Ruby Franke Vlogs Torture Of 6 Kids For YouTube Views - Exposed By All The New Deleted Footage
[Music]. bada bing badao if you go to Utah. there's this small town called Ivans if. you ever thought to yourself hey I want. to live on Mars This is where you're. going to go it's like living in the. center of a giant crater on the surface. of Mars the entire town is pretty much. sunken in in the center and then. surrounding the town you have these. massive hard edged mountains it's not. green there's no trees on them they're.
like this very beautiful shade of red. their Red Rock mountains it's. beautiful until you keep looking at the. pictures on Google Images because then. you start getting freaked out there's. something about it that feels like. beyond the mountains there's just. nothing it's just desert you cannot even. find any shade really in Ivan's Utah. there's no trees you go to your backyard. it's like a Red Canyon you feel like a. little scorpion is about to crawl out. into your house and instead of trees.
they have these um green balls like. think of like watermelons without the. stripes and they're Pokey they're. they're cactuses just all over your lawn. that's it it's it's a true desert I. don't even know if it gets that windy. just think of a Barren landscape but. it's beautiful it looks so pure it's. like a unique kind of aesthetic that the. locals love and there's only 10,000. locals in the small town of Ivan Utah. you go to I Utah because you want to.
live peacefully you want to live quietly. and more importantly you want to live. very privately especially if you pay for. a $5 million house in Ivan's Utah that. typically means you want to be left. alone August 30th. 2023 In This Very secluded wealthy. neighborhood a 12-year-old boy crawls. out the window of a $5.3 million house. he's dressed in this men's blue butt. Buton down dress shirt like you know.
those dress shirts but it's it's kind of. swallowing him up it looks like he took. it from his older brother's closet he. has on a pair of shorts and a pair of. socks no shoes his legs look quite frail. the way he walks is reminiscent of a. baby giraffe that learned to walk not. too long ago he's not stumbling it's not. like he's so shaky but it just looks. like he's either injured or very. uncomfortable walking it could be the. duct tape that's wrapped tightly around. his ankles it even looks like underneath.
the duct tapee there's some sort of. plastic Saran Wrap underneath and he has. this long very scorching hot walk ahead. of him he's just wearing socks this is. August 30th no trees no shade you're. looking at 100° weather but because. there's no shade the pavement reaches. about 140° F put that into perspective. it would be like if you took a cast iron. skillet put it on the stove top kept it. on high heat for 5 minutes took it off. and then put put your foot directly onto.
it that's what it feels like and that is. what this 12-year-old boy has just. crawled out of the window to do he has. to walk in this weather with just socks. to the neighbor's house this whole place. it's not a neighborhood in the. traditional sense I mean it is a. neighborhood but they're filled with $5. million houses the houses are really far. apart they're almost a few blocks apart. if you will you don't pay $5 million in. Ivan's Utah to live on top of your. neighbor so the space in between each. home feels at least like a few blocks.
and there's only three finished homes in. this entire neighborhood so far which. means this little boy has two shots two. chances and the duct tape around his. ankles and wrists are not helping the. sun is probably melting the tape into. his wounds he's already dehydrated he's. been starved just 2 seconds out in that. level of heat he likely feels laded and. just the friction from walking with. socks on that type of pavement can.
instantly cause Burns and blisters the. first house that he walks to he quietly. approaches the door and he takes a few. steps towards the front he sees the. doorbell reaches out presses it and he. just Waits he's waiting by the front. door very politely even he doesn't bang. on it immediately I mean I would expect. him to considering this could be life or. death for him but this 12-year-old boy. just Waits very patiently he stands. still for 40 seconds waiting for that. door to open he was so still that I.
actually thought I paused the footage. eventually he calmly knocks on the door. and waits again if there is nobody home. if they come back to get him it is all. over this boy's condition is only. getting worse and it's likely that the. wounds are going to get infected very. soon so he waits and he's so still as if. like if he were to move the homeowner. would be so scared they wouldn't open. the door but again nobody answers which. means there's only one more house that.
he can try and that's if he can even. make it to the house so he starts. walking and like I said there are three. finished homes in this neighborhood one. home that he's running from one where. nobody's home they didn't answer the. door and now he just has the last one. the third house he walks up and he rings. the. doorbell this woman's voice it's like a. automated message starts telling him. answer the door right now but if you'd. like to leave a message you can do it.
now he just stands there for a brief. second because that means there's. nowhere else he can run he has to go. back to the house I don't think he could. run onto the main road there's nobody. around and if they know that he's gotten. out of the window they're going to find. him and it's just going to be that much. worse for him he waits for a brief. second before turning around and you can. see his shoulder slump visibly in the. footage and his head is hanging and he. starts walking away from the last home's. front door this is is like almost.
positively the very last chance that he. has at survival and it's gone so he. didn't leave a message he just walked. away no he did not yet he takes about 20. steps he's about to fully leave the. front area of the house when the door. clicks open and this old man comes. out. yes all I was just wondering if you can. do two favors the little boy walks a.
little bit closer to the neighbor but. he's keeping his distance and the. neighbor he kind of sounds like a grumpy. old man well what are they uh taking me. to the nearest police. station well actually just one fine it's. likely by this point the old neighbor. spots the duct tape around his wrists. and ankles and he just looks so frail. like he hasn't had a real meal in weeks. and he says what's going on I have a. seat there is this personal.
[Music]. business have a. seat this is the starting point to all. the secrets that start coming out of. what was happening in that $5 million. house in Ivans Utah two children were. being held captive in a giant safe room. tied up with ropes they had physical. injuries that go deep down into the. flesh almost hitting the muscles and the. bones and then they would have cayenne. pepper just poured into them there's.
evidence of forc starvation forced to. walk around in the desert Barefoot. forced to sleep outside authorities. would later state had it not been now. these kids might not have made it the. two kids that were being held captive. and tormented are the kids of a famous. YouTuber a family vlogger who daily. vlogged most of her life as a mother to. six children this is the case of Ruby. Frankie and jod hilderbrand.
[Music]. we would like to thank today's sponsors. who have made it possible for rotten. Mingo to support the biz parents. Foundation they're a nonprofit. organization devoted to protecting. professional child performers and their. rights this episode's Partnerships have.
also made it possible to support rotten. mingo's growing team and we would also. like to thank you guys for your. continued support as we work on our. mission to be worthy Advocates as always. full show notes are available at Rotten. mango podcast.com today's case involves. some very well-known names in the mommy. blogger family blogger World Ruby and. Kevin Frankie and then their six. children best known by their channel. name eight passengers we're going to be. using the names of the two elest. children so you have sherry the eldest. daughter and Chad they are legal age and. have publicly spoken out about Ruby but.
we will only be referring to the four. youngest children as either their first. initial or just vaguely the son the. daughter regardless of if their info is. already out there additionally Sherry. Frankie recently published a book that I. read as research for this case and I. would recommend getting a copy or 10. just to show support for Sherry the book. is titled the house of my mother it is. so well written and she somehow it's. very interesting she somehow is able to. put into words what she felt during.
these very extreme times of duress and. it was so strange because even though. I've never gone through anything. remotely similar the way she words it I. feel like I can relate it's very. emotionally impactful and I think it's a. book that really makes you think and. gives you pause about the world of. family vlogging she's also just a. phenomenal writer but also a very. impressive source of inspiration for all. so please check that out that's going to. be in the show notes this book really.
does like come from my heart but as for. Content warnings there are quite a few. graphic themes of CA as well as food. restrictions and Wilderness therapy. camps and second to last disclaimer the. Franks are part or were part of the LDS. church we are not here to discuss the. church as a whole and the actions of the. perpetrator should not be generalized as. a representation of the religion itself. this is not an attack on the LDS Faith. or the church Ruby Frankie just happens. to be part of that church and she. sometimes happens to use the teachings.
to carry out her abuse so with that. being said this is going to be a. three-part series because of the renewed. interest in this case with the new. documentary that was released I received. a ton of requests to cover the case and. initially I was thinking okay I'm going. to keep it on the Slimmer side. considering how much coverage this case. has gotten over the years but the deeper. that we kept getting into it I mean. there's just no way to sum anything up. even reading Sherry's book and. researching this case there's so much. insight and this case is enacting change.
for a lot of people and for that reason. if you are maybe one of the few people. who haven't heard much about the case or. haven't gotten a deep dive this is going. to be a three-part episode in part one. we're going to go through Ruby Frankie's. YouTube career the signs of abuse that a. lot of netizens started picking up from. the beginning the evidence that she. practically uploads straight to the. internet herself and how Ruby Frankie. getting quote unquote cancelled leads to. her becoming more abusive and more. extreme and in part part two we're going. to cover jod hilderbrand this is Ruby's.
marriage counselor her therapist turned. cult leader and all the lives that Jody. hilderbrand has intentionally destroyed. as a so-called therapist jod. hilderbrandt has other alleged victims. to her abuse and was probably fighting. to be the world's worst marriage. counselor she would infiltrate marriages. and instigate divorces she would ruin. people's lives and the speculation is. she might have a dee rooted hatred for. men so in part two we're also going to.
go over the alleged romantic. relationship between Ruby Frankie and. jod hilderbrand in part three we go. through Ruby and jod fully just jumping. into cult territory Ruby's lengthy. journals detailing day by day of the. torture that she's inflicting on her own. children and what Ruby's husband Kevin. he's like a huge point of conversation. in all of this he's the father of the. six children people are wondering what. was he doing during all of this and why. wasn't he charged really yes so that's.
going to be in part three and with that. being said let's get started it's called. the rabbit stick room it kind of looks. like a back room it's got that like. nasty dark Navy carpet there's a full. fabric couch up against the wall on one. side and they've got those white. circular plastic fans and the lighting. is just back rooms it's abandoned office. lighting it's fluorescent it makes. everything look so depressing everything. every single Friday the door to the.
rabbit stick room opens and a bunch of. teenagers walk in that's just how they. call it rabbit stick a rabbit stick okay. a bunch of teenagers walk in they don't. even know each other these are not. friends they're not part of the same. school they're just random strangers. that happen to be teenagers they're all. given a new set of clothes and they're. all just wearing similar things go. change into these clothes and take this. time to say goodbye to life as you know. it because from now now on life is about.
survival the world is changing life is. not going to be easy anymore do you. think you have time to sit there and. ponder about social media and play video. games you don't now it's about staying. alive it's about finding food out in the. wild I mean there's no choice you have. to fend for yourself and this is your. life now all you get every single. teenager just gets a backpack all their. belongings are in this backpack whatever. they need to survive in the Arizona. wildlife in the will Wilderness if they.
lose something if they lose that. backpack it's gone life's not fair you. don't get a replacement how old are they. 12 to. 17 the most important supplies are a. giant piece of tarp in a sleeping bag. that's where you're going to sleep from. now on you don't get shelter you don't. get a tent the first week they say it's. a lot about processing the. grief you lost your family you lost your. friends you lose good food just a warm. nice meal with a lot of carbs sounds.
amazing or even just music and books you. don't have you don't have anywhere to. put a heavy book in your backpack you. got to carry this backpack around with. you everywhere you're walking like 5 10. miles a day you're going to bring books. you're going to bring a whole trilogy. set and then the next phase hits the. teenagers start finding ways to survive. which typically means they go through a. 3day fasting period because that's what. life is out like in the wilderness food. is not a guarantee neither is is toilet. paper or Comfort or really anything that.
last 5 to 6 weeks and probably for every. single second of it you feel like you're. not going to make it this is the. Anastasia Wilderness therapy camp for. teenagers it feels like Doomsday it. feels like the end of the world these. teenagers are thrown into the Wilderness. they're forced to fend for themselves. because they don't listen to their. parents at home the camp calls the. teenagers young. Walkers kind of creepy you will see a. group of teenagers just walking in the.
desert they have supervisors they have. Camp counselors or shadows as they like. to call them that you can go to I mean. you can't really go to them for anything. cuz you're supposed to survive on your. own mhm you just see them trekking 5 10. miles per day W some of these kids were. kidnapped to be here the Wilderness Camp. if they feel like you're not going to. come willingly consensually your parents. can sign a little slip and they will. come kidnap you in the middle of the.
night some kids said my parents told me. we were going to Disneyland and now I'm. eating a lizard because I'm. starving wow so this is like you know. remember the Chinese case that we. covered that parents will kidnap the. kids throw them into like this. concentration yes type of this is that. and there's so many of them in the. United States they go out into the. Wilderness in Arizona and according to. anastasi they quote they live A. Primitive lifestyle and learn the skills. into Technologies of the ancient ones.
