Ruby Franke’s Jailhouse Calls Revealed: ‘Children Can Be Full of Evil’

Recordings of Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt while they were in jail shed light on what was going through the duo’s minds after they were arrested for child abuse.

That poor neighbor crying at the state of the little boy shows more compassion than his own mother. This is a horror movie.

[monkeysaur]

She's right, it was a witch hunt. Two evil witches were hunted, arrested, and are now in jail where they belong.

[laskey]

"I don't do naughty things." - Person with a cell in her basement.

[familyandfriendsfuntimes]

“The kids are being horribly abused”.

Yes, Jodi, by you.

[Tabitha]

The phone calls between Ruby and Kevin add onto the reasons I don’t think Kevin is 100% blameless. There’s no way those kids should go back to him. Ever.

[Mad_Beefs]

She keeps saying satan is taking things from her but is not realizing she is satan in this situation.

[xprettydobsley]

The fact she hasn't asked about her kids and asked where they were or are they okay. Speaks volumes.

[kingnaga]

Literally her FIRST question is if they are in the news. Her first concern was her public image. I hope she enjoys all 30 years in prison.

[Lala_B]

Ruby. The most horrifying thing is she’s misunderstood?
While her son’s skin is so rotten it smells and an EMS attendant is in tears. And while it took first responders FOUR HOURS to coax her tiny, shaved headed daughter from a bathroom.
Horrifying.

[salvadormendoza]

Did she think her children were evil when she made millions using them for content?

[kristaw]

When a man from the older generation tears up while he's describing the state of this boy, you know it's bad.

[psycherevival]

Jodi “ these Bible passages must have been written about me!”
Nope, but you sure are narcissistic enough to think so !!

[ChanelGreer]

She blames evil and satan but all she needs to do is look in the mirror. She’s not a mother, she’s a monster. Never once asking how her children are!

[BMarie]

That woman is blaming that little boy for “moving around” while bound and tide up. The friction cut him. The bindings cut him. YOU DID THAT JODI.

[xjyfdfn]

When you have a child afraid to move, speak, or eat…..you have sone something terribly wrong

[ladameeidolon]

Ruby and Kevin only concerned with themselves. No interest in the plight of their children. Kevin needs to be charged. He should never receive custody of the children.

[TheBeezusjones]

So .. just right off the bat, as soon as they get on the phone, Kevin doesn't immediately say "wtf have you done to hurt our children??" You know he knows what was going on.. he needs to be charged now and not get custody either. The devil ? YOU ARE the devil, lady..

[pcbrightlights]

Ruby F was a ‘bad’ mother before she ever met Jodi Hildebrand.

[kikineJKS]

That little boy is so amazing. I read he tried to escape. He didn’t give up. He saved himself and his little sister. They deserve an happy and peaceful life away from those 2 monsters.

I'm 62, I've had my Autistic son since day 1. I would never look at him like it's his fault. I hope the kid's get over this horror they we're put through.
