Cops Find Ruby Franke’s Young Daughter Hiding in Jodi Hildebrandt’s Bathroom Closet 

This video needs to be shown to the parole board in four years. If her children attend - if the parole board wants their input. I hope they show her the same mercy she showed them.

She is a monster. But all questions should have stopped the second she asked for a lawyer.

Them kids been brainwashed

5 mins actual topic. 12 mins something else. 👎

@LawAndCrime why ya always show the minor's faces + say their names? even the police filter them out. Lets not victimize them further

I have a 12 year old son and a 9 year old son-I couldn’t imagine them ever going through this…crying!!! What torture did they go through?! Praying for them!!

Yes before is to late

​@@Mina.15 yup .. one of those kids would have ended up dead.

​@@chapmanchaps Well Eve was made to jump into a cactus. I can't even imagine. Their torture was beyond belief.

Too bad the police a child services ignored the 16 year old that ran away.

❤

Its victim handling of Stockholm Syndrome...if she had ran out crying and relieved that would have been an eaiery rescue but her reaction meant they had to let her come to them, or she probably wouldn't tell them everything

IKR, the way the last EMP talked to her, she was so sweet and caring, I'm glad she said "we helped your brother" I think that was what convince her that they were really trying to help.

The officers and medical personnel were phenomenal in their response to the children.

And even then, with how slowly she moved, like she was just waiting for it to be snatched away or to be hit....that poor baby.

wa

I cried too. That poor sweet baby. I pray that their lives going forward are nothing but peaceful, happy and safe

I felt the same, they are monsters.

I agree with you 100 percent

Absolutely bless him

His voice was so kind and gentle, you could hear his emotion . Bless his heart and his wife as well

This little girl looks emaciated. How could any adult condone this treatment. Jodi is only spending 4 years in Jail ?

I love the young female EMT. She was wonderful.

@@deniseganey6890four years minimum. She will have to apply for parole, which she may not get. Let’s hope that is the case till those kids turn 18

And the kids were allowed to take four hours and have some lunch in the meantime.

@@AaaaNinjayes, they handled the situation really well🩷

priorities done right. they knew there was potentially a kid in distress in there and they needed to get the anyone trying to delay the search out of the way first.

she should have been drug out by her f hair!!

they took too long imo. shouldn't have even given her a chance to leave the house herself. if she wasn't yt they would have. I hope she gets some street justice.

That boy's bravery is what saved his own and his sister's lives...

Yes little Russell saved them by escaping then the kind neighbours helped.

These poor children were slowly starving to death, while Hildebrandt looks like she never misses a meal or snacks. This is so sad, disgusting and infuriating! My heart breaks for these children.

@jaderavenwolf6137 I was just going to say the same thing. I remember his 911 call.

It would of turned into a different investigation if that boy hadn't escaped to the neighbor

That was really cute

That part was so touching! I completely agree! They handed the situation it should be done!

This comment needs to be shown everywhere. Officers are heros

@@Coast2Coast88agreed

​@Coast2Coast88 not all. Like OP said, he's an example of how police officers should be. There are others who wouldn't be this patient, nice or understanding. The ones that would have handled this differently aren't heroes and should learn from their colleagues

I've read about other peoples' encounters with Jodi Hildebrandt and how the father and mother are separated as part of Jodi's brainwashing therapy.

He deserves to be arrested for assisting in this abuse. The fact is he made no effort to help his own kids

He’s a pathetic wuss for not putting a stop to it. I totally agree he knew!

They had a very invasive RU-vid channel. They separated and were in the process of a divorce.

@@isabelprohaska5611but what about visitation? Did he ever get the kids and visibly see how they were not eating or getting abused?

tabora: And the couple (who helped the little boy) too.

Same! I imagine she was immediately thinking up ways in her head how he was going to be punished when he was found, and then the fear would have set in as she realised he completely got away.

And how old is he like almost the youngest and broke out, what's the reason he broke out ..like I'm going to the neighbors to get food like how do you escape that house?

They are all heros. Don’t get it twisted. They all survived

​@@It-is-me...MelsieI think they didnt believe they'd be in serious trouble and didn't see the gravity of the situation. Ruby was prob quiet bc she knew it would be on social media, not completely bc she thought it would be best legally. Ironic that Ruby finally is quiet.

