If kids who have millions of eyes on them can't get the protection that they need, what chance do the forgotten kids in our society have?
Right
not everybody gets to have a good life.
@@PolumbiusTheThirdbut they should, this woman should have been investigated long time ago. No kid deserves to live like that and when situations like this happen is not because casually they didn’t get a good life, is because all their adults failed them and the authorities too.
Ask Tucson police officers how there’s a police report with my ex wife’s name on it as a suspect of child abuse and legal documents reporting child abuse but her 16 year old daughter went missing for three months and nobody could find her. No obstruction charges for interfering in a domestic violence investigation and she had done it more than once
I can't believe people watching her videos didn't report some things. If I saw it I would contact their local authorities.
2 passengers 6 hostages
😂
At least this made me laugh ... in a dark way. God help us all. (Esp the 6 kids)
“Things we’re taken out of context” is a classic statement from abusers
Gaslighting 101!
WHAT PARENT IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD LISTEN AND THINK THESE WOMEN GAVE GOOD, HEALTHY ADVICE? These women are nuts.
Evil, too.
FIRST: The Mormon Church has a Media Department that helps all families develop a Vlog Channel, Family channels, ones that reflect the Mormon Church "Values".
See Mormons are forced to give a MANDATORY 10% of their entire earnings BEFORE TAXES as their "Tithing". So the more money they make, the more money the church recieves.
The fact this child wasn't believed it because those kids are Mormon. The ENTIRE neighborhood, school, cops, teachers & portion of that town are all in the same ward. It's against church Doctrine to call the cops. Even the police that are Mormon are required to tell the ward Bishop & the CHURCH "prophet's" decide if she is guilty, what her punishment is & they work it out with the father of the house. The father is the "head" of his congregation aka Family.
You guys need to look into how the Mormon Church lead to JJ & Tylee being murdered by Lori Daybell.
There are MANY "parents" out there that abuse and neglect their kids with religion as their excuse. I think this is a good opportunity to continue to out these abusers.
@@magyaradamany religion can be misconstrued and used as means to justify abuse regardless
LDS very similar to Chad and Lori Daybell.
2:20 - she didn’t just refuse to bring her 6 year old daughters lunch to her at school after the daughter forgot it, she actually stated she told the teachers to not give her daughter any food or anything even if they had something to give her “as punishment”. This obviously worried the teachers, and brought up obvious red flags. This is a 6 year old child, ON TOP OF THAT, her 6 year old daughter was actually responsible for making and packing her own lunch, and she had made and packed herself a lunch, but then just forgot to take it with her when she left that day. This woman is completely cruel, and disgustingly abusive.
Everything else is bad, but getting a 6 year old child to make there own lunch is wonderful bx it teaches them to be become self responsible & confident in taking care of themselves.
@@pebblepod30My point was really more that even though her daughter actually had made and packed a lunch, but just forgot to grab it as she left that day, the mom still refused to drop it off for her. For her 6 year old. And then told the teachers to not give her any food even if she was complaining about being hungry all day! Although I personally do think putting the responsibility of making and packing their own lunch to be a little early and stressful for a 6 year old… I think maybe by 8 years old it’s an important skill to teach them, but come on 6 years old is only grade 1! Of course 6 year olds will forget some days, and apparently mom found that “unacceptable! Let her starve!” Ughhh just overall this woman makes me so mad, and learning the fact that she would bind her children’s wrists and ankles with duck tape and lock them in a room at home, PURE EVILLL!!!
@@pebblepod30 I agree that it's important to teach kids habits around that age, but to use food as punishment and to leave her to starve for forgetting to bring food/lunch once is absurd to me.
@@pebblepod30let a 6 year old be 6. She shouldn't be responsible for packing her own lunch.
@@pebblepod30 My son never went without lunch when he was six because I always made sure he had everything he needed. That's not to say he didn't have tasks, but at six it's ridiculous to think they're going to remember everything and nor should they be expected to. A six year old has a lot going on.
That 12 year old boy is a real hero who very possibly risked his life by escaping.
I hope he finds a better place.
Foster care is liable to cause a "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" situation
😢😢 Yes. And in this case those kids DEFINITELY can’t be placed with relatives! After the sisters basically admitted to knowing for years what was going on and saying nothing. One possibility would be the older daughter who is out of the house taking them.
@@pointstill3755 ironic how abusing a child tends to make them a better parent....
@@pointstill3755 she’s 20 years old and in the middle of college, and dealing with the PTSD of being a victim herself… honestly placing her responsible for 5 kids would be such a burden… as much as she loves them, how would that really work without her dropping out and derailing her life?
I really hope they keep all the kids together. The trauma these kids have been thru for years coupled with being torn from their home, watching their mother get arrested, news and internet sources plastering them and their abuse all over, then being split up? That would absolutely break anyone. I pray these kids find some sort of safe and loving environment to start their healing process and continue with the rest of their lives in peace. My heart hurts for all of those beautiful kids/young adults that have had to endure that kind of stuff. I really pray they are able to learn what a safe and loving home can be and that they get the much needed counciling and help they need.❤
6 kids in a house that sterile looking is absolutely a warning sign! A house should be lived in and loved. No pictures or kids art... in fact no art or real decor at all. It's like she stifled any type of creative thinking or any thinking beyond what she demanded of them. Really disgusting and sad.
Oh kids' art! Am grandmother of 22. Just pick up pictures and slogans from kids whenever I want. We're talking overload. 👄 it. Have scrapbooks. Before I retired had them hung up at my cubby. Fun. 😀
Well....actually, the videos shown were in the home of Jody, not Ruby, the mother in question.
@@sherimciver ah I didn't catch that but thanks for clarification. 🙂 still very impersonal and sterile. Very controlled environment without decor.
it looks like one of those communal rooms in a new apartment complex. Super sterile and devoid of any signs of being lived in.
