I’m sorry but the day that she got on camera and ADMITTED to denying her 4yr old daughter food because she forgot her packed lunch, that was the day you knew that she seriously neglected her children. The fact that CPS didn’t step in then shows how complicit they are too in the failure to protect these kids. Ruby and Jodie are monsters hiding behind a facade. Throw away the key I say.
And her admitting on camera that she hoped no one would give her daughter food. I always say that there are people that don't deserve to have children. I hope these children get the help they need.
Exactly. That and the things they said they did to discipline their son told me everything. If that’s the kind of thing you admit to publicly, I can only imagine the horrors those kids went through privately.
I wished it didn't have to take THIS LONG for the authority to step in, I hope the children are in better hands now.. :(
FOR REAL! I shouldn’t be as shocked as I was - and still am - that no action was taken after that. Genuinely wtf.
And it’s all hidden behind this culture of, “I can raise my kid this way, mind your business” and that’s how her fans and defenders were like.
The fact that these women were SELLING PARENTING ADVICE is honestly absolutely horrifying
Yes, Gross 🤮
It's always the worst parents the ones claiming to be the best parents ever with the right ways to have "perfect kids"😢
The fact anyone is going to them for parenting advice is horrifying!
Absolutely. Maybe good advice of raising a psychopath or the next serial killer or at least damage your kids for life.
They probably learned it from other similar people before the advent of UA-cam. Their religiosity plays a huge role in this
I’m not going to lie, this is the first time I really feel like justice is going to be served. Poor kids.
which sucks bc eveyone deserves justice when being treated like this. most cases people are asked if on medicine/drugs or are crazy
@@dananorth6031 I know. Feels like only “important” people get justice.
I completely agree !! This should of been happened remember when she had her son with out a bed for a whole entire year and much more questionable things that were just top tier evil
It wasn't fast enough the trauma those kids have been through
Only yesterday I commented about similarities with Lorry Vallow... I didn't think it was so bad and so similar... Thanks God kids were saved in time 😢
As an abuse survivor myself, it always makes me so upset that these situations need to escalate to this level before anything is done. Way too late for those kids imo. Recovery is really going to be journey and I hope that guilt burns Ruby from the inside out
The upsetting thing is is that she probably doesn't feel guilt because she probably can't feel guilt. From what I read she's facing just 15 years in jail if that happens which isn't enough imo.
Sorry to hear about your abuse :/ people can just really suck sometimes. Hope you're getting the help you need ❤
The thought of her being in jail and probably miserable and afraid is so comforting. I don't usually revel in people's downfalls but this is incredibly gratifying.
She will hopefully be terrorized in jail. Those jailed women would do anything to be home with their children.
@@annem7806 Oh I don't doubt it and I actually look forward to it. She finally will know what it feels like to be on the receiving end and at least it's people her own size. Imagine trying to exert that much control and power over small children your own to boot.. What an awful human being.
Heck yea it is. About time.
@@annem7806there is no proof
Ruby is a sick bitch and I feel no remorse calling her that and Jodi too.
As a Utah resident, it's weird how little our media is actually pushing this story, and I have a feeling their involvement in the church has an influence on the lack of media I've seen on this
The LDS church would cover this up. It's whole teachings are family.
Then you need to use social media to spread it around to as many residents as you can.
The more traffic you create the more the media won’t be able to ignore it.
This is a sad fact and America is proving once again that 2023 is not here.
And why the gossipy Relief Society didn't know anything or the local bishop. And the dad is supposed to be the head of the family with the Mormon priesthood's ability to heal the children of all ills. They also have a ton of money which helps to appear respectable.
@@violette4841 lmfao. Because they don't know everything... They have a ton of money that gets filtered into projects and helping people...
Imagine living in a nice, private, gated community with your own home and access to every resource…..and still letting your kids starve. This is beyond abhorrent.
It's actively hateful. Even if you're not going out of your way to feed your kid there's food in the house, they'd likely cook some pasta or make a sandwich. You'd have to go out of your way to starve them. She is sick and I hope those kids are kept far far away from her
@@AmeliaMastervally not to forget about the dad too. I just hope aunts cousins and sisters aid those kids in their trauma and development
My thoughts exactly . Beautiful home ,children , obviously wealthy yet the children were treated like burdens
@@brianagarcia7387 not burdens they treated like outright indentured servants even serfs
It’s terrible and it takes quite a bit of time for someone to be so malnourished that others can see it too
It’s eerie that they filmed this video while children were being abused inside that home. I don’t even have words to describe how sick I feel about this situation…
The fact that she’s in jail WITHOUT BAIL in UTAH is huge.
