Well said. I had a friend who was about 15 years older than me- she was such a bad Mother, they started calling me Mommy. I was a 19 year old college student renting a room from her.
I heard of this woman and her channel sometime ago when she refused to bring for five year old lunch when she forgot it at school. As a mom, I was🤯 and she literally said she hoped nobody would feed her kid so she would learn the lesson. When somebody shows you who they are believe them the first time…. I hope she gets the consequences she deserves
Thats horrible. Every child deserves to eat, regardless if they forgot their lunch or not. It’s already a learning experience for the kid when they forgot it. Edit: I placed a word wrong
I was rewatching Swoop's doc on all of this and watching Markie talk about it recently and just thought "I'm 30 and can't always be trusted to remember my lunch, why the fuck does she expect a 5/6 year old to remember that?!"
@@PsychIGotchaimagine being 5 years old and already being past the “oh my mom takes care of me and is nurturing and motherly”stage i’ll never be annoyed at my mom doing little things for me without me asking cause like man a FIVE YEAR OLD- is already past that stage in their life
Never watched this lady, but I have heard of her channel. The sad part is that her kids were literally trying to call out for help in videos, saying exactly what she did and how she was treating them. She also posted videos of her verbally and emotionally abusing them. Yet it took the youngest kid having to *escape* and ask for food from a neighbor before anyone actually did anything. This is horrorfying when you think about it. Imagine begging for help, telling millions of people what's happening to you/your siblings and no one does a damn thing to help.
Actually many people did try to call and make reports, even people inside the family that saw something was wrong. Unfortunately and sadly many times in the situation where the family has money or status nothing is done to protect the children.

Abusers always isolate and control their victims, exactly how this women isolated their kids physically and mentally through living in the middle of no where and depriving them of internet access. They also publicly and privately humiliate and degrade their victims like when they read their son’s text out loud and made her daughter hold her dirty retainer. This woman is sadistic and she took pleasure and power in emotionally and psychologically abusing her kids, she is a narcissist, just like my parents, who had me just to feel powerful through abusing and controlling me and have someone to laugh at every time they make cry.

My father used to tease me unkindly and the damage followed me into adulthood. It would have been 1000 times worse if they had filmed it and put it where all my friends in school could see it. Unbelievable.
I’m sorry. My brother and father were the same way. 🙃 My dad and I are closer now and he is so much better. But my brother is still the same. Now he has sons that do it to their younger brother. I always stand up for him and always tell him he’s my favorite.
I love my parents, they are great parents but my mom is the type to share my embarrassing moments with others (not the really embarrassing ones) but still even this was humiliating. So I can't imagine how her son felt, might be very traumatizing.
Your friends would see it but _you would not_ since you wouldn't have a smartphone nor internet access. Imagine the level of isolation and paranoia she caused to her children. They could never know what their peers knew about them. What a horrible childhood.
Same here, but it was my father and brother. They weren't nearly as cruel as this woman though, but they were still kinda cruel. They ruined my mental health, social life and self esteem. I'm an adult now, but it still hurts.

Apparently the father wants the kids. He said he was out of the house for 13 months. But from the videos, he may not been involved in the physical abuse but he was part of the emotional abuse.
The blond lady sitting next to her is actually the owner of a "therapy center" that "helps adults and families". If Ruby learned how to "discipline" her children from this center, it needs to be shut down. I'm afraid for any children that suffered because of these assholes.
That heavy blonde lady's niece did an interview about how she is the mastermind of the kids being starved and put in duct tape, and it's clear she needs to go to prison. Isn't ironic that well-fed woman starves children, and the woman with "millions" to go "shopping at target" doesn't want her kids to have anything. They are EVIL. I'm so sorry to anyone whose been abused by women like them. May they find healing in their comeuppance.
She’s a real life mommy dearest. Joan Crawford (allegedly) did similar things to her daughter Christina - she would physically and verbally assault her but in front of the cameras and media made them appear as a happy family with her being a great mom.
As someone who grew up with an abusive father I’m so glad that she finally got put in jail and I hope the kids are doing better now, it’s a very hard trauma to get over
I’m GenX and was raised by a father who is just like Ruby. I was taken from him by social services by the age of 12, and am still in therapy to this day 🥴😬
It's terrifying how similar this case is to my aunt's.... About a year ago all her abuse came to light and had all but 1 kid taken away. She starved these children too and would reward them with food when they tattled on each other... She also was "homeschooling" them and they had no way to make friends. The eldest was even whipped and chained up for punishment.... We have custody of him now THANK GOD!!!! he was so malnourished when we got him... Cut to today, he grew 8 full inches (in a year) and is a healthy weight. I hope these children Ruby and her husband abused get placed in family care and they grow up to be wonderful human beings like my cousins have.