young Walkers learn to cook their own. meals Food Packs are replenished weekly. and they learn to build shelters to. protect themselves from the elements. they may hike up to 10 m in a day and. seldom camp in the same place for more. than 2 nights if you are a teenager 12. to 17 years old and you struggle with. any sort of Behavioral challenges this. is what anastasi listed as depression. anxiety poor self-image low self-esteem. substance abuse internet gaming.
technology addiction learning. difficulties relational problems with. family trauma abuse bipolar disorder. disrespect Authority peer conflict legal. troubles poor social skills immaturity. lack of motivation if you mark any one. of those you are more than welcome to. join anastasi well you're not more than. welcome your parents are more than. welcome to sign you up and pay us money. there is no way not a single person. listening to this does not check off at. least one of those boxes I feel like I'm. a full grown adult I'm not even a teen. teenager and I check off almost all of.
them it's basically a desperate cash. grab targeted towards parents who don't. know how to raise a teenager and they. decide the best solution in all of this. is what if we just don't raise them what. if we just send them into the Wilderness. for 2 months. straight one nzen says I was forced to. go cold turkey on my alcohol addiction. and I was terribly sick because of that. I wanted to self- exit and I desperately. needed help I told the therapist that's. supposed to be part of our group that I.
needed more time with them because I was. only getting 15 minutes of therapy per. week that's part of the program they. tell you you get a therapist they told. me that the therapy was the hiking I was. doing they continue in addition there. were two days that my group's only water. source was from leftover like a leftover. cow trough just mixed with actual cow. [ __ ] in the water. supply we drank it by the end of my stay. I could barely walk my last night I laid. down on a bunch of rocks and I couldn't.
sleep because the coyotes were just. howling all night it sounded like they. were only a couple dozen feet away from. me I kept crying to the staff at night. telling them that I was so scared they. finally gave up and transported me to. another treatment. center one review of anastasi reads I am. begging you do not send your teen here. this program is abusive horrific and. sold as this amazing program that's. going to straighten out your troubled. teen with a strong focus on God it's not.
it's an excuse for sadistic unqualified. people to abuse your teenagers I cannot. put into words how twisted the people. running and working this program are. there is nothing helpful or positive. about making teens hate themselves one. journalist who went to anastasi says. they saw a 16-year-old boy lunge. lightning speed at a lizard to eat. because food is rationed at anastasi. they get a week's worth of food at a. time and each day is rationed for only.
2,000 calories per day for a growing. teenager even for like a pretty. sedentary lifestyle for a growing. teenager you need more than that and. you're just sitting at your computer. they're hiking 5 10 miles a day if you. eat up your food or someone steals your. food which seems to happen a lot then. you are just left offend by eating wild. plants lizards and bugs Anastasia. becomes a huge topic for conversation on. YouTube after a famous family vlogger. decides that she's going to send her. 14-year-old son done to anastasi and.
it's already bad enough that everyone on. the internet sees comments from neens. talking about how bad their time was at. Anasazi how they wanted to self- exit. after coming out how they irreparably. like just absolutely obliterated their. relationship with their parents after. being sent to Anasazi they're reading. all of this and this YouTuber is just. happily sending her son there neens are. outraged they're confused and the. YouTuber son's name is Chad. the worst part in all of this is after 2.
months in the wilderness Chad comes back. home and he's actually gained weight. when he was out there what and he says. on camera that he loved his experience. but a lot of netizens are confused his. conditions at home and how are they. worse than anastasi how did he gain 10. lbs hiking 10 mes a day in the. wilderness. that doesn't make sense is this still.
running today the program yes wow this. whole thing feels like Doomsday for. YouTuber Ruby Frankie the whole world is. falling apart the apocalypse is coming. everything is dying and it kind of all. starts with um. Disneyland it's interesting there's a. lot of people who really want to be good. at something and then there's a lot of. people who don't really care if they're. good at something as long as you think. that they are good at something they all. say the same thing so it's very hard to. differentiate who is who like who.
actually wants to be good at it and who. just wants to be seen to be good at it. it is pretty clear Ruby Frankie just. wants to be seen as a good mom I don't. know if she had any intention to. actually be a good mom Kevin says that. in their religion they're taught the. only purpose in life is to become a. parent that's the goal that's what. everyone should strive to but if. everybody gets there then how are you. special so Ruby's new mission is to be. the perfect mom but it's not just enough. enough for all of her family members to.
be like Ruby you're such a good mom for. her to walk into church and they say. Ruby I don't know how you do it with six. kids that's not good enough she wants. strangers at the mall to tell her that. she's a good mom she wants to maximize. the amount of Praise that she gets so. she needs a larger audience and that is. the birth of the YouTube channel eight. passengers Ruby is family vlogging now. side note Kevin says the name of the. channel is very symbolic we were all in. this vehicle together with our family.
driving down this road called. life the first video ever uploaded is a. ruby standing around the kitchen island. and she's got five kids with her she's. got the eldest daughter Sherry then she. has the son Chad then she has two. daughters and another son and there's a. cake in front of her cuz it's a gender. reveal she's about to have our sixth and. final kid when was this a long time ago. yeah this was years years ago like. almost 10 years ago oh wow they cut into.
the sponge cake and the cake is pink. they're having a baby girl they've got. two sons and four girls mhm and Ruby. says you know the main purpose of this. channel is I just want our channel to be. a ray of sunshine in a world where. people just criticize each other and. make each other feel bad and we're here. to show that happy families are a. reality I love coming and doing little. simple things with my family because it. just just makes all my worries go away.
just for a little bit but it all falls. apart at 2:00 in the morning Chad the. eldest son he wakes up the youngest son. so there's two boys the youngest son is. probably what like 10 probably like 7. years old at this point and he's like. wake up we're going to Disneyland it's a. surprise you got to pack your stuff and. we got to go get your sunglasses get. your Sun hat don't forget your sunscreen. Chad is telling the little boy this is. the same one that was walking in the. neighbor neighborhood the little boy yes.
so Chad is telling his little brother. come on you got to get all your stuff. and he's so excited he starts packing. all of his things shoving them into a. suitcase he starts hauling them like. down the stairs he's ready to go to. Disney this is going to be a family road. trip I mean this is probably going to be. the highlight of the whole year and. maybe it's even more convincing because. they the parents are YouTubers YouTubers. do crazy things all the time but the. whole thing is a prank it's like a. relatively innocent prank Chad is. goofing around they're not going to.
Disneyland oh Chad is pranking the. little brother yeah and then the parents. are recording this no the parents wake. up in the middle of the night to the. younger brother crying because he was so. excited to go to Disneyland and now Chad. is in very big trouble this is the start. of Doomsday for Ruby Frankie almost a. year later summer of 2020 Ruby is. sitting up on the floor she is leaned up. against the wall with her son Chad and.
her other daughter on her other side so. she's in the middle she's sandwiched and. just vlogging I'm like you will do what. I say when Chad just casually mentions. he just says my bedroom was taken away. for 7 months and then you give it back. like a couple weeks ago and Ruby just. starts cheesing like she's got this big. old gummy smile and she's I don't think. her viewers know that you SLE I've been. sleeping on a bean bag since October and. they give my room back like 2 weeks ago.
oh I'll give you the reason why I lost. my bedroom I think so I think this is a. reason at least this is the reason. that's my head it's pretty funny but now. I look back it's pretty depress no we. never told our viewers and Chad goes on. to explain that I woke my brother up at. 2:00 in the morning and I told him that. we're going to Disneyland and he has to. pack and he made his bed and all neatly. he packed all of his clothes in the. suitcase and then he walked out the door. and he's like all happy he has his. sunglasses on and Chad is kind of. smiling a little bit giggling a little.
bit while sharing the story because I. mean it's truly an innocent prank. between siblings and then also he's in a. vlog so I would imagine he's not like. yeah this is why I got my bedroom taken. away I don't know but Ruby starts. yelling if you think it's funny then you. that was 7 months ago maybe you need. longer without a bedroom it it was not. funny and she's glaring at him like a. little Karen Ruby explains that's why.
the bedroom setup has been this way with. the younger son getting a bigger bedroom. than the older son who's a teenager and. Chad has been has been given a very. small bedroom but even that's been taken. away she says quote but what you guys. didn't know was Chad didn't get any room. he didn't he didn't get anything he was. sleeping on the floor in the family room. and he just got his bedroom back and. that's because he shown up consistently. without bullying the kids Chad also. hasn't had a flip phone smart phone any. kind of phone and it's been over a year.
I still have no intention of returning a. phone then she turns the camera to her. younger daughter and we took her phone. away in November and you may never get. your phone back the younger daughter. just responds yeah probably. not uh if I was to go back and redo. anything in parenting this is Ruby. telling her viewers it would be to not. give the kids a phone on both side of. her these are teenagers. they just look like they're forced to be.
here and now Ruby is taunting them like. you're never going to get your phone. back it's just all sorts of Weird But. the saddest part is in the background. you can hear Chad saying and now I have. no friends you can play with friends no. like I don't have friends I don't have. friends either I don't even know where. they live they're pretty far away so. summer goal become the best athlete I. possibly can how do you feel about not. having any friends sucks but I don't. don't feel safe or accepted in any.
friend group so that's really vulnerable. of you to say that on camera cuz you. don't have to film that no it's true. though and and then she just skips over. Chad's feelings and says what I have. seen as a parent when you decide to take. things away you really do want your kids. to have these things and it's been so so. difficult to take a phone away to take a. bedroom away to take iPads away to take. access away it hurts me as much as it. hurts my kids like feeling bad like I.
feel bad which Chad calls her out on. that so then what do you mean you have. no intention of giving our phones back I. mean it doesn't seem like you feel that. bad about it then and she just excuses. her behavior in this 18-minute Vlog. three of her six kids expressed to Ruby. Frankie that they feel sad and upset. because they have no friends and I don't. know maybe I have too much religious. trauma but this reminds me of the Sunday. School teachers that force you to open.
up about something you're insecure about. and then they tell you thanks for being. so vulnerable and then turn around and. condemn you to the deepest darkest pits. of hell and then you're like oh what was. that for why did I even say anything. interestingly enough Ruby se's nothing. wrong with this whole situation to the. point where she's willing to post it. online even her editor which has. probably seen some insane things come. from this woman they think this is going. to be the highlight of the entire Vlog. they can kind of edit around this bed. conversation and highlight it as the.
focal point teenage son doesn't have a. bedroom for 7 months rubby uploads the. final video makes it live and all hell. breaks loose the comments are coming in. at full speed I feel so bad for the kids. she is crazy her parenting is horrible. these parents are insane imagine. insisting that your kids under 10 manage. their Electronics independently while. you yourself literally can't put your. phone away to stop filming even when. your children are completely clearly. uncomfortable being filmed and hide from.
the camera eight passengers more like. six prisoners you've got to be kidding. me Ruby Frankie is a disgusting mother I. hope you die in your sleep these are the. comments hi I just wanted to tell you. that I hope you rot in hell you're a. disgrace to the LDS Community you should. be excommunicated you're a Godless woman. and with these comments and with this. video everything starts tanking I mean. they say the descent into hell is. gradual this feels like a broken. elevator just dropping to the Ground. full speed and the only person inside is. Ruby Frankie this channel goes from.
making $1,600 a day in just ad Revenue. That's not including brand Partnerships. that's just people clicking on her. videos she's making close to $600,000 a. year on this YouTube channel their daily. views drop by more than 50% and the bulk. of their earnings they come from Brand. Partnerships which she's pulling deals. with like clor rocks narwhal ruggable. this is like wholesome family Vlog. branding none of them want to be. associated with a mom who spends all of. her energy scheming up cruel and unusual.
punishments for her kids so seeing as. their business is going down Ruby and. Kevin take probably the most ill-advised. action that they could in this situation. which is allegedly Mass delivering a. bunch of season Tois letters to creators. that were talking about their parenting. like commentary channels listen I don't. know Season to cist they just light a. big fire under my butt I get so. excited like why do you want me why do. you want me to shut up what did I say. say but the worst response that Ruby has.