@AnaLucia-wy2ii .... verbally, he said the videos were shot in Jody's (the friend) house, not Ruby's (the mother) house....whether or not he is correct, I do not know.
I ran away twice when I was eight due to being locked up, unfed and severely punished..no details. Fortunately the county social service workers picked all six of us up..I was the youngest. We were locked in rooms at juvenile hall and yes we were spanked for not being quiet at bedtime, but...we had tooth brushes, cloths and best of all, metal trays full of food. As a ward of the court until I was eighteen..it was bitter sweet...still is. I am a grandmother with great gratitude for the small things that truly make a difference. Love, peace and healing to all of humanity.
I read a comment from a foster parent on a forum many years ago about how one day one of her fosters said to her "it's so nice to be able to use my toothbrush just on my teeth". This foster mum immediately threw away that toilet cleaning used toothbrush the foster child in front of her was currently using on her teeth & made it her policy to immediately dispose of all toothbrushes any new fosters brought with them & replace them with box new ones. Story stuck with me though, the things some kids that end up in care are forced to do, little things that we all take for granted/are grossed out by, these kids live every day of their lives. Glad you made it through, shame you didn't get a more loving environment to grow up in though!
Hero!
Your story reminded me of a strange comment my dad made about growing up on a farm during the depression in rural Alabama... he said he told a social worker how his dad would use his toothbrush to clean off his farm boots! I thought he was kidding, but now realize he was totally serious! I think they gave him a new toothbrush and had a talk with his farmer dad.@@mehere8038
You are awesome!
Glad you found peace!!! Yes wish more would be peaceful and less judgemental and angry.
This screams for the question: "Where was the father throughout this horrible experience for his children!" He should also be held responsible for the extreme abuse and neglect these children faced!
Unless they divorced and she had custody. Whom ever doesn’t have custody, either mom or dad, it’s hard to get any response through the system
Trust me there is always a weak husband around that turns a blind eye just like my dad to my psychopath mother abuse ! Poor kids
He left her!
@@TyShyBrickWorld He did seem weak. He would have seen the things she did. He could have fought for custody.
No, Dad was ALL in.
"I watched as many episodes I could tolerate, which wasn't many".
Never watched, but I did many of the 19 and counting, rarely something good comes out of these kind of shows.
I wacthed two one where she told the kids they should of been in that crash and when they cut the girls stuffed animal up because she left it in the car.
😅
Never even heard of them till now.
I watched one connexion video where she gave the example of stealing a teenagers journal and then when they got mad saying "you are being hysterical we will not discuss this until you reflect truth" which is both infuriating and makes no sense at all, as a great parenting moment
Thank you Dr. G. When I heard Ruby say something along the lines of “these kids are numb [to punishment] so I have to keep doing things more severely,” my heart just sank because that was exactly the language my own father used and I knew instantly what she meant by it. I was abused severely for every infraction, most of which were imagined or exaggerated, and my dad grew frustrated that my only coping mechanism was essentially to make myself be unbothered by his continued onslaughts. He continued escalating punishments and told me I was numb and hard hearted (like pharaoh, of course) and needed to be broken.
What it really meant was that he got some kind of twisted satisfaction by harming me and when I had to toughen up and turn my emotions off to it, he wasn’t achieving his effect anymore and had the excuse to do more.
Just by that language alone I can instantly tell what kind of a monster Ruby was behind closed doors.
I learned to have the stoic face.
@@marietteestabrook4098 🗿
The father knew exactly what was going on and he should be ashamed and should be held accountable too!!
I despise child exploitation videos, pure abuse.
All in her Family Exposé their children on UA-cam they earn the Money even the grandparents Griffith explore the grandchildren for Views to make Money disgusting
This. They need to be made illegal, no exceptions. Children cannot consent to their image being exposed on the Internet, let alone videos of their highs and lows. It's exploitation. Nothing more. It needs to be done away with.
Especially when the children are disabled making money from it.
I just went and found a popular channel to get an idea of what the demo was like. I thought it would be a bunch of 12 year olds but oddly it was predominantly seemingly married woman with children. What in the flying fuck could they get from such trash? fucking mind blowing and frankly sickening. Like you want to watch other families do dumb ass shit while your own kids sleep? or while they're sitting right in front of you? complete mind fuck
There are so many videos now of parents, mostly mothers, hurting their kids for a laugh and a like. The moms cracking eggs on their unsuspecting little ones foreheads is only the latest trend.
When parents use their children as props for reality shows - the red flags of abuse are huge and unmistakable.
It's so exploitative, and it needs to be looked at seriously. The mental and emotional well-being of children everywhere is at stake, if not their lives.
And yet, the US government backs parents again and again when it comes to freedom to raise your children. France outlawed children's pagents, but Americans are free to exploit their kids. Yay freedom! That's why you're the best country in the world, right? Because your exploited kids are shinier than other countries who make their kids work in mines and manufacturing plants.
Well said. The fact that the children were being used as props is abusive.
Then family fizz is in critical condition.
Thank you!
To me it almost feels like sadism. To be a parent and deny 2 of your small children Christmas presents seems so cruel it's like she was enjoying it. That level of psychological torture freaks me out more than the tying up.
It is sadism and Ruby is enjoying it (as all sadists do). Haven't you noticed how smiling and gleeful she is when she talks about their punishments?
She seemed to laugh and relish her embarrassing them on social media too.
It is sadism.
That six year old didn’t forget to grab her lunch, she failed to MAKE her own lunch. My six year old was never required to prepare her own food. The remarks Ruby made about not wanting anyone to feed her child to teach her a lesson we’re made with seemingly devilish glee.
It's not the school's responsibility to carry out the parents abusive discipline.
My aunt used to punish me for tiny things and make me do things like sleep on a thin mattress in the laundry room for weeks at a time. She acted EXACTLY like that lady. Triggers me to my core.
