I tried to find out what Ruby did for a living before becoming a RU-vidr but I couldn’t find anything. Apparently she's never worked. So Kevin, despite being the breadwinner, let her run the house with an iron fist. Possibly for religious reasons & to give her a sense of importance. She reminds me of the mom from Carrie & Annie Wilkes from Misery. She's so insecure that she used her kids as a replacement for the world; the world she couldn’t control. Her children, she could.

Both Ruby and Kevin were raised in the Mormon church and raised in this same way. The first family in the Book of Mormon talks about Lehi cursing 2 of his children that wouldn't partake in the teachings of the book of Mormon and subsequently made half his children into cursed evil scapegoats and the others golden children. Makes sense why many in the church raise their children the same way. Its sick.

The 2 youngest who were the victims of this horrific abuse are in protective foster care. The father Kevin is trying to get custody of the minor children which none of us want to see happen! He was not allowed to see his children for over a year per Jodi's recommendations but there was no actual legal order in place.

I genuinely hope this woman is never around those poor kids or walking around society in general unsupervised ever again
@kateemma22
@kateemma22 3 месяца назад
I can only answer this as someone who has a family member with diagnosed psychosis: psychosis in based in FEAR. When a person slips into a psychosis state they lose complete touch with reality and their actions are not under their own control. They're unaware of what they're doing, usually forget what they're doing afterwards, and cannot justify their actions during or after the fact. Ruby has proven in the journals that she is choosing her actions, knows what she is doing, can justify to herself what she is doing, and happily recounts what she is doing for praise. Psychosis is a psychological issue that people suffering from it cannot control and they're innocent victims of a brain issue. Following religious teachings because you desperately want someone, whether it's a fat 40-something woman who's hated by everyone she's come across or it's your sky daddy, to tell you that you're a special little girl (both Kevin and her sisters have outlined that from a young age Ruby was desperate for attention and praise from ANYONE she came across) is a choice. We need to stop giving a$$holes 'has a mental health issue' as a justification when really they're just wastes of oxygen.

I agree, because I watched the video where police detained Ruby's OTHER partner in crime, PAM. As Ruby was being arrested, her 2 teenage daughters were at Pam's "scrubbing floors" and cleaning house, as Ruby regularly loaned them out to work as slaves for Pam. Pam had been detained in order for the 2 girls to be taken into the custody of Child Services. But the girls acted really weird. They should have been happy to be rescued from those monsters. Instead, the youngest one appeared to be plotting to RUN, and neither girl ever said a word. They really were brainwashed to believe horrible things, with one of those things being that Police are all evil and dangerous. They are to be feared and avoided. I'm so glad the 12 year old boy hadn't completely bought into that garbage like his 2 sisters had.

If I said yes to what he said I was lying and if I said no then I was lying. Physical abuse was minimal but happened when he’d get really drunk. I never did anything about it because I didn’t want to be taken from my parents. And I knew that dad had a problem and it wasn’t him just being evil. But I listen to this case and it’s like….

I don't think they intended for the kids to survive. The kids are the witnesses to the abuse, and I'm pretty sure Ruby wanted to get rid of the witnesses, and one of her journal entries alludes to the son's life ending. Also, hikers have been found dead in that desert even when they had water, because their body temperature got too high. Ruby constantly put the kids in danger of that. Their plan to move to Arizona, on a big ranch, is another indicator of their intentions. No help for the kids out in the middle of nowhere. Ruby is one of the cruelest characters I've ever seen.

Saw a little quote recently where a constructive person was trying to reach an abusive parent and said, "Don't forget, your children are your biographers". No wonder some abusive parents want subconsciously for their children to die prematurely so to hide the truth of the wickedness. During a time when I had some therapy, the medcheck nurse on duty said "Our parents try to kill us and we try to finish the job". Hardly believable but that's so much of the human experience out there and I still struggle believing my own experiences as there was so much trickery involved.

