From what I understand Shari Franke’s sisters were going to be staying with her as a “Kinship placement”, and she went into the house to get items for them. Why she took her parents passports, I don’t know. Maybe she thought her parents might be a flight risk and was going to give the passports to law enforcement? Or maybe she just grabbed things in a hurry not realizing she had taken the passports with everything else.

Kevin is obviously not a person you want children around, but he's right to not take police at their word about the law. Cops get the law wrong all the time, and there are minimal (if any) penalties when they do. If they arrest someone for something they think is a crime, and they're wrong, they still get qualified immunity. If a citizen gets the law wrong, we're told "ignorance of the law is no excuse". Always read the law for yourself, don't take a cop at his word.

I don't know why Kevin is wearing such big shorts when he obviously has no balls.

First off I don’t care if they didn’t have previous records. Neither did Ted bundy. They had starving children tied down in their basement. Secondly I believe LE found videos of what they were doing to the children. They recorded everything in their lives and I believe they are sadistic perverts that would love to watch the abuse over and over
@IngaLeo4
@23:11 what kind of father is THAT?! 🤮
@julianyc422
Sheri went into the home to get the childrens belongings, and all the valuable electronics with a missing Mom, door and Dad.
@julianyc422
Kevin was the one who let a therapist and his wife or ANYONE get between him and his children. Who would agree to not see your own children for 13 months? And if he's brainwashed in a cult, then he needs therapy and only monitored visits with his children until they are 18.
@julianyc422
Ya know something is horribly wrong when the children are asking to not be online in a family that talks non stop about how bad you are and how bad you look in clothes and that you are disappointing God
@julianyc422
Kevin should be upset his children were tortured, and that therapist and his wife did it. Not this his precious castle needs a new door, and the daughter he and his nutjob wife estranged, is now caring for his children. Bet he thought his daughter was distorted and his daughter was teaching the devils work

I know you deserve to make a living, but this is unwatchable with so many commercials.

Jodi's niece Jesse reported that when Jodi was confronted or criticized she would often make herself the victim, claiming illness or becoming ill, which is exactly what she did here when arrested. Several questions I'd like answered that might shed more information about Kevin: for what reasons did Kevin and Ruby seek counseling? It's been reported that they had differences about child rearing, so what were those differences? Since their Mormon bishop or leader recommended Jodi, did Kevin ever talk to that person about his concerns with Jodi's recommendations that he move out from his family? What implications does it have on the Mormon Church for paying for Jodi's therapy, given that she was found guilty of slandering Adam? Did Jodi ever report untruths about Kevin Franke to anyone in the Mormon church (her intimidation tactic to make him do what she wanted)? That might explain his reluctance to disagree with his wife about living separately. What effects will all this have on the Mormon church, given it has already come under fire for its non-action with Chad and Lori case? What did Ruby tell the children about Kevin's absence? Were they begging her to talk to their dad, and why couldn't they? What was Jodi's end game in starving and abusing the children, when there is the very real possibility that they might have died? Has she done this with other children (we know she did with her niece Jesse)? Are the police looking through records of her other clients, or even for bodies? And finally salacious as it may seem, was Jodi having an affair with Ruby, which has been suspected of her with others like Adam implied of his ex-wife? That might indicate Jodi's intent.
@starfishsignal
Kevin Franke was a party to the abuse of his children before he left the house, and then he just left them in those circumstances. I think he should be only allowed supervised visits.
@demonicextinction8826
Jodi got rid of a lot of husband and destroys a lot of marriages using her connections scam. Not saying hes not abusive in his parenting tactics just saying Jodi broke up other marriages and villified other men.
@demonicextinction8826
Kevin: Boo I'm the victim
Rest of the world: No your a coward
@therealz360z7
Imagine them kids trying to attend school knowing everyone knows your parents are cruel and severely abused you and your siblings ?
@therealz360z7
Ask your state representative for coogans law to include reality t.v .
@annettemoolman6504
Only 5 children gets mentioned. An i the only person who missed child no 6?
@selinesbeau
Parents have a responsibility to protect their children, that includes from the other parent if neccessary.
@DimaRakesah
Imagine you haven't seen your kids in a year, you find out two of them were being TORTURED, and after SWAT shows up and your eldest daughter takes some items from the house your number one concern is to TRY TO GET YOUR ELDEST DAUGHTER ARRESTED and then you think you're going to get CUSTODY!??? He is always looking for reasons to PUNISH his children, even when they are in a situation like this and were in danger, he jumps on a chance to punish his eldest daughter. It's also very telling that he LIED about this after getting flack form people, even though it's on body cam footage so it's obvious he did it. I also saw an interview with his lawyer where the guy danced around answering why the front door of the house was broken into as if they didn't know, trying to avoid admitting that the police broke in to try to find the other children, but it seems obvious they would know the police were the ones who did it. Kevin and his lawyer are LYING. And then to be mad about your door being broken down when YOU haven't even seen the kids in over a year and supposedly didn't know they were being tortured? If I found out my kids were in that situation and the police were breaking down doors looking for my other kids who may be in life threatening danger, I would NOT be worried about a stupid door! Go ahead, break in! Find my kids so they will be safe! GAH I AM SO ANGRY WITH THIS HORRIBLE MAN!
@requiredparticular6831
I have zero empathy for someone who goes for marriage over safety of kids. He signed off on Ruby’s treatment of the children before Jody. He signed off on Jody.
@whyamiheredlb
Very late replay crew… but glad to see the general public, the Law Nerds, along with law enforcement being the voice for ALL of these children. They have been waiting for help for a very long time it seems. 🦋🌻❤️
@nancaraway8413
I’m going to say the husband as well as all the whole family knew what was happening with all of the kids. I think hopefully more charges will happen
Please keep us all informed
@kristyward7831
My thing is what is he so afraid of her taking all that stuff? What is he trying to hide?
@AdvancedCommonSense
I think he might be only concerned about what was copied from this journals, that might be used as evidence against his wife and him.
@DayLight-ws6ox
The abuse didn't start 13 months ago. The abuse was there for as long as that channel was up. Kevin was present for the 8 or so years of that, actively participating in these 'punishments' at worst or simple placidly permitting them at best. Kevin should absolutely not get access to those kids.
@margaretbenavidezmellett7706
Hello, I respect what you do. We need to know the way the law works. Guessing doesn't help it's best to be informed. The kids are resilient, they will survive. Bless them.
@GailB0707
47:50 Sheri was able to get those things because she was permitted by the police to get some items for her sisters that were taken from Pam's house. Her sisters are in her care or they will be with the state.

CALLING ALL LAW NERDS 📣
Please check out the former bachelor Clayton Echard vs Jane Doe case, it’s absolutely wild 🤯😳🤯
@rebekahcopeland500
Unreal – a person who is possibly facing c.a. charges is so focussed on someone else being charged. Hasn't he got enough problems of his own requiring immediate correction?
@crazybunnigaming93
Him saying “he will have to research that” just proves to me he doesn’t give two shits about his kids or their well being.