She likely thinks it’s a test. Clearly they had tested her before and she was punished for it. I’m sure she was told the cops are ok with their treatment and will return them to her if they run. That’s a horrible position to put a child, or anyone, in.

4 hours before she gets up

It's heartbreaking.

The authorities had been called many times before or Ruby. As the neighbor man states. Too bad it had to get to the point where the kids were in such terrible shape.

I think she disassociates from her situation.

😭😭😭😭i wanna hug her

​@@musicartandplay5549same 😢 ❤

Me too felt like giving them a big hug and saying you are in the right hands now . Free from all torture that you faced

That's absolutely horrific as I sit here and cry.

It's disgusting, but Ruby and Jodi thought they were in the right. They somehow justified it all because they believed that demons were inside the children and that these things needed to be done for the kids to get rid of the demons.

I hope she doesn't end up with an bad eating disorder lter in life. Thay kind of abuse messes a lot of people up.

Yes it's a life sentence... After a while the hype and attention of the circumstances leaves; and then the kids are left alone with the traumatic ramifications of the abuse they went through.

💯 I completely agree with you. Those monsters should never get out of prison.

​@@snowwhite2524, their fellow prison inmates may just grant your wish. There are two ways criminals receive d3ath sentences. One is by a judge. The other is by an inmate.

One thing about prison is they serve their own type of justice… inmates are gonna give them their karma.

🙌

And to think about how these are people who deal with traumatic things every day. They still feel this way when it comes to children they respond to. It's heartbreaking but so necessary to have this compassion. That person is truly in the perfect role to provide that type of care.

That EMS lady appears to be the same EMS who EF eventually walked out of the closet with.

@@Billy_Rizzleyeah I’m pretty sure it is the same lady, too. Geez, I’m 56 years old and sitting here bawling just imagining what all those poor kids went through to be that traumatized.

Her not him

@Billy_Rizzle WOW, I didn't notice, have to go back and watch

My thoughts exactly! Except I believe she was instructed to hide.

@@glendathegoodwitch6987 techincally she was still hiding cuase if it wasn't for the brother, poplice wouldn't know where to find her at. Although it was punishment. There was a reason they weren't in sight just in case anyone came over unexpectedly.

Starvation

Do you see the metal dog cage in the corner of the closet? I’m sure she was put in there all the time. I just found this case after watching the Timmothy Ferguson case where he was a boy with autism that his older brother and own mother killed him. I’m so glad that boy had the courage and smarts to get away…Edit yes that may be a basket of some kind. At first glance it looked like a kennel.

@@scottinnh88 it looks like a basket of some sort it doesn’t have a top

MK ULTRA MIND CONTROL AND RITUALISTIC 😢ABUSE. HOME EDITION WITH AN AUDIENCE FOR PROFIT HER SUBS ARE DISGUSTING

Trauma these poor kids will have to endure the rest of their life 😔

They broke her spirit. I’m truly heartbroken after watching this

Broken and her beautiful hair cut off. 😢💔 Watching her made me cry.

wait this is eve?

It is 😢 ​@@Sophia-lb4jg

@@Sophia-lb4jgyes! Sweet little boisterous Eve. Absolutely heartbreaking to see her abused and broken in that way. She was such a happy and silly child

I have a badge😢

I thought she acts like a broken down dog...poor girl. The way she took the pizza broke my heart😢

Yes, that was my thought too, that she was behaving like an abused pet. ☹☹

This is even worse than I thought.

They were, Ruby chronicled everything they did to the children in her diary.

Especially when she didn't respond when he says "We've got Jody out here... She's outside with us". She didn't want to go with the officer because I'm sure she wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere near that woman!

She’s a devil not a mother

Exactly

Biological egg donor and abuser…nothing more. 😢

She’s definitely not a mother- she doesn’t know how to be

​@@jessicasuzanne___right. She only knows how to make babies

😔 I hope he gets the right help , care and love that he and sister needs after all of this.

This is heartbreaking

Yes this touched my heart soooo much. That little girl was clearly so so traumatized.

