- Video shows Ruby Franke’s son after he escaped Jodi Hildebrandt’s home on August 30, 2023. The 12-year-old, who was emaciated, broke free from being tied up and rushed to a neighbor’s home while covered in duct tape. The young boy asked Hildebrandt’s neighbors to take him to the nearest police station. Franke and Hildebrandt were arrested later that day. The duo pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse in connection to this incident. Law&Crime’s Sierra Gillespie breaks down all the evidence from her son’s brave escape.

I don’t understand why the prosecutor only wants Ruby to do four years. The amount of time she does should be up to her children.
I just can't pass through this. Knowing that these filth got their verdict & punishment, when is Kevin, the father charged? If he insist that he hasn't seen any of his children, yet have contact with his wife, he should still be charge for neglect. Remember, he wanted to get his oldest daughter arrested for accusing her of stealing things in Ruby's house, that to me is a Redflag of just how ridiculous this guy is.
Did they get 15 or 50 years? Was hard to tell what she said
Dude I can't stop crying
Omggggg
More strangers have cried for these children and worried about their welfare then their own parents
You mean mother, not parents.
@@-MattMcCauley- we don;t know what the father knew. he had to know somehting imo
I dunno how many times I heard this neighbours 911 call, but always, always cry. ❤❤ I'm glad R saw first responders cry ... that he knew they cared.
@@bojohannesen4352 you're laughing at how thin his legs are?
@@hollystiener16 why? when a controlling woman takes charge of everything as she obviously did, maybe he was meek enough to just trust, because usually 'mother knows best correct'?
To that neighbor who was comforting that boy, you are a hero. That was probably the first actual love and comfort that boy has felt in his life.
Sickening that they got away with what they've done to him and his siblings, both may be released from prison after only 4 years.
@@mikal94thats IF she makes it out alive....the ladies watch the news in there. She isnt a woman. She is a monster. A demon. Some of those ladies are in jail and missing their kids...i hope she dont make it to trial honestly. I dont like sharing our air with demons!
@@mikal94 they were trying to focus on a positive part, but you just couldn't resist dragging everyone right back down, could you.
Indeed; he’s a true example of kindness and humanity. He saved those kids’ lives.
So glad he got love like he always deserved! Poor kiddos xx
"what's going on son? Have a seat there" this guy is a hero
How he was so compassionate but non chalant, like not reacting emotionally until he was on the phone, that was the best thing because if he'd been different he might have scared him off. He just talked to him like a baseball coach. That was amazing.
Not sure I could have kept myself from jumping in the car and going over to see his mother!
He should be honored for his help.
She need to be locked up for life . People don’t ever really recover from this kind of trauma . I feel so bad for these children .
Exactly. They will get out one day. Those children will carry the trauma and scars for the rest of their lives. They're going to need a lot of therapy.
Don't forget about the children's father...... completely negligent. He shouldn't be left off the hook.
He doesn't ask for "help". He asks for two "favors" and then reduces it to just one "favor". "Favor" instead of "help" shows he's aware he's asking for something without being able to offer anything in return. He's been taught not to expect anything without it being transactional. How very sad. This breaks my heart.
The young boy was so polite. Incredible with the conditions he was living in.
I saw that too so sad glad those holes are gone!
Me and my siblings were the same way we wouldn’t ask other ppl for food or water if we were dying
the little personality completely crushed before it could even develop
Help shouldn’t be transactional either… but having been formerly Mormon.. the reason he used “favor” is because asking for “help” is begging and begging means you’re lazy. That’s LDS culture. Well.. UT LDS anyway
Seriously should been charged with attempted murder
That kid had days left
This! Because guaranteed had that little boy gone back to that building he and his sister would have died. And Ruby knew and allowed it.
@keychain3039 l have no doubt they would and then it would be another missing child's case
I think he had quite a bit longer left than that (I mean he could still walk), but I agree that's where it was going.
@@firetruck988 he had a blood infection. he would’ve been lucky to make it another week.
@@firetruck988blood poisoning doesn’t give months or years…. Only Days…. You obviously are clueless. Even in hospital if you get Sepsis (blood poisoning) you stand to loose your life.
The woman comforting this child showed him more affection than his own mother.
