How incredibly sad.

When asked what condition the other two children were in (a 10 yo and a 14yo) the boy said they were fine. And then he said what happened to him was his fault.

The emotional abuse is immense.

He said that Jodi was at the house and he didn't know where his mom was. Maybe Ruby had left the house with the 14yo and the boy didn't know that.

It's possible, if RF were restrained in a room, that he didn't know who was in the house that day. ??

Maybe the two older sisters were at one time in the house, but he didn't know they left?

I remain confused about who was where. It will eventually straighten out.

I think you are right. We've heard that Jodi and Ruby are very insistent that young R (12) NOT be allowed to be around other children. I assume that other children also includes his siblings. :( :( Poor kiddo must have felt so alone, isolated, and being told HE was the problem. How horrible for him.

My sense is that Jodi is an opportunist and man hater. I think, she thinks, all men are lustful creatures and that is at the root of their "distortion". I suspect Jodi is quite charismatic and Ruby's online following coupled with her narcissism made her an attractive person to partner up with for Jodi's ConneXions podcast. I think Jodi did as Jodi has allegedly done in the past. Drove a big ole wedge of distortion between Kevin and Ruby so that Ruby, in her narcissism, thought Jodi was her sympatico soul mate. The perfect storm of sick twisted women who like to psychologically torture those weaker than themselves.

Seeming to pin the blame for her behavior on her children, Franke went into horrific detail about how one of her six kids abused other children.

She claimed that one of the Franke kids began looking at p[redacted/censor]ography at just three-years old.

In one of the most shocking claims, Franke said said that her child had been sexually abusing a younger sibling for years, adding that eventually the two of them began to abuse other children.

She also claimed her two children played a 'patting' game with each other, but did not go into further detail.

Franke said that in May her child confessed to sexually abusing 20 people, including cousins and neighbors.

She provided no proof of her sickening allegations.

The court went eerily silent after Ruby made the disturbing claims.

The judge then said that her alleged abusive child 'will then need to be placed in a home with no other children.'

YouTuber mom Ruby Franke accuses her children of abuse

I knew it. lustful. dangerous. male. I truly hate these women for what they have force fed this poor kid. It will take him years of counseling to get past this. I wish the judge had asked little Ms. Ruby who was responsible for supervising a toddlers access to inappropriate sexually explicit images. This is total bull and it is evident to any right thinking person in the world. The fact that this witch would double down on her crimes and try to blame shift to the very child she was actively abusing is thoroughly disgusting.

Sad thing is, I think she's been so brainwashed and manipulated by Jodi she may actually believe the garbage that falls from her own mouth.

I am incensed.

ETA this post took me literally 20 minutes because I kept having to erase and reform sentences that would pass the censors. The language I want to use would get me a lifetime ban.

I wonder how long food, water, and simple human contact had to be withheld before his "alleged" confession?

I'm going afk for few because I am so very angry.

I had basically the same chunk of text on my clipboard to paste in (before I saw your post), and I had intended on a similar sign off ("that's enough internet for me for now!").

But yeah. Super gross.

I've seen some of Jodi's niece's allegations in the past week and it is why I should have expected what Ruby popped off with in the custody hearing and yet a part of me couldn't believe that she could actually be so foul.
 
  • #251
I'm furious.
Notice how she shifted the narrative?

In a court where she is faced with her own wrongdoings of starving her children and restraining her children with duct tape/rope, this mother places the blame on an injured child.

Master manipulator. Evil, imo.

Furious - yes, I'm right with you.

What did Jodi's niece allege? I missed it!

EDITED: Never mind! I see the link above. I'm scrolling too fast. :)

Agreed. Every single word.

They played mind games with those kids. I don’t believe for one second they did those things. I do believe they fabricated and played mind games and probably made the kids believe they did something so bad but do the kids even really truly get it?

I cannot wrap my brain around this.

Outrageous claims.

If a 3 year old is watching 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬, thats child abuse. If there were any truth in her claims you deal with it the right way, not by duct taping and starving them.

The videocast above with Jodi’s niece is heart-rending. They talk about how they trusted their parents and the Church (Jodi was recommended as a counselor by LDS bishops), so they internalized the abuse and often believed they were “evil” and needed to be saved.

The emotional abuse is real, long-lasting and traumatic.

I hope the children are placed in a loving an accepting environment. I’m side-eyeing whether the father can provide that with limited info. My opinion only.

I am watching it now. It's worth watching - and there are chapters that make it easy to skip around to sections more pertinent to this case.

JH is troubled, imo, to put it mildly.

Just FF thru what the host says.

Unbelievable!

And to further traumatize her child, he can't be with other children now. This is so utterly awful.

I really encourage everyone to listen to the podcast with Jodi's niece. It is long but so worth it.

I can very well see Jodi proclaiming this utter nonsense about the Franke child as fact (like her dream that the niece had abortions which thus made it a fact and then the sin had to be physically forced from her even though not true ... and they even said they would confess to things to make it stop). And how she was so convincing to others in the ward, such as the cited victim's mother whose attorney was in court. I hate to ever be skeptical of any victim's account but I have to wonder if this alleged victim's family was in the Connexions cult.

I'm still not over the 911 call (emotional gut-punch), and now this "revelation" from Ruby in court? My head is spinning.