@@chapmanchaps Made me choke up when she opened the food. It's horrible what they went through :(

I literally cried during that part. She clearly has no reality of what’s going on, she acted like a robot. The boy had the courage to seek help and speak. I feel like the sister copped it the worse. She had the body of a 2 year old 😭

How flipping sad to see how small she was. I cried watching that and how broken she was. They are just children. Like wtf. So cruel and evil

Her quitness and the fact she has a buzzcut, makes her remind me of Eleven from Stranger Things. (I know thats a fictional show and this is real, but just wanted to share where my brain went, but this is absolutly horrible)

😢 devastating

Summer Wells' head was shaved too.

Jodis niece said Jodi did the same thing to her, cutting off her hair.

Ruby wrote about why her head was shaved in her journal they just released.

I cried so hard just now!! They are DEMONS….PURE EVIL!😢

Just now watching her interrogation. She is possessed I stg

Like Bergen Belsen

I hope her fellow prisoners show her exactly how her children felt.

@@aliciabell6688she needs some prison justice. She didnt even deserve that water or snacks.

Which makes her "apology" in court that much harder to believe. She's evil and should never be allowed back in the free world and definitely never have any contact with those kids

I found Ruby to be quite frightening during her interview! Her head movements and strange blinking made me feel so uncomfortable!

@@babichickan181same... it looked to me like she was fully comfortable keeping eye contact with the 2 officers, almost like a game of control. Her response and tone about waiting for a lawyer was off the scale arrogant. She is completely twisted.

Yep. It was disturbing to watch. I don’t know how police officers do it, I don’t think I’d be able to control myself, sitting across from such a smug face knowing what she’d done… It doesn’t help that she has what my late nanna would have called “a face you’d never tire of punchin”.

Agree. Weird and sick. And guilty. Something isn't right up there in her head and I agree with one of you saying this is exactly why her so called "apology speech" (which basically was all about her, thanking all and nobody for treating HER, not one sincere sorry to her kids..)isn't to be taken serious, it's all fake.

The irony isn’t lost

And to think how many people she had brainwashed with her bullsh*t…

She is evil

I cried like a newborn baby 👶 😭

The people TAKING the advice as gospel are terrifying. Guarantee there's someone punishing their children by withholding food right now because of Franke's "advice". She had MILLIONS of followers.

This is the real her. Not the version of her who was apologetic after her sentencing.

Yeah Everytime she blinked it ticked me off because she just wanted her lawyer and then she tells the court she's sorry and thanked all them involved 🙄🙄🙈

Actually, monsters are kind and loving compared to Ruby...

She looked so smug.

She’s probably a sociopath.

I remembered heparin in the 911 call that there have been other problems with Jodi like they already knew she was a puke. Does anyone know what she was doing for the neighbors to clue into her sickness? The houses are huge in that neighborhood and spaced out, so I would wonder what they saw prior to the children escaping.

The kid was so sweet and polite when he asked for help.

So sorry to hear this. Sending you the loving hugs you missed out on.

😭😭😭

On point

I thimk he asked for two, because after he asked to be taken to the police he said “just one is fine”…I bet anything his second favor was water or food. Horrific.

He probably rehearsed it to perfection in his head on the walk over, poor child @@eesparza92

@@eesparza92 I agree 😢

yes i agree 100%

❤❤❤

I love that he sat beside her on the floor 😢❤

The cops approach was far too soft and passive. As a former child abuse victim I would have preferred the adults to lead and pull me out of the closet due to my extreme mental conditioning. I could not will myself to disobey my abusers mental conditioning. I was brutally physically and mentally abused, bloody beatings and mental torture. Even to this day my adult life has been severely affected by my experiences.

That poor little girl is SO traumatized. I can’t even imagine the years of therapy she’s going to need to undo all of the damage these evil women did to her.

And Jodi said if they knew all the pieces that they’d have empathy. Don’t need all the pieces to have empathy for those kids. Having empathy for them however, she’s delusional!

You could not have described that poor baby better than that. It probably took her so long to stand up because she is so starved.😢

Exactly omg 😢 what a painful description

In Ruby's journal she describes putting her in a dog washing bin and hosing her down then shaving her head AGAIN because the poor girl dropped a box she was supposed to carry during the "corporal punishment". Horrifying!

​@@mimilapinOMG! Are you serious!? Those women are EVIL and disgusting. I hope they get punished in jail by the inmates.