Utah has a long history of religious child abuse. The state is more than aware that religious cults have tons of money due to their church's tax free status; so flight risk potenially. Not to mention all the public scrutiny.
i know right?
Ohio
@@JillSmith-q8tit’s Utah
No bail?! 👀
The family is LDS- the father 100% knew and was complicit in what happened. The role fathers play in LDS families would make it HIGHLY suspect if he wasn’t involved in this awfulness. Also, holding these LDS women, without bond, IN UTAH is such a big deal.
He hasn't lived there for a year
@@bree6022 Has he not seen his 2 malnourished kids for a year also? Makes him a crap father either way.
@@blaiseandthebambina he was apparently kept away by mother. I truly don't know
Do you know why they divorced? I find it very interesting BYU let him go in the spring of this year. VERY telling…
@@blaiseandthebambina I think he has Chad, the oldest son.
You know, one of the saddest elements about this story is that the kid went to the neighbors for food and water. Not help. Which goes to show that these kids viewed this as a normal part of their life. These parents are absolutely vile creatures.
Yes! He was worried about them calling the police. The trauma counseling and deprogramming these poor kids are going to need😢
@@IndigobluBeauty Absolutely! 😣This kind of trauma will unfortunately follow them for the rest of their lives. The effects of this trauma will also get passed down to subsequent generations… the damage these people have done is irreparable.
I'm glad the neighbour didn't turn a blind eye and called the police. I just can imagine the amount of therapy those kids will need. 😢
Apparently, the daughter didn’t want to leave with EMTs … didn’t want her mother in trouble.
That is heartbreaking. However, I'm not surprised, given the constant state of fear they lived in. So much so that the fear of upsetting the parents outweighs the idea of freedom.@@auggiedoggiesmommy1734
Seeing teaspill evolve from posting mean girls edits to posting 911 calls has truly been something
This only proves the need for stricter rules regarding children on UA-cam and social media, these kids were abused for YEARS and anyone with a sound mind could tell they were victims of abuse, yet the channel was monetized and the parents were able to have several social media sharing the logic of their abuse... Disgusting
Illinois is the only state to start putting laws into place... so glad they're doing something
Yea it makes me sick
@@djmaxipad6238France as well, I believe other countries have these laws in place the US is behind.
Sadly, the presence of these children on social media has actually led to them being helped, she was an abuser, in the absence of social media, it is likely this may not have been picked up until it was too late.
This woman would abuse, whether in front of a camera or not.
Please note - I 1000000% agree with kids not being on sm tho
Not even just that, these types of “discipline” programs need to be disbanded. Reunification camps as well. It’s all child abuse.
I am dyingggg to see the body cam of their arrest. Ruby and Jodie are DISGUSTING. Those poor kids. Thank god they’re safe now!
It’s out there now
This literally reminds me of a true crime case I saw a few years ago about the Turpin family. The binding of the extremities, the starving, even one child jumping out of a window to get help. This is beyond heartbreaking, and I hope those kids never have to suffer at the hands of their own parents ever again. ❤
It's a mirror case to that one.. for sure. I got dejavu, reading the incident report. So much similarities, it's horrifying to think that there might be more children living like this that we don't know about.
The way the poor child escaping through the window to get help completely reminded me of the Turpin children. Ruby & Jodi are disgusting and don't deserve to be parents. I hope all these children get the help they need.
On a side happier note, that older Turpin child that escaped and got them help is such an impressive young woman (I only know of her due to her social media and interviews). You can tell once she is properly educated she will be a very bright lady who has a lot going for her because she was clearly born with a smart brain that just needs the mold of education. I look her up every once in a while to see how she is doing. Those kids are survivors and we can all learn a lot from their spirit and resilience. On top of all the natural gifts she was given she happens to be a real beauty inside and out. I’m rooting for all of them. It’s a very tough start to life but I just have a feeling they are going to NAIL the rest of their life. Such resiliency at such a young age and a pure heart not over taken by hate which is hard for even the most level headed adults who were not tortured.
Yes!!!! Same!
Those were my exact thoughts too.
There are parents out there who struggle to stay financially afloat and feed their kids. The fact that there are parents out there like this who have all the money to support their kids and feed them properly and they DON’T?! evil. absolutely sinister. I am horrified.
De-monitize ALL family channels until laws are put into place for minor children!!
Yes!!! UA-cam should be vigilant on this
Yes! There are so many cases. We should do a yt petition
Need laws dealing with sharenting in general. Plenty of young people grow up to regret what they themselves shared on the internet. Even grown adults often go on to regret it. Literal children lack even a thin facade of consent regarding the sharing of personal info.