So sorry u went through that. Ur aunt shd b held accountable for her cruelty. I hope there is karma and she feels it’s wrath
My mother's step father would make her wash every dish in the house if even one was not cleaned to his satisfaction. Then kicked her out when she was 14. The 70's. I was also abused by biological father. CPS did Jack shit. And actually made it worse. Thr wanted me to have unsupervised visitation with my known abuser. In 1989, it was more important that the family stayed together, 3ven thought mother was trying to divorce that monster, then a 5 Yr old being csa. I always say something if I see something. As most adults dis nothing when I was a kid. Or helped the abuser. I'm 39 and stopped the cycle in my family. But it cost me my potentially life.
So sorry 😢
I'm sorry that your aunt was like that. My mother is an evil animal and my aunts all ignored it. Let's heal together.
I’m sorry you had to go through that!
No one delivers a slow and articulate burn like Dr. G. I always appreciate his wit and straight forward delivery.
My first time watching him, I'm not impressed. I find him very unprofessional as a "doctor" (I'm assuming in something mental health related?) He actually comes across as inappropriate & abusive in that position to me
@@mehere8038you need to watch him more. I've watched him alot and never thought he was unprofessional.
@@mehere8038 you seem pretty soft. That's coming from a mentally ill person. Lmao abusive? Give me a break.
@@mehere8038there are times where he's basically blamed 15-16 yo girls for making bad decisions too, wtf
@@mehere8038 Really, he is an amazing doctor. He doesn't sugar coat things.
I went through the same child abuse as the poor Franke children. They will need extensive therapy over many years to get through this. I wish them the lots of love and all other children who are going through the same abuse.
P.S the father needs to be arrested too for not protecting his kids
There had been so many complaints leading up to the arrests: complaints from Ruby's teenagers, complaints from her sisters, queries from the neighbors... and CPS just blew them off. So did the police. The agencies who let Ruby get away with it for years carry lots of the blame.
FIRST: The Mormon Church has a Media Department that helps all families develop a Vlog Channel, Family channels, ones that reflect the Mormon Church "Values".
See Mormons are forced to give a MANDATORY 10% of their entire earnings BEFORE TAXES as their "Tithing". So the more money they make, the more money the church recieves.

The father is the "head" of his congregation aka Family.
EXACTLY how the Mormon Church lead to JJ & Tylee being murdered by Lori Daybell.
The craziest part about this case is millions of people have watched this psychotic woman act inappropriately with her children and she's just barely getting busted
Millions liked her "parenting"!
@@CordeliaWagner and that's scary!
There was a petition a couple years ago with 17K signatures asking authorities to get involved. CPS said everything was fine and that they’d closed the case. Neighbors say they called CPS repeatedly, that Ruby would put paper over the windows and would leave, by herself, for weeks at a time (while the kids were in the house). I hate to say it but I think bc this was a prominent Mormon family in Utah the issues were swept under the rug. It took a child escaping with injuries that couldn’t be ignored for something to happen. The new charges say that the youngest 2 are developmentally delayed from malnourishment and abuse… this will never be fully over for them. 💔
People tried, Utah doesn't investigate Mormon families.
Its part of the programming of extreme religious groups. So sick & evil.
8:08 - Rubys daughter had said "So glad they finally stepped up" in regard to CPS and law enforcement. How did they finally step up? If the boy didn't escape and go over to the neighbors it likely would still not have come to light. CPS gets ZERO credit, none.
Law enforcement should create task forces for cults. When children become victims & can't protect themselves, freedom of religion should not exist - unless the adults are sterilized.
Exactly they didn't step up the child saved himself
Many people complained to both CPS and UA-cam, but nothing was done. Because when they make money out of people, they don't want the money to stop coming in.
@@LL-vd3qiKids should also be left alone and protected against the alphabet cult.
@@MarvinHartmann452I'd rather have a gay kid than a Mormon kid.
Dr Grande's absolute disdain for family vloggers feeds my soul 😂
Ruby even said in one of her videos that "my kids are literally starving at this point. I believe it was in reference to her having to punish them so often.
I worked with people who gleefully said they beat their children (for religious reasons ) beat them to repentance 😢
In one video she told one of the sons he's lost the *privilege*(!!!!) of eating dinner. I believe it was the same kid who had his bed taken away too and he was a teenager at that point.
@@ThePossumone Back in the 70s and into the 80s, there was a Christian "teaching" that children should be told one time to do something or stop doing something and if they didn't, they were to be spanked. This included babies who could barely walk. I watched the child of friends be beaten eight or ten times every day when she was 18 months old. They got mad at me because I refused to beat her. Another family thought it was hilarious that their two year old had a callous on his behind from being beaten so many times. "It won't kill him" laughed the mother. It still sickens me.
People like her genuinely scare me, because of the damage they do to young children. They are such unfit parents.
Exactly!!!
their cult emphasizes perfection on the outside, and a shit show behind closed doors in order to get everyone on the perfection train. lori vallow came from the same cult.
These kids had it rough, 2 openly abusive parents. Their father (who they are with now) supported and engaged in the same behavior. They both supported extreme punishment of kids. And the worst part: ruby went on to be a family therapist and counsels mothers to discipline like she and her husband did
@@Limitedonathiosagree, but I think it's a complete travesty the kids are now with the father, who definitely engaged & condoned in Ruby & the therapists deplorable "punishments." I wonder who made the decision to leave kids with the father? This is insane. Even though Ruby & the therapist are in jail, since the kids are allegedly with their father, I can't help but NOT hold out for much hope for those kids. It's sounding like more of the same...just a different person that's doling out torture.
I wondered what was going on with Ruby's husband. Was he traveling constantly for business or out of the home for extended periods of time? Did he go along with Ruby's draconian punishments of the children? Seriously, what is the husband's/father's story?
My question is how did the CPS not find anything wrong when she herself broadcasted the abuse of her children to the world. This worries me. How much obvious abuse is being ignored in families, that we don't know anything about?
