Ruby Franke and Kevin Franke created a YouTube channel in 2015 called “8 Passengers,” wherein they documented their lifestyle and how they were raising their children. The couple has six children together, named Shari, Chad, Abbie, Julie, Russell, and Eve.
Their channel garnered more than 2 million subscribers, but it was taken down by YouTube later on. However, Kevin kept on posting content on a less popular channel. They were homeschooling their children, and they were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The couple was being called out for being abusive towards them. Ruby was extremely strict towards her daughter and refused to give her lunch for forgetting to take lunch to school. There were petitions filed because fans saw their son sleeping on a bean bag while playing pranks on his brothers.
Ruby co-founded a parenting support circle with Jodi Hilderbrandt known as ConneXions,” which received harsh criticism for being homophobic, racist, and spreading transphobia. According to a source, a child was seen jumping out of Jodi’s window. He was severely wounded and malnourished, and it was noticed that the child’s hands were tied with duct tape.
Ruby was seen filming Jodi’s reaction a few days ago, and she was very well aware of the child’s condition. The two were arrested by the police and are being held without bail.
