250605PC: Zwischen Rechtsbruch und WahlversprechenMensch Mahler am 5.6.2025 Dass Friedrich Merz im Zweifel Tabus bricht, hat er schon vor seiner Kanzlerschaft bewiesen. Am 19. Januar ging es um die Zustimmung der AfD zu einem Gesetzesentwurf in Sachen Asylpolitik. Jetzt scheut Merz mit seinem Innenminister Dobrindt nicht davor zurück, eine Gerichtsentscheidung zu ignorieren, in der es – welch Zufall – um die Zurückweisung von Schutzsuchenden an deutschen Grenzen geht. Die CDU/CSU steckt in einem Dilemma. Mit der härteren Gangart in Sachen Asyl haben sie im Wahlkampf versucht, Stimmen vom rechten Rand abzufischen. Jetzt müssen sie liefern, um die Wählerschaft zufriedenzustellen. Blöd ist nur, dass die Gesetzeslage die Zurückweisungen an deutschen Grenzen nicht hergibt.Merz und seine CSU-Kollegen Dobrindt und Söder begründen die harte Gangart mit einer nationalen Notlage. Töne, mit denen Donald Trump in den USA auch jede Menge Unsinn gemacht haben. Fakt ist, dass die Zuwanderung im letzten Jahr auf einem neuen Tiefstand war. Markus Lanz lies nicht locker, als Söder bei ihm in der Talkrunde saß: Worin der nationale Notstand denn bestehe, wollte der Talkmaster wissen. Darin, dass andere europäische Länder sich nicht an Dublin halten, meinte der Franke. Das heißt also, weil andere sich nicht an geltendes Recht halten, müssen wir das auch nicht tun? so Lanz weiter. Und dann der übliche Eiertanz Söders.Das wird insgesamt eine schwierige Nummer. Mit dem Koalitionspartner SPD sind die radikalen Vorschläge, die die Union in Sachen Migration im Wahlkampf versprochen hat, nicht zu realisieren. Und die Brandmauer zur AfD, die für solche Sachen natürlich zu haben wäre, abermals einzureißen – das wäre nicht nur das Aus für die kleine GroKo, sondern auch für Kanzler Merz. Der kann sich heute in den USA bei Donald Trump ja noch ein paar Tipps abholen, wie man nationalen Notstand begründet. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Franke, Thomas

Die Themen im heutigen Versicherungsfunk Update sind: Privathaftpflicht 2025: Top-Schutz legt zu – aber Schwächen bleiben Im aktuellen PHV-Rating 2025 vergibt Franke und Bornberg an 16 % der Familientarife und 15 % der Singletarife die Bestnote FFF+ („hervorragend“). Neue Kriterien wie Best-Leistungsgarantie oder Besitzstandsgarantie setzen höhere Maßstäbe. Doch viele Basistarife lassen wichtige Leistungen vermissen – etwa bei Nebenjobs, Pflege oder deliktunfähigen Kindern. „Geiz lohnt sich nicht in der PHV“, warnt Michael Franke. Antrag auf Cyberpolice wird häufiger abgelehnt Laut dem aktuellen Cyber-Monitor 2025 steigt die Zahl abgelehnter Anträge auf gewerbliche Cyberversicherungen auf 31 %. Hiscox und Markel bleiben Marktführer, HDI und Allianz holen auf. Ein Drittel der Makler spürt negative Folgen durch die Insolvenzen von Element und Cogitanda. „Der Cybermarkt ist riesig – genauso wie die Hoffnung in den Vertrieb“, so Studienleiter Stephan Schinnenburg. HDI-Studie: Baufinanzierer blenden Absicherungsrisiken häufig aus Laut einer HDI Bancassurance-Studie in Kooperation mit YouGov haben viele Baufinanzierungskunden große Wissenslücken bei der Absicherung existenzieller Risiken. Nur 17 % nennen Arbeitslosigkeit als Risiko, Arbeitsunfähigkeit und Tod werden kaum bedacht. „Unangenehmes wird oft ausgeblendet“, sagt HDI-Vorstand Matthias Weber. Persönliche Beratung erhöht die Abschlusschancen deutlich – etwa zwei Drittel sichern sich bei entsprechendem Angebot gegen Todesfall ab. ARAG wächst stark Die ARAG Gruppe hat 2024 die Beitragseinnahmen um 17,5 % auf 2,8 Mrd. EUR gesteigert. Das Ergebnis der normalen Geschäftstätigkeit erreichte mit 141 Mio. EUR eine historische Bestmarke. Das versicherungstechnische Ergebnis sank dagegen auf 96 Mio. EUR, unter anderem wegen gestiegener Schadenaufwendungen. Besonders stark wuchsen Rechtsschutz (+17 %) und Krankenversicherung (+17 %), getrieben von organischem Wachstum und der Integration der ehemaligen DAS UK. R+V: Hagelschäden 2024 summieren sich auf 97 Mio. EUR Hagelunwetter sorgten 2024 bei R+V-Versicherten für Schäden in Höhe von rund 97 Mio. EUR. Besonders betroffen war Süddeutschland – das Tief Frieda hinterließ im Juli eine Spur der Verwüstung. Der Großteil der Schäden (56 Mio. EUR) entfiel auf Kfz. „Auf einen Schlag tausende Schäden – das ist typisch Hagel“, so Martin Meier vom R+V-Schadenmanagement. ETF-Markt im April: Anleger setzen auf Aktien und Kurzläufer Trotz Marktvolatilität investierten Anleger im April 19,6 Mrd. $ in europäische ETFs. Besonders gefragt waren Aktien-ETFs (Nettozuflüsse: 16,8 Mrd. $) sowie Anleihe-ETFs mit kurzer Laufzeit (3,7 Mrd. $). Dagegen verzeichneten US-Aktien-ETFs erneut Abflüsse (–1,8 Mrd. $). Das zeigt der aktuelle ETF-Marktbericht von Vanguard.

uby Franke rose to online fame as the matriarch of 8 Passengers, a YouTube family vlog that gained millions of views for its portrayal of traditional parenting and everyday life. But behind the scenes, a much darker reality was unfolding, one that came to light in 2023 when her 12 year old son escaped from a home in southern Utah, showing clear signs of abuse. The disturbing case led to Franke's arrest, alongside her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt, and exposed a deeply troubling pattern of control, punishment, and exploitation. What began as wholesome family content ended in a criminal investigation that shocked the country.

*Warning: There are brief descriptions of child abuse in this episode. Listener discretion is advised. As Shari Franke watched the police break into her family's home on August 30, 2023, her Instagram post simply read, “Finally.” In Part 3 we finish our series on Ruby Franke, the Utah mother of 6 who somehow moved from beloved family YouTube vlogger to convicted child abuser.  What happened when Shari and neighbors called child welfare services to report concerns? How did the youngest Franke boy escape from Jodi's home, and why do authorities believe his action saved both his and his sister's life? What incriminating evidence was found in Ruby's diary? How has Shari advocated for increased protection for the children of content creators? And where are Kevin and the 6 Franke kids now? We discuss all this and more in this fascinating final episode.  Find (and subscribe to!) the show on your favorite podcast app or the Scandal Water Podcast Youtube channel. MID-ROLL: For May's minisode, we will dive into more mayhem as we delve into Ruby's diary. Using the Guilty Words Youtube channel we mentioned in our series as our source, we will analyze and discuss a portion of Ruby's own words that helped lead to her conviction.  To listen, see “How to support SW” below!  Music: "Final Step" purchased at www.FreePD.com How to support Scandal Water: Rate, review and subscribe!

