And for more context, here’s a video covering some of the drama.
Some highlights:
- Sending one of her sons to a wilderness camp and then, once he's arrived, denying him the use of a bed for seven months. And it was apparently over a prank where he tricked one of his siblings into thinking they were going to Disneyland, and then revealing it was just a prank.
- Frequently denying them food as a punishment. The most famous incident involves one of the daughters (aged six) forgetting to pack a lunch to school and Ruby making a point of not making anything for her, and even hoping nobody takes pity on her.
- Barely responding when their children all admitted that, due to her horseshit, they do not have any friends.
- Refusing any of her children any privacy.
- Threatening to destroy a child's toys in front of them. This threat might have been followed through.
- During the initial days of the plague, actually going out their way to recieve the virus. Like going to New York back when it was the epicenter of the Pandemic, and, once the father gets it, they share a common cup.
Thank you for posting that video. I watched it and now I am subscribed to SWOOP. She does good research and has an affable manner when laying the information out.
I've been keeping updated on details and conversations regarding this case. Latest thing I saw this morning:

YouTube mom Ruby Franke's relative says 'disgusting' child abuse case is 'BIGGER than people know' and claims other family members have also duct-taped, handcuffed and starved kids: 'I'm not shocked'
Quote:The family member - who said the charges of child abuse are 'disgusting' - said that their entire family tree 'from the roots to the branches' is 'blighted.'
The cousin of Ruby Franke, whose identity was concealed, told Law & Crime: 'I'm not shocked. It's not a shock at all. The direction in which it went was not what I thought, but from which it came was to be expected.
'I wasn't expecting some of the details in that story to line up with details in my own family history.
'My mother handcuffed my sisters when they were young, and a lack of food wasn't uncommon, but it wasn't out of the lack of money and there was a time when it could have been prevented and it wasn't.'
'All I can say is my mother did duck tape my siblings. I'm not shocked.'
There's no excuse for what Ruby is being charged with but I found this to be an interesting detail that potentially this method of abusive attempted parenting was inherited and taught to her.
A lot of fundamentalist Mormons subscribe to the puritan mindset of suffering bringing you closer to god. Fasting in order to make prayers more potent or increase your ability to hear the Holy Ghost is a doctrinal idea. And in a lot of Franke's videos, she talks about her children exhibiting a pattern of selfish behaviour (at ages 3 and 5 she is talking about) and how they need to repent. This is a twisted Mormon idea not based on doctrine. It is well known in Mormonism that kids don't reach the age of accountability until they turn 8. Until then, there's nothing for them to repent for.
