If her podcast partner "brainwashed" her into committing these heinous acts, whats her excuse for all the abuse she caused her child prior to meeting her? This has been going on for years, long before they met.
The thing with the Ruby Franke is that there is literal video evidence of her, at least, emotional abuse of her children, before she even met Jodi. I'm so glad those children are now away from her
@@BearKat9was thinking the same how did the father not see the wounds on the children if it wasn't done in front of him and why the children didn't feel safe enough to tell him what was happening? He best have a very good explanation
The prosecution WANTS a plea deal usually for child abuse cases because they don't want to make the child/children testify in court. It's pretty terrifying and traumatic for kids, so they try their hardest to go for a plea. Personally, I'm not sure saving kids from more trauma is really worth the lenient sentences, especially for reoffenders
why didn't you mention that jodi and ruby are mormon? mormonism plays an important role here. the leaders actively recommended jode's services, knowing full well what kind of a therapist she was. they stood by her even when she had her license put on probation for 18 months back in 2012.
Thank you!!! Yes I am very frustrated by the glossing over of the religious underpinnings of this case. I hope it can come out in Jodi’s trial if there is one. I’m wondering if she will take a plea.
I think Jodi and Ruby are/were lovers! It may explain why the 2 young children were restrained! It’s known that Jodi, as a counselor, was extremely cruel to her clients!! 😡😡. And the Mormon church should be accountable also, because they recommended Jodi as a counselor!! Jodi’s home was just listed for sale at the price of millions!!
It’s wild that we still don’t grasp the fact that people willing to exploit their kids for monetary gain on social media are likely to abuse them in other ways, too. I’m floored by the fact that so many people watch these kind of people without a second thought as to the fact that they are usually making most of their income off filming or vlogging about their kids. It’s gross. It’s not shocking that parents like that are often abusing their kids, considering they’re already willing to lump the stress of what is basically a job on children.
True but a lot of people who watch these watch because they become emotionally invested in the children. That's part of why even when Ruby's behavior on UA-cam was questionable people still watched,even the people who were upset by her parenting. Almost like you keep watching to keep tabs and make sure the kids are OK. Because people where worried a lot of people kept copies of videos and documented things "just in case." In trying to help though, it also encourages more videos.
Ruby started abusing her children before she met Jodi. It was all made public through her videos. People have reported her videos to law enforcement. Ruby has actually confronted people via videos saying that she is not gonna change. Now all of a sudden it's Jodi's fault? Nope. Not buying it. If anything, Ruby finally found another person who had the same belief in severe punishment as she had. Basically Jodi and Ruby were partners in crime. Kevin is also at fault. He just up and left his kids. Abandoned them and neglected them. He is also blaming Jodi. Dude, those are your kids. He claims he didn't know what was going on but plausible deniability does not fly in this situation. They are Kevin's kids and no real father would abandon his children and leave them in an environment like that. Also, no intelligent human being would believe that their absence from their family would improve a relationship.
Kevin has learned much from politicians and government administrators about the importance of maintaining legal Plausible Deniability at ALL times even when Guilty as $in!
I don’t believe Jodi brainwashed her. Look at her videos prior to knowing Jodi. Those were all child abuse and “ tough love” like the kids not having beds as punishment, not getting lunch, working long hours, delaying medical treatment, sleeping on the bathroom floor. All abuse.
It wasn’t kidS not having bds, it was 1 kid. If you think not having a bed is abuse there’s A LOT of kids in the USA that are being abused unfortunately
It is CRAZY to see the 8 passengers story on here but it honestly is one of the most awful stories I've heard and seen on social media. And it's honestly even more crazy when you realize how long it was all ACTUALLY going on..
The Franke family is part of the deep Mormon culture. ... Mr. Franke is a professor at the religious University - BYU Utah. Mrs Frankes new business partner was the couples marriage counselor. No Kidding! 👎 The marriage counselor/business partner advised they separate, and its been over a year now with no contact w his kids for Mr Franke 😮. He had no clue. Loser
If Rf hasnt gotten away aucceaafully that second time, I have no doubt that he would have died at aome point. The punishments escalating the way it did after the first attemp escape, he had to have believed that too to even try a second time. And he very well may have saved his sisters life. I can't help but think of Timothy Ferguson's death from similar abuse.