It was the 911 call heard around the world. Through countless media releases, we all listened as a man in Utah tearfully described the wounds on the young boy who had shown up at his door asking to be taken to the police… a young boy who, we soon learned, had been horrifically abused by his own mother and her business partner.  For many of us, this was our introduction to the shocking and sad story of Ruby Franke, the subject of this 3-part series.  In this Part 1 we discuss Ruby's progression from devout Mormon wife and mother of six, to ‘America's Mom,' a beloved YouTube family vlogger with more than 2.5 million followers. But what concerns did some of Ruby's family members have about her parenting even before she became a YouTube star? How did Ruby's faith inspire her to become a content creator? What changes occurred in the Franke children's lives after they became ‘employees' for 8 Passengers, Ruby's channel? And what happened when the kids started to rebel against the constant filming… son Chad, in particular? Don't miss the first episode in this 3-part series.

Ruby Franke's friend called Jodi Hildebrandt a guru… Ruby's daughter Shari called her “our family's very own cult leader.” In Part 2, we continue our 3-part series on the Ruby Franke case, sharing what happened after Ruby and Kevin sought help for their son Chad's behavior.  How did it impact the family when therapist and life coach Jodi Hildebrandt entered their lives? What incident caused most of Ruby's 2.5 million YouTube followers to turn against her? How did Jodi come to move into the Franke home? Why was daughter Shari disowned? And what circumstances led Kevin and Chad to both be “invited” to move out on the same day?

In this week's episode, the Lautners are joined by Chad Franke for a conversation about growing up on YouTube as part of the massively followed family channel 8 Passengers, created by his mom, Ruby Franke. Chad opens up about the early days of vlogging, when the channel began to take off, and what it was like having his childhood shared with millions. He reflects on how personal struggles were often turned into content, and how the shift from casually being on camera to having moments staged for engagement began to affect him. Chad talks about the #FreeChad movement, sparked by concerns over his living situation, and what it was like watching the Hulu docuseries Devil in the Family for the first time. He also shares about the last time he spoke to his mom, the letters she's sent, his relationship with religion and God, and the gradual realization that what was happening wasn't okay.

Today's episode is a true story.My guest, Franke James, is an advocate for people with disabilities.Her passion came from caring for her sister Teresa who has Down Syndrome, and the struggles they faced together for Teresa's rights to be heard for her own life.Franke's Book, Freeing Teresa: A True Story about My Sister and Me, is about choosing her sister's freedom over her family. Franke helped her younger sister with Down syndrome get out of a nursing home.  And then the battle erupted.  The two sisters had to stand together—against their siblings, the medical system, and the police—to defend the right to be free. Midwest Book Review said, "The result is more than a memoir: it's a testimony to how ‘tickets to freedom' are gained through fighting and love."  The memoir has won thirty-two book awards.My conversation with Franke was fantastic!! Connect with Franke:Where to buy the book: https://freeingteresa.com/buy-the-book/Listen to the audiobook: https://freeingteresa.com/listen/Website https://freeingteresa.comInstagram https://www.instagram.com/franke.james/LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/frankejames/Mastodon https://mastodon.online/@frankejamesBluesky https://bsky.app/profile/frankejames.bsky.social CONNECT WITH DEBIDo you feel stuck?  Do you sense its time for a change but unsure where to start or how to move forward?  Schedule a clarity call!Free Clarity Call: https://calendly.com/debironca/free-clarity-callWebsite – https://www.debironca.comInstagram - @debironcaEmail – info@debironca.comCheck out my online course!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Your Story's Changing, finding Purpose in Life's Transitionshttps://course.sequoiatransitioncoaching.com/8-week-programThe Family Letter by Debi Ronca – International Best Sellerhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B07SSJFXBD

In this week's episode, Lo is joined by none other than the talented Hayley Orrantia—actress, singer, and fellow true crime junkie—as they dive deep into the haunting world of The Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke. If you've been following the shocking case of Ruby Franke, the disgraced mommy vlogger who pleaded guilty to child abuse, this three-part Hulu documentary offers chilling new insights that go far beyond the headlines. Together, Lo and Hayley unpack the disturbing details of Franke's life, which included her cruel and manipulative behavior on camera and behind closed doors. Through interviews with Franke's two oldest children and unreleased footage, we see the dark side of a family that once appeared to be picture-perfect online. But Devil isn't just another tabloid story—it's a careful, poignant exploration of control, faith, and the blurred lines between performance and reality in the world of YouTube fame. Lo and Hayley reflect on their own childhoods and examine the complex issues at play, including the role of organized religion and cult-like behavior in shaping the Franke family's tragic downfall. They ask the tough questions: How much of this was really about faith? And where do we draw the line between fame and exploitation? With its jaw-dropping moments and raw, unreleased footage, The Devil in the Family is far more than just a crime documentary. It's a deep dive into the psychological toll of living a life for the camera and the dangerous consequences of fame in the digital age. But, is this documentary Lo Life approved? Tune in to find out!