I think the little girl didn't realize that she was being saved (saved forever)... She probably thought the police just came to ask questions and were going to leave later and that she would be back under the control of Jody and Ruby. She probably thought that if she didn't say anything at all....she wouldn't get in more trouble when they left. The poor kid was terrified of those two women.

@@katiehenry7 yeah I also got the sense that she thought she would get them in trouble and get punished later. So sad

@@katiehenry7She probably thought they were there to put her in jail for being “a bad girl”. The boy who escaped told them something like he knows he’s a bad boy & deserved to be punished, but he was too hungry or his physical abuse was too much. It often takes years to decades for abused kids to really realize how abused they were & that there’s nothing they could’ve done to stop the abuse because their abuser is rotten & miserable on the inside so the try to beat the misery out by hurting & blaming other people. There are 2 types of parents who abuse their kids. The first kind was abused as a child & is copying their parents parenting; they don’t want to abuse their kids, but they don’t know how to make themselves stop, & it’s also made worse if they are drunk or high. They do love their kids are often fun & loving to their kids too. The second kind of abuser can’t be taught how to control their tempers & learn better parenting methods because they actually enjoy hurting people. Jodi, Rubi, & possibly Kevin those kind of abusers; they’re sadists. I think you have to compare them to serial killers to truly understand them. They aren’t people who just lose it because a kid is crying or misbehaving in some way. They like to think about evil things they will do when they are driving to work or going to sleep, etc. Those type of people should never be given custody or even visitation with their kids because they are the kind of parents who kill their children either because they take things too far & the kids die “accidentally” or they get so mad they kill them on purpose.

me too im crying at the gentleness of the officer. So disgusting i can't!!

Awards for doing their job properly? That's called a paycheck

@@Luci-pz8xx Eh, empathy is a great quality to have as a cop or EMT, but unfortunately not guaranteed in the same way that would be expected of a mental health worker. These guys handled it like a specialist in child behavior and psychology would have handled it. It shows a great level of care.

I thought the same, reminded me of videos I've seen with people helping stray dogs. The care and patience needed to let them know they're safe and gradually get them out of the situation they're in.

Abused animals are terrified of their abusers just like little innocent children🙏🏻💔

Reminded me of my dog rocksy. We got her from the pound and she was very skittish. Took her a month before she would eat in my presence. Took 6 months for her to come into the house. Now she’s plump happy and loves napping and chilling on the couch with me.

Power

That was so cool. Nice work heros!

I know 💕💜

I said the same thing 😢❤

Extremely dangerous giving her the food though. She could have developed refeeding syndrome after being starved.

The cops approach was far too soft and passive. As a former child abuse victim I would have preferred the adults to lead and pull me out of the closet due to my extremely mental conditioning. I could not will myself to disobey my abusers mental conditioning. I was brutally physically and mentally abused, bloody beatings and mental torture. Even to this day my adult life has been severely affected by experiences. Children depend on adults for leadership and command, they are not strong and independent.

Definitely.

But 4 hours! That little girl was absolutely petrified heartbreaking to see 💔

@@Ruth78620 The officers were so patient with her. No pressure just calm, kind and gentle words 🤍

they cut her hair!! this is so sad!!

Yes should have said first that they were called by her brother.

Yes!

Exactly! Just like they did to that poor soul!

She is going to get more than a buzz cut once she's in population.

Don’t worry……..they’ll give her more than that.

I’m sure her buddies behind bars might help with that

The woman? That's a fire rescue lady

@@jaydub2546 read slowly. the cop… that gave her food. 6:33

Oh gosh…😢

Cps doesn’t care here in Utah at all it’s so very frustrating

2019? That’s a long time. I don’t know why they only got 30 years and the possibility of going out at seven years? What kind of justice is this?

This is so sad bruh

I live in NYC… No matter what you call them ACS, CPS, DYFAS…. They ALL suck…. They are NEVER held accountable.

Ruby Franke got 30 years in prison.

@@jaredmehrlich6683DID SHE HECK! She PLED guilty and her sentence is to be decided by the parole board.

​@@jaredmehrlich6683 she got 4-60 yrs.

Yes he is ❤❤❤ I will never understand hurting a child ever 💔

I hope they will be friends for life, the brother and sister and help each other healing.

