I hope others come forward. It's a matter of time before she causes a child's death, if she hasn't already.

I doubt he would have locked the boy in his house than allow him to go with jodi. I've listened to that phone call so many times but when he becomes overcome with emotion, tears provoke my eyes.

    I know what Ruby did was horrible, but why does Kevin get to say that he neglected and was away from then for over a year because he was brainwashed by Jodi….but Ruby is “blaming” Jodi? Didnt they both do what Jodi taught/instructed them? No one ever mentions that if he had not listened and jept an eye on his kids or refused to leave…they would not have been harmed…I know there is a lot we dont know, bit why are his actions not questioned and the bad oarenting style he practiced with Ruby before Jodi and in the beginning with Jodi? and why is he jjst now divorcing Ruby? if he knew her parenting style was bad? i just dont het it.

    I do think Jodi manipulated Ruby and was the leader but the only reason Ruby was able to be manipulated and easily led was because she was already an abuser. There is nothing anyone could say to me that could make me do those things to my child she is an adult no one should be able to manipulate her like that so she has to be responsible for that. But that plea hearing apology was the most insincere emotionless thing I’ve ever heard - to my family and children like her kids were only as affected as the rest of her family. I don’t think she sees them as individual people that have feelings and emotions.
