20/20 ‘Ruby Franke: From Momfluencer to Felon’

Ruby Franke’s KZfaq channel “8 Passengers” was a portrait of social media success. For years, the wife and mother of six, amassed nearly 2.5 million followers documenting the daily life of her children. However, the image of the perfect family began to crack when her controversial videos displayed her strict parenting. In August of 2023, one of Ruby’s children, malnourished with duct tape and wounds on his wrists and ankles, escaped the home of Franke’s friend and business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, and asked a neighbor for help. A new “20/20,” with reporting from “Nightline” co-anchor Juju Chang, unravels the unimaginable abuse at the hands of Ruby and Jodi, told through never-before-seen body camera video, recorded calls, and Ruby’s own journal detailing the horrific abuse.

If anyone ever finds themselves in the horrific situation of finding a starving person, give them water but don't give them food because if they haven't eaten for over five days and they suddenly eat, they can have a cardiac arrest, it's called refeeding syndrome and was a common phenomenon when the Nazi concentration camps were liberated. Can't blame the cops for not knowing this because this situation is exceptionally rare, thankfully

You know, Pam had to know about this. I just don’t get why she got off? Kevin as well. If he didn’t know about the two young kids, he was involved with eight passengers, with the four older. And now, because of his own weakness, he neglected his own children for over a year. And he wants custody now? I just think that’s a joke. I guess I don’t understand Utah laws. all of those children should never be reunited with their parents. I think it would be best. If those children stayed in touch with Chad and Shari, and Get adopted out together.

@bummblebee77 2 ай бұрын

I watched the whole episode online and Jodi convinced Kevin that he had a porn addiction and needed to stay away from the family. Ruby agreed. The separation agreement stated that he was not allowed to have contact with the kids or with Ruby unless she initiated it. He had no contact with the kids for over a year because Ruby wouldn't let him. He had no idea what was happening to his own kids until the police told him. He is currently seeking full custody of the 4 kids as well as file for divorce.

I disagree. Obviously you've never been at the mercy of a zealous, Christian, psychologist, before, so there but for the Grace of God go you. But it's evident to me that Jodi Hildebrandt completely snowed this man into believing she was haunted, he had a sex addiction, & that he needed to leave his wife in order to be a good dad. After he left, they cleaned out his savings account & the cops found $85 THOUSAND DOLLARS in CASH in Jodi's office. He was so clearly conned that I think this just shows that ppl are judgmental, NOT that their judgment is accurate.

Mormons pretty much run Utah, the police and legal system are full of them. That's why the cops handed Jodi's niece back to her after the niece bravely tried to escape herself.

After watching this entire episode on TV via my cable, I can tell you that R & E are now together in Foster Care and are doing much better now that they are happy and back to their hobbies. Hearing that part (which isn’t in this video for some reason) really warmed my heart and while they may be living happy lives now, I know for a fact that they won’t want to see their mother or even have a relationship with her ever again especially after what they went through. Ruby (along with her now Ex Husband) should NEVER be seen around children ever again or even take care of them for that matter since they literally raised them in an environment that I would consider well beyond dysfunctional

Curiously, anti-religious people tend to lead opinion that our governments need to be bigger, with more power and money, which they use to make more oppressive rules, war, and profits for themselves, similar to the worst criticisms of religion, but on a scale no religion has ever achieved.

After 1 really bad beating my brother and i decided to hide that belt. That was a huge mistake. She beat us until we have it back. That's when the real beating started.