Agreed! The fact that this evil woman gets to live so comfortably because she made money off her own children infuriates me! She can afford lawyers because of the same children she abused. Family channels need to go!
You can’t punish all families for what this family did. I follow a lot of channels that travel with the kids & have the kids on their channel that are great parents.
As soon as you said duct tape.. I got sick.. this woman was probably almost on the brink of unaliving her children… I’m glad she’s been caught and that her child had the courage to climb out of a WINDOW to get help
everyone creating and working on the google doc for Shari gives me some hope for humanity. when there is so much evil in this situation, it’s amazing to see so many people step up and help do what’s right.
what’s the link? if we have videos? thanks in advance
And this is why we need laws for families on social media. They had a platform for years
9:13 "his wounds are in need of immediate care" my heart absolutely broke hearing that. These poor kids that it had to get to this point for Ruby to be stopped.
What are the odds that they said they were "homeschooling" and that's why these kids weren't in school. I'm so tired of these cases, they're so utterly enraging and heartbreaking. Kids deserve so much better from our country than this. 😞
Yes they were in private and then public and then homeschooled. Mom lost her mind over a TikTok dance lyric and pulled them out. But really it was to isolate the kids so they could do what they wanted.
@@kristinesharp6286 I was homeschooled and so many of these horrific abuse cases include homeschool as an isolation tactic. It's so dark.
This country needs homeschool oversight asap. Every time there's a case like this (which is SO frequent), I always imagine how much harder it would have been to isolate and abuse these poor babies if they were required to see mandated reporters on a regular basis. How awful.
Kids deserve so much better. 😞
Those poor children, you know it’s bad when they have to escape through a window to get help. My heart breaks for them 💔
Especially knowing it was Russell that escaped and Eve was scared to death as well
13:50 the fact they had the audacity to give parenting advice and influence other parents is horrifying, hope the kids are in better hands
The fact that anyone would seriously look to a complete stranger on YT for genuine advice is even more horrifying
I hope they get out of foster care soon and stay together. Foster care can be just as bad as the home the kids are taken from :/
@@Beelzebubby91 I'm reminded of that family that kept their 12 children (think it was 12) in similar conditions until the one daughter escaped and they placed all the children in foster care which resulted in two of the underage girls being S.A. by the foster father.
I'm glad I lived before youtuube. My adoptive parents did seminars in the90s about how they fixed my autism and adhd. They did not. It was abuse.
I‘m sorry this happened to you!
shari is such a legend. i can’t imagine growing up in that kind of environment, but she managed to get out of it and she seems like such a sweet person. i hope she and her siblings will be able to heal from all of this
Horrifying. I’m so glad they have no bail, and tbh Kevin shouldn’t be around those kids either-he’s just as bad. It NEVER should have gotten to this point.
No he shouldn’t be around them because how do you not know your kids are being tied up and starved
Absolutely agree!
@@dimes5414exactly
They've been separated since early June, he's been living out of state.
@@sarahjhigh5 he was complicit in abusing these kids before they separated. Also the cop said his place of residence is in the same city Ruby lives in, he’s also a professor at BYU I don’t think he lives out of state.
The police scanner thing brought tears to my eyes so fast. These people are disgusting. They deserve the worst.
I read the full article. What these children have gone through, I was crying. It’s so terrible. Praying for the children ❤
You praying to the same god that allowed this to happen ?
@@FalconMidgetGod doesn’t owe humans anything it’s the acts of these humans that caused this not God
@@FalconMidgetyall athiests cant live your life without disrespecting ppls beliefs
@@FalconMidgetGod gave that child the courage and strength to climb out a window and ask a neighbor for help.🙏🏼🕊
Where can u read the article
Her “sisters“ are 100% accomplices in my opinion. They have watched this abuse happen for years and only now decided to speak up because there’s a huge scandal happening and they know they‘re gonna get dragged into it anyway.
And her parents.
The father wants to keep his kids together. Well how about you and your wife just stop abusing them?!?! Then you wouldn't have to worry about them being split up... I hope these kids get placed with other family members who will love these kids instead of abusing them.
This woman could have very well been abusing him also. My mother did to my Dad to the point where she threatened to kill us if he left or said anything to anyone. She physically assaulted him and myself every day, head butted a door knob and rang the police and said it was him so that the police wouldn't believe a thing he said. This could be the same situation. Can't lump him in until you hear all the facts.
@@Erica-lp6bl you do have a point. I don't really trust that he is an innocent party, but I understand that situations like you described happen every day.