@@SerenityMayorBenjamin he is doing good! Played football and now in wrestling and he LOVES it! He is however in therapy every week to work through all the programming and the issues that come up daily. Of course because of the brainwashing, there's a lot of bad thoughts. "beating ass" violence is the big one right now and that's one reason he is in sports to get that feeling out without hurting people. But he is doing so much better than before and he has the urge to do better. The other siblings are with their biological father and they're doing alright. They have lots to work through but they aren't in therapy so they don't have the tools to work through those emotions and tendencies. They fight a lot but they're still extremely sweet kids at their core. We have no clue how the kid remaining in her care is. We just know that she is 3 and deathly overweight. Thank you for asking 🥺💖 that's very kind of you
I almost started crying bro . WHAT IS SHE DOING TO THEM ?! the toy she said she'd cut was my favourite toy I had as a child and still have now. I feel this pain on a personal level from my childhood.. LIFE SENTENCE HER PLEASEEE!!!!!!!
Every time you see those two women sitting on the gray couch, know that the boy and girl are hungry, thirsty, and tied up in a room in that house. Those are the two women who each face 90 years in prison.
I've never heard of her before I heard she was arrested and one of her children escaped and went to a neighbor for food and WATER, had injuries and their hands were still half bound...
10:03 " what? Your 3yrs old and you can't read " " LILY DOES IT LOOK LIKE MOMMY GIVES A SH!T ABOUT U NOT READING, READ THE SIGN " * wig falls off *😂😂😂 hilarious
That woman on the couch that you thought might be her mom is Jodi, the connections cult leader that was fully aware of and facilitating the abuse of the children. The child escaped from Jodis home and when she was taken into custody and told the charges, she told the officers that the children shouldn't be around other children, showing she was fully aware and supportive of Ruby.
The clip at 9:13 genuinely made me start to cry. I had that exact same beanie baby as a kid, and I had special attachments to all of my stuffed animals. I felt like I was in the daughter's place watching that, it must have been 100 times more horrifying for her. Poor sweet girl
As someone from a third world country yes we indeed have smart phones, ok some people still have flip phones but mostly older people, and that mother is disgusting!
i feel everyone who is competent should have a device with the ability to call for help like no we don’t think children should be on snapchat instagram and all of that but they should have the resource to call mf 911?
This brings back memories of my childhood, i was also forced to be homeschooled, was afraid of my parents, and never had any real friends as a kid cause my mom always had some reason why she didnt like them. Looking back on it now, i see it was my mom had severe control issues and actually got jealous of me for having friends
I am so sorry, my dad beat me for speaking Japanese or telling people I was half. He also called me things like ch*nk or j*p. And like your mom, had almost any reason in the world be didnt like my friends.
@@banirolls awe that's so nice of you, thankyou! I gotta say, religion makes people do some crazy stuff , not all religions, and not all people. But imo experience there is too many crazy rules to follow when it comes to Mormans or Christianity
Layze, you have the talent to be funny about something very serious, but in a way you are not annoying. I don't know how you do that, but you never fail to make me laugh.
It kinda is, tho. They had no other access to any social contacts. It's okay to limit your kids screen time but let them have some fun as well (especially since playing outside has become so rare now, they'll hardly find other kids to play with).
I mean I didn't have a proper smartphone until I was like 13. I'm a gen z and I honestly believe kids don't need social media. It's a world full of creeps out there.
the kid only mentioned not having tv and iPads after mentioning that he doesn't have any friend because normally it's preferable for a kid to play outside with friends instead of being in the internet but he doesn't even have that option..
i actually used to watch 8 passengers as a child because it was just fascinating to see the big family of siblings but the moment chad was embarrassed at the dinner table I felt so bad and left because of how mean it was.I was 11. Now im 19 and SHOCKED
Hopefully Ruby receives prison justice. I hope that she never eats a full meal in peace or sleeps comfortably while in prison. I’ve never heard of this woman bf these allegations came to light,my question is was the father of these children complicit in this abuse? I pray that these children receive all the love & support they were denied from their disgusting mother.
10:36 you naillled that dead-pan serial killer here! So glad you brought this up earlier too because I find it unsettling when other people don’t notice that ‘dead-behind-the-eyes’ expression.
