    I appreciate your patience. This one took a long time to deep dive and a long time to edit as there was new information up until this morning that I wanted to include.

    My heart is broken for these children. The scars they left on their children will last a lifetime! My ex brother in law took a Christmas away from one of my nephew's while the two other siblings got Christmas…he also took one of the only family vacations they had away.They left him with his family to work with them. Wasnt alowed anything fun. He was maybe 10😢 My sister tried to change his mind but she had no control. That's a whole different story. Anyway the two siblings have grown up to have stable and pretty healthy lifestyles. Unfortunately the one who was picked on is now fighting addiction and a whole lot of mental health issues. It made a huge impact on him. He has no confidence in himself. He has no faith that life can ever get better. He is now homeless and just not okay. The point of me sharing this is so maybe someone who thinks these punishments are okay will see the lifelong hurt thats left with them. Yes my nephew has made many many bad decisions… But i whole heartily believe the treatment he got from his dad caused a lot of damage that led him down this path. Children need love. I just hope someone takes something from this and a child is saved from the same torment.

    Living in Utah, it's no question. White Mormon based families who have money get the benefit of doubt and special treatment.

  • @deniseadkins2901

    Jodi Hildebrandt has a daughter as well.

    "Do you think that was funny?" (Disney prank) says the woman who took Christmas away from her youngest children.

    We've been going through a little bit of an issue with my 8-year-old son not wanting to eat. He only wants to eat certain things and it's usually junk. And we have to be kind of strict with him to make sure that he's getting the proper nutrition. And he is hungry sporadically throughout the day because he doesn't eat at certain times. And yes it does get frustrating. One night we went to lay down that he said I'm hungry and I said well buddy it's midnight. We'll get something in the morning. And about 5 minutes later I heard his stomach growl. I absolutely was not going to bed that night and that child's stomach empty. I would have cooked him a steak dinner at midnight if it's what he would have wanted. I said buddy. What do you want to eat? Let's go get it. And I say that just to say I feel like I'm normal. The fact that this woman was told that her child forgot her lunch and the school wanted her to bring her something to eat and she decides to go post a video about it and talk about how it's her responsibility to make her own lunch and hopefully no one gives her anything to eat because she needs to learn the lesson lets me know everything I need to know about this woman. I hope she gets the absolute maximum penalty

  • @chrissy3735

    What’s wild to me is that the “followers” of these characters think that they know them! People need to realize social media is not real there’s been so many that have went from “influencer” to abuser and even killers

  • @christenenienaber7939

  • @shawnadee7744

    That was one of my first thoughts, too, after learning more about the case: Why does LDS seem to be a springboard for these horrible child @bus€😢 cases that continually pop up ?!?!

  • @carolsuegedling9941

    I’m 75. I had 1 brother and 6 sisters. We all had jobs. Every weekend ,scrubbed everything in the bathroom. The living room and dinning room wood floors has to be scrubbed and then waxed. Then both room were dusted. Next the kitchen scrub the cabinets scrub the floor scrubbed and waxed. These were jobs for Saturday. During the week we had a job to do everyday. Set the table bring the food to the table, pour milk into the glasses.Dinner over clean the dishes take d Iito sink to be washed. The dishes after washed could sit for a bit then dried and put back in the cabinet. We had wash day and hung clothes out side on the clothes line .When clothes were dried, separated , then everyone picked up their pile of clothes and took them to their room. After having my own children I wasn’t going to raise my children in this way . But but I did change my mind and took up raising my own children in the way I was raised. I feel it is our home and all that love together should all join in helping to keep our home clean… I love the way I was raised and am really glad I became a hard worker and a good mother.