This is so horrific. I hope al these children are receiving therapy, or this cycle will continue. How does the father not say anything bad about the their mother after all this?
There's a fine line between getting your child to repect you and abuse! Like you said Ana. It's sickening. I can't imagine my boys going through that. It makes my blood boil!! I just pray their dad will save them. Her and her partner deserves the maximum punishment like they enforced on those poor children.
Their dad is a abuse watcher he held his wife’s hand when she said smiling. You all said we abused our kids but we have found a therapist who is in agreement with us. Then he smiled and spoke some bs about how to raise kids. Both parents are sadists. He is just trying to protect the millions that the family earned on the channel.all in my opinion.
Yeah that so called father is just as guilty as the egg donor. They both abused their children.... and then he just does as he's told and leaves his children behind and has no contact with them. Don't even get me started on her "poor me pity party " sisters. They followed the same "parenting techniques" as she did. They may not be hog tying their kids, but they follow the same belief system as ruby in her UA-cam videos. They're all disgusting. They sit there in the mansion They're building and say "we knew something bad was going on. We tried to help but could only do so much" BS if they cared about all those kids even a little bit. They would have fought tooth and nail to have someone intervene. They are all disgusting, Jodi included. That wack job just helped take it to the next level. They're both guilty as hell and Ruby isn't taking any accountability like she should. She took a plea deal and is pointing all fingers at Jodi. They're both awful monsters, and so is Kevin.
The man tried to strangle his wife, not choke! These terms are commonly confused. Choking happens inside the throat, like choking on a bone. Strangulation happens on the outside, like hands around someones neck.
The way I see it ALL the kids were abused - if they lived in the house they saw most of what was going on and that affects their brain. Children learn so much by example. They all need counseling.
Didn't anyone see the signs of abuse like teachers,neighbors, friends, family members or even their father???How sad is this situation!?If the child didn't escape and get help,how long would it take for the abuse to be noticed and reported?This is just sad!!!😢
I can see Ruby putting the blame on Jodi IF Ruby was the one who put a stop to this. If one day she was like omg what am I doing to my children? And took them out of that situation and reported Jodi for her part. But she DIDN'T. If Rf hadn't escaped, Ruby would STILL be doing this to her children. I don’t think she is sorry for what she did at all. She's not really taking responsibility for what she did in this statement. She's admitting to some of the things she did but not responsibility for it. Ruby took this deal because she doesn't want the world to know what she did. She doesn't want her dirty laundry aired out in public. That's it.
IF Franke is sorry she'd take accountability totally..not" yeah I did it but it wasn't MY fault! "🙄...the man who strangled his wife was wrong but maybe driven and through long term stress..it's horrible but it does wear family members down..NOT an excuse..also Ana looks so beautiful today
noo she shouldnt u kno why.. that lady was always hardd on her kids but after she met the “dr” she went from being hard and lettin others abuse her kids i think mentally ruby isnt fully there and that lady was milking the fact that she was narcissistic. yes jail but also maybe some mental help that lady in the courtroom i seen wasnt the ruby i watched years ago. she looked dead inside
im not downplaying anything but if she deserves life in jail so does every mother that has beat on their kid till theres marks .. it was the way that lady had so much power over ruby to have her take her kids says alot. i feel like ruby knew but didnt kno fully wat was being done when she wasnt thrre i feel like the kids didnt tell her or they couldnt eat
@@pyt.Cecexi This is why a “jury of your peers” is horrifying. No, the wretched abusive asshole deserves to serve time for abusing her kids. Just because she’s a middle class white lady doesn’t mean she gets to escape accountability. She’s a bum. People need to learn they can’t abuse and screw up kids without consequences. Kids aren’t lesser value humans just because of their age. They’re annoying, yes, but they deserve basic human rights and care.