My abusive lack of mather just started bitching at me so I told her a woman who only did this is facing 90 years. That shut her up. Wishing the kids healing and a real father.
@maureensmith9923 that's not healthy, don't promote abuse. I've been to therapy and those 2 don't go together. You don't heal by promoting abuse. Learn compassion one day and don't talk unless you actually have semi decent intentions.
@@garbage2266You sound rude since you acknowledge this is not the time hence it being about trauma, they could be non english native speaker, and they talked about verbally and with that context yes 90 years is long for verbal abuse in this context.
when he showed that clip of them reading out the kid's texts on his phone. I instantly felt like pushing those parents off a cliff. horrible parents invading their kids privacy and also not feeding them properly and beating them and abusing them. o M L. I hope the kids are doing better now and will find loving parents someday
Damn, I just looked and he's already at 140k. He only just hit 100k whaaaaa? Also, I agree. As a poor mother who struggles to have food, I make sure my kids eat. I'm the one who goes hungry so they can. I don't understand why people can be ok with denying nourishment as a punishment.
That's why I was never interested in those family youtubers. Every channel seems too happy and too good to be true for having 3+ kids running around. It's sus when moms keep posting more and more about themselves. Feel so bad for their kids, now theyre in the system that might separate them
I'm with you layze how the hell did anyone not be concerned from watching those clips?!?! i just want to give those kids a hug and a huge ice cream sundae
I feel so bad for the youngest kids, i know the older ones had it bad, but they had the safety of being on camara to protect them from visible injury, or she couldnt make money. But once they got older and left and she took her other kids off the internet, thats when she took it to the next level. Im so glad everyone is making videos on this, everyone needs to know the monster she is and what these poor kids dealt with. Edit: That other lady with her is Jodi and shes a monster too. Shes the one brought out the extremist in Ruby.
No, the older ones feel responsible and helpless for not protecting the younger ones. Your words hurt me, as I was the oldest sibling and we were all abused. The younger ones was looking for protect with me, but I was helpless and abused too. :-( Please, think again before you start comparing who had it worst. It is NOT a competition. Your comment is very unfair and hurtful. The older kids were NOT safe, they were abused in front of camera TOO. You lack empathy. Please, educate yourself. All the kids suffered and their are traumatized for life. Please, please, educate yourself! ASAP. Watch some DoctorRamani videos. There is nor happy neither safe kid in a toxic family. Stop writing heartless comments. Only narcissists compete in - who had it worst in a traumatic event.
@@Julienna I am sorry for hurting you, that was not my intent at all. I imagine the pain they felt not being able to help their sibling was intolerable and I'm sorry if I invalidated your experiences and your trauma. I'll take what you said to heart. Stories like yours are important to be shared because they teach people like me, something we may not have considered before. And I would never want to contribute to that pain you feel. Thank you for sharing this with me and I wish you all the healing from the pain you've endured. I mean that, from the bottom of my heart ❤️
They sent the 9ldest to some off road camp that was crazy serious i mean it was a camp with no rules and if you starve you starve type deal along with building your own shelter and they did that as punishment because they "claimed" he was being disrespectful. He had it more than just "bad". It crazy horrible to send your kids to places like that especially when they have no previous experience like boy scouts and things like that.
@@sasori2425 I know, I wasn't trying to invalidate their trauma, I was just pointing more how horrible her parenting became with each child. Its like the younger they were, the worse they got. And once they were isolated, she could do what she wanted and there was no one to save them anymore. The situation is horrible for all of them, I was putting myself in the mind of those young kids, alone without their older siblings to protect them. I never meant to make it sound like the older siblings didn't go through hell too.
Her definition of entitlement is eating food lol like when she told her 4 year old you felt entitled to go in the fridge and get food 😂 like um ya it’s food lady she’s nuts
Your channel just came across my feed and I’m glad it did. I love your commentary! 👍🏽 I don’t understand why the husband isn’t getting charged. His abuse may not of been physical but he participated in the emotional abuse!
Punishment should be fare with a touch of love added to it. It should never include withholding basic needs. My father punished to hurt and demean. As an adult I’m emotionally scarred by it still. They will still love their mother and want to be with her, just wanting an unattainable approval from her probably forever. She’s mentally, emotionally and physically abusive disguising it as love
I grew up in a very very similar home and I feel for these children and what they are going to go through to try to navigate the world after this. Fundamentalism is ONLY ever harmful.
I can't believe these people. Why on earth did she have so many children? Obviously just so she would have people to terrorise. BTW your expressions are so hilarious!