@@Erica-lp6blthe dad was with her at the time of her denying them food. My dad was abused by my stepmom as was I… I still don’t forgive him for allowing it and do not need to.
He needs jail too, because there’s no way he wasn’t complicit in this as well
No. Bonnie or Julie or Elle use and exploit children with their own UA-cam channels. Then the children will probably be subjected to more trauma.
As a parent, this is truly heartbreaking. Denying basic necessities like food and water to children makes me so enraged. Like how?! My baby cries and I would do anything to make sure he is fed and healthy. The physical abuse is next level disgusting. Jail/prison is not a friendly place for child abusers. I hope karma is swift and every bit as relentlessly cruel as she was to her own kids.
I’ve actually watched her vlogs for years before she became huge . I always thought her meals for the kids were so little on their plate, especially for her oldest son Chad, he was around 12 and he dreamed about being as tall as his dad. You can’t grow if you’re not eating anything - That’s what I thought at that time.
Ruby has some kind of eating disorder so no wonder she’s not feeding her kids.
Putting her teenage daughters on accutane which is very strong and harmful meds even tho teenagers gets pimples like any other teenager have.
Another video is when Ruby is angry at Julie because she puked in school, Ruby says she is lying because she is bullied at school and films when Julie is at home crying.. so many incidents I’ve been baffled with..
I really think if any children are being monetized the home life should be checked frequently by authorities/ child services to make sure everything is ok. I feel horrible for these children.
Or maybe people shouldn’t be able to monetize their children in the first place…
I think Emmymade who doesn’t allow her kids to be on camera at all (apart from their hands or voices occasionally, if they helped her with the project, which is rare) is a good example for how to create content if you have kids.
Anne Reardon from how to cook that is also a good example, she does allow her kids on camera to taste things, and now that they are older, they sometimes test gadgets with her if her husband isn’t able to, but they are incidental to her content, which is about baking and food science. It seems like they wanted to be in her videos, because she did let them make their own channel (never watched it so do t know if it did well). Either of those approaches are okay with me, because the kids are not the focus and they could make their content if they had never had children.
I also think that no parenting advice should be allowed unless the person is a professional, and if they are, their kids have NO reason to be in their videos. Social media companies need to take more responsibility when it comes to “momfluencers” and the like, imho.
@@TheBLGL Yeah, I don't think that every bit of children needs to be completely banned from the internet. And like you pointed out, there are responsible ways to do it. Kim from the WADS shows her kids a bit more but also 95% of her content doesn't have them in it and it doesn't feel like the kids are what drive her content at all. While it may be a bit more than I would ever do if I were a parent I can see it in a gray area of it. Unlike channels like 8 Passengers where it was always way too much, way too far and full on exploitation of their kids.
What is so hard for people to understand about this? Them being on UA-cam has absolutely zero bearing on the abuse. It would have happened whether they were on UA-cam or not. Derrrrp
Like the LaBrant family they don’t see t right with me either
I'm so glad these two monsters got arrested without bail. I hope they will be put in prison for a long time and I hope their inmate in prison will treat them like they did to their children. Ruby's husband should get arrested too. As a father, he should protect his kids. These parents don't deserve to have kids.
UA-cam needs to ban all family vlogging that exploits children and portrays themselves as a "happy" family. Shame on them for making money using their kids.
as someone from utah, i’m not shocked. ppl have a real “hush hush” mentality about a lot of things here. i’m sure more people knew about the treatment of these kids than we know
A state full of Uber religious people hiding abuse secrets? Religion would never have such hypocrisy! /sarcasm
It’s a state with low morals, despite the locals there saying it’s high.
@@SS7dagoatagreed. I grew up in Mormonism and remember how long fasting sessions were promoted to both adults and children-- using heavy authoritarian parenting. So glad I escaped that cult.
@@amygreen758 unfortunate to hear that, the truth will come out tho
@@amygreen758 what.? You only fast for a day and it's optional for children. If you where treated that way I'm afraid that was your parents not the church.
If UA-cam doesn't change rules for these "family vlogs". I don't know what else needs to happen.
If they give these kids to Kevin I will lose what little faith I have left in this corrupt child services. There is no way in hell he did not know a 12 year old was not suffering. If a stranger could tell and call the police then why did Kevin not call? If the kids where being held from him then he should have gotten a good lawyer to fight to see his kids. It is not that hard! This is so frustrating as we all saw this years ago but the system failed these kids! PERIOD! IMO
He knew and was a participant
He is not innocent
He divorce her and took Chad
But left the other 4 behind 😢😢
My guess is that he will be arrested soon enough. It'll take time to build a case against him since he wasn't on premises at the time of the incident.
