Poor Ruby. Jodi H. just totally manipulated poor helpless Ruby. Ruby was a "devoted mother" and has "actively engaged in introspection" so now she knows she maybe did just a couple of teeny tiny things that her kids may have interpreted as unpleasant so please let me out of jail.

IOW: mistakes were made- but not by me!

She will never understand why her children will never want to see her again in her life. She only wanted what was best!

And so it goes.

So Ruby is pleading guilty while throwing Jodi under the bus. That's probably her best strategy. But if I were the judge in her case, I would still give her significant prison time. And she should never be entrusted with the care of a living being ever again.

I hope that the police will investigate "Connexions" my concern is that there might be more children tied down with duct tape.

And it is damn scary that there are people Franke, et al.

If I had even heard the words 'duct tape' during the podcast, I would have found something better.

"SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — The ex-husband of convicted child abuser Ruby Franke is calling on lawmakers to change how police and the Utah Division of Child and Family Services investigate cases of abuse. He says there are too many loopholes in the system that made it easy for Franke and co-defendant Jodi Hildebrandt to hide what was happening to his children."

--Says the man who abandoned his kids because Ruby kicked him out of the house.

Where was he when the abuse occurred?

Agree. Yes, changes need to be made to the system but that certainly does not excuse him from his own neglect.
