By far, the worst thing she did was accuse her youngest 2 children of m0lesting 20 other neighborhood children and younger relatives to the police after her arrest. And all this happened AFTER her arrest. She needs to face serious consequences for her POST-ARREST ACCUSATIONS which are infinitely more damaging than anything she did prior to her arrest. If I was Ruby’s ex-husband my first responsibility as a father is to file a defamation lawsuit against Ruby and get the record straight PUBLICLY about the post-arrest statements and accusations against her own children. She needs to publicly retract her statements for the record and they need to be made OFFICIAL in court proceedings. Its ironic to me that what she did after the arrest is INFINITELY WORSE than what she did before she went behind bars.

It wasn't until AFTER Kevin and Ruby separated, that all of this went down. And it was Jodi Hildebrandt who convinced them to split up... they were ADVISED by Jodi Hildebrandt that in order to save their marriage, they had to be separate, and Kevin was to have NO contact with his children. It was a set-up to isolate him from them. Jodi Hildebrandt has a psychological issue against men, herself, and she manipulates women to turn against their husbands. This is consistent not only with the Frankes, but has occurred in NUMEROUS clients that Jodi has 'counseled'. She's the true narcissist, and Ruby Franke is a victim of that narcissism. Ruby is at least realizing that now, and is willing to accept her responsibility in these acts. I was in a similar situation with my ex-husband... he is also a narcissist. And I realized that if I remained with him, I would either end up in prison, serving time for murdering him, or would be six feet under, myself. Neither option was viable to me, so I figured out a way to get away from him, permanently.

I wrote this comment before the video got to the reading from the lawyer: I would bet anything that Rubys plea deal will be implicating Jody. She will blame Jody for "brainwashing" her and manipulating her into thinking she was doing the right thing when it came to raising her children. Ruby is going to play the distraught "mother" that is devastated and traumatized by Jody. Bunch of bullsh*t.

Those therapists and psychologists should have their license revoked if it's true they let kids sleep on the hard ground and not even a mattress. Let alone a bed.

@brandonwilliams4050 7 месяцев назад

I suspect the "therapists and mental health professionals" Ruby is referring to is actually one person: Jodi Hildebrandt. When that video was made, Hildebrandt had been in contact with the Frankes for some time and she had already started working on destroying them from the inside out, with Ruby's help. Taking children's basic needs away and calling them "privileges" seems to be a classic Hildebrandt tactic; watch enough videos on this case and you will see people writing about how Jodi destroyed their relationships and some of those incidents are people describing her turning their parents into abusers while they followed her teachings.

I hope that the outcome dictates that she should have no contact with her children. And should the day come when she is allowed contact that it Has to be in the presence of the authority, whomever that might be. Her youngest son has always been so vulnerable since he was a little tiny boy because I watched it as I was a follower of their RU-vid channel. He was so impressionable, and so innocent, and so sweet that it sickens me to think what she has done to him. And we all know that he is willing to take on blame for things he had nothing to do with my heart goes out to that little boy. Sherry, the oldest daughter was more mother, to the little children than Ruby ever was. She in many ways reminds me of the mother that tortured her son, and caused his death at 15 years old, and was just convicted of murder.

The audacity of Ruby calling herself a “Mental fitness trainer“ when she herself is mentally unfit and unqualified to raise her own family, let alone advise anyone else’s family. This plea deal she’s seeking better still include jail time or the outpouring of anger from the community will be fierce. She must serve substantial jail time for justice to be served.
