Have you seen this in the news? This young wife and mother has had this podcast going on YouTube. She had this site up for 8 years. Recently her site was taken down. Here's the story:
It seems that Ruby Franke has some very radical parenting techniques. She has six kids and lives in Utah. Two are adults and no longer communicate with her. Her husband has left her and I think they are in the process of a divorce now. She was living with this other woman who also had some strange ideas. Her 12-year-old child was able to escape by way of a window and got to a neighbor's house and when the neighbor saw the condition of the child he called the police.
They have both been arrested for felony child abuse.

I knew about her charges of child abuse, but I did not know her history.

@RebeccasFarm ..........Where in the world did she get her strange ideas? That's what I don't understand. And, why so many kids to keep messing up?

It is pretty awful. Some people just shouldn't have kids.

@celticeagle According to internet reports, her husband left her, and she and her friend were arrested for child endangerment among other things. And her show was deleted off of YouTube, because her channel was apparently taken down.

That is one of the worst things ever when it comes to child abuse. Now that crazy woman should be abused and see how she likes it,

Their kids are in child welfare. He let it go on so the judge would not let him have them.

I read a headline about her, but I didn't know about it until now. That's terrible.

Some mothers shouldn't be mothers. She's a psycho.

No, I haven’t heard anything new lately but I’ve heard so many similar stories. Not long ago a young boy was found in a town not far from me that had been locked in a closet in the home for years. None of the neighbors knew the couple had a child. I’ve forgotten just how he was found.

I'm certainly glad he was found. Some people just shouldn't have kids.

@celticeagle I cannot understand it. These parents have to be mental cases.

Never heard of it. I think it's appropriate to take a legal action on that.

I think some very strict legal action should be taken.

I didn't know about her until I read it all on the news, but she belongs in prison forever. The things she put those kids through! What in the world is wrong with people??? Why have kids if you are going to treat them like this??