There is no record of divorce. He was out of the home. Maybe the therapist vilified him just like she did with the cops to the little kids. They are not to be around people it’s not safe for others. Or some such nonsense. Kevin should not get them any time soon. I see a lifetime movie about all this. @@laurafabianmarrero
I’ve known kids who should have been taken away but their parents were “really good talkers”
Well BYU fired him in the Spring and the reviews on him are pretty horrible and make him sound just like her in terms of demeanor and personality. I feel like he may be the male carbon copy of her, that’s my fear.
Ruby reminds me of the mean mom from the movie Coraline. She puts up a front to make it seem as if she’s innocent and as if she was parenting “correctly”, but behind closed doors she was a legit monster!
prime malignant narcissist....she deserves life in prison for doing that to her children and advocating other people abuse their kids too.
yup, she's motivated by domination/control. all she's missing is a tiny mustache
The thing that saddens me the most is to know that a child is the reason this finally came to an end when it could have been prevented years ago by adults, who's job it was to protect them! I feel like people especially of authority who knew or didn't try to stop it should stop being charged in cases like this. The amount of cases that are preventable is disheartening yet continue to happen as we hear what they should of, would of, could of, yet didn't do. And continue to not change after the fact repeating the same issues! 😢
this was WAY overdue and Russell is so BRAVE for his actions
Shari is such a strong and courageous young woman ! It takes time to see through parental BS and abuse and even then it takes a lot of strength to come out publicly and even ask for help in taking down an abusive mother. She had to put her feelings aside and act to help her younger siblings and that takes a very strong will when you’ve grown up in such an environment.
Sometimes I really love the internet, and how people on the internet are coming together to help Sherri is wonderful, this is already probably so extremely hard on her already to have help when she needs it like that? Even from complete strangers? It must feel very relieving to her to have people in her corner so vocally
L10😮😮
I remember a couple years ago when I first came across 8passengers, the hate I saw Sherri get was insane, a freakin teenager! One video after another, making fun of her. Just awful. She’s the one coming together for those kids & will most likely, hopefully, get custody now that she’s an adult. She’s a good girl who got dealt bad parents.
The dad absolutely has to know. There were two kids who were kept long enough to become emaciated. Where did he think those two of his kids were for so long?
Ok so now that everyone is aware. Let’s use our internet FORCE to keep applying pressure to questionable cases, until the children are safe.
This is so heartbreaking. Little Eve is in fostercare, little Julie who struggles with friends and school is in fostercare, little Abbie who was so good is now in fostercare and little russell is now in fostercare. Chad and Shari are helpless teenagers studying, they still have to find somewhere to go after college. They can't help their siblings. My little brother is in care. I'm 22 in school I can't get him out of there. Please please see the heartbreak in this. This isnt a celebration for these kidsm
What kind of sick shit were they doing to these poor innocent children!!!!
DUCT TAPE?! OPEN WOUNDS?! I knew they were crazy but this….this is past crazy
Family knows something is wrong for 3 years, 3 long years.......and yet the kids need to rescued themselves.... can't imagine what would happen to those poor kids if no one escape.
What an amazing little boy to be brave and instinctive enough to climb out a window and run to a neighbor for help not only for himself but for his sibling. God please wrap your arms around these children amen
Amen 🙏🏼
Where was God before? Give me a break.
@@rachelnesbitt8126Exactly. I wonder if ‘God’ was okay with all the abuse since they had to suffer so long. These ridiculous religious comments are so annoying.
‘God’ wanted them to be abused for a reason. It’s a cannon event
Shouldn't he have wrapped his arms around them b4 this happened 2 them?By the way,what is wrapping his arms around them do?How does it help? I can't believe people really believe the nonsense they spew.I ,mean don't they really listen 2 what they're saying? Religion really has made asses out of decent people.
Thank you for the amazing update and how quickly you brought this to us!!! Immensely appreciated! My heart goes out to the family and I'm very proud of all of us that flagged content' sent videos to authorities, got CPS involved...it may have not been the cause for the arrest but it does help a lot when building a case against the adults in this situation.
I went to the military school since kindergarten until I graduate and I was raised in a strict conservative household by a teacher (mom) and a marine (dad) and I NEVER went through for something like that, it's just horrifying
Those poor babies 😢😢😢
Their own mother
Wow I didn’t know they had military school for kids that young. What was that like?