When she bent down😩😩 My heart bro , mother mode immediately.
he doesnt't have a mother
The kindly neighbour's voice is so caring and emotional. It made me cry hearing how he described the child's condition to the operator. Bless that man for all he did that day.❤
And the other neighbour getting food and water and comforting the child.
The fact they could SMELL the FLESH is horrifying….the amount of pain those children must’ve been in is indescribable
😢 that is horrible. The duct tape and how thin they were
My heart sank when he said that......HORRIBLE
😭😭😭😭 poor babies I pray 🙏 these kids will at some point heal take a very long time
This could so easily have been a murder if that brave wee boy didn't risk harsh punishment by doing for help.
I am surprised he didn't go into septic shock.
He wasn’t far from sepsis, blood poisoning.
The woman asking if he has any allergies to nuts broke me. With that one scentence she showed more love and care for that boy than his mom ever did.
And how sweet that she even thought of that...😢
I was about to comment the same 😢 so heartbreaking
this is what got me too :( and i think she said she gave him candy or something in that bag im just so so glad he made his way to them
She was so distressed, you could tell how much she was freaking out. The phone call made me cry and watching her made me cry too. Poor woman to witness this, but I’m glad this boy made it to a house with a couple like this to help him.
Joyanna9433... I agree
My only question:
How many people watched her brag about withholding food from her starving children on her UA-cam channel and didn't report her for child abuse? Actually shameful.
There were multiple people that reported and came forward about it. Exactly one of the reasons she was already on the phone with her lawyer when she answered the door.
EVERYONE was reporting her.
I'm pretty sure everyone watching called CPS.
You guys serious WTF?! Well the system really dropped the ball.. again.. actually shameful.
What a strong kid to basically save himself and siblings from that whole situation.
@@QuinnGIn1080pthat was Hildebrandt on the phone, not Franke. Their mother was actually not on the property when the girl was found.
That “it’s personal business” is for sure the sign that Ruby, if not both parents, and probably Jodi taught those kids that what happens within the home and within the family stays here. He was alert enough to know he needs to go to a police station but he was very careful to reveal it to “outsiders”. This is heart wrenching. Shame on the adults in these kids’ life.
Yes, very much this. The poor child.
Unfortunately it’s a church thing too , I had many friends part of that specific religion and said they were told what happens is personal business.
He thought he had done something wrong. He wanted to turn himself in not his mother and Jodi. He thought it was Jail or torture and he chose jail twice.
you know it's bad when the ems staff are crying and the police officer keeps his shades on to hide the fact he is as well
We saw the ems lady upset but you're assuming that's why the cop kept his on.

Seeing how skinny his legs are is very disturbing omg
I know, hearing about it is definitely not the same as seeing it
The photos of his actual wounds are horrific 😢
@@MrAbdu-qm3mfLegit.. like I knew it was bad but it doesn't become *real* to you 100% until you see it (obviously I believed it..but wow... that's beyond shocking) 😢
Not even just his legs. 9:05 his neck, all sunken in. So emaciated 😔
I cried when I saw how thin they were.
The dad wants them back, but I don’t trust him either. The man left his kids completely for a year just because that Jodi woman told him to. What kind of father just goes no contact with their own children just bc some questionable therapist tells you to. And those women better not get early release. They almost killed those kids.
Extremely religious brainwashed people
He’s evil don’t let him near those kids!!!!! Ugh 💔💔💔
Don't trust him either.
He seriously should’ve also been charged
Yep, I remember some UA-cam clips of their family channel and he is just as bad.
Seeing how much luxury Ruby and Jodi are living in, while denying these children basic necessities, makes me want to vomit. Just disgusting.
Have you met anyone in the Republican Congress? They deny food to All Americans, and Healthcare, and Housing, and Education
Both of them would have continued the abuse until one or both children had died from it. Just beyond evil. That little boy is a hero.
Saw video of R picking up trash in back of house and had gravestones. Hope they checked that all out...
Where are the attempted murder charges?
@@kerrybarrera3410 EXACTLY
Indeed. The outcome could so easily have been murder. He saved not only his own life, but his sisters too. I think Rubi and Jodi got off lightly to be honest.
@@yeesh9215 is his name not Russel? I thought that’s what their son’s name was.