8 Passengers Fallout: Divorce Finalized as Ruby Franke Serves Prison Time The story of Ruby Franke officially closed a major chapter this week as a Utah judge signed off on her divorce from Kevin Franke—marking the legal end to a marriage that once played out in front of millions on YouTube, before unraveling in one of the most disturbing child abuse cases the state has seen in years. It's now on paper: the marriage that began in 2000, spanned six children, and was broadcast through a curated lens on the “8 Passengers” channel, is over. But the real story isn't the divorce. It's the fact that Kevin Franke is now the sole legal guardian of their four remaining minor children—kids who were, until recently, trapped in an abusive nightmare behind the closed doors of a so-called parenting enterprise. Let's rewind to how we got here. In August 2023, the illusion broke. One of the youngest Franke children—emaciated, injured, and desperate—escaped out of a window from the home of Jodi Hildebrandt in Ivins, Utah. That home wasn't a safehouse. It was a crime scene. The boy went to a neighbor's house asking for food and water, and what they saw led them to call police immediately. Authorities later found his sister in similar condition. The two women at the center—Ruby Franke and her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt—were arrested and eventually admitted to four counts each of aggravated child abuse, a second-degree felony. According to Washington County Attorney Eric Clarke, the kids had been kept in conditions he described as “concentration camp-like.” We're talking about extreme malnutrition, physical injuries, emotional torment—the works. Ruby Franke is now serving at least four years in Utah State Prison, with four consecutive sentences of one to fifteen years each. She's admitted to a range of abuses, including physically torturing her son, dunking his head underwater, forcing him into strenuous physical tasks, and making both children stand in direct sunlight for long periods without food or water. This wasn't “tough love.” It was cruelty, systemized and delivered under the pretense of discipline. Meanwhile, the divorce paperwork went through the usual formalities. Filed under “irreconcilable differences”—which feels like calling a wildfire a small campfire. Kevin Franke submitted the signed stipulation in early March, and by March 20th, Judge Roger Griffin finalized the divorce decree. Under the agreement, Kevin walks away with full custody, their Springville home, and a 2.8-acre property in Scofield. Ruby gets to keep $85,000 she withdrew before they split, but the rest of the couple's joint financial accounts go to Kevin, with the exception of an investment account in her name. Kevin also agreed not to pursue child support from Ruby, effectively considering anything owed already paid. It's a move that might say more about his priorities—focused on healing the kids rather than fighting over dollars. Neither side asked for alimony. Apparently, they both have what they need to move on—at least financially. What's more, despite everything, Ruby Franke has chosen to keep the last name “Franke.” Whether that's a legal convenience or something deeper is anyone's guess, but it's a curious choice given the devastation tied to that name now. Both Ruby and Jodi Hildebrandt accepted plea deals that cut their total charges from six to four. But make no mistake—the weight of what they admitted to remains enormous. They each face up to 60 years behind bars, though with Utah's system, they'll be eligible for parole after four. At her sentencing, Ruby addressed her children, thanking the police for “saving them”—and, she said, saving her. She claimed that being handcuffed was the beginning of her freedom, describing herself as so twisted by manipulation that she believed “dark was light and right was wrong.” It's a haunting statement, especially when you consider the cost it came with. In the end, the legal lines are drawn. Kevin Franke has custody. Ruby Franke has convictions. And six children are now trying to rebuild a childhood that was shattered under the watchful eye of a camera and the hidden weight of abuse. #8PassengersCase #RubyFranke #ChildAbuseSentencing #FrankeDivorceFinalized Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Kevin Franke A Victim or an Enabler? FBI Expert Breaks It Down Was Kevin Franke just another victim in Ruby Franke's twisted world, or was he an enabler quietly standing by as the unthinkable happened? Hulu's Devil in the Family has reignited the debate, shifting the spotlight onto Kevin—her husband, the father of their children, and the man who claims he was left in the dark. But how does his body language, his words, and his behavior hold up under the scrutiny of a behavioral expert? Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke dives into the psychology behind Kevin Franke, Ruby Franke, and the disturbing dynamics that fueled this nightmare. Was Kevin merely manipulated, or was he complicit in his own passivity? And what role did Jodi Hildebrandt play in pushing an already dangerous ideology even further? With deep analysis of the LDS faith's influence, the power of manipulation, and the eerie similarities to past criminal cases, this episode unpacks the unsettling reality behind the Franke family scandal. So, was Kevin Franke just a tool in Ruby's grand design, or is there more to the story than meets the eye? #RubyFranke #KevinFranke #TrueCrime #HiddenKillers #LDS #Manipulation #FBIAnalysis Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Convicted YouTuber Ruby Franke Left Journal Detailing Abuse of Her ‘Demonic' Children Before Ruby Franke, the infamous YouTube mom behind the "8Passengers" channel, pleaded guilty to child abuse charges, authorities uncovered something chilling—a handwritten journal detailing the suffering she inflicted on her own children. In it, she described acts of cruelty with a detachment that made even seasoned investigators pause. As revealed in Hulu's new docuseries Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke, a police investigator reads from the journal, bringing Franke's own words into the open. One entry is particularly disturbing: "Sleep outside, shaved her head, doused her with water, over his nose and mouth, head in the toilet, needs to be painful. Blood on his face, scream and scream." Another entry is no less horrifying: "I told the boy, he emulates a snake. If he wants to emulate the Savior, he needs to be a hundred percent obedient with exactness. The body must engage in good work and the good works need to be painful. I have the power of God and he must obey." The extent of the abuse detailed in these pages is staggering. In one passage, Franke wrote about forcing her son into the sun, then returning with a "cactus poker" to prod him. She recorded her own twisted logic: "When I poke his back to get in the sun, he doesn't even flinch. I told him, give your demon friend a message for me. I will not rest. I will not stop. I will not leave. I will fight him until the day you die." These weren't the ramblings of someone suffering a temporary lapse in judgment. They were calculated. Premeditated. Written down as if she was keeping a ledger of pain. In August 2023, it all came to an end when Franke's 12-year-old son escaped from the home she shared with her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt. Starving, injured, and desperate, he ran to a neighbor and pleaded for help. The neighbor, moved to tears by the boy's skeletal appearance, called 911. Soon after, authorities discovered his 9-year-old sister inside Hildebrandt's home in an equally horrific condition. Franke and her husband, Kevin, had gained a massive following through "8Passengers," where their brand of strict, authoritarian parenting was often defended as tough love. Their content, which amassed over 2 million subscribers, frequently walked the fine line between discipline and outright cruelty. YouTube ultimately shut down the channel after Franke's arrest. Kevin Franke was not charged in connection with the abuse. Jodi Hildebrandt, Franke's business partner and a former therapist, only made things worse. The founder of the so-called "ConneXions" program, a religious-based self-help movement, Hildebrandt reportedly encouraged extreme parenting methods, preying on vulnerabilities within the Mormon community. According to a therapist featured in the docuseries, Hildebrandt "was excellent at exploiting Mormon anxiety." Her influence, combined with Franke's already dangerous beliefs, created a toxic and violent environment for the children trapped in their care. Both Franke and Hildebrandt pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse. Their sentences—ranging from four to 30 years—will be decided by the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole. At her sentencing, Franke broke down in tears, addressing her children directly. "I will never stop crying for hurting your tender souls," she said. But the damage was already done.

