her inner brutality.
And the husband is to be blamed of negligence, he let her do whatever she wanted and never cared to stand up for his children.
even the house is LOOKING like a PRISON
Awful woman
A beautifull family. What a tragedy. Instead of exposing the reason why. The system puts the mother in prison . The kds are given over to cps . The kids are subject to forced medication and vaccination. Emaciation is a side effect of the MRNA therapy. How does the public ever find out what really happened. Many families want to avoid a similar fate..but the mother is imprisoned for an extended period . Maybe decades. For profit medical care is ruining our once great nation.
How about the father,did he wwnt in prison?
She gave up millions because of her narcissistic control over her kids. Getting hurt of "entitlement" dammn I didn't expect that to be said, she's sick!
Wow ,the kid is 6 years old and responsible for packing her lunch ??? this is insanity ! And what dark hole did this buffoon manager emerge from with these guide to raising kids. These are kids NOT adults !
Psychopaths
Everyone bashing Kevin for not doing anything needs to realize that some abusers will kill you if you snitch on them