The man who opened his door also opened his heart - and he LISTENED to that 12 year old boy!!!! The neighbor and his wife are angels 🥺
I wonder if the nice couple have been able to stay in touch with the children, or at least R. I hope they have been able to give the kids lots of hugs so they know that strangers love them and won't hurt them.
The neighbors did everything right. The called 911, sat outside with the child, got down on his level and spoke in a calming tone.
They saved those children’s lives. ❤
This man was truly angel helping traumatize boy .
Or they are decent humans like many of us watching would be
How does this level of cruelty give only 15 years in prison? It just doesn't seem right.
I think it was up to 15 years for each of the four counts of child abuse so it’s like 60 years.
@@CensoredCrazed Hope so.
I'm pretty sure the other ladies in the prison will make it seem much longer
This is probably the first time he's been treated like an actual child in months 😢.
Ever!😢
Imagine being upset that your children’s lives were saved
Definition of evil
Oh but if you understood you would have empathy….???? Yes, I understand and have empathy for the innocent children.
Omg this.
They are upset they got caught.
Well the kids were being rescued from them so-
hearing “take me to the nearest police station” in that little baby voice absolutely broke me 😭 i just wanna hug him and tell him he did the right thing, those poor children

Ruby always came Up as wrong
And Kevin always rather be somewhere else but with his kids
His schools trips were an excuse to get away
He spend more ay work than home
He was so polite and respectful when asking for help. Those poor kids.
Ruby is SO sinister. Just the sheer fact that she knew exactly what she was doing to those CHILDREN with a silent ominous grin is the most disturbing thing I have ever seen😳
For this little boy, to go out and trust a stranger after the cruelties done to him by his mother and traitorous behavior of his father is so brave . May he find peace
Home owner went from annoyed to heart broken in a split second. You never know what someone is going through.
Don’t know about annoyed. More wary as to who this kid was & why he was knocking on his door
I think he was just a little leery at first. You never know nowadays
He was curious asking what's going on but not annoyed at all.
@@garfield2439yeah nowadays someone might use a kid to bait or something. You can’t trust anything anymore. It’s sad
@@therealz360z7 not the vibe I got but you could be right
The way he said “ it’s personal” broke me. He didn’t want to blab to neighbors how bad his mom was!
Classic conditioning of a victim. That's how she kept it hidden for so long.
That’s what his mom taught him no doubt
That's that "What goes on in this house, stays in this house." and "Dont tell in-house business to outside ppl." talk. Smdh
@@thisismyspout Exactly. That's how they get the kids to keep quiet about it.
@@zandrafalcone1359 At least now she's going to be locked in a small room. See how she likes it.
The boy must be very intelligent. At that young age, it's difficult to go against your parents. He experienced these horrors probably all his life, but still realized something was wrong and went for help.
His wounds were worse than what the medic explained - the area where the handcuffs were shackled cut into his skin & muscle nearly down to the bone. They were so deep!! It’s so sad! These women are evil! To make things worse, they both felt justified in their actions & thought they did nothing wrong after their arrest & being in jail for awhile. Ruby never once expressed guilt or remorse for her abuse or love for her kids in her journal throughout their abuse. It was all evil torture. 20/20 did an excellent story on this case on Friday & shows how this situation was much worse than we thought.
The smell was rotting flesh and when they were taking off the tape his flesh came off with it. These two women are monsters.
possible gangrene / sepsis .. no telling how long he would have lived had he not escaped.
I guarantee it was infectious, that creates a big smell sometimes. Especially with no airflow, probably sweating, too no doubt
They also stated they put cayenne pepper / honey on the wounds with the duct tape ... sounds like a form of torture to inflict more pain on the kid =/
Proof ?
Its nmedical tape not duct
Big mama bear energy from that lady neighbour. Distracted him during the call when the guy cried, got a banana and told him to take small bites so he didn’t get sick and pacing in justified fury. Appropriate reactions all. Thank goodness SOMEONE was exhibiting normal,caring behaviour so soon after he bravely went for help.
They both treated him with respect and dignity unlike the monsters he was with beforehand. Those neighbors are angels
@@halobaby0331they were both wonderful
Agreed. Great way to put it
Well said. Yes he only had to go to the second house to get help.