  • @rjtruth1779

    I was raised mormon and my mother had the same philosophy about privacy. Although we never had our doors removed we were not allowed to lock our doors and had to leave our doors open when we had friends over. Especially me after i came out as gay at 16 and revealed one of my friends was actually my girlfriend. I had to hand over my phone and my mother read all our texts and messages on facebook and other forms of communication. We were not permitted to see each other, i was pulled out of all my extra curricular activities which included theater, speech & debate, philosophy club, and art club and was only allowed to go to school and church and i was cut off from talking to my friends because even when i had my phone returned to me it would be randomly confiscated and if anything was deleted i would get in trouble. I had to hand over my passwords to social media accounts for my mom to access, i wasnt allowed to drive and we lived about 15 minutes out of town. Even at school i had to be careful of what i said or how i acted because my mom would find out everything. She even snooped through my private journals. All of this isolated me and made me paranoid and i had no safe space. I had to beg to be allowed to do theater again or go on field trips for my classes. I was also called prideful and selfish and told i needed to learn humility and repent. All during this time i fought with my parents and received countless lectures about how unnatural and sinful i was. This all being said i certainly didnt have it as bad as these kids and this mother took it to the next level of cruel by filming all this and promoting cruel and unusual punishments.

  • @heleneminger

    In Scientology they use the term subversive similar to this use of distortion in this wierd cult you are covering. I had no idea who Ruby Franke was but she kept showing up on my YT feed so I thought I'd check it out

  • @chaos9495

    WHOA… Putting out the flames, OMG I never heard that that is horrific!

  • @nicholascassidy-fougere8051

    The amount of delusional ideation that she’s experiencing makes me question her confidence and mental state

  • @Nnaiiro

    why do you censor "child a….e"? genuinely curious

  • @thyseer

    the absolute level of narcissism and abuse these parents have is insane. if i saw this on YouTube i would call CPS in their state.

  • @zuluexmachina2191

    I'd never heard of eifher one of these women, but they sound like a pair of freaks and con artists. 😂

  • @zuluexmachina2191

    Frankly, I found The Disney Prank absolutely hysterical. 😅😅 Sounds like something one of my brothers would have pulled.

  • @dodidodi9632

    after you knew about what Ruby and Jodi did, you find a way to blame the father like we don't know how women can be, especially if they are powerful.

  • @The-Gojira-Kaiju-Kid

  • @lynnc5252

    Her absolute glee about sending her child to an unregulated wilderness camp.
    Grotesque behavior.

  • @user-dn2dr8px3d

    I may feel differently than other people, but what exactly makes you different from what what Jody did you’re explaining her children too or they wouldn’t be on this channel how do you think you to work?

  • @kristinahingst4543

    She infuriates me. I can’t watch this anymore.

  • @psychicrenegade

    If Kevin just walked away from his SIX kids, and hadn't seen or spoken to them in over a year…isn't that abandonment?!?!?

  • @psychicrenegade

    How the HELL was none of this "parenting" determined to be ABUSE when they were investigated…several times…by child protective services?!? My kids are spoiled, they've never been forced to do exercises, we've never so much as taken their devices away for more than an hour to get them to complete their chores. They are healthy, well-fed, see the doctor and dentist regularly, they all have their own rooms, we have family movie nights, they see their friends all the time…and yet my husband and I are being investigated by DHS in Idaho…simply because our youngest child is severely autistic and we choose to homeschool him instead of forcing him to be miserable in a public school setting.
    Yes, seriously…that's it…that's all.

    And yet…people who are actively recording themselves abusing and torturing their children…are allowed to do so with no consequences whatsoever…until it gets to the point that one child was only 24-48 hours away from DEATH. 😡🤬😡

  • @kathdonbetnan761

    What a twisted. deranged. and horrible "mother".

  • @jamesgardner1825

    It is always amazing to hear from a woman’s perspective how if the female is evil it’s the man’s fault too because he should step up and do something, but if the man is evil, you will never hear anything but excuses for the female such as they were under his control or scared or manipulated, etc. the bias from these women true crime channels is absolutely ridiculous sometimes

  • @user-rc6he8kc3n

    The really funny thing is that the LDS church believes that women cannot "teach" men.

  • @rosemclean2519

    I am "unconfortable" with ANYONE at ANY AGE being hungry for ANY AMOUNT OF TIME and for ANY reason…. And I am not a teacher… WTF???. Being hungry is NOT natural nor a "natural consequence".. Food is NOT a privilegie, is a NEED!.

  • @BettyCFiguera

    That is not a good way to get money! Exposing your family life almost 24/7 is not healthy in any way!