Jodi just helped her take it to an unbelievable next level. There is so much to this case. The father was present for the extremely harsh parenting. But for the actual abuse, he said he hadn't seen his children in a year!? This whole thing is so bad. Just all bad. How could you be so blessed with beautiful healthy children & utterly destroy their childhood. I'm sure they will eventually heal from all of this and move on. But their childhoods will forever be tainted by this nightmare of a mother. I've heard family members of Jodi say it is all Jodi's doing for the most part. The theories, the punishments etc. No matter how brainwashed or off the rails Ruby went...she is still the mother. It is still her job to protect her kids. Instead, her warped mind saw them as evil.

Both Ruby and Jodi were clearly poisonous people before they met, but once they got together, some weird destructive folie à deux developed that made them both even worse.

He participated in plenty of the craziness and even called himself the “resident exorcist.” He was also very delusional he just wasn’t one of the ringleaders and it would be dangerous to give him those kids back after all they have been through imo.

THIS. When I read Jodi was apparently deemed to be “possessed” at some point, that sounded so odd to me how they could trust her judgement when dealing with their kids..?

Intense religiosity + crazy mother = torture for those poor kids. Seems far worse than an alcoholic parent. I hope the kids are being well taken care of.

They can both be equally horrific. It's not the abuse Olympics.

“With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion.” As quoted from a Hitchens speech. I suppose alcohol can encourage a bad person to become uninhibited and do evil. Religion does the same thing, and no alcohol is required. A bad person can use the suspension of disbelief, where the ridiculous becomes the possible, driven by unseen “demons” from their evil imagination.

this is literally the plot of The Binding of Isaac. crazy hyper-Christian mother hears a "voice from above" one day and believes that God is talking to her and telling her to "save" (abuse) her child, taking away everything that would bring him happiness, locking him in his room with no clothes or toys, and finally resorting to killing him with a sacrificial dagger to eradicate Satan's corruption. in the game, depending on the path you take, Isaac's mother could die by having a Bible fall on her head, or Isaac could lock himself in a chest and die of suffocation, or be permanently never seen again(portrayed by a missing poster for Isaac floating in the wind), just to name a few of the endings. i'm glad in real life these kids were able to escape the abuse and are hopefully now doing better far, far away from this monster. i hope they are also receiving therapy and all the support they need to heal and move past this extremely traumatic time in their life.

Idk personally I would have preferred my parents to be drunk, at least it would explain away some of their evil behavior. Doing some of the things they did stone cold sober is much more twisted and sick. ​@@elianazuniga6541

I just saw Kevin Franke's police interview. For many reasons it was bizarre. I'd love it if Dr. Grande took that relationship on.

Ruby is a sadist & was gleeful & boastful even in her 8 Passengers videos. EF is a strong & brave little boy. He saved his own life & that of his little sister. I hope Ruby is sentenced to the maximum because she'll never change

I don’t think the place they planned to move to was paradise in Ruby’s mind. She was just concerned they would get caught if the children escaped. She already said so in her journal. She said “he wants me to go to prison” when R escaped the first time. She said they planned to intensify the treatment on the children when they moved because it would be safe to do so, as they would be totally isolated off grid like. If R had not escaped again when he did. They would have been moved to a more isolated location and those children would be dead.

Religion is supposed to be about faith love and kindness - these people that start thinking they’re speaking directly with a higher power on a daily basis seem to be in some form of psychosis - they’re so dangerous and need to be locked away for life I’m not religious - I’m spiritual - but if there are any religions preaching that this kind of abuse is the way to raise children it needs to be stopped - it’s so damaging to a persons personality and then seems to repeat through generations - the abuse - it needs to stop

How very ironic that everything that Ruby wrote in her journals, she was the very thing she accused her children of being and even more ironic. Everything she wrote about what would happen to her kids ended up happening to her. If you ask me it’s karmic poetic justice.