in this situation is she makes this. fulllength Instagram post about. everything happening in 2020 with black. lives matter the senseless murder of. George Floyd and she tells the world. this is without even apologizing or even. addressing the bed situation with her. son chat she a white woman who relates. she says she relates to George Floyd's. hardships her condensed Instagram post. reads my heart hurts for the murder of. George Floyd my heart hurts for being.
accused of abuse when my motives have. always been love and real abuse actually. occurs on a daily basis throughout the. world the bad part is as much as. everyone wants Ruby to feel the deepest. depths of Internet cancellation. technically it still impacts the entire. family Sherry the eldest daughter the. author of the book she says I think our. numbers were like consistently declining. and any engagement that we did have was. negative so before this they had their. fair share of haters that would nitpick.
oh I don't think Kevin's interested in. Ruby anymore oh I think this kid is a. brat I think she's spoils her kids they. would have these little hate comments. here and there but it was generally seen. as a positive family Vlog Channel mhm. and now it's just like the floodgates to. Hell have opened Chad says we're. basically cancelled our views just like. tanked we lost like 90% of our. income wow and a lot of netizens say. they saw this whole thing coming they. comment I liked Ruby but it was getting.
obvious that she's obsessed with making. her YouTube channel work the giveaways. the acting silly when she's never acted. that way before other commenters are. flooding her Channel I get major. narcissistic mother vibes from Ruby she. favors kids controls food portions what. they can wear she looks perfect on the. outside but I get major creepy vibes. from her major unhappiness inside their. home another one is diagnosing through. the screen which kind of problematic but. also maybe they're not wrong I don't.
know you tell me Ruby gives me parenting. traits that are similar to The Queen. character profile for narcissistic. personality disorder she's obsessed with. attention she loves the compliments. about her looks she loves hearing people. say she's a great mother she loves. hearing people say she's a great wife. but she seems so freaking fake I can't. stand it Ruby does not self-reflect she. decides everybody is wrong this is. cancel culture they're trying to harm. her and her reputation either burn in. hell as I have told or disappear off the.
face of the Earth and I'm not going. anywhere she brings up to the world she. starts doing these little interviews and. she tells everybody Chad has his room. back and I posted him doing like a room. tour a few weeks ago and look how happy. he is which by the way people start. flocking to that video of him. redecorating his room cuz he just got it. back but we didn't know that at the time. and it's under a new level of screw scy. and they realized that his bedroom door. is doorless like there's no door the.
door has been taken off the hinges. providing zero privacy which just adds. an entire canister of gasoline to the. fire the Frankies respond by saying Chad. chose the bean bag when he didn't have a. bedroom for 7 months because he said it. was the most comfortable not a great. start to addressing the situation but. they continue he also removed the door. to his bedroom in an effort to be. transparent and help regain his parents. trust that's crazy unless Chad was.
caught with a Breaking Bad level meth. lab in his room which he obviously. wasn't how desperate do you have to be. to try and earn your parents' trust to. be this extreme and I say that with all. disrespect towards the Frankie parents. and sympathy for Chad Ruby continues the. reason that we got cancelled was because. I was demonstrating as I have done from. day one what it responsible mother looks. like what is the motive for the hate. being thrown at me I'm the anti. to these kids acting out and they know.
it understandably everything that. they're saying only makes the situation. worse and worse and it makes Ruby and. Kevin look like even worse parents than. the initial video if you can even. believe it when this inevitably. backfires Ruby just stays glued to her. computer deleting negative comment after. negative comment after negative comment. Kevin admits yeah Ruby likely started. the entire family YouTube channel for. money yes but also because like I said. she just wants to be praised for being a. great mom he says and when she sets her.
mind to something hell and Earth. combined could not stop her and she was. going to make her Vlog bigger and better. than everybody else's the success is. actually not very immediate in fact. Ruby's siblings they all have their own. family YouTube channels this is I didn't. even know they were all related I didn't. even know they existed to be honest but. before marrying Kevin and becoming Ruby. Frankie Ruby was Ruby Griffith she's got. four younger siblings she's the oldest.
and there's her brother Bo he and his. wife Emily have a vlog Channel they're. not the famous ones in the family I. guess you could say but they have a vlog. Channel and then there's Bonnie she's. married with four kids and Vlogs pretty. much every single aspect of her entire. life and then after Bonnie in birth. order is Julie who has five kids and a. YouTube channel and then Ellie is the. youngest and she has four kids and. they're actually one of the more. successful ones at their height eight. passengers was the most successful out.
of all the Griffith family members and. then it was Ellie and Jared Ruby's. parents have a channel called Grandma. and Grandpa Griffith so all of them how. many followers does Ruby Frankie's. Channel had 2 point like six at her. height and then the Ellie and Jared had. I think close to two but they had her. their birth video so I think Ellie. struggled with IVF and she finally was. able to give birth that birth bir video. had like 15 million views oh wow so I.
mean they do get views and initially. Ruby was not the one doing the best on. YouTube that is until they upload their. very first viral video very. straightforwardly titled baby climbs out. of. crib and then they just start blowing up. it's on camera 24/7 Kevin Frankie is a. professor at BYU and Ruby is a. stay-at-home wife and now she's vlogging. Now Kevin says whenever I came in.
through that door wherever Ruby was the. camera was he remembers in the beginning. she would force him to Vlog and she. would say to the camera you guys are. always asking us can we hear your kids. play more can you please sing more. Christmas carols we'd love to see your. family play some Christmas music and. she's just smiling at the camera waiting. for Kevin to say something and she's. smiling but kind of like a teacher. that's telling you for the 10th time. that you should not stick that eraser up. your nose and and she finally angrily. turns to him I'm waiting for like to.
share a conversation with you I'm. listening to you. talk I'm I'm sorry I like to hear Ruby. talk I'm cutting all of this out help me. out here she keeps huffing and puffing. and finally he tries to say um I don't. know where you want me to come in okay. start over again uh I'll help here I'll. pick it up okay Ruby ready so one of the. Traditions that we do in this family. and she's just so intense not just about.
capturing all the moments but making. them absolutely perfect even if it's. fake nevertheless in the beginning it's. kind of cute and fun everybody's having. a good time all the kids are having a. good time they're making some YouTube. money they're buying a new van they're. getting a bigger house and they would be. on the highway in their billboard of a. car it's got the eight passengers bumper. sticker it's like a truck honestly it's. like a bus I mean you got to fit eight. of them people would drive up on the. side of the highway and start waving and.
freaking out cuz they're like I watch. you on YouTube one comment reads I think. this family is refreshing I enjoy it. when Ruby tells stories and I think. Kevin is really. attractive someone else comments Kevin. is an intelligent mature and masculine. vlogger I find him very attractive which. is exactly what I would write if I were. Kevin but I digress Kevin would say it's. all ruby. you know people loved Ruby's personality.
and it it attracted an audience quickly. which I mean I guess it's fine it's all. fun and games until. $85 hits the bank account something. flips a switch in that moment Kevin says. shortly after the first paycheck landed. on our account was like $85 it felt. amazing and that first paycheck flipped. me. 180° and I wanted more the eight. passengers LLC was born would Kevin said.
that yeah he said I got $85 and that I I. was ready to go all in I guess he. thought this was like some little hobby. his wife was doing and then he was like. $85 okay okay so like you can actually. make money it's not a scam so then he. made eight passengers LLC Sherry the. eldest daughter the author of the book. writes the kids were all employees that. is how we were referred to. employees from then on if they were ever. to go on a family trip to Vlog they. would want the kids to act like.
employees rather than oh we're just. going on a family trip because now we. can afford it and we're just going to. Vlog here and there so that people can. stay in the know Kevin says all of a. sudden it wasn't just enough to interact. with Ruby I had to interact with the. camera which maybe someone would feel. sympathy for him but he would also in. the same vein turn around and yell at. his kids Kevin would start scolding them. Well Chad is acting horrible today the. whole purpose that we're here is because. of our jobs and you guys are acting like.
this is. stupid basically saying Ready Set action. like get it together Kevin would later. say the kids started to complain about. everything like I'm bored we don't want. to film we're so tired of doing this it. really began to concern Ruby she would. describe it as they were losing their. light losing their light is a wild thing. to say Ruby is both not self-aware or. and dramatic Kevin which don't don't get.
me started on Kevin there's a lot of. thoughts about this man that we will get. to in part three but Kevin says Ruby. would constantly remind him Kevin the. camera is millions of people watching us. she really just wanted Kevin to be the. perfect husband that's how it's. described he says she wanted me to be. the even killed but strong patriarch of. the family but I wasn't I was a nerd. through and through. is which is kind of Simply a pck me.
thing to say but when asked did you. exploit the situation did you exploit. the kits Kevin responds in the new Hulu. documentary absolutely I did all of that. money all of that payment came from one. reason and one reason only my kids and. we started watching the paychecks go. from like $2,000 a month to $88,000 a. month to $20,000 a month and at our. peak1 Grand or more per month when. further questioned on whether or not he.
felt bad about it Kevin just responds. not at the time I was raised with the. idea of the cosmic vending machine it's. this idea that I can bargain with or do. business with God we believe that we. were sharing goodness Christianity with. the whole world and in return God was. blessing. us Sherry the author of the book and. she's been very outspoken against family. vloggers she says our entire schedule. Revol around YouTube and I think that's. where I started to have some issues we.
always had to keep the house clean we. changed our lights from this warm shade. to just like a bright fluorescent white. it felt more like a set than a. house all for. $85 and that's just the beginning this. is going to spiral into like millions. and millions of dollars and then they're. going to hit a million subscribers even. for that Ruby is sitting in her car. crying she's in the driver's seat the. car is parked she's tearfully telling. the camera it is so fitting to hit a. million while I'm like trying to squeeze.
in all these little things that I'm. going to do to serve my family like my. big thing has always been that mothers. are powerful and it's not just the big. things that the mothers do that make. them powerful power comes in the little. things so thank you but a lot of our. viewers started feeling like the more. Ruby grows the less we like her one. comment reads I like the way Ruby acted. towards the kids in her older Vlogs it. came across very honest and I felt like. I was watching a real mom and now she.
seems like she's afraid to show her. disciplining them and uses this weird. baby talk which side note there is the. baby talk is wild every little thing. that her kids would do she would go oh. my gosh oh my goodness oh my. gosh it just did not feel genuine not. that those words or phrases can't be. genuine it just didn't feel natural. somewhere even comparing Ruby with her. sister's writing I think Ruby really. tries to be like Bonnie her younger. sister her personality was never as.
bubbly before this hi guys oh my gosh I. can't wait seems really fake now to me. and I want to add that I do think that. Bonnie's true personality is bubbly but. not Ruby's seems forced that's a comment. others thought Ruby's clearly pretending. to be a great mom to make money as a. family vlogger you could just tell she. hates being a mom they comment Ruby. strikes me as the type of person who. craves intellectual stimulation with. Kevin traveling so much I think she gets. Restless I get the impression that she.
struggles with being a stay-at-home mom. much more than her sisters she strikes. me as someone who would have been very. career-driven if circumstances were. different Ian that's not to say that I. don't think that she loves being home. with the kids I'm just saying some would. just say I like the Vlogs I like the. family but it's kind of weird watching. it because the mom seems like she's just. one little Huff one little wind one. little blowing out the birth bir candle. wind push away from just having a.
full-blown mental breakdown she always. seems like she's about to lose her mind. like super tense. yeah Ruby Frankie has always been kind. of a doomsday prepper there's Vlogs of. her showing off her massive freeze dried. food stash are you guys ready to be a. food prepper with me no emergency. prepper are you guys ready to be an. emergency prepper with me wait what was. that she's like doing it for the Vlog oh. and then she posted that or no these are.
in the unedited clips that were handed. over to the Hulu. documentary I believe the family. consented to about 1,000 hours of. footage oh. wow okay yeah so Ruby Frankie she is. preparing for doomsday but nothing is. preparing her for the Doomsday that is. her entire Online Career just going up. in Flames people are pulling up old. Vlogs they're like no not only did she. take away her son's bed there's a vlog. clip of Ruby standing in line at.
