The Worst YouTube Mom of All Time: Ruby Franke (8 Passengers)

And the most disgusting thing about this is the fact that there are still SO MANY VIDEOS I didn't have the opportunity to share with you guys in this video. She called her son a sore loser and he began hyperventilating, she didn't change her preschool-aged daughters clothes for TWO DAYS (she even SLEPT in the clothes), she LOCKED and BOLTED their doors, and she openly admitted to neglecting her 2-year-old (she wasn't bathing her baby or changing the clothes). I wish nothing but the most miserable life for this monster.

I’m a substitute teacher on the side, if I called a parent and they told me their kid was responsible for packing their own lunch and said “they’ll just have to go hungry” I’d be on the phone with CPS immediately.

To make your child sleep on the floor for over half a YEAR for a harmless prank and giggle about it like you’re parent of the year?? She actually insane.

The fact that she vlogged herself doing all of this is crazy to me

One time when I was about seven, I was sickly and vomiting so I sat down near the toilet, and because I was exhausted, I fell asleep.I woke up the next morning in my bed with my stuffed animals all arranged. My dad had found me before he went to bed and put me back in my bed and fixed my stuffed animals, I struggled to fall asleep if they weren’t right, and he knew that.That is how you treat a sickly child, you don’t see them on the cold tile floor if you see them. The bare minimum is get them at least a blanket.Some people should not be allowed to have children.

My parents were highly abusive, my mother actually told me "this is my home and we allow you to dwell here.' I spend 31 years fully under control, and didn't know that human rights existed till I took a security agent course. When I got out I said I'd never go back. When my stepfather passed mom ordered me to leave my job, sell my condo and go back to serving her. I would only be allowed to bring my clothes, to where I was told to give away my 2 10 month old kittens. I didn't, I went no contact with my entire family... its been 12 years and the best decision . PS the cats are now 2 beautiful older ladies. I did end up having my mother stalking me for 3 years.

My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for almost eight years. This is the kind of shit that just puts me in tears. For some reason the world has decided I shouldn't be a mother, yet people like this are able to reproduce and get away with child abuse. She's been arrested and all I want to do is take every single baby into my home and show them what love is. 😢❤ Bless these babies I hope they eventually get to know what life is supposed to be.

The laughing at her kids’ discomfort is so so disturbing

[GiddyGeese]

Only 30 years in prison for STRIPPING AWAY your child’s BASIC RIGHTS. Wow, what a world we live in

[NotJessH]

I pray the dad doesn’t get custody of any of the kids. He’s just as guilty as that horrid mom.

[digitalwasabi]

By her logic, she might as well have said “I own all the air in this house, and if you don’t behave, you will lose your privilege of breathing.”

[Clover_cowboy]

Her kids could’ve gotten kidnapped and held hostage, and she would just say “they’re responsible for their own safety. I’m sorry their learning this the hard way but I can’t bail them out of everything”

[Mooney_dasGebäck]

The way she talks about the cell phones is exactly how my dad talks about my phone (I'm raised in the same religion that this family is and I hate it). Thanks God I only get yelled at when doing something wrong instead of something this atrocious, vile and abhorrent as what the mum was doing.

[saved.by.christ.]

The fact that a lot of abusive parents call this “tough love” or “old fashioned parenting” is just sickening. IF YOUR CHILD IS THROWING UP, GIVE HIM SOME DAMN MEDICINE

[deborahholland]

Punishing your child by withholding food is abuse, pure and simple.

[Boris._..]

"Sometimes, I have to neglect the kids"
Excuse me, WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL

[berthanadrossos]

Every time Ruby disciplines the children she smiles and chuckles.

[felixthefelis]

Ruby: “My sixteen year old cares about nothing but football”
Also Ruby: “Oh, pay for your homework or I will throw it away” (While Chad desperately claws for his homework)
Yeah…. Chad certianly seems like the immature one here 🙄

[OlenaBeley]

"You don't need food, " she said to her toddler. She's insane. Absolutely sadistic.
It really seems like she LOVES punishing her kids. Gets off on the power. "You don't get breakfast if you don't scratch my back." She thinks it's FUNNY to withhold food from them...

[kristaloew]

16:35, and yet…Ruby would scold her children if they got bad grades, even though SHE TOOK THEIR HOMEWORK AWAY TO GET MONEY- ……this is outrageous!!!!

[OnyxTheAltGirl]

My dad once forgot I had club on a Tuesday. He said he would never forgive himself for it. Why? Because his mother would constantly forget him at school so he would have to WALK HOME. My heart sank when I heard that. I bet this horrible excuse for a mom would make her kids pay for her to pick them up. She disgusts me.
