Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke

Watching the show it is blatantly obvious that Jodi and Ruby abused those kids; if you've followed the case even remotely you know that. Apparently the only person that does not know that is Kevin. The last interview of the whole show is Kevin saying that he still loves Ruby and throughout he posits that he would always pick Ruby over the children. I don't care how great your memories are with someone if you learn that they are abusive: let alone to children, YOUR children, and to such a degree that those children were abused; your perspective changes. If your perspective doesn't change that's because you knew or at least don't care. I hope none of those kids have any contact with Kevin ever again and that they finally get the support and love that their parents were supposed to provide.

Oh and Ruby and Jodi were definitely hooking up. Nothing like faking demon possession to get into your girlfriend's house and kick her husband out.

Ruby Franke is where she belongs - in jail. Why isn't Kevin? This doc wants to make him the victims too. I understand he seems very weak, and he was completely infatuated with Ruby and would have done anything to make her love him. How he allowed Jodi Hildebrandt to move in with them is a mystery. He also let his wife sleep in Jodi's bed, under the auspices of protecting Jodi from the demons that she possessed. He gets kicked out of his own home by these two nut jobs; here a man would put his foot down and fight for the kids. Not Kevin. He left. His daughter Shari tries to reach out to him, she also shunned by the mad women. What does Kevin do? Blocks her from calling him again.

Honestly this doc should have been called: "Why is this guy not in jail with the other two".

Documentary is great. Shows how terrible Ruby & Jodi are. The father was obviously brainwashed but he had to know some sort what was happening....probably just did this for the paycheck not the story.

Anyway, it is entertaining cause you see a manipulative Karen (Ruby) throughout her videos but the abuse she did to her children was the sad part. She was extremely controlling and it was funny how all her neighbors did not like her. Cutting off your children is insane when they did nothing, I feel like she started cutting off the older children because they couldn't be controlled anymore and she couldn't profit off of them cause they were becoming adults. Terrible person.

This doc was interesting far more detailed than what i was getting on TikTok.

I would like to put Ruby and Jodi aside from my review. These are two evil, mentally unstable, delusional psychopaths who were made for each-other.

Good riddance to both of them. I hope they rot in jail.

Now let's talk about the husband. This guy absolutely sucks and should be held just as responsible and investigated. His priorities are all over the place. He literally went with everything his wife said and condoned everything she did because he lacks the balls and intelligence (this grown ass man doesnt know what the word emaciated means fyi) to stand up for his kids. He knew exactly what his wife was capable of and he stood by and let it happen like the pathetic greedy fool he is. Be a man and pull yourself together and get these kids out of her clutches! It should have been easy task!

This entire doc series, he acted as one of Rubys victim, but in actuality he was an enabler. Zero awareness. No thought process. Were we supposed to empathize with this sad sack? This guy ABANDONED his entire family and is blaming it on being brainwashed, no sir you were not brainwashed, you were just a pathetic excuse of a father and took zero accountability. The truth is, he got away scott free with no consequences.

He literally didnt do anything to help his children, all he thought about was himself, his greedy thirst over the YT money. He keeps blaming it on not having any contact for a year when he got kicked out of the house but couldnt pick up the phone to see what the kids were up to? He also had his oldest son and daughter's phone numbers blocked, so they couldnt reach him. I cannot believe he wasnt investigated for pure negligence at this point.

I only feel sorry for the two youngest children who missed out on the "youtube cash flow fairy" and instead got stuck with cult hell misery.

I seriously hope the kids are happy and healthy.

And I hope Kevin lives a miserable life.

It absolutely blows my mind that there are people like these operating in our world. They are so completely consumed by delusions and magical fantasies that they actually act in their insane and inane beliefs. In truth, they use their false deities and revelations to advance their own agendas, prejudices, and desires for more money and more power. Then they lord or over their children and their families through punishment, denial of love and affection, and outright abuse. If any of them actually attempted to live the words ascribed to their mythical savior, they would share all of their wealth and resources with the poor and needy. Yet they never do. Grow up, you ridiculous fools and con artists.
