Therapist Reacts: Ruby Franke's Warning Signs of Family Dysfunction

Therapist Reacts: Ruby Franke's Warning Signs of Family Dysfunction | 8 Passengers

It's time, let's talk about Ruby Franke and her recent arrest alongside Jodi Hildebrandt's. The truth is there have been warning signs of Ruby Franke and her 8 Passengers KZfaq channel for a long time. I took the time to look back at the content from Ruby Franke and the 8 Passengers channel to ask were there any warning signs of child welfare or mistreatment? Or was there toxic or unhealthy or traumatizing behaviors that took place both at her home and within Ruby Franke's content. To no one's surprise, there were. Let's talk about the signs we should have seen from the 8 Passengers channel and Ruby Franke's personal accounts - and signs you should watch out for in your own family or families you may know. The truth is family abuse and toxic family behaviors are all around, and if you have experienced a toxic family or upbringing you may have not dealt with child trauma, childhood emotional neglect or PTSD that you may want to look into. What warning signs did you see from Ruby Franke, Jodi Hildebrandt or the 8 Passengers channel? What did I miss?

Woman in prison hate child abusers. Most are mothers who have been separated from their own children. I’m going to guess Ruby and Jody will have some meals withheld. That’s the least they will do.

@@Julesb2183 you said it well. I have met many Mormons with the same evil malice. I also met kids abused by the sect. I was younger, in my 10s, then later, in my teens and 20s, again I met more children of the cult with many sexual issues, trauma, completely dysfunctional. Their parents had the same abusive behavior I notice in Ruby and Jodi. Another sect where I noticed and I was also a victim from, was in the Baptist church. My father became one and his woman, also "converted". Both made my life hell on Earth. The whole cult would come to our house to harass me. These cults are dangerous and all types of psychos inhabit them. Later, when I was in Canada, I read a book, "The People of the Lie". I was shocked! the majority of the patients and cases studies by that psychiatrist proved to me I wasn't wrong: I had met throughout my life such individuals. Many were parents of friends of mine or people in my own family. It was appalling to realize how many of these creatures passed by me on this Earth. A friend read the book and she got another shock: in those pages she found her own ex husband who abused her and her children. She told me: "my dear, this book is a gem! There are so many mentally ill beings around us and we haven't realized... after reading this book, I am very much afraid of my ex!"... I advice you to read that book and pay attention. You'll find Ruby, Kevin and Jodi in those pages too.

It shows how damaged and dysfunctional this woman has probably always been. The fallout on her kids may only extend the cycle for another generation. I hope all of the kids are getting the love, acceptance, compassion and mental health support they need to become hopefully healthy adults. Franke is clearly mentally ill. She deserves to be punished and desperately needs mental health treatment before she goes out and gets her hands on another child. My only question: Where in the world is the father of these kids???? How had their physical condition sunk so low HE didn’t step in?? I wonder about his own culpability; he’s equally responsible for their children.

The judge/judges who denied the search warrants after repeated calls from school officials, older siblings, and neighbors MUST be held accountable. The threshold for search warrants should be at the lowest level possible when a child’s welfare is at stake. When abuse and/or neglect is suspected, that warrant needs to be issued!! Call out the judge/judges who refused to help these children. Had a warrant been issued when law enforcement was requesting it, the abuse may never have risen to the level that jt did. A full audit/review of what went wrong in this case is a must. Because the next time a family is in crisis and children are at risk, they may not make it out in time.

In evangelical Christianity and some Mormon communities, they are taught children's nature is satanic unless parents train it out of them, because children are the closest to how animals behave in human form until they learn to be "civilized" and so strict Christian parents punish their kids for acting natural or animalistic at all. So wanting extra food, wanting privacy, wanting to run free, play in the dirt, make messes, experiment with boundaries, become interested in sexuality as they get older..

I think some of the factors that contributed to lack of action included their religion--St. George area has a high number of Mormons and their is some "protection of our own" dynamics, that neighborhood is one of the wealthiest in this area, and finally , CPS in this area is understaffed and poorly trained and likely didn't look closely enough at the situation. None are excuses but I think likely contributed to lack of action sooner. Such a sad situation all around

@DembaiVT 3 ай бұрын

Probably nothing. Narcs tend to develop in a family where there is abuse happening to someone else. They see the bullying and discover they won't be punished for participation in it. They don't recieve any positive reinforcement, which results in a net negative of their self esteem. They quietly recognise that they could be the victim, and as such, get it into their head that they must be very special or powerful or chosen. And they learn thay blaming the victim of abuse for their own failings will result in the victim being hurt. By the time they are old enough to theoretically know right from wrong, they see it as a black and white dichotomy. Those who understand that they are special and perfect and should be feared and respected...and enemies, who is anyone who ever disagrees with them. So in essence, they have a type of trauma but it's especially hard to deal with because so long as they have ANYONE to blame for their behavior, they're very prone to continue to see themselves as a victim of the enemies who don't understand how perfect they are.

BUT the reaction it triggered in Eve really really gave the impression of a well-rehearsed skit! She launched into it & it didn't feel genuine completely. & Then when she prompted her a cpl Xs w\the "is that right?" & Eve KNEW what she was supposed to say but after hesitating longer & getting another nudge, she went off script a little & said "Well u yell sometimes." & She looked at Eve & then Eve continued w\the response she was supposed to be giving.