@@Hellofa6ird I hope she serves at least 25 years

1000 years is more appropriate.

Her sentence is far lighter than it should be

And they cut her hair off. This explains why they were asking Hildebrand about three children - they thought the child with the buzzcut was a boy. Girls in Mormon country don’t have cropped hair.

Yes, I agree

All those scars, knowing she’d been forced to jump into cacti repeatedly. They wouldn’t have made it another week like this, Russell was about o go into sepsis.

And filming and pictures actually add pounds on people.

Same here, I thought all the responders acted brilliantly and professionally.

Surprisingly I agree with you, this just makes me sick to my stomach. These adults Jodi, Ruby and Kevin are disgusting and should rot in jail

I can’t stop crying

Seriously what I thought watching this

Yeah it sounded absolutely awful on paper, but to actually see the conditions, the mental and physical abuse that the kids were in... Can't wrap my head around how a "mother" could do this

@@Ferreneh yes and also feel qualified to tell other people how to raise their children, just disgusting

Yes and it took 4 hours to get her out! So sad. Heartbreaking really ! 💔 If her brother had not escaped , I’m afraid death was possible.

I’ve seen poor peoples kids being treated worst than this every day and it’s just considered normal😂

I cried as well

Same here... I got chills. This is so sad.😔

This was the 2nd time he escaped. He was severely punished for the other time. That's also why he was "tied down". Poor little guy is so brave!

I'm balling my eyes out.

@@melsafken764 Brave young man.

Exactly!!! She was the TOTAL opposite of how she is in this video 😭😭😭😭

Russell’s bravery goes above and beyond many adult men I know!! They would have certainly died if not for him!! Hearing that they shaved Evie’s head just broke my heart into pieces. I’m sitting here in a puddle of tears.

Stop watching family channels. If they aren’t abusing kids to this degree, they’re exploiting them for money. They’re all evil. Stop supporting these asshles

Yes.

That was this second attempt at escaping. I can't imagine what happened to him when they found out :'(

@@erikamulvey7859she actually wrote journals about the first time he ran off they came out today :(( they are horrific

Him saying that so politely hurt my heart.

He was probably going to ask for food or water and then convinced himself it would be too much to ask 😭

​@@jadefarley3368 That's what I was thinking😭

Still, she has the same 5th Amendment right as everyone else to remain silent.

BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT

Tbf this is how EVERYONE should behave if you're being questioned by the police like this, whether you did something wrong or not. It's ALWAYS better to exercise your rights than to talk to the police.

The entitlement and arrogance on her face, was infuriating. She doesn't give 2 sh!ts about her kids.

It’s infuriating watching her protect her rights when she had stripped to children of theirs.

OMG!!!! That is so evil!!! Complete mental manipulation! I hope Jodi spends lots of time in solitary confinement. I bet Jesse would be an excellent person to help these kids recover since she’s already walked this path herself.

Yes of course! That explains why she was so hesitant to talk. 😢

This!!

No one listened. Now there’s irreparable damage done to these innocent children

exactly i remember there was even a petition in 2020/2021 for cps to investigate their home created by people on tiktok but they went to the home and did nothing! and then ruby went on instagram laughing at the whole situation saying everyone who made and signed the petition was ridiculous

@@chelskaf I hope she is reminded of that now every day she sits in there hopeless wondering if she’ll get the chance to be a mom again like she had her children wondering when the next time they get to eat. Hopeless.

And he was so polite asking for a favor💔

I took her behavior as her mind was racing to try to come up with a story.

Notice how her eyes are blinking. Either she is on something or she’s been brainwashed.

She has always had a better than you persona.

She is mentally disturbed. She doesn't have real emotions.

This reminds of another family and the daughter got away but she was 17 look and sound like 7 years because of abuse she endure her and siblings and it was 13 of them I believe happen few years ago.

i get so nervous now when i see a cop interacting with someone who is "non compliant" due to not reacting bc of mental distress. this one was a relief to see, wonder if they have kids of their own ❤

💯💯💯

I think the officers did incredible on scene, too

@rachaelmccarl yes, and the officer and EMT who both sat with her. That was heart wrenching to watch. Those were the first kind and gentle words those kids had heard in a long time.