The way she was pacing looked like she had half a mind to take care of Jodi herself
Hildebrandt was NOT a psychiatrist or a psychologist. She was a counselor.
And a poor one at that
She was a monster.
Counselors make enough money to live in a house like that?
More like a psychopath.
I hope Ruby doesn’t get away with 4 years. She needs to serve the maximum sentence. I believe that is 30 years in this case
I can't imagine the mothers will let Ruby get out of prison. There's a hierarchy, they're on the bottom.
She got charged with 4 counts of child abuse(I think), a class 2 misdemeanor. The maximum sentence for one count is 15 yrs, and she needs to serve those counts consecutively
If I got the facts right she would have faced 60 years in prison max. She should have at least…it’s a disgrace that she got the minimum sentence and she’ll walk free in 2027
He really asked the neighbour for a favour. My heart broke
I bet he felt terrible for how he responded at first I’m suprised the kid didn’t get intimidated by the way he had an additude
@@therealleviticus I was thinking the exact same thing

My last comment is for you too.
@@raqueldeshow9678
My last remark was for you too.
@@therealleviticus at that age men ain’t got no time for kids and his eye sight is probably terrible, so he probably couldn’t tell his condition until he was up close.
Jodi is NOT a psychiatrist, don't pad her ego calling her one
She's a psycho not a psychiatrist
She definitely had money, and by the looks of Jodi, it wasn't through a divorce.. So she WAS something..
They’re doing a half-assed job of covering this.
@lancerussell755 We all know what she is, and that's a monster with no conscience. Any degree she has makes no difference.
Exactly. An author and life coach. Big deal. She life coached Ruby and herself right into prison.
Absolutely horrific. Some people don't deserve the blessing of children.
The way the woman crouched down and touched his arms... To think that's probably the first kindness, the first comfort he had received in maybe years, it breaks my heart. That a stranger could show more compassion than his own mother...
When the neighbor stops himself and says "he's been.... detained" it's obvious he doesn't want the little boy to overhear him talking about what his condition looks like. Just heartbreaking.
i remember hearing that when the 911 call first came out and it just broke my heart. it never hurts any less every time i hear it. those 3 words have stuck with me so much throughout this whole ordeal
That’s what I thought. He didn’t want the boy to hear how bad it really is.
Whenever people say something like "u don't know the full story" in a situation like this, it's always BS. There's no "full story" that justifies starving and torturing a child.
And she knows it is otherwise she'd have no problem telling her story.
Exactly, those are enablers who are likely child abusers themselves. They cover for each other.
You are correct.
Exactly!!
My stepmother starved my sister and me. I was eating boxes of cake mix from the basement that were so old they had bugs in it and then hiding the empty boxes behind the paneling on the wall. Years and years later, my dad removed the paneling and casually mentioned finding them. I told him AGAIN why and he didn't bat an eye and never mentioned it again. Like it never happened.
I want to know how the husband hasn't faced any charges.
He wasn’t involved. They had been separated for over a year when this happened.
Because the justice system has failed. He deserves to be in prison too
Facts!
Me too. He didn’t care for his children and let this happen. I cannot believe he didn’t know about it.
Every single one of you are dense. If she put these kids through this there’s no way she let her husband near the children and just kept telling him that they’re okay. You guys are psychopaths just like these 2 women.
The father should be in prison too! He sat idle and most likely participated too!
Exactly,he should get prison,he would have known all too well what ruby was doing and he turned a blind eye n let it happen ,he is guilty the same 👍💯👹👿
He is not a father.
Check out the other video they face on this case. Apparently Ruby was told by Jodi that she needs to cut ties with her husband in order to mend their failing marriage. So Ruby “exiled” her husband for a year, cutting all ties with him and forbade him from contacting the children
Anyway, he is guilty because the abuses started very long time ago
Bless that neighbor. He came over and sat by the boy to talk to him.
Such lovely people
And how he turned away holding back tears so R wouldn't see how panicked he was. What a beautiful couple.
When the boy asked him for a favor, he wasn’t expecting that answer at all.
true, the sitting down outside was most important as opposed to inviting him inside, questioning him excessively, not wanting to get into trouble etc;
Yeah and he did what I would have done which is immediately give the boy food and water and call the police for help.
Her protesting the police entry to her home is disgusting. Those two women are barbic and are deserving of no respect for anything. 😡😡😡
It reminded me of an episode of "Law and Order".