@@pyt.Cecexi i agree with both your points but even before she was abusive which you mentioned but yk not letting your toddler eat because they forgot to eat lunch and making your teenage son sleep on a bean bag for months is yk some serious shit
Ruby Franks blaming someone else for her actions isn’t surprising. She blamed her children for what she did and now she blames the other guilty party. Not surprised at all
Jodi wasn’t always there anyway she just made it worse by befriending this lady as they both have same type of ways to punish children .she was on UA-cam saying this and that about how she parents her children and Jodi just was backing her up in the end .just thank god this little boy escaped as if he didn’t then things would have gotten a lot worse I reackon and I don’t believe Kevin didn’t know anything as he knew about how his oldest son was on floor without mattress and he agreed that that’s how they parent
Hi Ana - the Ruby Franke case makes me so angry! Children are blessings to our lives. I love to see the World through my 4 y/o Grandson’s eyes. Honestly, there is ZERO reason that this behavior should have been allowed. I’m hopeful that the children get the help they need. ❤ Gerald was correct when he said she had blisters on her throat and choking is NOT mercy. - I have worked in Property Management for over 20 years now and the biggest issue that I see over and over is squatting!!! I really wish the United States would crack down on squatters.
Went through some very similar situations. I dealt with physical and mental abuse from as young as I can remember up until I ran away at 18. The woman who was in charge of most of the abuse worked as a child therapist. Still does to this day. Never had to face consequences for her actions despite me speaking up as a child many times during the abuse. I never had the opportunity to do so as an adult as I've been too busy trying to get my life together after knowing nothing but abuse and disfunction.
Ruby's sisters are only a fraction of a percent better than her. They grew up under similar circumstances and raise their children quite the same as Ruby. I have seen deep dives on other channels go into her sisters!
I mind seeing a lady that’s related to this woman and she said this type of parenting has been happening in the family for generations and things but I don’t know if this will be used in court
Hi anna, 1st I have to say I love you and ur compassion!! I actually met u in cape may co. While searching for mark. And I never miss ur show. You are absolutely awesome!! Thank you for the GREAT JOB U DO! LOVE THE SWEATER😃 happy new year
What I want to know is why kevin, the husband of this UA-cam is not also being charged with child neglect and abuse. He stood by and watched it without intervening. He allowed them to be mistreated. If he did not agree he could have easily left her and taken the children
He was at home when the oldest son had his bed taken away for seven months & he was forced to sleep on a bean bag. Also thought it was funny to take the bed room & bathroom doors off so the 2 sons had no privacy. Both parents are sadists.imo.
I definitely think Jodi and Ruby were lovers! It explains why Ruby’s 2 younger children were severely restrained!! And the Mormon church promoted Jodi as a counselor!! The church should also be accountable!!
I sincerely hope that RF never gets to be with her children until they are adults and make the decision to be in her presence again. Until, they can equally fight back against her just in case she happens to get brainwashed again, since it seems to be so easy for her to succumb to it. Kids can recognize that they are being punished for wrongdoings, even when they don’t understand exactly what they did wrong. Unless they are spoken to from another trusted adult who is not hurting them, but trying to help them, do I think kids can be educated to abuse. Kids love and want to please from day one. Abusers use that against them for their personal sadistic purposes.
Well, there's Dignitas, I suppose, but that is the individual's own decision and their's alone. Not for someone else to decide for you. Choking is simply out of the question. That's not a so called 'mercy killing', if such a thing is ever justified - it is attempted murder in an awful manner. Why didn't he simply sit and hold her hand and talk to her? It was only a short matter of time by all accounts.
It's disgusting how long Ruby Frankie was allowed to not only abuse her children for the whole world to see but to also monetize those videos. She literally made a fortune & found fame abusing her children. And she also alienated them from their father which is yet another form of emotional & psychological abuse. She's still lying to the court & the world. Doesn't matter that she scrubbed her 8 passengers channel, the woorld watched her abusing those poor children. Even those of us who never knew who she was until the day she refused to take her 5 year old lunch & the other viral video where she was ranting about the TikTok dance her kids had to do at school
I cannot imagine. If my 6 year old got just a little bit of sunburn on his ears he was in pain and it brought real tears if you touched his ears by accident. What evil!