Chick-fil-A and she says this is us. waiting in line to eat at. Chick-fil-A because we're supporting. marriage between man and woman and. here's the end of the line and she shows. a very long line we support Chick-fil-A. woohoo what one comment reads disgusting. she was saying that was fun it's fun. fighting against people's Liberties when. it doesn't affect you so this was during. a boycott the family hit a new and they. can't do anything to redeem themselves. in my eyes wow eating at Chick-fil-A.
because marriage should be between a man. and a woman go screw yourself Ruby other. comments read They're standing in line. to support marriage between a man and a. woman has that ever been threatened in. any way ever no they're standing in line. to hate pure and simple as that there's. another deleted clip that has been. deleted and launched into space to be. forgotten but Kevin had gone on this. business trip to Japan Ruby says in the. Vlog that he he lost so much weight in. Japan because all he was offered to eat.
were raw dogs and horse to which Kevin. even comes home and says that he's so. happy to be home because the food is not. raw anymore Japanese Cuisine has plenty. of cooked dishes if an adult is too. dense to seek those out when they're. hungry I think that's more of a. reflection of their survival skills or. lack thereof or just common sense but. one comment reads he has eaten that crap. food Ruby makes for so long that when. he's offered real proper food he does. not even realize it so at this point all. of these old Vlogs are getting dug up. people are just jumping on to all of.
look at this what I found look at this. time stamp and Kevin says enough he says. about the sudden hate which I don't even. know if I can call it hate if it's. genuine concern for Chad's well-being. and just outrage at the parents' actions. but Kevin claims the hate is pushed by. the algorithm he says quote all of a. sudden the algorithm began to recognize. oh this is a Hot Topic so everyone. scrambles Ruby takes the video down but. I think that she was unprepared for what. was the torrent of pure hatred that came.
through the door Ruby was devastated you. have to remember Ruby was America's mom. and then for her to be viewed as this. abusive monster it haunted her we saw it. as an innocent religious family that's. being attacked unjustly by cancel. culture and cancel culture is. winning so this is like you're saying. after 2020 like the whole Saga Begins oh. yeah that's what's happening right now. and then from 2020 it just starts.
spiraling like more Vlog footage she. makes new Vlogs that are controversial. old Vlog footage starts going viral and. she just becomes like a major topic of. commentary channels but it hasn't really. entered into oh I mean at this point. there were calls to CPS but it hadn't. entered into this huge territory of wait. this feels like a genuine investigation. that the authorities need to do yeah at. least not yet so by this point Kevin. said say Ruby was effectively America's. mom she would confide to me that she was.
meant to be some sort of instrument in. the hand of God she was meant for. something bigger than. herself I mean I don't know the comments. are still rolling in and nobody is fond. of America's mom people start. speculating on even Ruby's marriage with. Kevin does anybody else get the. impression lately that Kevin has kind of. checked out I always get the feeling. that he would rather be at work he seems. like he loves his kids but is just going. through the motions of his marriage. another comment reads when Ruby was. making quesadillas in a vlog Kevin was.
eating tortilla chips and she was trying. to express a romanticized favorite. situation of hers him being there. watching her cook a meal for the family. I don't know he's just so cold and. unresponsible not in like an. intentionally mean way it was just kind. of funny and sad mostly sad another. spectator says as much as I find Kevin. to be smart and sexy I am repulsed by. cheaters and if there is one YouTube. couple where I suspect someone is. cheating it's Kevin he appears to love. his kids but he just seems so checked.
out of his. marriage Kevin does tell Insider that. after this whole bed Saga the Vlog of. Chad sharing that he doesn't have a bed. that all of this was quote a moment of. vulnerability and a part of Chad's story. of redemption that showed his victory. over the challenges that he's faced over. the last several years he's saying this. was supposed to be an uplifting moment. that the internet Twisted as. abuse which is like a crazy way to try. and romanticize it there's a very.
controversial book called visions of. Glory there's a lot of religious. Fanatics and extremists who believe in. it to put it simply it is a book talking. about how the world is going to end and. we all need to be ready doomsday is a. coming according to the book this is how. we're going to know biological warfare. will start a devastating plague disease. it's going to be secretly engineered as. a bioweapon and it's going to come in. and just kill billions of people on a. global scale the US drinking water is.
going to be almost fully contaminated. making it absolutely utterly undrinkable. unless you want to grow a fifth arm but. of course the government is never going. to tell you that they're never going to. warn you of that this is what's going to. happen and then in 2020 everybody who is. a fan of this book starts flipping out. this book has a lot of people just. hiding in their bunker going full on. food preparations mode the book states. that there's going to be a plague they. think Co the book also states that there. will be massive economic collapse before. doomsday banks will shut down factories.
will close and Global businesses will. seize to operate which a lot of. countries and businesses did abide by. lockdown rules and laws in 2020 so now a. lot of people who read this book are. thinking we're we're we're getting on. two for two right the third thing is the. book states that there will be a massive. earthquake that's going to destroy much. of the West Coast in the US now side. note this book is quite controversial. amongst those of the LDS Faith with most.
being upset that the book has not been. condemned by the church yet if you're. part of the LDS Faith you're probably. going to come across this book and. because it's not condemned by the church. you might read it thinking it's. supported by the church and these are. messages of the LDS Faith but it's. extremely it's just very. extreme and uh a lot of other cult. leaders and convicted Killers have read. this book allegedly and really loved it. like Chad debel and Lorie valow a small.
select group of people believe every. single word in this book as if this is a. future telling machine on a piece of. paper so with that being said the book. states that a massive earthquake will. destroy the West Coast in 2020 Salt Lake. City the headquarters of the LDS church. if you will had a 5.7 magnitude. earthquake now there's Co Kevin Ruby's. husband says it's 2020 everyone's dying. from Co there's an earthquake in Salt.
Lake City and the protest it just felt. like the world was. ending he says he actually got excited. because it felt like the second coming. Kevin says everybody else was going to. burn but we felt like we were on the. right side of. it which I mean I I guess if you do some. mental gymnastics right but other. doomsday extremists say there's actually. a missing element that's not in this. book an electromagnetic pulse is going. to wipe out all of electricity there's. going to be a huge massive shutdown of.
technology and it's going to happen. gradually which maybe to Ruby that's. what this feels like a full-blown attack. on the internet her entire life is. collapsing in like a few months neens. are still going through back catalogs of. Vlogs downloading watching and. timestamping every single strange thing. that she's done making a list to call. CPS about Ruby claims that there were. like a th calls made to CPS because of. her if you go to school and you say.
teacher my dog ate my homework nobody's. going to believe you but this is. probably worse my mom threw my homework. away and told me that I would have to. pay cash to get my homework back but I. couldn't pay her cash to get my homework. back because I don't have money in one. Vlog Ruby and Kevin are sitting at the. dinner table with all six kids Ruby. pulls out a big trash bag and it looks. like it's filled with binders and. journals Chad tries to grab for it. saying that's my homework Ruby waits for. every single kid to be quiet and states.
you have something in the bag that you. would like out you can pay cash for it. so you learn the value of your. items. or um you can give what Dad I'll let you. take the conversation from here she. points the camera at Kevin Kevin thinks. about it you can do an equivalent value. chore. to get it back what it and whatever.
isn't claimed by the end of the day goes. in the garbage Ruby decides her kids. need to pay her to do their homework so. that they can learn the value of their. items it's also worth noting that that's. just crazy neens are commenting imagine. showing this to your teacher another. nzen points out something that's even. more frustrating which is quote you know. Ruby actually used to make her kids pay. her if they got bad grades so this is. especially Insidious so they have to pay.
her to do the homework but if they don't. do the homework they're going to get bad. grades so they have to pay her anyway. and on top of that she makes money by. vlogging the entire thing another nzen. writes I wouldn't just tell my teacher. what happened if this video is posted. I'm showing them day in my life videos. are like a YouTube starter pack which. Ruby does share her family schedule and. it's it's rigorous Sherry the eldest. daughter wakes up at 5:30 in the morning. to practice the piano at 6:00 a.m. the. rest of the kids get up and they do. scripture time immediately after they. all have to practice their own musical.
instruments the violin the flute the. harp everybody practice and then it's. chores and then you get ready for school. to which one comment reads I'm all for. kids having chores and responsibilities. but that morning routine is ridiculous. there is no need for a 7-year-old to be. out of bed at 6:00 a.m. read scripture. practice the fute sort and fold put away. the laundry of a family of eight people. have breakfast get ready for school make. lunch make her bed do 20 minutes of. reading and then go to school all day.
even typing that out I'm so exhausted. and what does Ruby even do all day all. her chours are done before 8:00 a.m. by. her own children all she has to do is. cook. dinner behind every successful sale. there is an invisible engine the. seamless technology that turns browsing. into buying and like engines can be very. complicated like when my family and I. were selling Grandpa Mango's limited. edition art we realized it's really not.

[Music]. roten in one Vlog clip Ruby's little. daughter I would guess toate she's maybe. around around 4 at this point she's. hopping down the stairs so these are all.
the Vlog clips that are coming out now. she's hopping down the stairs happily. but Ruby is shoving the Vlog camera in. her face aggressively telling her we are. going to the movie so go get on your. shoes naturally the first question. someone has is what movie yeah what. movie right but this is even stranger. because the aggressive manner in which. Ruby is talking about the movie the. message and the tone don't make sense I. would naturally feel like this is a. setup I feel like you're punishing like. why are you yelling at me if we're going.
to the movies so the little girl asks. innocently what is it what is it and. Ruby's voice is so AG does it even. matter if someone asked me if I wanted. to go to a movie I wouldn't ask what is. it run and get your shoes or you're. going to not go this is a vlog that she. posted this is not from the unedited. footage from the Hulu documentary Ruby's. thin lips are set in an even thinner. line and she just vlogs LS herself. calling the babysitter in front of her. kid to see if she can come and watch the.
little girl because the punishment for. asking which movie they're seeing is to. just not be able to go watch the movie. at all W I know this sounds a little bit. dramatic but the way that Ruby is doing. this to her own child who is very young. I think it feels emotionally terrorizing. and the whole time Ruby is on the phone. with the babysitter her daughter is just. clinging to her leg apologizing and her. voice is so small she's like sorry. sorry Ruby gets off the phone sets up. the camera so that she can sit in front. of it and she's very disappointed.
because the babysitter is not available. she says Kevin I'm not taking her unless. she comes and gives me a huge apology. you come give me a hug and you come say. you're sorry no again where I can pay. attention it was not very thankful of. you I was excited and I told you to go. get on your shoes and your jacket to see. a movie and you should say. okay and be grateful instead of well. what movie well I don't know let me.
think about it that's not very grateful. and I'm not going to take a girl who's. not grateful can you show some more. gratitude okay give me a big hug to. which the comments are just ripping into. Ruby rightfully so a huge apology for. what if somebody asked me if I wanted to. go to the movie I would ask what it is. that would be the very first question I. ask to which another person writes I. think Ruby is obsessed with the feeling. of empowerment and control that it gives. her in the ability to manipulate her.
children's emotions based off of her own. reactions it's clear she's terrorizing. her kids I think it's a very natural and. part of the development process for kids. to just be so messy I think they. naturally make messes but when the. youngest daughter ends up experimenting. with nail polish and evidently spilling. some nail polish on the bath mat it's. not even a big deal there's not even. that much nail polish and it's on the. bath mat Ruby feels confused because the. little girl decides she needs to hide. for 30 minutes because she's that scared.
of her mom Ruby is confused by that. action to hiding she's like where is she. where is she is she seriously. hiding which I would just think that's. alarming like how does that not register. in your mind hey why are my kids hiding. from me instead Ruby Vlogs it she's been. missing for 30 minutes been missing I. found. her for 30 minutes they finally find her. under the bed where Ruby quote I guess. if you want to call it playfully but not.
really playfully pulls her by the leg. and drags her out I mean it doesn't look. physically painful it's just visually a. lot she says you're going to have to. write I'm dead now because you're in so. much. trouble Ruby says the little girl is. going to go straight to bed she will not. be joining the family who are all going. to go outside for cookies I just don't. understand that kind of parenting. response I think the appropriate. response would be hey if you want to. paint your nails next time why don't you. ask for help it's she's just trying to.
paint her nails it's not like she was. trying to smear it on the walls which. even then it's like why were you trying. to do that let's talk about it the worst. part is Ruby is vlogging herself. cleaning the floors and she says all of. the discipline takes place off camera. but one of the consequences is she will. not be getting her nails painted for a. solid month and that's like her favorite. thing which is to have me do her nails. which I do think that some sometimes. Kids Teach themselves their own life. lessons like in this case the little.