They’re so insecure about themself that they have to take it out on others. For me when my dad lost his wallet or glasses he would yell at me and run after me because he believed me, my mom, or brother moved it.
If my kid said please, lord, help me survive, I would bust out bawling, and she giggled. Dear Lord, please help those poor children; they've suffered enough. Let them be adopted by the most loving and caring of families🙏
Not to trauma dump but I've been through the 'stop doing this or I will do this to your stuff' and that honestly messes a person up, I'm nearly 20 and I still remember those moments vibrantly. They should do a mental exam on parents and siblings to see if they can have children/siblings like bffr
I had a teacher that did that. She would take anything I did that day in class, like drawings or paper crowns and tear them up in my face in front of the whole class
These parents are literally their children's first bullies and it's sad. They don't want them having access to the Internet because then they would have been able to tell someone what is happening at home and eventually someone would realize something is off. The children should be able to slit her earnings off of them and lock her up for at least 10-20 years
I think I’m more upset at the fact that this sociopath was so popular on UA-cam. You get paid from UA-cam through how many views your videos get, along with donations, ad revenue, etc. The fact that people were watching her abuse her kids on a regular basis and kept watching and supporting her is almost more disturbing that the abuse.
I was at a shop yesterday and saw an older woman hit her (i guess granddaughter) across the face because the girl dropped something under the shelf and was on the floor trying to get it. I told her don't hit children in public ( u should never but I just knew she'd make it about me telling her how to raise a kid) and she told me to keep walking man I wish I threatened her with the police, I'll never live this down now. I hope abusive parents/relatives get what's coming to them in the afterlife.
Oh they will, sadly cps can be worse sometimes, so many kids go "missing" under them, smh this world, good to be a good person to help out weigh that evil and selfishness. Pray for them, prayer does have power
I can see now how some kids are saying that hurting someone is how you show love, but that is very wrong and a kids mindset shouldn't be exposed to that treatment
In my family no matter how much you mess up, you always get your meals. I mean, grandma can yell and curse at us but she always makes sure we eat. Food is not a privilege, it's a necessity.
I blame the extended family also. They did not have the guts to report her. And now they are relieved? Seriously? I have no children, and I'm sickened by this. Lock her up and throw away the key.
6:54 oh, yes, I’m such a loving parent none of you know what love looks like. Everything I’m doing is right and all of you are wrong. I am a loving parent and my kids will grow up to love me and take care of me when I’m old and frail.
I think one reason they were given flip phones instead of smart phones wasn't necessarily because it had easier access to the internet, but to prevent the kids from recording her behavior from their perspective and sending it to the authorities for help.
the more and more I watch him.. the funnier he gets.. I literally start dyinggg with laughter as soon as I see him pull them wigs out.. only UA-camr that acts out his reactions and opinions to videos he reviews.. keep it coming please! I’m loving this! 🤦🏽♀️😂
This mom believes in tough love - my mom did too and I had serious mental problems for the first 30 years of my life because I thought there was something wrong with me. Thank God I know love isn't tough and I love my little girls with nice patient and kind love.
Layze… your videos popped up as a suggestion. I subscribed and have watched so many more! You are soooo funny!! You brighten up my day with your observations and humour!! More Alabama Mondays please!!! 🤘👊

@@mamajoe1239agreed as a lesbian I saw them n said “ oh that’s why you kicked your husband out”
That heavy blonde lady's niece did an interview about how she is the mastermind of the kids being starved and put in duct tape, and it's clear she needs to go to prison.
Isn't ironic that well-fed woman starves children, and the woman with "millions" to go "shopping at target" doesn't want her kids to have anything.
They are EVIL. I'm so sorry to anyone whose been abused by women like them. May they find healing in their comeuppance.
She’s a real life mommy dearest. Joan Crawford (allegedly) did similar things to her daughter Christina - she would physically and verbally assault her but in front of the cameras and media made them appear as a happy family with her being a great mom.
6 counts of aggravated child abuse..she's going away for a long time. Husband should be in jail also.
As someone who grew up with an abusive father I’m so glad that she finally got put in jail and I hope the kids are doing better now, it’s a very hard trauma to get over
Same, also hello fellow abusive father survivoe, i am too

I’m GenX and was raised by a father who is just like Ruby. I was taken from him by social services by the age of 12, and am still in therapy to this day 🥴😬
Daaamn bro. Hope you heal.
It takes some time but therapy really helps. Sometimes, you take two steps forward and one step back.
hi its been a year, hows life?