I bet she only gets 4 or 5 years. Or less. No prior criminal record and plea deal… 1-15 years is way too much lead way. She could get 1 year for each count and never get custody of her kids again. The kids are in my prayers. I hope they find peace. I hope they are getting the love, nutrition and support they need.
Ugh ana I was waiting for an update on this from youuuu. Yay Gerald is baaaaack ❤ I honestly dont even have words to fathom this ... Learning all the horrid details about what this evil did to R and E and the rest of the munchkins.... When I heard that he was hog tied..... I literally started crying .... Ruby knows exactly what she is doing ...everyone is saying good she plead so the kids don't have to testify .... She's not stupid .... She plead so some charges were dropped ( two out of six I think we're) but in her statement referencing Jodi she still uses the word distortion.... I really hope I'm wrong about that but it honestly feels she plead so she could save herself and try and blame it all on Jodi ...and idk how I feel about Kevin getting the kids back? Idk if he is but like .... There's NO way in hell he didn't know something .... Altho if Shari is okay with trying to repair that brokenness maybe there is hope there for the others too....I just beyond hope those adorable little bundles of joy have an amazing holidays and finally find a safe space with safe people ❤❤❤❤ on a different note!! I must have Gerald's bowtie 😂😂❤❤❤
The guy who tried to end his dying wife’s life was not in a normal state of mind and having watched many people in their last days, I can, somewhat, understand how a person may be driven to end their, so called suffering
Weren't these poor children in school where they would be seen by teachers every day? How did no one notice and report the signs of abuse earlier? If home educated, why wasn't that being properly monitored and inspected by the responsible authority? I doubt whether anyone is a perfect parent. We all make mistakes, But systematic, sustained abuse like this is way off the scale. I hope the children get all the help they need so they can grow up as strong and healthy as is now possible for them, and not inflict the same or similar parenting on their own children in the future.
I had read that Jodi has a child that she lost custody of to her former husband. No one mentions this. Can someone do some research on this? 10:37 I’m curious as to why Jodi H lost custody.
First case: 1. I thought choking someone to end them is hard & takes a long time (based on what I've watched on true crime shows.) If partner is close to the end, I don't think them looking into the eyes of their life partner in the act is comforting, call me crazy. 2. How much life insurance is to be paid, how many policies, who is the beneficiary? Maybe this should be the first set of questions. Hi Ana, Gerald & Will!
I think the man whom chocked wife is because he couldn’t cope seeing this woman be in pain or for his own selfish thoughts because he couldn’t cope but that still doesn’t make it ok specially how he tried to do it .he has been angry she is leaving him and he is want her out of the pain also but he done this in all the wrong ways .i can’t see this lady agreeing to this at all it’s just sad she is the one suffering and all the pain then for the husband to try take her out this way it’s wrong
The level of SADISTIC actions of this mother are SICKENING. She MUST be locked up for the full 60 years allowable PER CHILD, served CONSECUTIVELY. 😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬 The "she made me do it" should be held AGAINST thia depraved mother, not in her favour. Contrition???? Don't believe in that nonsense AFTER a longstanding criminal actions. Don't believe her so-called "contrition".
I strongly object to the framing of Franke's charges as a matter of differing disciplinary styles. She tortured her kids. There's no "she crossed the line" as if she was doing something reasonable and them crossed over into doing something unreasonable, she starved her kids, deprived them of water, left them to the exposure of the elements, bound her son so tight the bindings cut him, smeared cayenne pepper into those wounds, duct taped over the wounds, and bound him again. There is no point on the spectrum where any of those things are in the realm of reasonable discipline.
Assisting someone through euthanasia is violent ???? If that's so, WHY IS THE SYSTEMATIC MURDERS OF ANIMALS IS CALLED EUTHANASIA ??? And is it allowed ????? 😡😡😡 BLATANT HYPOCRISY is way too prevalent in our society.