girl is asked to apologize on the Vlog. again to Ruby and the way that she. processes her emotions despite Ruby's. ass parenting is quite mature for her. age but I I just don't understand why. she still needs punishment it's very. depressing she's just explaining how she. was very excited and then she hid. because she got very scared cuz she made. a mistake and she felt really bad in. another clip the kids are told to stay. home from school to keep the house clean. so she's just vlogging them just wiping. down every baseboard every window I.
think if I were to hire a team of. full-time professional cleaners I don't. think that they would be that thorough. it's just very bizarre it's like she has. six kids to have a full Army of cleaning. staff but the second that they do. anything that a kid normally does such. as leaving a pair of socks around they. are so they're scolded so firmly on. camera likely stricter punishment. happening off camera sometimes they. would even be forced to do push-ups. because they left their sock outside you.
get your socks picked up and don't you. leave your stuff out anymore run and go. pick them up and then give me 10. push-ups one two down further so while. Ruby is overly strict she's not. particularly attentive to her kids she's. vlogging in the kitchen when Chad he's. younger at this point he's like 10 11 in. this clip Ruby's talking about his. football game which Chad loves football. he's very good at football he wants to. earn a scholarship one day this is how. he wants to make a name for himself this. is very important to him Ruby says dad's.
taking you to your game right okay well. I don't think I'm going to go are you. okay with that Chad looks really sad and. he just shrugs it's fine you never come. don't say that our viewers are going to. think that I never come to your games. well that's true I go to your. games yeah one and last season you only. came to like two games you're ratting me. out you're making me look bad Chad looks.
genuinely sad he has his arms crossed on. the kitchen island table and he's just. staring off into space he looks like. he's trying not to cry but Ruby still. has the camera pointed in that direction. he's in the frame of the Vlog and she. just starts goofing around with her. younger son next to Chad not addressing. how he feels completely bulldozing his. feelings but also do you have a job like. why can't you go to his game is that not. your job I don't understand it's not. like she's like I have this important. meeting and I need to go to put food on. the table I love you I'm sorry comments.
read I felt so bad for Chad Ruby didn't. even seem to feel bad about missing his. games what else does she do that's so. important that makes her miss something. that is obviously important to her son. other netizens feel bad for Chad in. other ways they comment I mean her kids. must think she's a lunatic she's always. making them wait in the back of the car. for like 30 minutes as she goes on these. little monologues by herself to the. camera they're just like in the back. waiting.
patiently and another valid point is. Ruby always says that she's too busy all. the time to support her kids but she. forces Sherry and Chad the two eldest to. take care of the rest of the four kids. while they're still children side note. Ruby will even Vlog the fact that her. two youngest haven't even showered in. like a week just truly showcasing her. great parenting skills and people are. digging all of these up others have. noticed in the timelines throughout the. Vlogs let's say she takes kid a to the.
dentist and in this Vlog let's say it's. November of 2023 the dentist is like. your kid has so many cavities like we. got to really watch out for the cavities. tone it down on the sugar make sure. you're flossing make sure you're. brushing your teeth like this isn't good. the next time they come to the dentist. now she's got nine. cavities like even more even more mhm. and again I get it like kids will eat. their snacks they'll probably hide. chocolates in their room and then you. don't find them until it's melted into.
the mattress but still it's up to you as. a parent to make sure that they're doing. these things so that they don't get more. cavities mhm it feels like she doesn't. care to support or help her children. it's one thing if you keep trying and. trying and trying and your child goes. out of their way to keep getting. cavities somehow but that's not the case. it just feels like Ruby constantly gets. upset that nobody is up to her standard. punishes them but then gives her. children zero support or resources to. get better so that they can meet her. standard so for example one of the.
younger daughters was failing math it's. like a it's been mentioned multiple. times in the Vlogs Ruby clearly knows. that this daughter is failing math just. like the cavities she has no intention. of helping or supporting her kids she. doesn't mention I'm going to help you. with your math homework she doesn't. mention I'm going to get you a math. tutor just nothing she just keeps. bringing it up and like haha she's. failing math on that daughter's birthday. she gets gifted The Maze Runner book. series she's so excited to read it she's.
been asking for this set for I don't. know how long Okay She's been begging. for these books and Ruby is letting her. soak in the excitement of this she's. vlogging every second of it and then she. turns the camera to herself and she's. got this like twisted smile on her face. I hate to do this to you on your. birthday but your math teacher has been. telling us that you've been missing work. and that you read all the time time and. you have an F in math side note Kevin.
the dad who's also a professor at a. local College he's like in the back of. the Vlog and he seems shocked that his. daughter is failing at math like how do. you not know what's going on in your. kids lives really yeah he's like what. what does he teach oh geographical like. soil or something what okay yeah now. Ruby continues you can't just read till. you catch up with your math it's like. she waited to give her the present watch. her get so excited until she's like I.
want to go upstairs and read this right. now and then she's like haha jokes on. you cuz you're failing math you can't. read it until you get your math grades. up oh she took it away. yeah that's crazy okay I it's so bizarre. and I'm not here to judge anybody's. parenting because I don't have children. so I don't know what it's like to guide. someone through Academia but would. imagine it it would be better to be like. hey maybe don't open it until we work on.
your math homework together but like why. go through this whole torturous. process in another Vlog allegedly I did. not see this clip for myself but one of. Ruby's children cuz this has been like. deleted Into The Ether one of Ruby's. children has come up to Ruby to explain. that she thought that there was a hole. in the changing room that she went on to. try on. clothes yeah I found this like this. comment in the depths of a snark Forum. from like.
2016 but she said there's a hole in the. changing room but not only that she just. felt like something popped out and. touched her maybe it was a bug maybe it. was a rat maybe it was nothing but she. was clearly freaked out Ruby completely. ignores her so that she can keep on. vlogging just nothing doesn't care she's. overly strict she has weird punishments. she's not attentive and also she. borderlines dystopian in another Vlog. moment Ruby tells Chad that there's no. texting at the dinner table no texting.
at the dinner table they force him to. hand over his phone which happens to be. a flip phone they gave him a flip phone. so Kevin the father starts reading out. Chad's text messages to the girl out. loud not just for his family which is. already embarrassing enough but for the. entire. Vlog what is this I really like you. I hold on I do not say that and this is. I'm assuming all of his friends are.
watching these Vlogs yeah that's. freaking sick and again this would be. all fun in games between friends that. are of age and it's like okay you know. people do funny things on the internet. he he haha it's a great Tik Tok as long. as everybody thinks it's fun but the. parent and Son Dynamic yeah and he the. son wasn't consenting to this no he was. he was embarrassed yeah it's like. grabbing your freaking journal and just. start reading your diary like that's. crazy it's very dystopian that they're. mad at their son for texting at the.
dinner table whilst they the parents are. vlogging humiliating yeah vlogging and. humiliating but it gets worse because. Chad has a flip phone which I think. hypocritical parents are the worst Ruby. is putting Chad's entire life on the. internet from the moment that he wakes. up to the moment that he goes to sleep. like 5 days a week all of his personal. information his daily schedule and even. his thoughts his text messages are up. online technology and the internet are. so integrated into Ruby and. consequentially Chad's life yet he gets.
a flip phone Ruby even jokes in the Vlog. only downside to giving your kids a flip. phone is I swear I have to remember how. to work it every time I go through it. notably it's also very strange that the. kidss social media accounts are heavily. monitored or they're not allowed to have. one meanwhile Ruby posts every single. part of their business on social media. she would even Force Chad to smile for a. thumbnail which he clearly did not want. to be a part of and he tells her to her. face.
smile Chad look at. me he smiling at. Linds okay let's go back Ruby does not. care as long as she gets her shot in. another video Ruby is sitting right next. to Chad she's reading from her phone oh. this next one's really good I think this. was a partnership she's doing I think. it's like connecting parents with teens. she says the next one is really good it. says do you think your teens's mental.
health is more important than school and. grades she turns to Chad and Chad looks. like he would rather be on the surface. of Mars he looks very disinterested. maybe also guarded because he probably. knows whatever she's going to say next. is going to be really hurtful he just. shrugs and then she blows up Chad are. you willing to help me out or not you. seem really distant Ruby perhaps a. moment of self-reflection and just. asking yourself the simple question. question of why am I treating my kids. terribly and maybe you wouldn't have to. waste so much breath wondering and.
asking why do my kids seem distant why. won't they Vlog with me fif f f like I. don't understand get it together Chad. would later say I purposely said the. wrong lines I purposely Tred to make my. mom as pissed as she possibly could be I. made things hard for her I don't really. know why one of the more egregious clips. though is from when Chad's friend's. father so Chad's friend's father. tragically self- exits and I'm sure the. news shocked the entire community and.
Chad is just not doing well instead of. Ruby spending time with Chad to make. sure that he feels like he has support. to guide him through this very difficult. time of grief with all of these. complicated emotions Ruby just keeps. vlogging every single person in the. house as they're just bursting into. tears she's filming herself crying. talking to her children about it she. never Comforts Chad she would even Vlog. him laying just despondent on the bed.
and she says and I don't know why what. compelled her to even say this she says. in situations like this if you haven't. been kind you can feel a lot of. regret I don't know what she's. insinuating if you haven't been kind you. can feel a lot of regret so is that. implying that she hasn't if she hasn't. been kind to the deceased she would have. feel guilty. it sounds like she's saying that to Chad. and I just don't yeah and I don't.
picture Chad being rude to his friend's. dad I think it's probably the very. natural feeling of I wonder if I could. have done something or said something or. I maybe I could have noticed something. right but it it was just. bizarre humiliation also becomes a big. part of the Vlogs Ruby is holding the. camera she's standing in the bathroom. and she says. has been asking all summer if she can. shave her legs and armpits her daughter.
looks at her like she just betrayed her. on camera I never said that I don't want. to shave you don't no side note it has. been discussed on the Vlogs before that. this specific daughter has been getting. bullied in school and I don't know maybe. I'm reaching maybe I'm connecting dots. that don't exist because I have a thing. where I compulsively shaved my arms for. years because I got made fun of for. having hair on my arms when I was I was. younger and I wonder if in the. hypothetical world if she had been. bullied for her body hair her mother.
announcing it to the world that she has. been asking and begging to shave it. would only encourage the bullies because. a big part of me getting bullied about. my arm hair would be to act like it. didn't bother me MH cuz then it's like. now they know that you're insecure about. it so she's like no I don't want to and. even if that's not the case and I'm just. crazy and I'm reaching why put this on. the internet for all of your kids. friends to see especially as a young. teenager like that's a very complicated. time but Ruby being her kid's very first.
bully she says you don't I think your. armpits need to be shaved more than your. legs do let me see and she just reaches. into her daughter's shirt to I guess see. her armpit hair to touch it I don't know. what we expect at this point Ruby. announces to her Vlogs every time her. kids pee the bed she proudly says the. way she handles it is a that's okay just. sleep on the floor in the bathroom she's. like Mom I peed the bed just go sleep on.
the floor in the bath there's also a lot. of other humiliating titles in the eight. passengers archive Sherry even says that. when you Google someone's name like the. next word that comes after it is. typically like the most Googled and. she's saying this in a vlog she says. next to her name is always Sherry. Frankie period because Ruby had vlogged. her getting her first period and it just. seemed like she was. uncomfortable other titles include at. school wet my pants bra shopping with.
the brothers first time shaving it's. like the kids are sick and throwing up. Canon or Sony the kids are buying their. first training boss should we use Canon. or Sony but one thing Ruby States. repeatedly is that she will never. discipline her kids on camera that is. reserved for off camera which is bizarre. because everything you put on camera one. bamboozled nzen writes so she's going to. film her daughter buying a training bra. but discipline is private do you. remember that Trend that was going.
around where you get your dog's favorite. stuffed animal or like your child's. favorite stuffed animal and you just. beat it I don't know why parents were. filming themselves being their child's. personal emotional terrorist but it was. like a trend briefly I don't know if it. was a big Trend or if the trend was. people reacting to the very select few. weird people that did it where you grab. your child's favorite doll and just like. punch it yes it's like want to see the. kid reaction yeah it's like if we were. to grab my niece's rabbit and then just. started punching the rabbit in front of.
her and then vlogging her reaction it's. like unhinged I don't know why people. were doing. this this is the next level of that. Ruby's youngest daughter is going. through her scissor phase my nieces are. currently going through their scissor. phase they're told at school you got to. learn how to use safety scissors to cut. shapes with scissors you could be in the. same room doing arts and crafts with. them you drop your piece of paper you. bend pick it down they've cut off half. your hair it's just a thing they're. safety scissors they don't get harmed. it's not dangerous I mean don't leave. them with it unsupervised but again.