One entry is particularly disturbing: "Sleep outside, shaved her head, doused her with water, over his nose and mouth, head in the toilet, needs to be painful. Blood on his face, scream and scream." Another entry is no less horrifying: "I told the boy, he emulates a snake. If he wants to emulate the Savior, he needs to be a hundred percent obedient with exactness. The body must engage in good work and the good works need to be painful. I have the power of God and he must obey." The extent of the abuse detailed in these pages is staggering. In one passage, Franke wrote about forcing her son into the sun, then returning with a "cactus poker" to prod him. She recorded her own twisted logic: "When I poke his back to get in the sun, he doesn't even flinch. I told him, give your demon friend a message for me. I will not rest. I will not stop. I will not leave. I will fight him until the day you die." These weren't the ramblings of someone suffering a temporary lapse in judgment. They were calculated. Premeditated. Written down as if she was keeping a ledger of pain. In August 2023, it all came to an end when Franke's 12-year-old son escaped from the home she shared with her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt. Starving, injured, and desperate, he ran to a neighbor and pleaded for help. The neighbor, moved to tears by the boy's skeletal appearance, called 911. Soon after, authorities discovered his 9-year-old sister inside Hildebrandt's home in an equally horrific condition. Franke and her husband, Kevin, had gained a massive following through "8Passengers," where their brand of strict, authoritarian parenting was often defended as tough love. Their content, which amassed over 2 million subscribers, frequently walked the fine line between discipline and outright cruelty. YouTube ultimately shut down the channel after Franke's arrest. Kevin Franke was not charged in connection with the abuse. Jodi Hildebrandt, Franke's business partner and a former therapist, only made things worse. The founder of the so-called "ConneXions" program, a religious-based self-help movement, Hildebrandt reportedly encouraged extreme parenting methods, preying on vulnerabilities within the Mormon community. According to a therapist featured in the docuseries, Hildebrandt "was excellent at exploiting Mormon anxiety." Her influence, combined with Franke's already dangerous beliefs, created a toxic and violent environment for the children trapped in their care. Both Franke and Hildebrandt pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse. Their sentences—ranging from four to 30 years—will be decided by the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole. At her sentencing, Franke broke down in tears, addressing her children directly. "I will never stop crying for hurting your tender souls," she said. But the damage was already done.

Kevin Franke Seems To Think The 'Internet' Is The Main Thing To Blame For His Wife's Behavior What kind of person looks at their own children suffering and blames… YouTube? Kevin Franke seems to think the real villain here is family vlogging, not the alleged abuse that unfolded right under his nose. Sure, exploiting kids for clicks is bad, but is it really the root of the problem, or just a convenient scapegoat? Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dive into the tangled mess of belief systems, cult-like influences, and straight-up denial that kept Franke blind to what was happening in his own home. As he now seeks custody of his children—and still professes love for Ruby Franke—can he truly separate himself from the toxic dynamics that led to this nightmare? Or is he just one bad influence away from repeating history? #KevinFranke #RubyFranke #TrueCrime #FamilyVlogging #ChildAbuse #HiddenKillers #Psychology Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Kevin Franke Speaks Out on Ex-Wife Ruby Franke's Crimes: ‘I Have Regrets' Kevin Franke, the estranged husband of disgraced parenting influencer Ruby Franke, is breaking his silence following her conviction for child abuse. In a new interview, he admitted that he trusted his wife and her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, despite mounting concerns about their extreme parenting methods. “The bottom line is: I was choosing to trust a licensed professional mental health counselor and my wife, and they gave some terrible counsel,” Franke told Good Morning America. “And I have regrets. And I wish I hadn't done those things.” Ruby Franke, 43, was once a celebrated mommy blogger with over 2.5 million subscribers on her YouTube channel, 8Passengers. Alongside Hildebrandt, she later founded ConneXions Classrooms, a parenting and lifestyle brand that offered paid counseling