Oh gosh, I'm so sorry you had to go through such a trauma like that :(
I hope that evil man is in jail
😢😢 hope your better now
It's terrifying how similar this case is to my aunt's.... About a year ago all her abuse came to light and had all but 1 kid taken away. She starved these children too and would reward them with food when they tattled on each other... She also was "homeschooling" them and they had no way to make friends. The eldest was even whipped and chained up for punishment.... We have custody of him now THANK GOD!!!! he was so malnourished when we got him... Cut to today, he grew 8 full inches (in a year) and is a healthy weight. I hope these children Ruby and her husband abused get placed in family care and they grow up to be wonderful human beings like my cousins have.
What about the kid she has how are they doing?
@@SerenityMayorBenjamin he is doing good! Played football and now in wrestling and he LOVES it! He is however in therapy every week to work through all the programming and the issues that come up daily. Of course because of the brainwashing, there's a lot of bad thoughts. "beating ass" violence is the big one right now and that's one reason he is in sports to get that feeling out without hurting people. But he is doing so much better than before and he has the urge to do better. The other siblings are with their biological father and they're doing alright. They have lots to work through but they aren't in therapy so they don't have the tools to work through those emotions and tendencies. They fight a lot but they're still extremely sweet kids at their core. We have no clue how the kid remaining in her care is. We just know that she is 3 and deathly overweight. Thank you for asking 🥺💖 that's very kind of you
tbh she should be in jail for child abuse and neglect
I almost started crying bro . WHAT IS SHE DOING TO THEM ?! the toy she said she'd cut was my favourite toy I had as a child and still have now. I feel this pain on a personal level from my childhood.. LIFE SENTENCE HER PLEASEEE!!!!!!!
Every time you see those two women sitting on the gray couch, know that the boy and girl are hungry, thirsty, and tied up in a room in that house. Those are the two women who each face 90 years in prison.
I've never heard of her before I heard she was arrested and one of her children escaped and went to a neighbor for food and WATER, had injuries and their hands were still half bound...
10:03 " what? Your 3yrs old and you can't read " " LILY DOES IT LOOK LIKE MOMMY GIVES A SH!T ABOUT U NOT READING, READ THE SIGN " * wig falls off *😂😂😂 hilarious
That woman on the couch that you thought might be her mom is Jodi, the connections cult leader that was fully aware of and facilitating the abuse of the children. The child escaped from Jodis home and when she was taken into custody and told the charges, she told the officers that the children shouldn't be around other children, showing she was fully aware and supportive of Ruby.
The clip at 9:13 genuinely made me start to cry. I had that exact same beanie baby as a kid, and I had special attachments to all of my stuffed animals. I felt like I was in the daughter's place watching that, it must have been 100 times more horrifying for her. Poor sweet girl
As someone from a third world country yes we indeed have smart phones, ok some people still have flip phones but mostly older people, and that mother is disgusting!
i feel everyone who is competent should have a device with the ability to call for help like no we don’t think children should be on snapchat instagram and all of that but they should have the resource to call mf 911?
My boyfriend uses a flip phone still I feel so embarrassed for him it looks like a phone when I was like 9 good grief
@@MelB868embarrassed?🤨
This brings back memories of my childhood, i was also forced to be homeschooled, was afraid of my parents, and never had any real friends as a kid cause my mom always had some reason why she didnt like them. Looking back on it now, i see it was my mom had severe control issues and actually got jealous of me for having friends
I feel that, sometimes I wish people had to get screened for psychopathy before there are allowed to breed.
I am so sorry, my dad beat me for speaking Japanese or telling people I was half. He also called me things like ch*nk or j*p. And like your mom, had almost any reason in the world be didnt like my friends.

How is dinner a privilege?!
Because other children are starving and still love their parents 😍 (that's what these people tell their kids)
It's not
@@tulip811 yeah I think they can’t use that excuse anymore
It's a necessity not a privilege
she just used any means to control and brainwash poor kids. it's insane.
Layze, you have the talent to be funny about something very serious, but in a way you are not annoying. I don't know how you do that, but you never fail to make me laugh.
Yeah, like he covers disturbing topics that id usually be a little nervous watching, but he does it in such a welcoming way it feels nice and safe :D
CPS was notified multiple times of her over many years from neighbors and family.
I literally just watched an analysis video on this case. This "mother" is disgusting.
Not giving the kids Smartphones is not the problem! The cruelty with which they treated their kids was!!!
