Very close to a homicide. They were headed to a new location where one or more would have died, most likely.
Only 4 franke kids were placed in state custody. The other 2 are adults
I will have zero faith in the justice system if these two get out. I will never trust it again. Too many. Too many evil people let out.
I guess she won't be getting the new titanium iPhone.
The emotional damage she's caused these children is life long so her punishment should be life long period.i have absolutely no sympathy for child abusers especially when it's the very people who's supposed to protect them…
LMAO! That’s what she gets
If the Dad is so innocent why did he hire an attorney???? Doesn't hiring an attorney prove a consciousness of guilty?????
Organized Religion is cancer.
You would think the older children would have looked out for their younger siblings. How did the mom and other lady explain what was happening to them in the basement that was satisfactory for them?
😂. Youfube just does not check anything unless thier name is affective goes bad. 😊.
Ruby is a hardcore lesbian and seems as though she has a hatred for men that she has manifested with her sons. Looks like the boys took the brunt of her torture.
I feel so sorry foe the neighbor 😥. Im a nanny and I had to report abusr once, its something you never forget. I hope he talks to someone
These parents made a lot of money using their kids. They should have their accounts frozen and their savings put in an accunt for the kids college funds
We’ve all been children before, we need to remember how it felt to be one.
U are going somewhere u gone . Haha she’s nuts
The fact that I used to watch them when I was little is devastating but not surprising
Good child abusers should never see the light of day
She deserves to be imprisoned and her accomplice!!!
I never ever thought about not giving food as punishment.
No TV time, yes.
Not giving food? Horrible
i’m sorry did she just make an entire agrument about how the NETWORK cancelled the “show”??? she realizes these were youtubers who deleted their own channel (probably because the clips could be used against them) right? like this wasn’t a tlc show
(edit: I just wanna clarify that what ruby did was disgusting, it’s just weird to miss such an obvious thing and base an argument off that. cps should definitely still be held liable but there were no network execs, it was ruby and kevin, and then later ruby and jodi, so obviously none of them are going to report themselves.)
PLEASE STOP SHOWING THE KIDS FACES THEY DESERVE PRIVACY THROUGH THIS TRAUMA. THE CHANNEL WAS TAKEN DOWN THEIR FACES SHOULDN'T BE SHOWN
What in the fresh fu↪️k?!? Disgusting people who should NOT be called parents.
those poor babies
I keep hearing about the mother. Which is valid. But what about the father? He was present in the home and in their lives, correct? He needs to be held accountable as well. Where is the info on him right now given the children were not even left in his care. They were given to the state.
Good! They are both sick and for That B to accuse her son of what she did makes me so mad! I hope they are getting what they deserve in jail. I hope the kids will be able to be together soon and get the right therapy.
This kind of stuff breaks my heart
This woman definitely got anger issues.
The husband should be charged too . And CPS for ignoring so long.
lock them up!
Happy to hear the word FELONY!!
Child svc's are totally useless. Known for either showing up after a child is dead. Or harassing innocent, hard working parents. I was a single dad of 2 young sons and had rounds with them and their BS. 1st time, for no reason. Just showed up demanding to see custody papers, birth cert., the mom's info, etc.
But…believe all women, right? Women can't possibly be evil or lying.
Utah. I’m guessing Mormons. Figures
Once again, everyone failed these kids.
What's in the water in Utah and Idaho?