scissor face very real very normal. Ruby's youngest daughter has taken. scissors and cut a few things in the. house that she probably wasn't supposed. to cut ruby decides instead of being. like wow why did I leave those scissors. out that could have been dangerous good. thing she cut that rather than harming. herself accidentally even though they're. safety scissors Ruby decides no the best. course of action to take here is to grab. the camera in one hand and shove it in. this little girl's face take her beloved.
stuffed cat on the other hand hold it by. the neck and threaten her own daughter. one more thing in my house I'm going to. take the scissors look at me and I'm. going to cut its head off Grandma will. be so. mad so what are you going to do real not. real cat right no her stuffed an but. like trauma when they're this young yeah. that's like a real person in there their. imagine their stuffed animals are like a.
good source of comfort I mean yeah. that's like their best friend the girl. looks genuinely stressed out she looks. like she's watching a hostage video. because she is she's 4 years old this is. her best friend and her sweet loving. caring familyfriendly mother just. threatened to decapitate it in another. since taken down Vlog from 2016 there's. a clip where they're all packing to go. somewhere Ruby asks one of her Young. daughter's what she packed in her bag. and the young daughter starts crying and. getting nervous because she's scared. that Ruby's not going to let her take.
her Comfort stuffy neens are commenting. growing up with a narcissistic dad I. used to cry every time I was nervous. around him even if it was for nothing I. can feel the little girl's anxiety it. makes me wonder if Ruby has an explosive. temper behind closed doors or something. to make matters worse neon point out. that Ruby looks surprised and Confused. that this is her daughter's favorite. stuffy which is so strange it leaves. neens to question does she not know her. kids does she not tuck them in at night. that doesn't even make sense in another.
clip one of the kids finally confesses. that she spilled something in her. backpack and therefore she ruined her. backpack it's. unsalvageable which the fact that you. have to confess something like that to. your parents is odd the way that she's. holding her backpack while Ruby is. vlogging her she looks terrified her. face is blurred for her privacy but she. keeps blinking and scrunching her nose. and those seem like very intense anxious. coping mechanisms for high anxiety while.
her daughter is clearly in distress Ruby. says the camera's rolling so I can't get. that. mad it helps keep me under control the. child starts crying and Ruby has this. weird fake sympathetic voice oh honey. don't cry oh honey I'm not mad at you I. feel bad for you to which the comments. Now read imagine a backpack pack feeling. like it's the end of the world this is. so sad it's not even a big deal a simple. accident and she's terrified of her own.
mother another one reads her nervous. ticks are. heartbreaking one of the most damning. clips of Ruby though is of her in the. car vlogging she's wearing a bright. yellow beanie this is this is probably. worse than the Chad bed Saga or it's. like right up there so all these other. ones are coming out and I think that. people are making videos on them but. unless you're really in the Frankie. world I don't know if they would have. hit as many people of like did you see. what's going on cuz this is alarming M.
Ruby is wearing a bright yellow beanie. she holds up her phone I just got a text. message from youngest daughter's teacher. and she said that she did not pack a. lunch today and can I bring over a lunch. to the school this happens quite often. when you're having raising children. because I know that her teacher is. uncomfortable with her being hungry and. not having a lunch and it would EAS her. discomfort if I came to the school with. the lunch but I responded and I just. said was responsible for making her.
lunches in the morning and she actually. told me she did pack of lunch so the. natural outcome is she's just going to. need to be. hungry and hopefully hopefully nobody. gives her food and nobody steps in and. gives her a lunch My Hope Is that she. will be hungry and come home and go oh. man that was really painful being hungry. all day I will always make sure to have. a lunch with me the child in question. that she's talking about is 5 years old.
I don't even know a single 5-year-old. that packs their own lunch I was in high. school and my mom was helping me pack. lunches the clip was a huge point of. contention along with the Chad being. bedless I mean there's something about. these moms not giving their kids food. proper nutrition and beds like it's a. prerequisite before you get put in jail. Ash trino needs to get advised to get. her kids a bed regardless I have never. ever heard of a kid being responsible. for packing their lunch at that age and.
like how vicious do you have to be to. stay out loud that you hope your child. starves and nobody helps them Kevin and. Ruby tried to justify what happened. saying the internet took them out of. context once again saying that the real. reason that Ruby did not bring her. daughter a lunch to the school is. because the drive was would take 45. minutes by the time that Ruby would be. there to drop off the food the school. day would be over nobody said that in. the clip the comments read and this is. what she's voluntarily sharing on the. internet imagine what she's doing behind. closed doors in another Vlog clip that.
has been resurrected from the depths of. the YouTube graveyards Ruby is on the. phone with her second youngest again. probably 8 years old at the time if not. younger she tells him unless you find a. friend who's willing to share some of. their food with you I don't I don't. think you're going to be able to eat but. if you're not responsible for your lunch. and your lunch money that's the natural. consequence and I'm really sorry you're. learning this the hard way I will have a. wonderful yummy snack waiting for you. when you get home just hang in there. today and just make up your mind and.
you're going to be really careful to. grab your stuff when you go to school. next time and maybe you have a good. friend who will share half their. sandwich with you that's all I'm sorry. she hangs up and she tells the viewers. while smiling he sounds like he was. going to cry or. something in another seemingly Innocent. but not at all innocent Vlog Ruby is in. in the kitchen with her kids and she. says Sundays after church when we all. just clean through the leftovers it's. like the highlight of my week I love it.
so much one of the kids comes up to say. it is Mom doesn't get mad at us for. eating anything it's like the highlight. of my week I love it so much it mom. doesn't get mad at us for eating. anything she responds that and the kids. just open up like everyone's pretty. relaxed probably because they're not. starving it's been a point of contention. throughout the Frankie Vlogs that the. kids never have enough food when she. Vlogs the dinner table it's never enough.
food when she Vlogs her grocery hauls. It's never enough food one comment reads. everyone's relaxed because maybe they're. not fighting for survival in their own. home every single meal that Ruby shows. online is neither nutritious nor filling. and it does not appear that the kids. have free access to food the Frankies. even before all of this the whole. Scandal they they had multiple instances. where their own viewers were just up in. arms about the fact that they kind of. starve their kids Ruby would Vlog what's.
for dinner or she would do the grocery. halls and there's no produce no fruit no. meat anything of nutritional value in. the Halls is just absent most of it is. carb filled junk yet Ruby is very. unhappy she complains the entire time at. how expensive each trip to the grocery. store has been which most people agree. groceries are expensive but she's. choosing these carb heavy easily. prepared meals that are probably selling. at a premium at this point a lot of nens. are saying honestly produce might be.
cheaper so why are you not getting it. mhm one comment reads I am a bit stunned. in Ruby's video about their food supply. she doesn't seem to feed the kids any. vegetables maybe tomatoes in the. spaghetti sauce but she seems to feed. the kids carbs all day every day I was a. bit surprised that vegetables were not. seemingly a priority for the. kids another nuton agrees she feeds the. kids crap all carbs stuffed to fill the. belly but not provide much nutrition. very light on the meat and almost no.
fruits and veg or another comment reads. H stop moaning about buying food for. your family when you're basically making. money off the backs of your kids her. grocery hauls are pretty terrible no. vegetables maybe a small bowl of fruit. little meat and a whole heap of snacks. she definitely car blows her meals with. very little nutrition all I see are. tacos like frozen tacos bread rolls. cookies everything is beige and cheap. even Ruby admits herself that she does. not eat enough she says it's really.
painful to up my food budget but I think. it's necessary because I have to eat. more I'm going to eat more I want to eat. more I don't really like being. hungry it's just very strange that Ruby. has such an unrelenting grip on wanting. to control the food the budget she wants. to be perceived as the perfect mom but. she cannot hide the fact that she's not. there's this Korean song called um like. almost my said she doesn't like black. bean. noodles it's when your mom doesn't have.
money so you eat the black bean noodles. your mom tells you she doesn't like. black bean noodles and later the singer. goes and she's digging it out of the. trash to eat it with rice the leftovers. but for Ruby the mere thought of upping. the grocery budget to feed her kids. would send her into cardiac arrest and. this is clearly not a case of she can't. afford it one comment reads her nacho. night was just sad literally just two. trays of chips cheese and leftover. pulled pork maybe it would have been.
good as a snack but how about some. freaking fruits or vegetables or. something substantial and I saw one of. Ruby's kids cramming a whole burrito. thing into her mouth like she's. desperate for food Ruby is always saying. cooking is her passion and she loves. making recipe videos but it sure doesn't. show there's like a whole compilation on. Tik Tok filled with the kids faces so. for this video I'll likely blur most of. it but you can hear Ruby's voice and. it's just her her threatening them with. food I'm only going to say it one more. time and then you're going to lose the. privilege to eat dinner in a separate.
clip she says and my kids are literally. starving I hesitate to even say this. because I'm going to sound like a mean. Barbarian but I told the kids I said I'm. not even going to let you eat breakfast. until you get your chores done here is a. very non-comprehensive list of all the. times that she's threatened her kids. with starvation stop crying or I'm going. to have you go upstairs and you won't. have any breakfast in another clip she. says I'll buy an expensive cereal and. say this needs to last us a whole week. and it's gone in an hour the boundary is. I don't buy cereal anymore and you get.
oatmeal until I believe the children. will be boundaried with the cereal the. self-confidence of someone with such. little common sense is terrifying if. your kids can eat what you think should. last a week in an hour then your portion. size math is not adding up there's a. clip of Sherry the eldest daughter and. the New York Times bestseller she says. our lunch is a little bit different than. yesterday because Mondays and Fridays. are 19900 calorie days and then Tuesdays. and Thursdays are 1,700 calorie days and.
then Saturday and Sunday and Wednesday. dayss are 1,500 calorie days and today. is. 1,700 which the fact that Ruby has put. out these arbitrary rotating calorie. days which by the way none of these even. provide enough calories for most active. growing teenagers it's just very sick. many netizens are left wondering at this. point how is it even possible that she. posted all these vlogs. mhm one writes I find it difficult to. Fathom the dinner Ruby gets away with. serving recently one of her kids.
complained about having chicken noodle. soup for dinner again and it seems like. they had it the night before I took a. good look at the table and it was like a. modest little bowl of soup was all that. was served there weren't any dishes to. indicate bread or Salad to be served. along with the soup Ruby just encouraged. everyone to eat so they won't have soup. again for the next dinner the whole. video blew my. mind another comment reads my question. is how are none of the teachers. reporting this or another reads so abuse. is being broadcasted on YouTube in broad.
daylight using food as a form of. punishment literally pisses me off to no. end the irony in all of this is that. Ruby prepares for the end of the world. with freeze-dried food she's obsessed. with food prepping I'm pretty impartial. to Doomsday prepping what do I know. about when the world is going to end. emergency stock highly recommend. probably advisable an entire food. storage room with freeze dried foods 100. lb of rice and orange juice mixed powder. it's kind of excessive like even if an.
emergency did come up and you had to use. the food that you freeze dried you. already have enough so why are you. continuing we may not need any of this. food ever or if we do end up using it. what if it's 30 years down the road all. this food stays good for at least 30. years she has all of that yeah and her. kids are starving and because I'm just. on a rant here there's another Vlog clip. of Ruby telling her viewers that her. youngest daughter is manipulating her. into letting her stay home by saying. that she's sick when she's not she makes. her out to be this little vindictive.
girl with big evil plans of like a scop. takeover she's a kid she's a child it is. only when Ruby takes her temperature and. realizes that she has a fever of 101. that she admits okay fine she's not. manipulating me she says to the Vlogs. and I could hear her whimpering and. crying and then at 400 in the morning. she came in and got in bed with me and. she was just whimpering don't you hate. it when your kid is sick and they don't. have a fever until the whining starts I. just thought the whining was because she. was manipulating me not true I guess.
she's not feeling well I gave Julie a. tongue lashing that will not ever be. repeated nor. recorded just use your imagination it. was bad you have to throw up twice. before I come get you isn't it like five. if it's just like a little um if you. throw up you throw up if you throw up. twice you call me all of this had. somewhat been circulating online but. again it's not until the bed Saga that. all of these get dug up from the YouTube.