...and how she was already on the phone to her lawyer less than an hour after the escape. They both knew darn well that what they were doing was mistreatment.
Extreme mental illness, totally out of control. She could do it in full view bc she was a true believer, and they clearly look reasonably “together” from the outside, and the home life they curated for public consumption was attractive and appealing. Fundamentally similar to the CA house of horrors, the Turpin case. Child abuse in full view. Disturbing on so many levels
@betsylaughlin8652 did people enjoy their content & find their home life appealing or attractive? Based on the little bit I've watched I found it pretty deranged
@@osubeaver9976 and harsh ABUSE
I had not followed this story and this video is my first hearing and I am sitting here literally in tears! Such cruelty to a child is unfathomable!
The House looks like a friggin' Prison! That Metal front door, all that Stone and Courtyard! Scary!
The scariest part is the boy escaped once before and Ruby & Jodi went driving around and found him walking down a road at 2am and took him home… I shudder to think of the abuse he received after that. He must have been so scared knocking on these doors thinking Jodi or Ruby could be coming after him again.
That’s why they started tying him up
The first house he came to no one answered the door… so glad he went to another house and didn’t let fear make him go back home. The terror he had to be feeling is beyond words.
@@NancySliderThe first set of neighbors did provide a witness statement to the police. Their words were comforting as well.
they also planned to move both..of them to the middle of nowhere to work on a ranch in a day or two from the date he escaped. his timing was the ONLY thing that could possibly be seen as divine intervention in that situation.
He is a true hero, saving his siblings.
So sad. He was scared to tell the man what was really wrong and kept saying it was "personal business." Poor kid
He had been told it was his fault so often that he believed them.
@@NonnieAnnexactly. These barbaric cowards inflict harm on these kids & tell them its their fault. It so isn't.
Fear & shame. I've been there as a child.
Jodi made the children believe the abuse they received was their fault. He also knew his mom was a UA-camr so it makes sense that he would have been trained to keep certain things to himself.
@@saphire196ive been there too
This pure and true love pouring from his neighbours, is divine affection. Extremely rare to receive this form of comfort and kindness, especially for children. Most likely he felt overflown with love in that moment, as that would have been in my guess, only one of the few times he has ever felt the reassurance and care from an adult figure I am sure. I will continue to pray for the rest of the family, and this beautiful boy. Kindness goes beyond limits, and is directly given back to your soul in many ways of the future. Take this as an example of how you are choosing to change lives in the blink of an eye. Transformation for you both in these situations. It is yours to choose to be the humanitarian and humble human. Bless you all.
It shouldn’t be rare.. any decent person should have responded this way
Divine affection?!???!
Stop spreading your delusions!!!!
That broke me when the first responder said thats why I have my shades on to the
other first responder who
was crying..🤦♀️💔
Not only did the paramedic say she was going to cry, but the guy who responded to her said "oh yeah, that's why I've got my shades on".
So thankful for the neighbor who opened the door. He was amazing.
That 911 call is never going to be out of many people's minds. It was nice to see the female neighbor comforting him during the 911 call.
Don’t let those kids go back to either parents!!’ 🤬
When they were checking his legs under the bandages, and saw that the wounds were so infected, and smelled so badly, I can’t even imagine what that boy went through 😭. If it wasn’t for that kind neighbor, who finally answered the door, called the police, and his wife gave R. something to eat & drink he (the boy) & his sister would have died. He was definitely a real hero in that monsters house 😠.
You cant use regular meals as punishment/reward, even prisoners get to eat. Terrible people.
Many prisoners don’t get regular or decent food.
The cruelest people in history used starvation.
Exactly. It makes me wonder if Ruby has an eating disorder. I’ve only known people with eating disorders to treat basic meals as a reward.
@allisonjames2923 arguing for the wrong side here buddy. The point is that criminals receive better treatment than these kids did, who shouldn't have had comparable experiences to begin with, especisince they didn't do anything to receive that as a punishment. They aren't criminals of any sort, they are children who were abused. They shouldnt be treated as prisoners. Different.
