Important context, this is Chad Franke, aka son of 8 Passengers Ruby Franke 😭

Kevin Franke is a spineless bitch who had every opportunity to go knock on the door and find out what was happening to his kids, pass it on

shocked but not surprised to learn that ruby franke and jodi hildebrandt most likely shared a physical relationship at one point. it definitely makes everything about the '8 passengers downfall' make just a little more sense.

I feel like the family vlogger thing is inherently exploitative, in part because when it begins the people who will be the most impacted can’t really consent to being involved because of how young they are. Still, I see a lot of people saying they found 8 passengers so sweet and wholesome and the truth is that Ruby Franke being an abuser isn’t shocking if you recognize that children are people. No good parent takes away their kid’s bed for nearly a year over a prank. Or threatens to cut up a preschooler’s favorite stuffed animal as a punishment. What that woman showed for her own children wasn’t tough love, it was contempt and it wasn’t well hidden.