sessions and retreats. What was once a lucrative online business ultimately unraveled into a criminal case when authorities discovered two of Franke's children malnourished and restrained in Hildebrandt's home. The case shocked audiences familiar with Franke's strict parenting style, which had already raised red flags. In one of her earlier 8Passengers videos, her eldest son Chad casually revealed that he had been forced to sleep on a beanbag for seven months as punishment. After losing sponsors and facing backlash, Franke shifted to working with Hildebrandt, who encouraged even harsher parenting methods. In one resurfaced video from ConneXions Classrooms, Franke told parents, “If your child comes to you on fire, you don't pat them on the head and say, ‘It's OK, I'll help you.' No, you beat them, and you kick them, and you hit them with a rod.” Kevin Franke, a professor and father of six, said he was unaware of the extent of the abuse but now acknowledges that his wife's actions were dangerous. He last saw his children more than a year before Ruby's arrest in August 2023. The abuse allegations surfaced when Franke's 12-year-old son escaped from Hildebrandt's $5.3 million home in Ivins, Utah. The child, severely malnourished and bound with duct tape, ran to a neighbor for help, prompting an immediate police response. Authorities discovered another one of Franke's children, a 9-year-old girl, in similarly horrific condition. The case revealed years of disturbing practices, with Franke's eldest daughter, Shari, previously attempting to alert child services about the abuse. Both Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse and were sentenced to a minimum of 30 years in prison. Despite the horror of the case, Kevin Franke admitted that his feelings for Ruby are complicated. “I don't think I'll ever stop loving her,” he said. “Does that mean that I want to let her back into my life? Let her back into my kids' lives? Absolutely not.” Kevin and his son Chad are now speaking out ahead of the release of Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke, a new documentary detailing Ruby's rise and fall. The documentary includes never-before-seen clips of Franke's aggressive outbursts, painting a stark contrast to the polished image she portrayed online. Reflecting on the dangers of social media, Kevin Franke is now urging parents to reconsider exposing their families to the public eye. “There is real danger when you place yourself, or your family, your children, out onto public social media,” he warned. The case has ignited broader discussions about parenting influencers, the ethics of monetizing family life, and the potential dangers of unregulated online advice. While Franke and Hildebrandt marketed their content as guidance for struggling parents, their convictions highlight the dark side of influencer culture, where financial incentives can overshadow child welfare. #KevinFranke #RubyFranke #JodiHildebrandt #TrueCrime #8Passengers #ConneXions #ParentingScandal Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Franke spoke out during the spring student protests on the Columbia University campus. She had watched as mostly Republican lawmakers grilled the presidents of MIT, the University of Pennsylvania and Harvard on live television. Soon after, the latter two women resigned — followed months later by Columbia's Minouche Shafik. Franke read about professors at colleges in other states, from Arizona to California to Pennsylvania, who said they were fired or punished for speaking out about the Gaza war.Months later, she didn't know whether she'd be next. Nor had she decided how to respond to Columbia's verdict of its probe into her actions, whenever it came: She could accept what the university determined. She could draw on her legal expertise to fight any punishment in court. Or she could give up and retire early, because sometimes she was no longer sure she wanted to stay.Could she still teach at Columbia, if she could no longer recognize it? This is the story of what unfolded in Franke's life after the student protests. The piece was reported, written and read by Hannah Natanson. Audio production and original music by Bishop Sand.

Being the child of a mommy vlogger forced to perform for the family YouTube sounds really awful. Being raised in a super intensely religious family sounds super tough. Having a mom with a personality disorder forcing you into vlogs and church… also a lot. Then finally a full-on cult??? Shari Franke survived her mother's vlog AND her cult and all she has to show for it is a great book and jailed mom.  NEW MERCH!!!!!! https://shop.celebritymemoirbookclub.biz/ If you want to host a CMBC meetup here's a meetup 101 packet to help you plan!