It kinda is, tho. They had no other access to any social contacts. It's okay to limit your kids screen time but let them have some fun as well (especially since playing outside has become so rare now, they'll hardly find other kids to play with).
Right! He acted like that was the worst thing a parent could do 😑
I mean I didn't have a proper smartphone until I was like 13. I'm a gen z and I honestly believe kids don't need social media. It's a world full of creeps out there.
@anikajoy5739 Depends if they go to public school or not. If they do, would just be another example of the parents' humiliating the kids
the kid only mentioned not having tv and iPads after mentioning that he doesn't have any friend because normally it's preferable for a kid to play outside with friends instead of being in the internet but he doesn't even have that option..
i actually used to watch 8 passengers as a child because it was just fascinating to see the big family of siblings but the moment chad was embarrassed at the dinner table I felt so bad and left because of how mean it was.I was 11. Now im 19 and SHOCKED
Layze thank you for making my parents look like angels and making me feel better about my life 😂 👌
Hopefully Ruby receives prison justice. I hope that she never eats a full meal in peace or sleeps comfortably while in prison. I’ve never heard of this woman bf these allegations came to light,my question is was the father of these children complicit in this abuse? I pray that these children receive all the love & support they were denied from their disgusting mother.
Agreed!
I hope they take her food like she did her kids.
Hey we have the same name but different mines is spelled Farah
10:36 you naillled that dead-pan serial killer here! So glad you brought this up earlier too because I find it unsettling when other people don’t notice that ‘dead-behind-the-eyes’ expression.
not all parents deserve to be parents
Ah yes the classic “I abuse you “ because “ Ily”…..
She called her kids the issue to why she can’t do anything, they were never asked to be born! They didn’t force you to have them!
You are so right. I think all her kids should sue her for all the money she made from them.
My abusive lack of mather just started bitching at me so I told her a woman who only did this is facing 90 years. That shut her up. Wishing the kids healing and a real father.
@@garbage2266 no, you don't. You are choosing to be an asshole just because you hate victims. There's no decency behind your comment or in your heart
@maureensmith9923 that's not healthy, don't promote abuse. I've been to therapy and those 2 don't go together. You don't heal by promoting abuse. Learn compassion one day and don't talk unless you actually have semi decent intentions.
@maureensmith9923 you literally can't undo your pro abuse behavior with the fake take care. You literally asked me to do the opposite
@@garbage2266You sound rude since you acknowledge this is not the time hence it being about trauma, they could be non english native speaker, and they talked about verbally and with that context yes 90 years is long for verbal abuse in this context.
Anyone notice at 7:30 he sped up eating and scarfed it. I bet he was scared that they were going to take his food away.
8:41 I feel so bad for this dude because he’s the oldest, he’s definitely traumatized from enduring her bullshit for so long
Proof that it’s the mothers responsibility and NOT the kids responsibility. She literally traumatized her kids. I hope they’re doing ok now
Thanks for this, L. This woman is the definition of tell me you're a sicko without telling me you're a sicko.
There’s no way you can call people like this “parents”
You add just the right amount of humor to an awful tragic situation thank you for that.
Praying for the children ❤️. Thanks for another great video Layze 💯💯🤗
when he showed that clip of them reading out the kid's texts on his phone. I instantly felt like pushing those parents off a cliff. horrible parents invading their kids privacy and also not feeding them properly and beating them and abusing them. o M L. I hope the kids are doing better now and will find loving parents someday
LOL She claims the KIDS were the ones becoming entitled by money?!
At this rate you're going to hit 200k in just a few months!
This world isn't safe for children 😢
Eating is a privilege???
Damn, I just looked and he's already at 140k. He only just hit 100k whaaaaa? Also, I agree. As a poor mother who struggles to have food, I make sure my kids eat. I'm the one who goes hungry so they can. I don't understand why people can be ok with denying nourishment as a punishment.
@@AshChiCupcak I'm so sorry you're struggling. I'm sending positive mojo that your circumstances change for the better.
As soon as first about her starving her kids and making her son sleep on floor made me think, why didn’t she get arrested when she admitted to it?
That's why I was never interested in those family youtubers. Every channel seems too happy and too good to be true for having 3+ kids running around. It's sus when moms keep posting more and more about themselves. Feel so bad for their kids, now theyre in the system that might separate them
im proud of how far u came, keep going, we're all supporting u!!
I'm with you layze how the hell did anyone not be concerned from watching those clips?!?! i just want to give those kids a hug and a huge ice cream sundae
Your brilliant! ❤ So honest and funny, I love it!. Thankyou, I found this strangely healing to watch because of what I experienced with my mother.
