Ruby Franke era uma das maiores youtubers do nicho de vlogs de familias nos Estados Unidos, reunindo mais de 2 milhões de inscritos. Em 2023 ela foi presa por abuso agravado infantil, depois que o filho mais novo conseguiu fugir e pediu ajuda a um vizinho que chamou as autoridades. Ruby foi condenada em 2024, e Shari sua filha mais velha relata toda a história pela sua perspectiva no livro the house of my mother, que eu vou contar pra vocês hoje. #490
El fenomenos de los niños youtubers, y de las familias que exponen crianza, es de por si, preocupante. Sumemosle a eso, que se realice con el fin de promover el mormonismo. Puede ser una bomba a punto de estallar. Cuando la madre de esa familia es una abusadora violenta, que se asocia con una "coach" llena de odio y rencor, la explosión resuena por todo Utah. La historia de Ruby Franke y la violencia a la que sometió a sus hijos, no podria haber ocurrido sin los permisos que otorga una religión demente, que gobierna parte de Estados Unidos.

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.

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?

Happy Almost Mother's Day to our Killer Moms out there!! This week, we are in sync (literally) and (not at all) mentally prepared to take you down this twisted story of the Monster of Ruby Franke. A case that has been long requested by all of you- this is the Case of Ruby Franke and 8 Passenger's Life in front of the Camera Part 1. Next week, we will cover Life behind the Lens- the truth of the horrors the Franke children suffered at the hands of their own mother and her "best friend/business partner" Jodi Hildebrandt.

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. Chad discusses his close bond with his siblings and dad, his current relationship with social media, and why he's committed to keeping his future children offline. He also emphasizes the need for stricter regulations around monetizing minors and gives a look at what's next for him.Be sure to follow Chad https://www.instagram.com/chadwfranke/!To email us your questions or share your story, you can reach out to lautner.thesqueezepodcast@gmail.comBe sure to rate, review, and follow the podcast so you don't miss an episode!

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! Get ready for a thought-provoking conversation that goes beyond the crime itself and into the heart of what happens when we allow the boundaries of real life and online performance to collide.

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?

From YouTube Mom to Felon-What Led to Ruby and Kevin Franke's Divorce Ruby Franke, once known as the strict but smiling matriarch of the 8 Passengers YouTube channel, is now serving a prison sentence for aggravated child abuse. In this gripping episode, we dive deep into the court documents, police bodycam footage, and the real-life consequences of a parenting philosophy that spiraled into criminal behavior. We walk through the collapse of Ruby and Kevin Franke's marriage, the finalization of their divorce in March 2025, and the disturbing details of the abuse that unfolded behind closed doors — far from the picture-perfect family they shared online. Through verified sources and firsthand records, we unpack how Kevin Franke, Ruby's husband of 23 years, was systematically pushed out of the home under the direction of controversial therapist Jodi Hildebrandt. We explore how Ruby and Jodi's ConneXions parenting model took over the household, leading to extreme punishments, child isolation, and eventually, a criminal case that shocked the nation. Kevin's role, his regrets, and his emotional police interview shed light on how one of the internet's most-watched families became one of its most tragic stories. This episode is a must-listen for anyone searching for the latest updates on the Ruby Franke case, the truth behind the 8 Passengers channel, and how online fame, faith, and power can twist into something truly dangerous. Whether you're here for the facts or the fallout, we give you a clear, factual, and human account of one of the most disturbing family influencer scandals in recent memory. #RubyFranke #8Passengers #TrueCrimePodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

“I don't do naughty things, I'm a really good girl.” That is what Ruby Franke tells her husband Kevin in a recorded jail call. She's a really good girl - that almost killed 2 of their youngest children. She kept them locked away in her marriage counselor/“lovers” mansion basement - torturing them for months. Soon, all the evidence will come out - their abuse diaries, the alleged romantic relationship, and the grim detail that they were planning on buying a 500 acre property in the middle of nowhere to carry out more extreme abuse. But the question on many people's minds is - how was nobody else involved and how did nobody else know what was happening? Kevin Franke, Ruby's devoted husband, has become the center of conspiracy theories. With people wondering just how much he knew, just how much he's covering up now, and if he should be charged. Also, why did he try to sue his oldest daughter after his wife was arrested? What about the mysterious woman - Pam? Two Franke teenage girls were found deep cleaning her home the day of the arrests. How come she doesn't appear that shocked to find out what Ruby had been doing? Is it because she knew all along? And what will Ruby and Jodi do to each other in prison? Will they turn on each other to save themselves - or do they still believe everyone is working with the devil? Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