I was raised in a fundamentalist Christian (not Mormon, thankfully) house with strict parents, and I never went through that, but the emotional abuse and neglect is still harmful. I’m 41 and still wind up crying when doing yoga because of my childhood. Just because it wasn’t as bad doesn’t make it okay, or acceptable. Every child deserves a loving family free of brainwashing, bullying, and all types of abuse.
My dad to this day will use the fact his ex-girlfriend was in foster care because her parents were so bad to say that he wasn’t so bad. It’s not a competition, and two things can be both true (and bad) at once.
"Military school since kindergarten" makes me question this
@@nukeputin420he may mean 1st grade. The lowest age for military school is age 7. He may have started school late.
these poor children don’t deserve this. i’m horrified and i’m glad they finally got the help they deserved YEARS ago.
I sincerely hope that the kids are provided therapy. That's not discipline, that's torture.
Wait. Her siblings & extended family said that they’ve “kept quiet on the subject” for THREE YEARS, “for the sake of her children?”
How does keeping quiet for multiple years protect the kids? If they really wanted to do something for the “sake of her children,” they would have yelled it from the rooftops, that Ruby Franke is physically, emotionally, and mentally abusing her children as a result of her warped idea of discipline & tough love. If they wanted to help those kids, they would have used their own significant platforms to do & say whatever it took to get them removed from her custody. They would have contacted authorities & fought to become legal guardians of their nieces & nephews. When has silence ever helped an abused child? When has not drawing attention to the abuse ever benefited the “sake” of the child? But, they expect you to believe they had good reasons for doing nothing? They’re flat out admitting that this abuse has been ongoing for at least the last 3 years, that they knew it was happening for at least the last 3 years, and that doing nothing about it was in the best interest of the kids involved. Kids they claim to love.
That’s bullsh¡t. Ruby & her dedicated followers helped her siblings rise to prominence. The people who supported Ruby, supported *them* too. They benefited from Ruby’s business associates, from her company, and from the plethora of creative ways she turned her family into a commodity. They needed her to be successful, so that *they* in turn could find success. And they witnessed this abuse - year, after year - while doing absolutely nothing. As far as I’m concerned, they all need to be investigated. If they were willing to turn a blind eye to their sister’s abuse, maybe it’s because they have secrets of their own. Maybe it was just about money, i don’t know. But if you know that children are being seriously abused for 3 or more years & you do nothing, you’re at the very least complicit in the abuse, and at worst you’re an accomplice. Law enforcement needs to figure out which is true. They waited until a starving child broke free from restraints his mom used to keep him tied to a bed, then climb through a window & run to a nearby stranger’s house asking for food & water, before they said a single word about Ruby’s psychotic behavior. An abused 12 year old boy had to find the courage to seek help on his own because *EVERY* adult in his life failed him, including his father. They should all be ashamed.
They kept quiet as to not make the allegations public. They were doing all they could behind the scenes. They didn't just do nothing like you're implying.
Soooo this seems a lot like it's up to the level of the Turpin kids..... they where also malnourished, abused and kept against their will chained up in the home. My prayers go out to those kids so they can heal.
That what I first thought when I heard the details
Hearing such similarities in the cases makes me sick thinking of the number of other houses just in Utah (not picking on Utah, just in general) this has to be happening in.
I remember in an older vlog how one of their older daughters Abby would end up getting alot of stomach aches which could be the result of the abuse that was going on at home. Usually kids who experience abuse etc at home can develop headaches or issues with their stomach
The child jumping out of the window and running to the neighbors for food and water immediately brought me back to the case of the Hart family. Absolutely heartbreaking. Ruby and Jodi are sick. I pray justice is served and that they are never allowed to harm another child again. Praying for these children as the embark on their long roads towards recovery.
Kevin, was there when Ruby was doing these ridiculous abusive acts to their children. Why didn’t he step in and stop it?😢. He is just as guilty!
You know the situation is bad when they just showed it on the news. In Greece.
I don't know about women's jails, but i just hope they are as unforgiving with people who harm kids like it said to be on men's jails.
Oh trust me, women's jails too. Mother's who haven't been able to see or hold their children and babies for years, who may have had theirs taken from them due to poverty before their arrests, or other circumstances, hearing what Ruby did to all of hers' while she was rich and in a good neighborhood... they're not gonna let her off easy
@@Starburst514that makes me happy
It's even worse in a women's jail.
those mama bears would rip her apart if they knew tbh.
Where I'm from she would be in isolation in jail for HER safety from others
They say the father wants to get the children and keep them all together!! He is guilty too!! He went along with the abuse for years!! He should not get these children!! Lock him up too!!