This came from Jodi's "therapy". She did pretty much all the same things and made the same type of accusations against her niece Jessi 14 yrs ago. She's got this weird fixation on accusing husbands and children of innapropriate sexual behavior. She believes she receives revelations from god in her dreams and tells her "patients" this is what god showed her and because of that, it can't be argued. She's split up numerous married couples that were referred to her by their bishop's for therapy. And I doubt that her niece and Ruby's children were the only minors she's abused in this way. She told her niece the point was to make her life so uncomfortable that she would confess all of her sins and once she did it would stop, but when her niece would make the false confessions, Jodi would just move the goal posts. There's so many people now coming out revealing Jodi's beliefs and methods. They couldn't before, because Jodi would go after and completely destroy the lives of anyone who spoke out against her. The woman's beliefs are so messed up, part of her Connexions literature states that being physically attracted to your spouse is LUST. And she's 100% convinced of her own BS. She's said to have this knack of combining church doctrine with her own screwed up beliefs to brainwash her clients, primarily wives and mothers of it. I'm certain that Jodi has Ruby 100% believing that her son did these things. But that's not to say that Ruby isn't responsible as well. If you haven't heard her niece Jessi Hildebrandt's interview on the Mormon Stories YT channel from last week, check it out, it's shocking, but incredibly insightful. I've never had the patience to listen to a 3 hr podcast before, but this one had my full attention all the way through.

@fabigrossi2976 7 ай бұрын

If you know more about Jodi it's clear at once that this talk comes from her. Jodi has a pattern of separating men from their families, claims it's necessary to heal the relationship between the couple, she always claims the men are addicts to pron, mast*rbation and the like and when you listen to the interview of Jodi's niece, who had to go through Jodi's "treatment" as Ruby's little kids you not only see a pattern, but more red flags than anyone could count. Jodi is deeply disturbed person, her problems are more than obvious when you put everything together. And in Ruby she found a willing victim/buddy in crime.

This is uncomfortable to watch because it’s eerily reminiscent of my childhood, but nothing more overt was done to make it possible to know it was abuse. I was punished severely for having an eating disorder. Literally banished from the home and not allowed to continue training to go professional in ballet for a while. It destroyed my career. I was told that I was being difficult for any relapses that got found out or having emotions and lectured about the bubble theory-which was my parents version of making the world small. Better behavior bigger bubble. As an adult I ended up nearly drinking myself to death and trying to keep peace and connection within the family until I finally realized what was happening. I no longer have a relationship with anyone even though it’s the most important thing in the world to me. My mom basically trashed me to everyone and I refused to accept their ideas that I am the worst and caused everyone’s problems. So no relationship them. My mom told me that since I stopped drinking my behavior has never been worse. She’s fcking crazy.

Then when her son " went off script" and said he has been sleeping on a bean bag for months she laughed nervously! You wont get the privlageeeee of dinner??? True psycho! I hope they throw the book at the parents and that Jodi psycho too!

When I was a "LITTLE" girl!! My mom, was one of them, no privacy moms. But, I was an Epileptic. Epileptics can't be, in water alone. As I got older. I took baths by myself, but my mom would, call me and check on me every few minutes.

I'd never heard of 8 Passengers prior to all of this and now that I'm seeing clips, I'm appalled! This woman was giving abusive parrenting advice to others?! It scares me that countless numbers of people are parenting their children the same way! Ugh. I'm so stunned and disgusted by this woman.

Seems to me the older sister was being the mother to her younger siblings. Brilliant video, eye opening, thanks 👍

Every time I hear that clip about her looking at her child in disgust after she peed herself it’s like a punch to the gut. There really isn’t anything more innocent than a young child and the fact that all of them went through toddlerhood being treated like that and not understanding why is horrific to me. The abuse that’s followed is obviously awful.. but just the thought of 1/2/3/4/5 year olds looking to her for love and care and being met with that and still not understanding… nah. I’m just glad they at least had each other once they realised they weren’t gonna get anything good from their parents.

Have you seen the clip of Russell when he was quite young, forgetting he left his socks outside on the lawn. She told him to "drop" & give her 10 push-ups, like an army sergeant! Horrible.

Thank you for this. It is very triggering, but also helps me understand my childhood with a narcissistic step mother and enabling father.

I picked up on Ruby’s controlling behavior and strict expectations of her extremely young children. She seemed to get pleasure in her punishment of her children. What is missing is a secure, nurturing and loving relationship with any of her children. She sleep deprived them, provided limited, unhealthy food and really liked pointing out faults. I knew she was mentally unstable before she ever got involved with Jodi Hildebrandt. Thanks for explaining. I do believe we need a better system than CPS which failed these kids utterly.

This woman is obsessed with punishing her children. It’s all she ever focused on. It’s her favorite thing. She loves to trap her children into being punished. She is wicked, evil and narcissistic. I sincerely hope she spends a very long time in prison. I hope she loses all parental rights. I hope Jodi Hildebrand also gets a very long sentence.

She does not deserve her children. The mother is a severe mental case. She needs so much help. Her children deserve so much better. So sad.

I don't know why I seem incapable of avoiding Ruby Franke content even though I know how triggering it is to me. Hearing her talk about privacy gave me flashbacks to my parents saying the exact same thing when I was a teenager. Seriously, it was almost word for word. Your content is great, Katie - and I need to quit letting myself be drawn into this situation like a moth to a flame and getting myself triggered every time I see her name.

Thank you for walking us through this. I finally got custody of my child from her dad and stepmom in 2022, and much of what you talk about here is what they were doing to my child. I'm sick to my stomach. I may never know how bad it really was for my child and I'm so glad I was able to get her out. She fears for her step sister.

To me this is a perfect look into the mind of a narcissistic parent. It's clarifying for me, because I've experienced something similar. The things Ruby says are literally the things my parents said to me.