Graves and they start recirculating and. speaking of the bed situation a lot of. netizens have problem with Ruby's bed. buying Tendencies or lack thereof very. similar to Ash trino she would just not. get her kids the Necessities when she. can clearly afford to there would be. moments in the Vlogs where she expected. her kids to be grateful she would demand. some sort of big response in a exchange. for purchasing them socks not like new. fancy socks that all the kids are. wearing that they really don't need but.
like their current socks all have holes. in them other netizens back in 2016 even. felt it was odd that in the videos the. kids would be gifted on their birthdays. things like bedding sheets that they. desperately need not like ooh this is. the new anthropology sheet that I. need they don't have sheets birthday. present sheets. some people were commenting I noticed. everyone seemed to be overly excited. about getting pillows which I found was.
odd another comment reads I think. parents are supposed to provide you with. a bed sheets pillows Etc independent of. your birthday same goes for socks. question. mark another comment reads the birthday. presents were the last straw for me. passing off a bed that one of her kids. needed as a birthday gift is disgusting. you provide your children with a bed and. bedding period that's not a. gift the kids were also never seen. having enough clothes they would have. about five total outfits each and the.
problem is that Ruby was obsessed with. very distinct articles of clothing so. it's not like she would get a simple. white shirt for her kids that you could. wear maybe three times a week and. everybody at school thinks oh maybe you. have five white shirts mhm they're like. very distinct and they would be wearing. the same outfit three four times a week. which is. just a lot of kids get bullied for stuff. like that mhm one comment reads Ruby is.
constantly having to wash clothes seeing. as all their kids only have about four. full outfits and because she's. continuously washing them they start. looking like just threads on the kids. bodies someone agrees writing Ruby. complains so much about the kids wearing. down their clothes and in the same. breath she mentions how they only need a. few. outfits what's going on and when the. kids would get sick Ruby the maternal. Instinct just coursing through her veins. decides to quarantine the sick kid so. one of the sons was sick I would say he.
looks like 5 years old she doesn't want. the other kids to get sick which I get. it fine right she grabs a whole duvet. set pillows a blanket and she puts him. in the bathroom on the floor not okay. you know there's a regular bathroom. where you have the sink and then you. have the shower then you open a small. little closet door and then you just. have the toilet that's it just the. toilet mhm she put him right next to the. toilet in that tiny little closet room. the water closet okay and he's sick his.
whole face is red why no because just. quinting the K in the toilet Yes W okay. I think like two-ish years ago I went. through a very rough round of hand foot. mouth disease which was passed on by my. little niece every single nail and. toenail fell off I'm not even kidding. it's a household joke now but even now. when our two nieces are sick everyone's. just trying to make them feel better. they're like bringing them the favorite. soups they sleep with my sister when. they're sick because they're not feeling. well and they usually want to cuddle my.
sister Ruby makes them sleep in a toilet. room but it's also the way that she's. mentally raising them one comment reads. those poor little girls have motherhood. and subsequently being a housewife. pushed on them from so early on Save. thinking about children for when you're. not children yourselves it's silly to. think about that now another comment. reads I rarely comment anywhere anymore. but in their newest video I was so glad. when I heard Ruby say to Sherry you. could be a great teacher or lawyer or.
engineer etc etc but then Ruby goes on. and says but most importantly a good. mother H I realize it's important to be. a good mom in their culture their. religion and even would have just been. fine to include into the list like and a. good mom but most importantly it is. likely that it's because Ruby got. married at 18 she had her first baby at. 21 and she never really had her own life. and for whatever reason she wants the. same things for her kids she Prides. herself in it in a video she says I just.
want to tell you an experience that I. had an English class that you really can. be and do anything you want I was in an. advanced English class so everyone who. was in the class was ambitious and we. had a college prep person talk to us and. we went around the room and we had to. stand up say our name and what we wanted. to be when we grew up and everyone that. stood up said lawyer doctor all these. wonderful ambitious goals and when it. was my turn to stand up I said I wanted. to be a mother and the lady said that's.
okay and what else do you want to be and. I said a housewife I want to stay home. and my teacher said Ruby I would like to. see at the end of class and he let me. have it about how I was not being. ambitious and how I was going to let my. talents go and I was settling and I. think that day marked a time in my life. where I said you know what not only am I. going to do it and show him who's who. you know I'm going to be good at it I'm. going to be a mom and a housewife and.
I'm going to be a good mom and this is. how good of a mom Ruby is in a separate. interview she shares a story where she. has no sense of self-awareness of how. cruel she is she shares every little. Sinister story like it's a cute. wholesome lesson she says a year ago my. daughter was saying her prayers she was. 6 years old at the time she was saying. her prayers and she said the cutest. thing I thought was so cute and I. started laughing she said dear heavenly. father please help me to survive and I.
thought it was so cute and I just. thought it was so cute it took me off. guard and I just kind of giggled a. little that's not funny that's alarming. she's six she should be praying for an. American Girl doll not for basic. survival which Chad already did in the. wilderness when he went to anastasi he. was praying for basic. survival this was again before the bed. incident so now people are bringing this. up again when he was 14 he was sent to. this Wilderness Camp the whole anastasi. Saga is a whole thing the way that Ruby.
and Kevin are talking about Anastasia. you would think that for every teenager. that goes into the Arizona wilderness. and breaks down into tears they get paid. a million dollars the way they promote. this Wilderness Camp is pathological. they're talking about sending him. they're dropping him off they're. clearing out his room they're. redecorating his room they're missing. him they're picking him up they're. seeing him again they're reacting to him. being back home it's nonstop anastasi. Vlogs which again this is just kind of. bizarre when you really think about this. is the context of a quote trouble teen.
therapy that they're sending Chad to. which is typically known to do a lot. more harm than good to which they talk. about anisi a little strange Kevin says. now you're probably wondering what the. heck we're talking about Chad today has. just entered the anazi foundation. Wilderness Therapy Program he's going to. spend the next 8 to 10 weeks living in. the desert mountains of Arizona so. you're probably wondering what did Chad. do okay well we're not even going to. entertain that stuff but it's an. accumulation of things over the years.
well before we started youtubing or well. before we got into social media and it's. reached a point where Chad needs to. develop some very basic maturity and. skills that he's going to need as an. adult we know later that it stemmed from. him getting expelled from school and. this was a recommendation from his new. therapist jod H debrand the Anastasia. Therapy Program prog but Ruby says in. the Vlog this is like a reset like a. start over like a do over a fresh. beginning Kevin says the idea with.
Wilderness therapy is that you can. survive with these peers in the. wilderness with nothing more than the. clothes on your back and a couple of. field supplies then there's nothing in. this world that you can't tackle Ruby. says they don't even sleep in tents they. sleep on the bare ground so if the. apocalypse ever comes and the zombies. come to get us we will be very grateful. that Chad is trained he's going to. mature out there he's going to have a. lot of growth and a lot of time to think. and really decide the quality of person. he wants to become I'm really proud of. him I'm really excited they said it's.
like the real Wilderness out there. there's snakes there's Bears there's. coyotes cougars like it's the real deal. Kevin butson we want Chad to have some. of those experiences I think close. encounters would be good for him and. he'll come home and he'll be like dude I. survived and there were Bears I can do. anything I'm not scared at all about. that kind of stuff what I lose sleepover. is when kids start self-sabotaging their. own efforts yeah that that's the kind of.
stuff that really concerns me she's. basically saying as a mom I'm not scared. about my son confronting a bear in the. wilderness I'm scared of self sabotage. it's like the most bizarre fear Kevin. says bottom line it's going to be a very. long time before any of us see Chad. we'll hear from him weekly in the. letters of the family we will we're. excited to see how all of us not just. Chad but how all of us are impacted and. changed by this.
experience the thing with Ruby is that. she's a yapper she's so good at talking. in a way that makes it seem like she's. an amazing mom or at the very least. she's a mom trying her best she says. Chad's on the trail but at home we're. also going to be on a trail we're going. to be walking alongside him and we're. going to be making commitments for us to. change and for us to try and become. better parents for. and for our other kids we've always. believed in being honest with you guys. we're not into playing with your. emotions because I know you guys are.
really invested in our family and I feel. a responsibility to be upfront with you. and honest you know there are things. that happen in your family that other. people don't know about and it's the. same with our family there are things. that happen in our family and you don't. know about it so just trust us that. we're doing what's best when Chad gets. back rubby makes Anastasia the only. thing that he can talk about she forces. Chad to talk over and over about his. experiences which it doesn't appear like. he had a great experience even if he did. I'm sure it's still a sore spot that. your parents just send you to fend for.
yourself for months I I would feel. abandoned they not only sent him but. they paid over. $10,000 to send him what. yeah some the estimates it seems like. they probably paid around like 15,000. but it could go up to like $40,000 some. parents take out loans to send their. kids to these crazy. camps wow how about like some vegetables.
yeah some pillows yeah some bedding and. like maybe try talking to your kid yeah. the worst part is when Chad gets back. Ruby has this whole Vlog dedicated to. surprising him with his room and trying. to make it. homey she covers the entire room in. anastasi memorabilia it's like a gift. shop for the Therapy Program I don't. know why Ruby was adamant on that one. comment reads I find it disturbing how.
Focus Ruby was on filling Chad's room. with Anastasia reminders when for all. she knows it could have been a really. traumatic negative experience for him he. could have been so excited to come back. to his home and have a proper bed only. to discover that his room has been. turned into a mini Anastasia and. constantly reminds him of it it just. feels like another way for her to. control and brainwash him rather than a. mother who cares about her son's. interest. also the fact that he gained 10 lbs. while on this rigorous Wilderness. Program was rubbing netizens rightfully.
the wrong way he also states that when. he got back he had no clothes because. quote when I went to anastasi mom got. mad and threw some of my clothes on the. floor and then she just donated them all. since then unseen footage of Ruby. filming Vlogs has come out so it seems. like I said the family has given over a. thousand hours of unseen footage to the. documentary makers and there's some. pretty terrifying stuff in the unedited. footage in one video she's sitting at. the bottom of her bed and she has the. aura of a kindergarten teacher that I.
would not trust my hypothetical children. around polite but she seems incredibly. unempathetic there are about 53. Saturdays in a year she lifts up a glass. mason jar filled with marbles this jar. is holding 100 marbles listen I do. struggle with spatial awareness but it. does look like 53 Saturdays and 53. marbles but maybe it's 100 she repeats. this jar is holding. 100 this jar is holding 100 marbles okay. so the last tip that I have for. calendaring is.
remembering my. last I always ask myself on the weekend. is what I've scheduled hey I'm still. recording come. on why am I hearing all this noise her. husband responds from downstairs it's. 12:30 and we're trying to get ready for. church that's why hi you see her turn. off the camera get up or seemingly get. up and then get back down to turn on and. she's smiling again I am a busy mom with.
six children and I'm always on the. go in another Vlog this is obviously. something she cuts out she's in the. kitchen talking about something when she. just flips a switch hold on hold on what. was that look for she's talking to one. of her kids whenever her kid says sorry. I just got nervous don't give me a weird. look just be yourself. that is myself well then change. it just be yourself that is.
myself well then change it in another. clip likely to show off how happy and. picture perfect Ruby is and how she is. an admirable mom for at least on camera. fulfilling her legal duties of taking. care of her kids just doing the bare. minimum on camera not even behind the. scenes but on camera she wants all the. kids to sit on the couch for a vlog and. I guess a few of them are not. cooperating because they're children and. she screams at the husband sit her down. on the flipping couch this has been. going on for years non-stop in another. clip Ruby is setting up the Christmas.