It almost has to get this bad for CPS to act. Why? Because they need demonstrable evidence for an underfunded agency to act. At the time, it probably was not obvious. It is not illegal to be strict parent. If they act without evidence. The left will scream about family separation. The right will say that the government is invading their homes and infringing on freedom. They can’t win.
Utah. That's how.
I could be wrong, but I reckon it was because they see so much that is so much worse so they think on the scale of things what she's doing is not so bad.
I personally believe though what she was doing was cruel and she is quite frankly a peice of garbage who should never have bred.
I lived out in the country so being abused and neglected was not for anyone to see or to hear plus who believes a kid over an adult parent 😒
Do not get me started on the miserable job CPS does...and it's not a recent thing, they have been failing children for decades. VI know, personally, as they horrifically failed me and my siblings until it was too obvious to ignore anymore. They. SUCK at helping abused and neglected children.
Malnutrition in a child is a long term symptom so the abuse has been ongoing for a long time. My question is the same as many have regarding were is the father and has he been charged? Even just knowing of the abuse and taking no action is child neglect. I’ve read several different accounts of them being separated and living apart but only recently after the poor child escaped. We all can only hope now the authorities make sure the children are well cared for.
I had a stepmother like this,came home from the 3rd grade and my room was stripped bare including my curtains,because it was messy..and my brother carries the scars on his back,the military doctors noted from whipping him with my father's skinny belt many times as a kid ,Dad was an enabler of her abuse😢 these 2 women fed off each other's paranoia and narc tendencies
That’s absolutely awful I’m so sorry you went through this - we were hit with a black belt hanging up in kitchen but it seemed completely normal to me at the time
@@ThePossumonei suppose whatever a kid is raised with can seem normal. I'm glad you don't see it that way anymore. I hope you are well.
These monsters are a CULT! It appears that Ruby's estranged family tried to report her for years to no avail. The father's also suspect. Now he wants custody?!
The dad should not be allowed anywhere near his own children. From what I understand he condoned Ruby's "punishments" & participated, as well.
Mormon men seek out these women. He got what he ordered. LDS is destroying itself, smiling all the way.
The Family did little they are all concerned thats their UA-cam Channels dont get negative response
He shouldn't be allowed anywhere near them without thorough investigation. He got out to save himself but left the children to endure her. Weak man.
No kidding they’re (in) a cult, he said they were Mormon!
This is why I don’t watch family vloggers. I think there is a lot of narcissism involved. Who knows what is actually happening within these families.
Unfortunately it was a very common thing many years ago. I think most family vloggers I used to watch have really backed away since it is frowned upon nowadays.
Huge red flags for narcissism
Ruby’s parenting style reminds me of that controversial parenting book which to me advocates child abuse called Train Up A Child.
I had a friend who used that book as her guide for parenting and I felt that the consequences if her child would do something wrong we’re way to harsh and even harmful. Like she told me her family were getting ready to load up and go somewhere and one of her daughters didn’t put her shoes on yet and so she let her go without shoes in the freezing cold winter. Her kid was crying because she had cold feet. I find that heartless. I don’t think that’s okay.
It's truly heartless and woefully misguided. Is that the same book the Duggars followed that literally encourages physically punishing children in the name of God? I can't even begin with that..
That book is absolutely sick. I remember it recommended wearing the item you’re going to beat your child with as a piece of jewelry around your neck as a ‘reminder’ to them behave
That book is straight up just a manual for abuse. They say to coax your baby who is only old enough to crawl off a blanket and if they come to you, you beat them. They are simply teaching children to fear the only people they should be able to trust at that age. It's never okay to treat kids as adults (or worse in the book's case). They are not developed to understand certain things at certain ages. I wish people would read about child development from reputable sources before they even try for kids.
That is outright cruel and hostile behavior! What is this teaching the child? They are creating a generation of monsters.
Yes a friend of mine gave me that book when I had my first child. I threw it out. It was horrific.
I heard that she advocated the practice of removing the kids' bedroom doors and taking away all of their clothes as punishment. My daughter had a friend whose mother did that to her. My daughter's friend ended up spending most of her time at an older male neighbor's to escape the mother. The friend became pregnant, the neighbor went to jail. This abusive treatment practiced by the mother caused a negative domino effect in several lives. I remember bringing this little girl with us to the beach and on a camping trip and meeting the mother at Chuck E Cheese, and she was also on my daughter's soccer team.
Wow, I can't believe this lady even thanks that see helping the kids.
Oh my! I really feel bad for them, that they had to go through that, but I'm glad that they're safe, now.
I had a child counselor working my son who counseled to take everything out of his room and give back as he behaved and earned them. But, food wasn't involved.
It's true, abuse from parents like this is such a domino effect. The children don't learn healthy relationships and, sometimes in their desperation to get away, end up hopping into another abusive relationship because it's all they know. I wish we had safe places for young people who are escaping abusive families and cults. The foster system is a nightmare, and for those 18 or older there are no resources aside from homeless shelters which is a terrible way to try to get your life on track when your already starting behind.
@@maryshaffer5675did you do what the counselor said and if so did it work? Taking everything and giving it back one at a time. Without more info on the diagnosis and the treatment modality, I am not sure if the method is inappropriate or not.
I've noticed that self help gurus often seem to be those who need the most help.
Exactly!
She intended to protect her children from the outside world meanwhile, her inside world was worse than prison for the children.
But I would hardly call posting non-stop, abusive & torturous content of your children to one of the most public online platforms that exist, while exploiting the number of views for profit, ''intending to protect her children''. I mean, I doubt if she even thought that herself. (which to be fair, was perhaps your point all along).
So true.
The only intentions she had were to use her children as props to make money, control everything and everyone around her, and make her children's lives miserable. She legit punished her children because she couldn't be bothered to provide any parental control on their devices, and said since she wasn't willing to do that, she decided to just take them away all summer. Worst part is, due to her channel she KNEW her children were being bullied heavily, and we know she knew because they told her. They had no friends, and she took away their only entertainment.