I hope after this, UA-cam really cracks down with these Family Accounts. This is so sad and this was going on for too long. Why UA-cam allows these channels to go on is still so sad. I hope those kids get the help they need
The thought of her being in jail and probably miserable and afraid is so comforting.
Full disclosure, listening to this all made me cry for those kids. For so many years so many people have been trying so hard to help them and those kids have finally gotten some form of justice
Same 😢
This should be a wake-up call to UA-cam. How many of us have flag certain videos and why years worth and they still didn't do anything. Will UA-cam listen now? I think UA-cam hold some responsibility in this as well.
I bet all of my money that Jodi and ruby will turn on each other to try and save their own skins.
I will never understand people that abuse children.
I can’t even speak about it. It’s stomach turning. I hope the kids are okay, poor babies….
I just want to say that these children have gone through so much and stuff that wasn't filmed and posted. I can't image. When she was encouraging the daughter to want to date the brother I felt sick. These kids still have some light in their eyes.....I pray and hope that they find happiness because they truly deserve it.
That happened?!?!
Daughter date her brother? Can you tell us more, I wasn't aware of this
@@KrislonRshe was telling one of her daughter to date her brother
And pretended It was a joke
@@laurafabianmarreroew so she wanted them to lie? This is deep….sounds like predator behavior
@@jojo_rising is gross
She even stole shari Life saving
She wanted to go far away to college
She left her with no other choice but BYU cause It was free cause dad was a teacher
And she make It look like It was shari choice
But is because all her college funds was gone
They are the ultimate Karen’s. Only thinking of themselves, living in luxury, while tying their kids to their beds. Not even feeding them or giving them water. What. The. Hell. She probably would of killed one of her kids, if he didn’t crawl out of that window.
This literally broke my heart. How can you be so cruel to your own blood??? I hope she rots in jail, anyone that abuses or neglects their children is nothing but a scumbag
I think the worst part is knowing that this will follow these kids for the rest of their lives. Even if they emotionally heal and move past all of this, they will always be known for what happened. Any time they apply for a job, when they apply to colleges, if they ever have to do a criminal record check. It was all documented online. Even looking up the kids names shows scores of articles about this. My heart truly goes out to them for the rest of their lives and I hope their path to healing is straightforward
The extended family saying that they kept their silence for 3 years for the sake of the children is. Certainly a choice.
Umm it’s true though? You want them to plaster all I’ve rather internet that those children are in a bad situation? They were dealing with it BEHIND the scenes, from what WE couldn’t see which makes more sense than plastering it on the internet
@@purecuteness7729 I'm sure that really made the abuse better. Them keeping quiet for 3 while years totally helped, why did these kids even need the police or CPS when they had their family to not protect them?
@@purecuteness7729 no I'm not saying for them to plaster on the internet what is happening, but even if they did its not as if this situation was private it was VERY public and actively speaking out about it may have had the situation resolved faster. The way they are making it sound in their own words is as though they were just trying to keep the waters calm essentially but when you are witnessing the abuse of children and have the power to directly intervene, choosing to "keep your silence" is in a way allowing for the abuser to continue on with no consequences. They were directly aware of the treatment of these children and chose not to intervene which is why I said it was certainly a choice.
Can we all remember this is a very SAD day. 4 children were taken into care and if u see my other comment, I was abused by rich parents too but the foster care system is ugly. None of their aunts took them in, same as mine. The whole family is corrupt on different levels but four innocent children have lost all their privilege and are now traumatised foster children, all their life chances and money and security that their toxic family gave them , is gone. I was raised in a family like this, ended up years in the system. My family are still there. But they now judge me for drinking etc, I am truly alone with my brothers. I hope these kids will be ok , and I hope to god some family step up and take these kids in x
Isn't she the one that boasted about teaching her very young daughter "consequences" by refusing to drop off the lunch she forgot to take to school?
Yes, the Same Creepy & Evil Egg-Donor Who Pretty Much Told Little Eve's Teacher Too Bad, and She Did Not Care if This Precious Child Went Hungry All Day!!
Obviously, Also Starving Her Own Innocent and Vulnerable Children at Home for Many Months Now:(
Thank goodness the children are finally safe.
I can’t wait for the body cam footage to be released to see the look on Ruby’s face when she opened the door to the cops knowing she was finally caught.
This kind of shit happens way more often than we like to think. And because its so awful to think about people push it away and we let the cycle continue. It shouldnt have taken this level of abuse to make something happen.
If this ‘father ‘ gets custody of these children, the state has unequivocally failed to do their jobs. There is no way he was not aware of what was happening. He’s not innocent - put him away as well .