Tre and Chad is helping her he looks. pretty miserable but it's not like Ruby. is actively trying to have a good time. and bond with her son she just blows up. out of nowhere Chad I asked you to give. me a night where it's enjoyable to be. with you Chad take that look off your. face and just be happy to be with. us but I'm. not okay you know what then and then the. camera turns off Chad would later say. there were times that she blew up off. camera she would spank whip take the. belt out and whip my butt you know pull.
my pulled down my pants whip me in. another unseen Vlog clip Chad is younger. in the clip and he's sitting on the. couch Ruby is popped down right next to. him Chad it's your turn do you know. where your name came from do you know. where your name came from Grand of. course you know Chad is nodding cuz he's. like I just answered so what I don't. understand and she said says grandpa so. tell us who you're named after this is. like a very confusing conversation I. just said Grandpa then you said of. course you know grandpa so now I'm like.
why are you asking me again I I'm so. confused M he's confused and he says. Grandpa and she looks agitated which. Grandpa okay we're going to try this. again and you're going to be a little. more talkative here I am I'm talking I'm. answering your questions. she's silent for a moment and the camera. doesn't pick it up too well but clearly. there's someone talking or hanging out. in a nearby room hey if I hear your one.
word word get out then you hear Kevin's. voice off camera saying get out and. close the door Ruby is looking at her. kids with such disdain and disgust and. she turns to Chad if I'm going to let. you Vlog I don't and I'm going to spend. all my time helping you you're going to. help me too. I don't know what to do be excited to. tell them where your name came from even. if you have to fake it fake being happy.
okay I don't know if I can right now I. don't know why it's just okay well I'm. going to take a. break in another clip she's sitting in. front of the camera they're perfect for. Easter no you are not entitled to talk. while I'm recording sit back up there. and be quiet go downstairs now both of. you it's just like. by far one of the more alarming unedited. Clips to come out is Ruby is sitting at. the dining table shoving her ring into.
the camera I imagine it's a new ring. that she got a gift from Kevin I don't. know Kevin is holding the camera and. Ruby's little daughter is trying to. climb up onto the kitchen table maybe. she's trying to grab food maybe she's. trying to grab a snack maybe she just. wants attention or maybe she's just four. Ruby reaches over puts one hand on the. back of the little girl's neck the other. hand to cover her mouth but it's also. covering her nose because she's four and. Ruby's an adult and by the force of. grabbing her head she forces her off the. table and just Yanks her down and she.
tells Kevin we're going to cut that out. you get down and be quiet it isn't your. turn to talk now sit when you. are we going cut that out you get down. and you de. it this isn't your turn now sit to the. four-year-old yeah. and then Kevin just puts two fingers up. in front of the lens like now cut like.
scissors and cut yeah we're cutting that. out when nzen comment reads what I hate. most about this is the smiles and. laughter and bonding in the Vlogs I hate. it because it's manufactured manipulated. and fake these kids were miserable and I. hate that I found myself wanting to. smile at the family's interactions at. certain points because they see seemed. like a normal albeit strict household. that's the guise of evil this woman gave. to everyone she smiled and laughed while.
the kids were suffering and we didn't. even know it until it was too late so. while all of this new footage is being. drawn up Chad says he remembers that. they got this very expensive attorney. and PR person involved and they. suggested to Ruby that she apologize for. all of these instances Kevin says Ruby's. response to that was Over My Dead Body. I'm not sorry I'm saving my family we're. going to show the world what real. parenting looks like we're going to show. the world what it's like to make. impossibly tough decisions because you.
love your. child. wow she sa apologize Over My Dead Body. yeah this is when Ruby Frankie goes off. the deep end Ruby's entire reaction to. everything is you think I'm bad let me. show you how bad I can be her parenting. style very quickly goes from call CPS to. like I think we need SWAT teams like. this is becoming. extremely fanatic religion it's not even.
LDS Faith anymore it's just her. religious views are going straight past. normal Faith to just full-blown. extremist it's not the same religion. anymore she's using it to exert power in. the name of Faith she becomes obsessed. with God and vlogging about God she says. this is literally the way that God. intended our children to be raised up. this is what happens when things go A. right it brings us back to home base. which is I'm a Child of God I am at the. center that is where I am centered and. so I've been brought back to base and I.
decided that I was going to have more. prayers to get through the day cuz I. feel like I've been working really hard. she starts offering up advice to other. moms you know that I am teaching another. parenting class so we just WRA yeah she. starts making like full dedicated videos. to offer up advice and in one clip she. says what I say is often really. difficult for people to hear and what. I'm suggesting is that your woke child. is a walking zombie and you have the.
opportunity to wake that zombie up but. we are Beyond Band-Aids we are Beyond. putting a little bit of ointment on the. wounds we are beyond. that the title of the advice video is. aggressively titled your woke child is a. walking zombie I think it perplexed a. lot of nens because it seemed like in. the beginning there was some traction of. like let's call CPS she's reacting. negatively to this so maybe CPS is on. her maybe they're calling her maybe. they're visiting her home which they did. briefly but then now with this sudden.
shift netizens feel more alarmed they're. commenting she's giving culty Vibes. going to see Ruby on a True Crime. podcast W Ruby has completely gone off. the rails how has it come to this what. is this you've gone off the deep end. Ruby what is happening I feel sick those. poor kids who would ever take advice. from this controlling woman and people. start freaking out neighbors also. noticed that there were changes in the. kids they say around this point the kids. had been pretty bubbly up until this but. now they were very withdrawn and very.
seldomly seen out of the house it almost. seemed like there was no joy one. neighbor says we don't know what was. wrong but there was something. wrong and then Ruby Frankie and Charlie. dellio Clash what maybe not directly but. their whole world's kind of clash Ruby. is vlogging in the car and she looks. very distraught she explain explains. that at the middle school where her. daughter goes the school organized this. flash mob dance where the students would. learn and perform a Tik Tok dance Ruby. says she thought Tik Tok dance hm well.
what are the dance moves well what songs. are in this she says her daughter told. her one of the songs and she says quote. and I looked it up I looked up at the. lyrics and it was straight up. hardcore it is straight up. hardcore Straight Up I was reading the. lyrics quietly to myself as I was. scrolling it's all ful it's all. suggestive it's all seductive it's all. perverse nobody wants to look out for. these kids the teacher is being very. selfish because she wants to be hip up.
toate cool doing Tik toks entertaining. the school she wants to be lighted by. these teens that are 12 and 13 so I'm. going to go into that school I don't. have an appointment but I will sit in. the office until I am seen she Vlogs. about how she spoke with the assistant. principal and they told her that they. will relay the message to the principal. and that maybe she can come in tomorrow. to speak it's hard to gauge at this. point without knowing what song she's so. incensed over but knowing what we know. so far I'm not very inclined to ever.
take her side on anything the next Vlog. opens with her storming out of the. school she's spontaneously bursting into. tears like an angry toddler that's not. getting her I am so upset I'm so angry I. could. scream I'm so angry I could scream she. gets into the car and she's like. sniffling sobbing it's an. inappropriately strong reaction we sat. down and I said I have concerns about. the Tik Tok dances I said my problem is. the choice of songs and she said well.
all the songs were approved by me and I. said okay so you approved this song that. has all these lyrics in it she says well. we're not singing and we're not dancing. to those lyrics it's just a portion of. the song she mentioned how the principal. was talking about a grocery chain that. recently used it in one of their. commercials like a big imagine Ralph's. or Kroger like you would think that it's. family friendly then mhm you know and. obviously netizens were able to figure. out what song had Ruby and tears so. distraught it's low by fla shotti got.
them Apple Bottom Jeans boots with the. fur the whole club was looking at her. she hit the floor next thing you know. shotti got low but in the in the grocery. store chain commercial they just keep. replaying low low low cuz I guess like. maybe discounts or something so I think. that's the part that they were going to. play at the school. mhm which I don't know I just feel like. there's so much worse that a 12-year-old. could be exposed to like starvation not. having a bed a Wilderness therapy camp.
but Ruby decides this is the hill that. she's going to die on she cries that the. principal told her well that's moral for. you and it's not going to be moral for. other parents you know and I said it's. what's moral according to God the. principal explains that they're. basically just using the l l low part. but Ruby is upset do you understand that. you're compartmentalizing you're taking. an immoral song but you're saying you're. only going to take this section of it. they offer to not let Ruby's daughter.
participate but Ruby doubles down she. says she told them you're missing the. whole point of why I'm here I'm not here. for anyone's Comfort including my. daughters I'm not here to make her. comfortable of course she can move. classes not because you said so but. because I said so I'm the parent as you. the principal have these precious. children and you're not protecting them. and she starts full-on sobbing you're. introducing them to the world and you're. saying it's okay you're saying that you.
support this in the end you're not going. to answer to me who is telling you that. this is wrong I said you will answer to. what you brought into the school and you. exposed the children too the principal. tells her I am 100% fine with the choice. that I've made and Ruby says with giant. tears streaming down her face that she. told the principal well that's sick if I. want to raise my children I'm going to. have to do it myself I cannot count on. their teachers I cannot count on their. principal and I don't even like live in. a really crazy City I live in a quaint.
conservative City where people think. they're safe she claims the principal is. evil she says she is evil for her to. have a parent come straight at her and. tell her how evil this is and she does. nothing speaking of evil Ruby later says. in another video this is a separate. video I'm scared to share this because. knowing people these days I don't know. how they're going to respond she goes on. to talk about how she has six kids and. she says the two youngest are showing. long patterns of selfishness they've.
been showing um through their choices. their unwillingness to repent their. unwillingness to feel sorrow over some. pretty egregious choices that they've. made so Kevin and I have decided that we. are going to give the gift of Truth to. them this Christmas we are going to give. them the gift of boundaries we are going. to give them the gift of repentance we. let them know how deeply sorrowful we've. been because the choices that they have. been making and we told them that this. year they are not going to be visited by. Santa we let them know that the.
Christmas morning their four older. siblings will be getting Christmas. presents to open and that they will have. the gift of love from their dad and I. because we want them to really have a. viseral experience that hits them she's. out here admitting that childhood trauma. is the goal she admits that she would. even keep them home from school to force. them to clean the entire house but she. says I was really hoping that that would. bring them pain and it didn't it wasn't. painful for them it was like uh it. hasn't affected them because they're so.
numb so the more numb your child is the. greater The Experience they need to wake. them up Kevin supports this message. apparently because he also States the. world has these definitions of what love. and tenderness look like I watch all. these Christmas shows that I used to. just love because I feel warm and fuzzy. watching them and this year I watch them. and I'm like oh GR gross because warm. and fuzzy in these shows is always about. the end and the kid just getting. whatever they wanted the world has this. message and Society has bought into it.
hookline and sinker that love looks like. commercialism love looks like your kid. gets the big thing big boxes big red. bows that's love if you love your. children that's what you're going to do. okay these are completely different. topics if you don't like the. commercialization of Christmas then. don't get gifts for any of your kids or. do homemade gifts or do something fun. for each other why single out the two. youngest kids who out of all the. children probably take Christmas the. most seriously because of their age. nobody told you to buy a Lamborghini.
even a small educational toy to open on. Christmas morning would suffice God. forbid a child is. happy one of the neighbors's kids and. her parents came over to give the. youngest daughter a gift the other mom. says Ruby answered the door and my. daughter said Merry Christmas can you. give this gift to the youngest daughter. she took it and then she closed the door. and my daughter happened to see her. later and she was so excited she was. like did you get it I picked that one. just for you and her face just dropped. and she was like I didn't get it my mom.
made me throw it away so the two. youngest were forced to watch all their. siblings open presents and they got. nothing and this is when Ruby ditches. her entire eight passengers YouTube. channel and starts strictly posting. about being a quote mom of Truth she. changes the channel name when was this. this is in like like. 2021 oh wow 2022 yeah and we're going to. get more into that in part two and three. but neighbors who are trying to closely.
monitor the situation they start telling. CPS they start reporting Ruby because. she's online saying things like children. little children are sexual beings and. when a child goes into their room and. they do order where there was once chaos. they put their toys away and they pull. their bed tight fluff up their pillow. and they organize all their stuffed. animals and dolls. they put order to it and then they step. back and they feel really good about it. that is an act of being sexual little. children are sexual beings and how many.
of your children have done this where. they take their all of their animals and. order them they put order to it and then. they step back and they feel really good. about it that's an act of being sexual. exactly a what yeah to which someone. comments so that's called organizing. hope that helps I would say that's more. than enough grounds to call CPS but one. CPS worker asks the neighbor well did. you see any signs of physical abuse on. the kids the neighbor said I said no I.
didn't I didn't see any physical signs. of abuse on the Frankie kids the CPS. worker just told me that they needed to. see some physical evidence for them to. be able to step in and the neighbor says. in that moment she wishes she had just. lied to the government official to the. CPS worker yes I saw signs of physical. abuse because maybe maybe that would. have been able to stop what comes. next and that is it for part one of the. Ruby Frankie case in the second part we.
will be talking about jod hilderbrandt. so stay tuned let me know your thoughts. and make sure to check out Sherry's book. stay safe and I'll see you in the next. one. [Music].