The abusive control is much more likely to cause the problems she was trying to avoid. Poor children. I hope they get the help they need to heal.
I think the “protecting the kids” thing is an excuse to justify controlling behavior of a narcissist. I am part of the same culture she is (state and church) and this is not taught or condoned. This is horrible.
The abuse got worse when she removed her channel. Then the abuse no one saw when the cameras weren't rolling. Daddy dearest there needs to be held accountable as well. Very deranged woman. Hope they throw the book at her and never let her be around children again.
Thank God for the neighbour. Too many children suffer because those who should help don't look just a little deeper. There's no way that these two don't have a "deeper" connection than just business partners.
This wasn't a one off though was it, so the neighbour clearly had been looking the other way for a long time. I'm just glad something FINALLY crossed the line in their eyes & made them report it (Note, I take that back if it's found that the neighbour had in fact been reporting it previously & had also been ignored, like the kids had been)
& relationship between the 2 adults is irrelevent! No relationship status between 2 adults justifies child abuse!
@@mehere8038 Russell, the 12 year old boy, escaped from Jody's house, not Ruby's. The houses in that area were quite a distance apart.
Dikes for sure. Did you see how cozy they were on that couch?
My fear is that, there are other mothers implementing this “parenting” style. 😢
Of course, there are.
And, "fathers" too.
💔💔💔💔💔
Start with checking the church of LDS. And other cults in Utah.They breed child abuse
Yes, for sure...especially after her years of 'Brainwashing' others.
Of course their are...how many followers did she have?
Does UA-cam carry any responsibility for allowing her programming? Freedom of speech doesn’t apply to a commercial enterprise. And preaching child abuse is just sick!
"Mad at myself for letting my children do as they wanted." Huh? You mean they liked going without food and being bound with duct tape? Strange woman.
Sleeojng on bean bags for seven months and losing a phone for entire summer seemed a little extreme to me. Had a kid taken the car keys and cracked up the car, it might be understandable.
My kids have had a summer where they were allowed lots of freedom to do what they wanted... funnily enough none of them chose to starve, lacerate or restrain themselves
@@user-mv9tt4st9kthe same son got sent to a wilderness camp. :(
Unless they're a monster, any parent who's getting out the duct tape to use on their child as a punishment should be questioning their own sanity and ability to parent.
@@It-is-me...Melsie these were definitely parents of the monstrous kind
Child abuse is not a “parenting style,” it is criminal activity.
“A failed attempt to be clever.” Love Dr. Grande’s direct and accurate observations.
The “X” may have also been her hidden agenda in plain site.
Sounds similar to Lori Vallow. The family wanting the mother arrested speaks volumes. These women played like evil gods.
I agree. A narcissistic, delusional, psychopath LDS extremist.
@@user-rs2ro6oe5y That example you gave reminds me, to no small degree, of the time when the likes of Elon Musk had just bought Twitter & decided to fire everybody.. only to end up having to do the Janitor's job himself. But in all seriousness, you make an intresting, dare-I-even say intriguing case, for the potentially harmful effects that running a public UA-cam account like this one can have on someone's psyche.. Geeezsh.
And by the way, I can see why a janitor might suddenly decide to fire everybody at his office, if given the chance - A far lighter workload, perhaps.
There's a WHOLE LOT of really crazy Mormons.
Florida & Utah - where weirdos congregate.
Yep god complex
Children on UA-cam deserve the same rights as child actors. UA-cam must stop parents from profiting off of their children. Aside from this kind of abuse, no one wants every single awkward part of their childhood recorded and on the internet for life. It’s not fair and causing so many issues, some we might not even be aware of today
💯💯🎯😒
Agree completely! They can't give consent to be blasted to the world for every little thing. As for Ruby and her channel, I came across it through the Dad Challenge Podcast when she took the bathroom door off her son's bathroom and cancelled Christmas for 2 of her kids because they forgot to put something away. Totally ridiculous behavior IMO.
Exactly!!!!! Let's be louder this needs to be heard!
Wow, that's a good point. Some people have their kids' faces on screen almost 24/7,..sickening society we live in
Yes, views who are mostly coming from pedophiles. When their children aren’t in videos their views go way down. All of these channels can see who’s watching those videos and exactly what frames of the videos are repeatedly watched and it’s always when the kids are in swimsuits, taking baths or the moaning of their childbirth videos. If you had neighbors looking over your fence, or looking in the window of your delivery room you certainly wouldn’t think it was ok.
I read in an article that UA-cam actually shut her channels down - the first one was after viewers were reporting it for exploiting and harming children and the other was shut down after they were arrested.
I can’t help but to think to myself, there needs to be protection measures in place for minor children of these “family channels” online. It’s a really, really sad and evil world we live in, folks.
I worked as a classroom aide for special needs children in a wealthy school district. One of the "therapies" for an autistic child was to throw parts of his lunch away in front of him for certain facial tics that he would not "control." I refused to do so, knowing that I could lose my job for not carrying out a prescribed "program." I agonized over who I should report it to.
Two days later an excuse was made to cease implementing this so called therapy after I brought up the issue.
Sounds like ABA. God bless you for calling out that abuse and doing right by that child!
Thank you for doing the right thing. ❤
@@carrielundell4224Is this actually part of ABA?
This reminds of a teacher my daughter once had, where if a student was anxious they were told to sit in a tote away from the class! Yes, a tote! The ones you use in a storage room. She was a grade 1/2 teacher. And get this, she’s a vice-principal now. How people get away with these things is infuriating. And we all know it’s never just one time or one thing.
Thank you for standing up for a child,I'm autistic and ABA is very traumatic .
The moment I heard she made her son to sleep on a bag and refused to bring her daughter school lunch as a punishment, I knew she is a sadistic monster, period.
Just BC she said it DOESNT mean it really happend....IT couldve just been for ENTERTAINMENT.....positive vibes DONT bring views...IT'S the NEGATIVE vibes that BRING loads of VIEWS...this is WHY..the news media is KNOWN for. So if she goes to COURT...it is best to wait BEFORE we JUDGE...