Unless a person has watched a very close loved one waste away, going through horrid treatments that make them extremely sick & being in excruciating pain literally dying a horrific slow death they can’t understand the mental effect that has on a person!! I think the husband just got to where he couldn’t watch her like that & wanted to end it for her, himself & her other love ones!! The way he tried to do it wasn’t the way but I don’t believe he should be put in prison!! He needed help but the medical/insurance industry doesn’t recognize that!! I know I would never want to suffer like that & would want help to end it if I couldn’t do it by myself!!!
Listen to Jodi Hildebrandt niece, Jessi's interviews on how she was abused by Jodi. Some of what happened to her were the same type of punishment that Franke did to her children. Agree Franke should take full responsibility for what happened.
I hope ruby grts thrown under the jail!! Ana, your lamp in the background looks kinda like the mushrooms on your shirt. I love it.❤ helped me not focus solely on how mad this eoman makes me.

I’m hopeful that the children get the help they need. ❤ Gerald was correct when he said she had blisters on her throat and choking is NOT mercy. - I have worked in Property Management for over 20 years now and the biggest issue that I see over and over is squatting!!! I really wish the United States would crack down on squatters.
Hi Pamela - yes such a sad case. Those sweet innocent children.
The squatting case is insane!
Have a great holiday and see you in the new year!
Went through some very similar situations. I dealt with physical and mental abuse from as young as I can remember up until I ran away at 18. The woman who was in charge of most of the abuse worked as a child therapist. Still does to this day. Never had to face consequences for her actions despite me speaking up as a child many times during the abuse. I never had the opportunity to do so as an adult as I've been too busy trying to get my life together after knowing nothing but abuse and disfunction.
❤Love Shouldn't ❤️ Hurt ❤
Ruby's sisters are only a fraction of a percent better than her. They grew up under similar circumstances and raise their children quite the same as Ruby. I have seen deep dives on other channels go into her sisters!
Love ur coverage of the cases!!
Nothing comes out good from these cults 🤬
I mind seeing a lady that’s related to this woman and she said this type of parenting has been happening in the family for generations and things but I don’t know if this will be used in court
Merry Christmas to True Crime Daily!!
Merry Christmas to you 🙏🏼
Hi anna, 1st I have to say I love you and ur compassion!! I actually met u in cape may co. While searching for mark. And I never miss ur show. You are absolutely awesome!!
Thank you for the GREAT JOB U DO!
LOVE THE SWEATER😃 happy new year
What I want to know is why kevin, the husband of this UA-cam is not also being charged with child neglect and abuse. He stood by and watched it without intervening. He allowed them to be mistreated. If he did not agree he could have easily left her and taken the children
They were divorced and living separately I think while this happened
@@brad9284they weren’t divorced yet but separated… even so if he hasn’t seen his kids for a year how is that not neglect?

He was at home when the oldest son had his bed taken away for seven months & he was forced to sleep on a bean bag. Also thought it was funny to take the bed room & bathroom doors off so the 2 sons had no privacy. Both parents are sadists.imo.
Her lover jodi has just pleaded guilty to the exact same charges 😮 Ruby was cruel to her kids long before jodi came into their lives 😮
Wait lover 😮
I definitely think Jodi and Ruby were lovers! It explains why Ruby’s 2 younger children were severely restrained!! And the Mormon church promoted Jodi as a counselor!! The church should also be accountable!!
I’ve missed you Ana! Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Thank you and you too!
Thanks for a great video again. Have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year.
And many blessings to you!
I sincerely hope that RF never gets to be with her children until they are adults and make the decision to be in her presence again. Until, they can equally fight back against her just in case she happens to get brainwashed again, since it seems to be so easy for her to succumb to it. Kids can recognize that they are being punished for wrongdoings, even when they don’t understand exactly what they did wrong. Unless they are spoken to from another trusted adult who is not hurting them, but trying to help them, do I think kids can be educated to abuse. Kids love and want to please from day one. Abusers use that against them for their personal sadistic purposes.
Franke’s husband must also be charged.
❤ Will’s comment story was crazy, once again ANOTHER Florida thing😂🤷🏻♀️
Florida is its own country.
I truly enjoy Gerald's commentary on cases
Ruby Franke should be released into My Custody after I am granted Federal Immunity from Prosecution.