@@allisonjames2923in America they get meals. Sure it isn’t tasty like grandmas cooking, but they’re not starved to near death. Prisons in the US aren’t Auschwitz interment camps
Jodi said they "don't know the whole story". What story does think would justify them torturing and abusing 2 children? There is none. No excuse for that, ever.
Jodie be like: YOU GUYS POLICE DON'T KNOW THE WHOLE STORY THESE KIDS ARE DEMONS AND WE ARE CLEANSING EVIL SPIRIT SO WE STARVED THEM, TIE UP, LOCK THEM INSIDE A VAULT/SAFE AND TORTURE THEM

@Random-tq5sm she was probably tryna go with the insanity excuse. Guess she FAFO that Utah is one of the few states that doesn't have an insanity plea. Not that she would've qualified anyway.
You know your screwed if you are already on the phone with your lawyer when you open the door.
Right? That's basically an admission of some sort of guilt right there. She knew what she was doing was wrong.
This is attempted murder. Do not let these women out of prison. They are dangerous.
My heart broke for him when the door didn't open straight away and he walked away 😢 The despair he must have felt at that moment 😢
The worst part is Jodi and Ruby’s behavior when they were caught. Jodi said if people understood they’d have empathy for her. Ruby shut down and was angry, and annoyed that the officers were detaining her. They both believe they did nothing wrong and only plead guilty to avoid life in prison.
💯💯💯💯💯💯
👏 👏 👏- some trash can’t handle fortune or fame…. Like these witches….
I’m infuriated. This boy is so beyond brave.
Also to avoid the detailed crimes during the court proceedings. They wanted it over quick.
After watching that footage of that poor child and while it was so raw in my mind and then seeing Jodi in all of her arrogance and callousness just infuriated me.
"What's going on son? Take a seat there." Is probably the first kind words that poor sweet baby has heard in a long time, if ever 🥺
I despise parents like this who exploit their children for online fame and money.
Thank you to the department and to first responders. For helping these kids. Also for not returning him to his disgusting excuse of a mother.
This little boy is so strong. To spend your life having adults try to crush your spirits and still find it in yourself to risk it and fight for yourself. Unbelievable.
The little man put his fear aside and went to two houses looking for help for himself and his sister. He is a heroic little one. 😊
Kids don’t ask to fuking be here. To treat a child any way than without love is crazy to me. Poor kids are probably confused half the time about why they’re being treated that way.
UGH. My heart swells and breaks for that little boy. I'm SO proud of how courageous he was, but NO child should EVER have to reach for that level of self-preservation. 💔
"Um, I was wondering if you could do me a favor," "Take me to the nearest police station." That poor sweet boy, was so polite even in the worst situation. He was probably terrified of what would happen if his evil mother found him.
Imagine going to stranger's house in middle of desert knowing you're in less danger than at your own home with your own mother or gardian.
This is sad to watch. Put her under the jail.
Poor baby boy. I’m so sorry he had to go through this. So sorry.
Watching him walk from the 1st house and away from the 2nd has absolutely broken me. Those poor kids.
This killed me 😭
Me too :'(
Right he probably felt so defeated😭
the way he turned around when he heard that door creak open. You know he felt so alone and so hopeless walking away from another house without help. 😭😭
Same. In pain and heartbroken when the first door didn't open, and second one nearly didn't. Broken down at how his heart must have been sinking.
She believes demons are real. She's a crazy person
Cayenne pepper with honey on this child’s wounds covered with duck tape??? This woman definitely needs to be locked up
They need to give her the full sentence, not one to 15 years, give her the full 15 years per charge.
unfortunately it is up to the parole board after 4 years. we cn only hope for the max
The maximum sentence is 30 years, the minimum 4 years for both of them. The degree of the offenses was quite severe, they‘re going to spend some serious time in prison.
The max they're gonna get is community service. Bcz female not bad. And the victim was a boy too, so it doesn't matter that much, to the law and society.
@@BL-yj2wp Which is ridiculous in my opinion. Why suggest a sentence that, by simple math, could reach as much as 60 years if 30 was the maximum the whole time?
I’m sure our ladies on the inside will make their stay appropriately pleasant until they are released back to us. 🧡
The cockiness of Jodi to nonchalantly say “if you knew the entire story you would have empathy” is wild! The entitlement this woman feels to be so horrid towards another human let alone a sweet child timidly asking “could you do me TWO favors” as if he thinks he’s asking for too much, that part just crushed me 😢
I know. That made me almost throw my phone across the room. Entitled Mickey Mouse life coach taking a 2 month course thinking she was educating the police on her ‘techniques’.