It was the most viewed home on realtor websites for weeks. It's a curious looking house. As you swipe through the photos of the 15 foot tall ceilings, the grand glass windows, the $5M price tag starts to make sense. But what is that? There is an entire concrete bunker like structure underneath the house with its very own panic room. A bank vault door - leading to a room with a toilet and sink. To keep people out - and to keep people in. This is the home that Ruby Franke & Jodi Hildebrandt tortured Ruby's 2 youngest children in. There are detailed diaries left behind by Ruby Franke describing how she tortured them with cactuses, pouring cayenne pepper and honey into their wounds, and all the unique punishments she came up with. All the while posting podcast episodes - giving advice to other moms. How to be a perfect mom. Just like her. Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com

Jodi is one of the most recommended marriage therapists in the area but there's something about her that feels - wrong. “Every relationship needs to die in order to be reborn.” Her pattern is simple yet effective. Find the husband's addiction. Each husband has one. It's usually watching too many explicit videos, staring too long at his female coworkers, or just having too many inappropriate thoughts. Find the addiction. And stomp. It. Out. Shame the husband for how he's ruining the family and give the wife strength and power to run away from him… straight into Jodi's arms. It almost seems like that is her intention. And it seems to work like a charm - every single time. And just maybe - if Jodi really tries… maybe the men will even end up in prison. Then the wife will have nobody but Jodi. Youtuber / family blogger, Ruby Franke, should be very familiar with this. Because now all she has - is Jodi. Full show notes at rottenmangopodcast.com
Ruby Franke earned fame and fortune on her YouTube channel highlighting an ideal family life with her husband and six children. But that world crumbled when it was discovered her parenting style was more draconian than the loving image they portrayed on screen. After she fell into the orbit of life coach Jodi Hildebrandt, Ruby became estranged from her husband and older children. But police took notice when Franke's youngest son knocked on the door of Hildebrandt's neighbor, severely emaciated and covered in duct tape.From ABC Studios and streaming on Hulu, “Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke” explores her journey from influencer to inmate, and Hildebrandt's sway over the entire family. It includes interviews with her husband and children, and access to 1,000 hours of raw video which foreshadow the abuse to come.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "DEVIL IN THE FAMILY" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 12 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.

It's the middle of the desert and the pavement is scorching hot. If you dare to step barefoot on it, it's the equivalent of sticking your foot on a cast iron pan on high heat. Enough to cause instant blisters. But the 12 year old boy has no choice. He has once more chance to escape and he needs to make it to a neighbors house for safety. He crawls out the window and starts pacing. If nobody is home - that could be the end. There are only 3 homes in this part of the desert. The 1 he's been locked up and tortured in.The 1 where nobody would answer the door.And 1 last chance. If he can make it there before they catch him. Or if the duct tape around his ankles don't melt into him. August 30, 2023 - this little boys escape will kick start an investigation into one of the biggest family vloggers on YouTube. This is the case of Ruby Franke - the woman who has been vlogging herself abusing her 6 kids for years, and has locked away the two youngest in a windowless safe room - to be tortured.

I got a triple header show for you! First I go through a recap of the Oscars and all you need to know that was juicy. Then I talk to Spencer Pratt! He gives his take on the Oscars, if dating Kylie Jenner hurt Timothee Chalamet's chance of winning, and what Kim Kardashian needs to do in light of Kanye. Then he fills us in on all he has uncovered about the Palisades fire and who is responsible. Heidi is going on tour and they have big news to announce! I interview journalist Fortesa Latifi who has been uncovering the dark side of family vlogging much like Ruby Franke who was convicted of child abuse and doing up to 30 years in prison. She shares some of her findings and it's all fascinating in this time of everyone being on social media. • Head to https://acorns.com/juicyscoop or download the Acorns app to get started. • Go to https://legacybox.com/JUICY to get an incredible 50% off. • Find exactly what you're booking for on https://Booking.com, Booking.yeah!