The child she refused to bring food is the one the state found in the house...
Same
Agreed. Sounds like a few religious rigid fanatics I've known.
I didn’t parent this way but not “horrific”
Isn't it amazing how evil can hide in plain sight.
This is an extremely disturbing and heartbreaking case. Thank you for your analysis.

Ruby Frank reminds me of Jim Bob Duggar. Similar wholesome family image for the public and sad reality for the children.
People give attention to these “perfect families” but I am always suspicious of people who appear to have it all “figured out” This woman is a witch and the father WHERE WERE YOUUU???
A little more time under this woman's "care" and I'm pretty sure we would have another Lori Vallow situation. I am so glad they were rescued.
As someone who is undoing the damage that my horrific parents have done to me, it made me cry for these poor babies to hear that they went through the same thing I went through. To be telling teachers, counselors, school nurses, your doctor, your social workers, your therapist, CPS, etc. Every adult in your life failing you, and not believing you, and believing your abusive mother instead of you. I am so happy that these children have advocates for them. It’s going to be so hard, and healing isn’t linear. But I pray for these children, and I wish nothing but the best for them. Every child deserves a parent. Not every parent deserves their child.
You too will be in my prayers ❤️
❤
I went through abuse as did some of my cousins.
So sorry and sad you were treated this way. God bless.
My Mother was my abuser and my family protected her because she was just so out of her mind. In my forties now I wish they helped me and got me help. Thankfully I’m a strong woman who can heal appropriately. I do what I need to do but how I wish someone got me the help I so needed. She had me so afraid of asking for help, she would tell me this was the best I could get and that go ahead get help and laugh. She told me nightmare stories about people who ‘got help’ when I became a Mother it was traumatizing to me because the things she did and said to me, I could never ever do it to my son. I’ve always wanted to be the opposite of my Mother and I am. I’ve broken those generational curses and removed her from my and my sons lives. She and my sister who were the biggest abusers in our family. They lied together about me because finally, I spoke up against my Mother and told her how I thought. She didn’t like that so my sister spread worse lies. My son is a wonderful soul and I’m so grateful I am different from them. The tears I cried and abuse I suffered my son will never experience. I took that for our team. My son will not be a bully or abuser either. Nothing my mother ever said to me was the truth and I don’t lie to my son. Our relationship is beautiful and my job as his Mother is to love him, support him and help him become the man he wants to be. My Mother has nothing to do with who I am, who I’ve always been and who I am today. She used to always take credit for my successes, even though she never helped me with anything or cheered me on. The better I did the worse the abuse and the meaner she got. I think she felt I was making her look like a failure. I surpassed all her failures with amazing marks
Flame, your mother could not take away your sense of a strong self and strong self-regard. I pray for your continued healing.
I still don't understand how it took so long for her to get caught and how alarm bells didn't ring when she told the school not to give her daughter lunch because she forgot her lunch. Those poor kids were failed.
What if the prevailing tendency in this school was this kind of " religious" discipline?
Doesn’t baffle me. This kind of aggressive abusive narcissism (probably kinda OCPD though) is getting more and more airtime while people are being trained to view abused people as faulty
@@bthomson l thought the Doc said the kids were 'home-schooled'.....?🤷
School were the ones who called CPS the first time, apparently, after that investigation they said the claims were unfounded 🤷♂️
They were in an out the school.. at the point were the issue with the lunch happened, they were going to AHS private school in Utah. But previous to that Russel was home schooled for one year, and I think at one point chad did too. The rest of the time they were in public and private schools. Then after youtube Finished... I dont know it
Gives a perspective on social media that her family channel had around 2 million subscribers and yet I had never heard of her and I'm on youtube tons.
The Mormon Church loved Jodi's brand of therapy and recommended her to countless families. They also paid for the therapy for families that couldn't afford it.
I swear i only saw an evil in her eyes. The only time they lit up was when she'd catch one of her kids breaking her rules. And the father also needs to be held accountable.
Same, evil eyes can be seen by some people and everyone can too by following the rules to purify their hearts.

Right?! War on drugs when one of the main reasons people get hooked on drugs is due to child abuse. Make a war on child abuse and the demand for drugs dries up.
she wanted to protect kids from the outsiders.. by airing her family to the world
My father was very tough on my older brother. One day when he came home a few minutes after we had sat down for dinner, my father refused to let my brother sit down with us. My father also kept track of how often my brother used the word "ain't". My brother had to pay a penny each time he used the word. There was a little chart in the kitchen for everyone to look at. In short, my father embarrassed my brother in front of the family.
What was the father’s role in this abuse? No mention of his part in this horror story.
Exactly.
Well we have videos of her directly confessing to believing her torture was too nice. So…
I read a piece about her husband today. Apparently the children are under his care at the moment.
My understanding is that he was complicit during everything filmed for "8 Passengers". Then, when Ruby teamed up with Jodi, his involvement became less and less. They then split up after she launched "Moms of Truth" with Jodi (as it was more "mother-based", meaning that she didn't need him anymore) and she moved in with Jodi, with her youngest kids (the 2 who were hospitalised) in tow. So he wouldn't have been present for the whole "hostage victims" abuse, but whether he knew about it or not remains to be seen.
The early, more psychological abuse was definitely taking place with his knowledge. But the physical "tying them up and causing wounds" thing seems to have happened at Jodi's house, so it wasn't under his roof like the early stuff, but I've no idea if he knew about it. As the arrests are related to this later physical abuse, I would imagine that's why he hasn't been mentioned - as he has not been arrested or charged. Yet.
More and more is coming out everyday about this case, so I imagine we'll have an answer before long.
He jumped ship, a long time ago when Jody Hildebrant became the eighth passenger and started steering ship to disaster.