Sign of a victim. How he said it was his fault when he was abused. How can withholding water, let alone food be seen as a punishment.
Heartbreaking
Mommie Dearest?!
Jodi has brain washed many people. Ruby always just punished the kids. I never saw her show any positive reinforcement.
Thank you so much for remembering and mentioning animals!!!
What’s good everyone!!!
Well, there's Dignitas, I suppose, but that is the individual's own decision and their's alone. Not for someone else to decide for you. Choking is simply out of the question. That's not a so called 'mercy killing', if such a thing is ever justified - it is attempted murder in an awful manner. Why didn't he simply sit and hold her hand and talk to her? It was only a short matter of time by all accounts.
Blessed CHRISTmas to you all from South Africa xoxo
Thank you and to you!
It's disgusting how long Ruby Frankie was allowed to not only abuse her children for the whole world to see but to also monetize those videos. She literally made a fortune & found fame abusing her children.
And she also alienated them from their father which is yet another form of emotional & psychological abuse.
She's still lying to the court & the world. Doesn't matter that she scrubbed her 8 passengers channel, the woorld watched her abusing those poor children.
Even those of us who never knew who she was until the day she refused to take her 5 year old lunch & the other viral video where she was ranting about the TikTok dance her kids had to do at school
I cannot imagine. If my 6 year old got just a little bit of sunburn on his ears he was in pain and it brought real tears if you touched his ears by accident. What evil!
Hi 😊 you look lovely Anna, love your jumper!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
Happy Christmas to you all from over the pond 🎉🥰
Thank you and to you!!
wow , insightful , thanks
I bet she only gets 4 or 5 years. Or less. No prior criminal record and plea deal… 1-15 years is way too much lead way. She could get 1 year for each count and never get custody of her kids again. The kids are in my prayers. I hope they find peace. I hope they are getting the love, nutrition and support they need.
Is the father not being charged also?
I think she should be charged with Attempted Murder unacceptable conduct
Ugh ana I was waiting for an update on this from youuuu. Yay Gerald is baaaaack ❤ I honestly dont even have words to fathom this ... Learning all the horrid details about what this evil did to R and E and the rest of the munchkins.... When I heard that he was hog tied..... I literally started crying .... Ruby knows exactly what she is doing ...everyone is saying good she plead so the kids don't have to testify .... She's not stupid .... She plead so some charges were dropped ( two out of six I think we're) but in her statement referencing Jodi she still uses the word distortion.... I really hope I'm wrong about that but it honestly feels she plead so she could save herself and try and blame it all on Jodi ...and idk how I feel about Kevin getting the kids back? Idk if he is but like .... There's NO way in hell he didn't know something .... Altho if Shari is okay with trying to repair that brokenness maybe there is hope there for the others too....I just beyond hope those adorable little bundles of joy have an amazing holidays and finally find a safe space with safe people ❤❤❤❤ on a different note!! I must have Gerald's bowtie 😂😂❤❤❤
Agreed Sarah, Ruby knew what she was doing. Way before there was a Jodi to blame.
And yes Gerald’s tie is the best 💯
Happy Holidays
Always great coverage! I had to add that the outfits are awesome. Love the mushrooms and the striped bow tie!!
Thank you!! Yes Gerald and I made some fashion statements on this one!
That's the raddest sweater I've ever seen! 🧚🏽♀️
The raddest Zara had 😊
I love Anna's sweater and all the cute glasses so so cute!
The guy who tried to end his dying wife’s life was not in a normal state of mind and having watched many people in their last days, I can, somewhat, understand how a person may be driven to end their, so called suffering
Weren't these poor children in school where they would be seen by teachers every day? How did no one notice and report the signs of abuse earlier? If home educated, why wasn't that being properly monitored and inspected by the responsible authority? I doubt whether anyone is a perfect parent. We all make mistakes, But systematic, sustained abuse like this is way off the scale. I hope the children get all the help they need so they can grow up as strong and healthy as is now possible for them, and not inflict the same or similar parenting on their own children in the future.
Both witches need at least 60 years behind bars!