I can't believe she even said that. Who in their right mind would be like, "yes, you're right. Those kids deserve to be tortured"??!!
I agree there's no way in justifying this even slightly. Absolutely, cruel on so many levels that your own mother could something like this and think its okay. I pray he's is able to heal from such an atrocity
They are both completely demented. We are dealing with 3 insane people. So insane that they have forfeit their right to walk amongst us. Whether an institute for the mad or prison, they must not be amongst us in any way and far by a universe from children
And Ruby thinks she’s so cool. Give her the full sentence.
Thank you for this!
What a brave little boy to get out of there and go to the neighbor. Probably saved his and his siblings lives.
They definitely would of been killed if he didn't escape
They would have said its Gods will.@@sammy00000000001
And he knew he'd be severly punished if she caught him
what do you think that woman would have done if she knew he'd gone to the neighbor? Very brave in my opinion@@bojohannesen4352
@@bojohannesen4352 Clearly you know nothing about this story and what happened, yet here you are commenting as if you have some knowledge.
It was in fact very brave of him because he had to actually escape. He wasn't allowed out and would have surely have been severely punished if caught. It must have been hugely stressful for him when he finally had the opportunity. I can't even imagine his stress levels.
That house is on the market for $5.3 million and you starve and restrain your children? What an animal! 😡
Most rich people don’t get rich without stepping on others backs to get there. Jodi destroyed many peoples lives to get where she was at.
Omggggg
Because it didn’t have anything to do with the amount of money they have; it was about abusive control.
Animals feed their young first.
@@SoCalJellybean i mean, unless abusive control is how they got their money
Both these women knew exactly the evil they were committing to those children. One has an attorney on speed dial and the other is quiet as a mime in a library.
But they will still get better treatment in prison than they gave to those kids. Better treatment as long as they stay in solitary confinement that is. It is well known that prisoners will deal with child abusers in the worst way, just a matter of time before it happens.
Seeing the other neighbor comfort him made me bawl. Those neighbors don’t know how much of amazing heroes they really are!
Wild that both those women lived in multi-million dollars homes, eating well & lookin healthy, but their kids lived no better than slaves. Those poor kids will need YEARS of therapy after what those two monsters have done to them.
Same could be said about the damage the trans cult is doing to children along with Psycologist and doctors for billions of dollars. Preying on children
Exactly
That’s what gets me. That people who seemed educated, respectable, and successful could have this evil in them. 😞
@@kristinanoalldont judge a book by its cover goes both ways
Jodi must have been livid when she realized the boy escaped and immediately thinking about how to best protect herself she called her lawyer
That women is absolutely psychotic
She called her lawyer immediately. To me, she knew what she did to those kids was wrong. A person doesn’t call a lawyer when they believe they have done nothing wrong.
@@mollypaintscows She is a self actualised psychopath - She has built an entire system to be able abuse children with their parents permission - Getting away with it has been a concern from day one, She is obviously clued up on the law and her rights, etc, and when she is flying too close to the sun. What I am saying, is that she doesn't think what she is doing is wrong - she probably thinks she's the victim in all this.
Horrific that these beautiful children belong to Horrific disgusting people that would allow there children to harmed and undergo such life altering trauma! So many people want to have these children and provide love, yet these monsters are bestowed with these poor kids.
I find it hard to believe dad had no idea. This abuse started way before they separated. The kid said he had to sleep on a bean bag for 18 months. The dad was supposedly only out for a year. He’s not free of guilt. Suing your daughter for a laptop was a bad look as well.
If you find it hard to believe dad had no idea then you don't know the full capability of evil women.
Kevin was there in the original 8 passengers video when Ruby was talking about the boy sleeping on the bean bag.
Probably as deluded as she was in a different way... Like him being abused too
@@celestialnubianThe dad is clearly just as bad as the mom, she’s been doing this for years and they only separated a year ago. He’s complicit.
I agree, the dad had to know enough to separate when she left, I hope he does not get custody back either. Sounds like there are enough family members willing to take those kids into their loving homes