It takes a lot for a child to be mindful and brave enough to stand up for themselves/siblings, knowing it may cause trouble for a parent that they love…(despite abuse) The mental abuse is the most challenging to discern and overcome
"That's billion with a B as in bewildering"... Nailed it! Love your dry sense of humor!
Ruby spoke about mental health awareness, all the while damaging her children’s mental and physical health!
I am an adult survivor of very devastating childhood abuse and violence.
I know how these types operate. 😡
I hope her cellmates show just as much “restraint” she showed her kids throughout their entire life.
Let us hope she drops the soap at least one time 😂
👏🏾👏🏾
Oh you know the "other ladies" will not take too kindly to child abusers. Justice WILL be served then unless the Mormon Corporation intervenes.
Great thought- provoking video, Dr. Grande. This tragic situation, in my opinion, seems to parallel that of the Turpin family, of Perris, California. In all of these situations, it seems like the kids are the true victims.⚘❤
Many of us could never be friends with a family like hers. They are very photogenic. It was interesting to get a glimpse into their world, which seemed ideal.
I'd never heard of Ruby Frank until this news broke. I watched a video where she said that she was punishing two of her kids by not allowing Santa to bring them gifts. I got "Lori Daybell" vibes from this psycho!
Yes. Exactly. These women are off their rockers. They make me sick. These poor babies!!
Oh yes, me too. They are truly insane or narcissistic people that use the excuse that their religion prescribes this for their family, but then kids are malnourished or die!
Exactly!
Same, very worrying
That video where she was crying about how she wanted to be a good mother and save her kids… ugh. Reminded me so much of the way Lori Daybell would talk. It made me sick to my stomach.
I have no doubt that if this incident of the boy escaping had not happened, the mother would have spiraled too deep and eventually killed one or more of her children in order to "save" them.
I had the same thought
In the "name of god". That's why all cults must be illegal. It's a breeding ground for evil people.
That's a possibility.😥
Sometimes religious teachings will create a dangerous & “Spare the Rod” kind of psychosis that becomes dangerous…
🔥like the burning at the stake mindset🔥
Another lori daybell
Dr. Grande, I always love your analysis. The covert shade sprinkled in makes it lighten the dark undertones of the subject matter lol.
Love the ConneXions roasting, Dr. G! It’s so ridiculous. And how horrible that this mom was exploiting her children for her own gain for years and abusing them while creating a channel and podcast to give her horrific parenting advice. 😫😤
They are like Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell luckily no one was killed! Those poor kids I really hope they can work through this trauma.
I totally agree. Thankfully she was caught before it reached that point.
My cousin is phony like this and beats her children. She's also a member of the LDS church 😒
More like the Turpins imo
Exactly! Got those Lori Vallow chills even when only the arrest news were popping... But now, knowing these disturbing details, similarities go way too strong.
@@charliechurch5004
Please report it, you can do so anonymously 🙏
So many "parents" are having kids to exploit them online !! That's not parenting ... embarrassing them, humiliating them, turning their lives into a circus, and not giving them privacy are all signs of mental and emotional abuse , and making me worry about the type of generation they are raising: a traumatized generation !
FIRST: The Mormon Church has a Media Department that helps all families develop a Vlog Channel, Family channels, ones that reflect the Mormon Church "Values".
See Mormons are forced to give a MANDATORY 10% of their entire earnings BEFORE TAXES as their "Tithing". So the more money they make, the more money the church recieves.
The fact this child wasn't believed it because those kids are Mormon. The ENTIRE neighborhood, school, cops, teachers & portion of that town are all in the same ward. It's against church Doctrine to call the cops. Even the police that are Mormon are required to tell the ward Bishop & the CHURCH "prophet's" decide if she is guilty, what her punishment is & they work it out with the father of the house. The father is the "head" of his congregation aka Family.
You guys need to look into how the Mormon Church lead to JJ & Tylee being murdered by Lori Daybell.
And we the follows are paying them thousand of dollars to watch them do this
it should be illegal. plain and simple
I see abuse daily on IG and not many call it out, videos of parents provoking babies, toddlers, and children and making them cry or telling them to do something they can’t understand and calling them sassy or arguing with their toddlers. Unfortunately, it can be funny as children are and most laugh it off not seeing the big picture 💙🙏🏻💙
From what I've seen of clips from "Connexions" it's just a class in dismissing other people's concerns, problems and feelings under the guise of revealing the "truth". The truth of course being what people like Ruby have decided is "truth" so they can dismiss the "distortions" of those around them under the guise of some kind of superior mental health knowledge.
I think the real reason Ruby deleted her account is because she indeed felt she had been too "permissive" with her kids and wanted to begin implementing significantly harsher punishments and rules that she couldn't hide if they were on camera all the time.
I know plenty of controlling parents. However, she takes it to the next level. She didn’t just control electronic access or what they wore. She actually controlled whether or not they received proper nourishment. Those poor children. I hope they get the help they need to recover
All parents control the nutrition of the children as the shoppers and preparers of meals. I think what’s key in this situation is she used food as a form of punishment and control and not nourishment and love.
As I said, she controlled whether or not they received proper nourishment. She didn’t control how they received it but whether or not they did. That’s not what parents do. Withholding basic nutrients is not proper punishment for anyone
@@elizabethhamm5320 its not proper, but its something some people find acceptable as a form of punishment. Lets not forget often these people punish for the weirdest shit and there are weird rules that only makes sense to them.
Tell me. Are parents so inept that they would trust this women for info about raising their children?? Lord help us!!
There was actually a parenting group that they ran and took questions from.
Omg !!
@@Truffle85The LDS Church is a weird cult. No wonder the people in it are insane. (Lori Vallow, for one - can anyone understand where she's coming from???)
Scary hey 😢
Inept is not really the correct word These are people who never wanted to be parents in the first place and are looking for ways to be controlling and abusive If they can do it on UA-cam then it must be okay Wonderful validation "UA-cam"
Everyone who had joined, should be investigated as it truly makes you wonder how many children are out there, defenceless and with parents like these.