I had read that Jodi has a child that she lost custody of to her former husband. No one mentions this. Can someone do some research on this? 10:37 I’m curious as to why Jodi H lost custody.
First case:
1. I thought choking someone to end them is hard & takes a long time (based on what I've watched on true crime shows.) If partner is close to the end, I don't think them looking into the eyes of their life partner in the act is comforting, call me crazy.
2. How much life insurance is to be paid, how many policies, who is the beneficiary? Maybe this should be the first set of questions.
Hi Ana, Gerald & Will!
Thank you Ms. Anna Garcia . I love your beautiful program and your special guests 💗😘💕❤️😍😻😚
I think the man whom chocked wife is because he couldn’t cope seeing this woman be in pain or for his own selfish thoughts because he couldn’t cope but that still doesn’t make it ok specially how he tried to do it .he has been angry she is leaving him and he is want her out of the pain also but he done this in all the wrong ways .i can’t see this lady agreeing to this at all it’s just sad she is the one suffering and all the pain then for the husband to try take her out this way it’s wrong
Sick just sick. 😢.
"The devil made me do it"... Flip Wilson. I have a feeling these 2 had an intimate relationship.
You are a nice lady - Happy Holidays :)
Ruby was already abusing her kids long before she joined forces with Hildebrand,Jodi just stoked that abuse
The level of SADISTIC actions of this mother are SICKENING.
She MUST be locked up for the full 60 years allowable PER CHILD, served CONSECUTIVELY.
😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬
The "she made me do it" should be held AGAINST thia depraved mother, not in her favour.
Contrition????
Don't believe in that nonsense AFTER a longstanding criminal actions.
Don't believe her so-called "contrition".
Wow are you serious? They could own that home?
Trust me as someone with stage 4 melanoma. You do not want skin cancer....
I am so sorry to hear that. Imagine those children and those burns.
Why was the father not charged as well??
Where was her husband when all of this was going on? He never saw any wrongdoing with their children?
I strongly object to the framing of Franke's charges as a matter of differing disciplinary styles. She tortured her kids. There's no "she crossed the line" as if she was doing something reasonable and them crossed over into doing something unreasonable, she starved her kids, deprived them of water, left them to the exposure of the elements, bound her son so tight the bindings cut him, smeared cayenne pepper into those wounds, duct taped over the wounds, and bound him again. There is no point on the spectrum where any of those things are in the realm of reasonable discipline.
Assisting someone through euthanasia is violent ????
If that's so, WHY IS THE SYSTEMATIC MURDERS OF ANIMALS IS CALLED EUTHANASIA ??? And is it allowed ?????
😡😡😡
BLATANT HYPOCRISY is way too prevalent in our society.
Unless a person has watched a very close loved one waste away, going through horrid treatments that make them extremely sick & being in excruciating pain literally dying a horrific slow death they can’t understand the mental effect that has on a person!! I think the husband just got to where he couldn’t watch her like that & wanted to end it for her, himself & her other love ones!! The way he tried to do it wasn’t the way but I don’t believe he should be put in prison!! He needed help but the medical/insurance industry doesn’t recognize that!! I know I would never want to suffer like that & would want help to end it if I couldn’t do it by myself!!!
i knew ruby was goin to do something
she was doing too much at one point
🖤 where did you get the mushroom sweater because I need one 😅
They are ridiculously dramatic!
Disgusting.
"And I'd do it again..." 😮
I would like to hear from this woman's supporters
why do we need to watch them? it might as well be on the radio.
Listen to Jodi Hildebrandt niece, Jessi's interviews on how she was abused by Jodi. Some of what happened to her were the same type of punishment that Franke did to her children.
Agree Franke should take full responsibility for what happened.
I hope ruby grts thrown under the jail!!
Ana, your lamp in the background looks kinda like the mushrooms on your shirt. I love it.❤ helped me not focus solely on how mad this eoman makes me.
That lamp ! Yes I guess it was a whole vibe.
Where did you get that sweater?! 😻😻
Why didn’t anyone say anything while it was happening?
Love your sweater. 🫶🏻