The family kept quiet for 3 years to protect the kids? Disgusting , they need to be charged with aiding and abetting, horrible people
If he had not jumped out the window and gone to the neighbors, who knows how long this would have continued and how much more suffering would have been inflicted. This type of abuse has lead to tragic and horrific deaths of children. Why do we have laws and organisations if they turn a blind eye when *everyone* is begging them to help these kids. I'm so glad they're safe, and that's honestly because that little boy was brave and strong. He saved himself and his siblings
I know you said if sounds like a horror movie, but it reminds me of true crime documentaries where people knew, but nothing or too little was done.
It probably would have ended up at the same place as the Turpin's/Vallow-Daybell/Stauch cases. Thankfully Russell was able to escape and get help
Thank goodness the neighbor called the police. I hope they put both of these women in prison. Ruby, was so abusive to her children. Looks like her Mormon family did nothing!
Holy fucking shit. I knew this lady was bad, but this is a whole new level. I feel for all of the victims in this situation and I hope they receive justice for this and can finally be safe. The government should have checked in months ago, my heart breaks for them. I’m so happy she was arrested and is being held without bail, hopefully she is held accountable for her actions and the victims receive some form of closure. I hope the father doesn’t get custody because if he was a good father, he wouldn’t have let any harm come to those children.
This just tears my heart apart. I am a mother, I am considered an adoptive mother to almost all of my kids friends. My home is ALWAYS a safe haven where people feel loved, safe, welcome and appreciated. I could NEVER NEVER treat my kids, both genetic and adoptive, like this. All of my kids are now grown adults who still love to spend time with me and in my home because they all matter and are important.Any time my sons bring people into my home I tell them that they are allowed to consider my home a second home. This is just unfathomable to my brain to ever treat kids like these people have done. How do you do this to children??!! My heart hurts so bad for these kids. I want to cry for these children.
Poor kids!! I’m so glad that one of the kids was brave enough to climb out the window. May God be with them through this traumatizing experience.
“Held without bail” I love it, I’m here for this loco woman’s downfall. Shame on her, makes me so angry. If she makes it to prison, she will absolutely not last 😂
This is truly disgusting. I hope they never get custody of their children. I hope the other woman never sets foot near another child.
Some people shouldn't have kids and she's a perfect example. The kids didn't choose to be born. It's a parent's primary job to feed, house, support and protect their children. She did the opposite. Disgusting.
Children are allowed to give statements in custody cases at the age of 12. There are multiple children that can share their experiences. Kevin will not receieve custody if they mention any of his involvement in the abuse.
I hope so. He was complicit to all of it imo. His statement about “fatherly care” is sickening
Shari reaching out to collect evidence is so smart imo. I know for a fact there are people who have been following this family and their associates for years and tracking all their suspicious behaviour. I'm sure the community has so much evidence that they're more than happy to provide if it means these monsters are put away
Everyone that supported her and backed up her parenting needs to be investigated too
I waited 6 years for this moment, but *fuck I was not prepared for the charges*
Their dad should be arrested too. He has a responsibility to keep his kids safe and fed and he failed and has no excuse.
Good all the adults involved need to be incarcerated for a very long time this is disgusting there is absolutely no way the father and any other adult didn't know what was going on lock them up and throw away the key.
Father needs to be arrested, as an accessory to child abuse.
The fact this is shocking to people is shocking to me, this has been going on years and I said years ago that if she is happy to show the abuse she is showing imagine what she is doing off camera…..what was on camera was bad but I KNEW that worse was happening….the only shocking thing about this is how long it took to take those children to safety.
It’s just gotta be that they are suspicious of a starving wounded 12 year old having a weapon. Would he be able even to lift a gun? And, why would he attack people he sought refuge from? In our town the police keep bringing back my neighbor who keeps bringing him back from his aunt’s and brother’s. His stepmother doesn’t let him out of his room and doesn’t feed him. People have been trying to help for 4 years but the dad is a firefighter. Soon he’ll be old enough to run to where they can’t find him.
They got cocky. After the first CPS visit didn't show enough for an investigation or arrest, they thought they could get away with anything.
Remember that these women thought the abuse they inflected on their kids was good parenting. When CPS left, they probably thought that was a stamp of approval that they were good parents.
The sisters and others need to be looked at for charges of conspiracy to commit child abuse by covering up what was going on.
The Dad should not have custody, he needs to be arrested
Yes he knew and was very participant of the abuse
The video where she said « you lost privilege for food » is terrifying like wtf
I love that you show your evidence or citing your source (when you can) it makes me trust your channel WAY more
This is heartbreaking on a whole other level. The children need all the support and help. These people are monsters, including the mediocre dad.