The 911 call is absolutely heartbreaking. The neighbor's voice breaks more than once because of the boy's condition 😢
My mom ALWAYS packed my lunch and snacks, even now at 24 and im university she sometimes makes lunch for me. I couldnt imagine a 6yo having to pack their lunch.
This woman is insane, her kids deserve better.
That’s so sweet of your mom!
With Ruby, it’d be one thing if she was packing a lunch with her daughter to show her how to create a balanced meal, but instead she put the pressure on a young child to pack her own food and punished her for not bringing it. In reality, if anyone were to be punished for that, it should have Ruby, who is morally and legally responsible for feeding her child. It’s ridiculous that she blamed the 6 year old instead of herself!
I think it’s sweet for your mom to pack a lunch for you growing up and even at 24, but there are far worse things to imagine. Just keeping it real.
That's the other extreme...
I knew a 4 year old who used to pack her own lunch, cause she enjoyed doing it. Her mum used the time she saved in not having to do it to read to her daughter & generally show her absolute & devoted love & affection.
I also used to run a youth group in an inner city area, where kids were almost all raised to be really independent. When we ran a 2 night camp with them, a few of the parents of the 8-10 year old boys allowed their kids to pack their own bags & didn't check them. I'd written up a list of what they needed to bring to the camp, but obvoiusly it was not clear enough when I had written
"2 changes of clothes
1 set of clothes that can get messy
PJ's or other clothes to wear to bed"
The boys packed 1 tshirt, 1 jumper & counted the clothes they were wearing as another set, including for bed, so when they had a flour fight on the first evening, we quickly discovered they had no change of clothes other than what they were to wear to bed. Washing machine at the campsite got a LOT of work that weekend! Parents just laughed & thought it was a good lesson for the kids in independence & learning to follow directions better. Parents had figured even if they screwed up, 2 days & 2 nights wasn't going to harm them & trusted us to deal with the fall out, or call them if we really had to (one parent had to drive to the campsite to collect a homesick child that couldn't be calmed down anyway, they would have done the same with clothes if it was really needed)
Translation, I don't see the issue with a young child making their own lunch, some kids enjoy doing things like that. The issue is that the mum realised the lunch had been forgotten & didn't drive it to the school & deliver it, along with a big hug & kiss. Alternatively, if she was working & unable to deliver, I would expect parents involved in that level of independence developing in their kids to be organising money for the child to buy food at school, or ordering food from a delivery company to be delivered to the child at school & calling the school to clear this, NOT calling the school to tell them to make the child starve!
Where is the father in these horrible family dynamics? He should be accountable for the misery these kids were going through. She certainly does not deserve to be part of these kids' lives, neither the father.
I’m a doctor and CPS often find very credible claims “unfounded”. I have had reports come from doctors, teachers and one Parent on the same child and still CPS final findings are “unfounded”. Now the child is demonstrating similar and additional criminal behavior. SMH. It’s so sad. What is the criteria for a CPS investigation?
Unfortunately CPS is very corrupt at it's core and definitely doesn't have the well-being of the children in mind. It leaves children in abusive situations without a safe fall back. Yet another broken, corrupt system.
Most CPS caseworkers are unmarried women who were abused as children and they will always find fault with men. The children who are really abused are left in the abusive situations and the children who are removed from their families are traumatized for the rest of their lives. The caseworkers have way too much power over the fate of families and most of them have no idea of the harm they cause others while somehow getting satisfaction from the power they have to destroy lives in some sort of sick payback for their awful childhoods. There is no good reason to go into social work unless you crave power over others. The pay is lousy and you won't have many friends.
Trying to limit the amount of actual work and filling out forms….
@@unpluggeddogdreamswhat the fuck?
I’ve been waiting for you to make a video analysis of this situation! Considering one of the alleged abusers is a licensed mental health provider who was clearly involved in the mistreatment of children, all while presenting themselves as some sort of authority on parenting and raising children…

Totally in awe of the older daughter for standing up. Well done, I wish for you and your siblings a good life.

@@julie8936her church likely condones it?
Notice that her business partner/friend/whatever.. the owner of the house where the boy escaped is a smug fat toad who allowed children to be malnourished and bound and tortured in her home. She could have fed them a 10 percent of what she eats and they would have been fine.
Unfortunately if your kids look week groomed and dressed on Sunday, no one pays much attention

Yes I thought that same thing today...
I certainly agree of your review of this case. I am no expert, of course, and I don’t even have children but when a child has to escape a window to seek help, this is a very sad situation of abuse and cruelty by parents. To me, it almost seems there must be some kind of relationship and maybe known or unknown to the husband between Jody and Ruby. I feel this relationship guilt by Ruby caused her to project these feelings exhibited by the increase of her extreme punishments to her own children.
I love his deadpan elegantly worded insults
That was quick. I’m glad you covered this. This “mother” has been problematic for years. I know Ruby and her husband, Kevin, are separated. Was Kevin not visiting his children regularly?
ConneXions reminds me of the Bill Gothard cult. I can’t help but wonder how many children are suffering with parents like this who are involved in cults like this.
Pray for them. They are getting out little by little and finding out what really matters. Let’s pray they pick up the parts about God’s love and Him being with them in their trials and that they are strong with Him and nothing else from these chucklehead parents and “leaders”.

I was abused by a stepmother who did similar things with food and duck tape and also bragged about how religious our family was and how she didn’t put up with any childhood nonsense. Fast forward to being a adult i find stories cause me become incredibly upset and emotional. I’m glad to hear the behavioral science/ psychological behind

@@JustAnAverageWoman69 in denial. Total denial. But was important to appear as a outward Christian family there was a period of time she made me eat on the floor for being a messy kid at meal time.

We would tell him they would argue about the incident or he would makes excuses about how we just made her so upset. As adults he tries to frame it as that us adult kids and his wife put him in the middle.