I feel so bad for the youngest kids, i know the older ones had it bad, but they had the safety of being on camara to protect them from visible injury, or she couldnt make money. But once they got older and left and she took her other kids off the internet, thats when she took it to the next level. Im so glad everyone is making videos on this, everyone needs to know the monster she is and what these poor kids dealt with.
Edit: That other lady with her is Jodi and shes a monster too. Shes the one brought out the extremist in Ruby.
No, the older ones feel responsible and helpless for not protecting the younger ones. Your words hurt me, as I was the oldest sibling and we were all abused. The younger ones was looking for protect with me, but I was helpless and abused too. :-( Please, think again before you start comparing who had it worst. It is NOT a competition. Your comment is very unfair and hurtful. The older kids were NOT safe, they were abused in front of camera TOO. You lack empathy. Please, educate yourself. All the kids suffered and their are traumatized for life. Please, please, educate yourself! ASAP. Watch some DoctorRamani videos. There is nor happy neither safe kid in a toxic family. Stop writing heartless comments. Only narcissists compete in - who had it worst in a traumatic event.
@@Julienna I am sorry for hurting you, that was not my intent at all. I imagine the pain they felt not being able to help their sibling was intolerable and I'm sorry if I invalidated your experiences and your trauma. I'll take what you said to heart. Stories like yours are important to be shared because they teach people like me, something we may not have considered before. And I would never want to contribute to that pain you feel. Thank you for sharing this with me and I wish you all the healing from the pain you've endured. I mean that, from the bottom of my heart ❤️
They sent the 9ldest to some off road camp that was crazy serious i mean it was a camp with no rules and if you starve you starve type deal along with building your own shelter and they did that as punishment because they "claimed" he was being disrespectful.
He had it more than just "bad". It crazy horrible to send your kids to places like that especially when they have no previous experience like boy scouts and things like that.
@@sasori2425 I know, I wasn't trying to invalidate their trauma, I was just pointing more how horrible her parenting became with each child. Its like the younger they were, the worse they got. And once they were isolated, she could do what she wanted and there was no one to save them anymore. The situation is horrible for all of them, I was putting myself in the mind of those young kids, alone without their older siblings to protect them. I never meant to make it sound like the older siblings didn't go through hell too.
Her definition of entitlement is eating food lol like when she told her 4 year old you felt entitled to go in the fridge and get food 😂 like um ya it’s food lady she’s nuts
Your channel just came across my feed and I’m glad it did. I love your commentary! 👍🏽 I don’t understand why the husband isn’t getting charged. His abuse may not of been physical but he participated in the emotional abuse!
1:56 She took the glass skin trend too far Holy shit her nose is the shiniest thing I've ever seen in the universe 😳
I can't wait for her skin to go dull when she's in prison
😂😂😂 rightt

6:06 Is she seriously rolling her eyes??? Those poor children,she really doesn't care how unwell they are
You never fail at making me laugh thanks layze
The way they laughed at him for texting that I can’t even imagine how emotionally traumatizing that is:( What we’re they thinking.
On top of everything else too
So glad the kids are away from those parents
the weird part is that the house shown at 5:11 looks so stranded and isolated...wonder if the mom planned that
also damnn layze i see them muscles
Off topic but i really love the effort you're putting in editing and creating your videos!
I was so hoping you'd cover this... awesome content as ever! Hopefully she'll go to prison and rot for what she did to her children 😠
you the only youtuber i can break the “only watches youtube while eating” cycle with. you’re too funny!🥳
7:40 you can literally get a Samsung for $20 at Walmart and this kid has a flip phone
“Ruby Franke the mom who got arrested for starving her kids.” A true title.
Punishment should be fare with a touch of love added to it. It should never include withholding basic needs. My father punished to hurt and demean. As an adult I’m emotionally scarred by it still. They will still love their mother and want to be with her, just wanting an unattainable approval from her probably forever. She’s mentally, emotionally and physically abusive disguising it as love
She’s so abusive to a child what kind of parent is this some kids deserve better
I grew up in a very very similar home and I feel for these children and what they are going to go through to try to navigate the world after this. Fundamentalism is ONLY ever harmful.
Layze can make me laugh about literally ANYTHING!❤😂..JUST the wigs alone😂
Ruby being like "I'm not giving you any technology but I'm going to document MY love for you with this cellphone " 😌
I can't believe these people. Why on earth did she have so many children? Obviously just so she would have people to terrorise.
