You would have imagined that the Utah Division of Child Protective Services would have been flooded with thousands of complaints from people witnessing this horrible parenting by Ruby Franke on YouTube.

As for Jodi Hildebrant, Maven's video shows her to be an unethical monster. Adam was victimized by both Jodi and the LDS Church.

Jessi, her niece, said Jodi was billing the church for her services. Let. that. sink. in.

Mok get ya a dose of Stephanie Harlowe as linked above. She doesn't disappoint.

She did a very nice job. I'm glad she followed up on the cult angle. There's more to the ConneXions cult (I loved Stephanie's pronunciation) than Jodi and Ruby. There were two mentions of "minders" in the video. I hope the media dig deep on this cult. There are almost certainly more children being abused by cult members.

Cards on the table here. I was planning to bow out of this topic or at least take a few days to detox on account of something I saw last night that left me clenching my jaw. I am not exaggerating. That jaw clenching went on for a good two hours or more. Because there's some things that even a Jersey Girl can't take.

I can take hearing about school age children being duct taped and starved. Not that anyone should've course. But I can't take this directed towards young todds. This hits some place in me that doesn't even have a word to describe it. Because it's (insert some word I can't think of) and I can't do anything about it. It's happening right now, today, in various homes and I can't do anything to stop it. And I can't take knowing it. It hurts my very soul.

This is the first one I watched.

Ruby Franke’s family is full of narcissists (disturbing Bonnie Hoelliein video reaction)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqAQAfZ8Z1Q

I followed up with this one on the same topic.

Parenting Tip: how to help your littles listen and understand boundaries
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_GIYLAQTzM&t=484s

I see now that DCP (no, not that one...Dad Challenge Podcast) has a new video up about it, too.


Ruby Franke's Sister, Bonnie, Admits To Dangerous Parenting Techniques

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykeQSmyk5dQ&t=12s

I might be able to watch him but only because I think he'll cuss a b out like she deserves. Me, I want to beat the ever loving stuffing out of these women...then teach them. And I can't do that. I have no way to do that. These women know more about how their filming equipment works than they do the actual human beings they gave birth to.

Maybe I don't like feeling helpless when I know a vulnerable person is being damaged who has no personal power to stop it without intervention.

And I can't intervene.

Shut up, Jersey.

Anyway, I do think it's important that people like us discuss it here. You never know who is reading or how they might benefit from the information everyone is supplying. That's the best weapon we have to fight this abuse. Information.

I'll try to find it RI. I heard it on a clip yesterday. Might have been a MSP clip. I'll go dig it up soon here.

ETA: RI she was doing Jodi's billing. That's the context.

RI special delivery: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEnQFybc63M
Thanks. I think Jessi also said in the interview Stephanie played that she hasn't seen Jodi in 10 years, except at a family funeral. So that would have to be back before her license was temporarily suspended in in 2012. Adam's therapy with her was in 2008, and she billed Adam and his wife. Dehlin responds with a leading question about bishops using their local ward budgets. I wish he had just asked her where the bills were being sent.

Based on the pics and location of her house, it looks like she made bank doing her thing.

She's in Seattle... 8-)

They've all made bank on this stuff. Jodi likely accumulating the most wealth. But the youtubers couldn't be that far behind her.