BTW your expressions are so hilarious!
They’re so insecure about themself that they have to take it out on others. For me when my dad lost his wallet or glasses he would yell at me and run after me because he believed me, my mom, or brother moved it.
If my kid said please, lord, help me survive, I would bust out bawling, and she giggled. Dear Lord, please help those poor children; they've suffered enough. Let them be adopted by the most loving and caring of families🙏
Not to trauma dump but I've been through the 'stop doing this or I will do this to your stuff' and that honestly messes a person up, I'm nearly 20 and I still remember those moments vibrantly. They should do a mental exam on parents and siblings to see if they can have children/siblings like bffr
On god.
I hope ur good, but omg junko monokuma
I had a teacher that did that. She would take anything I did that day in class, like drawings or paper crowns and tear them up in my face in front of the whole class
@@robinbrown2256 You deserve better
@@robinbrown2256wtf-
These parents are literally their children's first bullies and it's sad. They don't want them having access to the Internet because then they would have been able to tell someone what is happening at home and eventually someone would realize something is off. The children should be able to slit her earnings off of them and lock her up for at least 10-20 years
Bruh. She said eating is a privilege.
Have never heard of her before this, good God she's unhinged. I'm a mom , i feel for her poor kids.
0:06 girl why are u cryying ite not like ur suffering like ur kids🤨☠️
She’s an embarrassment of a person
Her crying was so pathetic I can’t
I think I’m more upset at the fact that this sociopath was so popular on UA-cam. You get paid from UA-cam through how many views your videos get, along with donations, ad revenue, etc. The fact that people were watching her abuse her kids on a regular basis and kept watching and supporting her is almost more disturbing that the abuse.
I never heard of her. I would have called the Police
Hey Layze I HAD to join- you are hilarious. Hope you are well.
I was at a shop yesterday and saw an older woman hit her (i guess granddaughter) across the face because the girl dropped something under the shelf and was on the floor trying to get it. I told her don't hit children in public ( u should never but I just knew she'd make it about me telling her how to raise a kid) and she told me to keep walking man I wish I threatened her with the police, I'll never live this down now. I hope abusive parents/relatives get what's coming to them in the afterlife.
At the very least, you embarrassed that woman by calling out her abusive behavior in public.
Oh they will, sadly cps can be worse sometimes, so many kids go "missing" under them, smh this world, good to be a good person to help out weigh that evil and selfishness. Pray for them, prayer does have power
Having a father who is abusive, I agree with your statement
It‘s like i‘m reliving my childhood. I hope these kids get better soon. So glad they finally got help ❤
Layze ur channel is growing so fast im so damn proud 😭😭
The way you get over your message is awesome never stop
Yes laaayzeeee 140k!! U getting the attention and recognition u deserve ❤️ congratulations almost 200k
I can see now how some kids are saying that hurting someone is how you show love, but that is very wrong and a kids mindset shouldn't be exposed to that treatment
In my family no matter how much you mess up, you always get your meals. I mean, grandma can yell and curse at us but she always makes sure we eat. Food is not a privilege, it's a necessity.
I blame the extended family also. They did not have the guts to report her. And now they are relieved? Seriously?
I have no children, and I'm sickened by this.
Lock her up and throw away the key.
Not that this situation isn’t serious but Colleen ballinger is still walking free 💀
Put her and Rubie in the same jail cell they deserve each other
9:54 Layze should clip this as a movie short and send it to Oscars for consideration. That waa intense! 👏🏆
The fact that she was threatening to starve her kids... because they were... *Checks notes* Playing on the effing rug!!!
6:54 oh, yes, I’m such a loving parent none of you know what love looks like. Everything I’m doing is right and all of you are wrong. I am a loving parent and my kids will grow up to love me and take care of me when I’m old and frail.
12:33 I think that woman is actually like some sort of therapist or something and she also abuses her child im not sure i saw it on tiktok
I think one reason they were given flip phones instead of smart phones wasn't necessarily because it had easier access to the internet, but to prevent the kids from recording her behavior from their perspective and sending it to the authorities for help.
the more and more I watch him.. the funnier he gets.. I literally start dyinggg with laughter as soon as I see him pull them wigs out.. only UA-camr that acts out his reactions and opinions to videos he reviews.. keep it coming please! I’m loving this! 🤦🏽♀️😂
This mom believes in tough love - my mom did too and I had serious mental problems for the first 30 years of my life because I thought there was something wrong with me. Thank God I know love isn't tough and I love my little girls with nice patient and kind love.
