I can't find the acne post on Instagram either. I have messaged messenger kids as they have a sponsorship that they have posted about on Facebook. Hopefully they will listen as well.jellybean616 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 5:58 pmWhoa! I think she's taken the acne video down!!

If she has taken it down, then well done to you and all the others who contacted the skincare company to complain!!
Yep, she did! I happened to take a screenshot earlier today, just in case she started deleting any of the more recent videos. The one on the second row about Chad's acne routine is gone now.jellybean616 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 5:58 pmWhoa! I think she's taken the acne video down!!

I think that is exactly what it's about... Those 2 couples are 2 peas in a pod. They are all lousy parents.
I think that's a huge part of the whole "we don't need friends we have our siblings" mantra that Ellie, Ruby and Bonnie spew on a regular basis. They don't allow their kids to have friends really-- they have their siblings and cousins. They're allowed to have "crushes" because those get views, but the only "friends" they seem to have are other vlogger kids. And that normalizes the exploitation and emotional abuse.freshbalsam wrote:Unfortunately these kids know no different.

Like someone said, abuse is abuse. I’m sure the Franke’s can’t comprehend that abuse is more than going hungry or having bruises all over. Emotional abuse runs deep.
Shari should not be the one addressing the issue and I’m confident it’s Ruby’s idea that she does to “prove a point” when it comes out of the mouth of her kid instead of her.

The fact that she bought him a new wardrobe of uniforms while he was away shows what school she expected him to pick, I definitely think it would have been easier for him. He went against what she wanted and has been punished for that as well.lmmomSD wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 7:30 pmI think that's a huge part of the whole "we don't need friends we have our siblings" mantra that Ellie, Ruby and Bonnie spew on a regular basis.

I wonder just how much money Ruby has made off Chad. His Anasazi return videos got tons of views, his "relationship" with Kesley and any video with him in the thumbnail get lots of views. It makes her treatment of him even more despicable. He probably paid for that BVI vacation and probably their couple trip to the UK all by himself. Hell, she even loaned him out to Bonnie, who barely gives him the time of day generally from what I have seen. But he can't have a bed, or privacy or a freaking backpack to carry his books. If he had knuckled under and gone to private school, I wonder if Ruby would have treated him differently.

I agree. Bonnie does it too. They both know how to manipulate well to get their way. Now we have Ruby coaching the kids telling them what to feel, and you can always see it on their face they don't want to be on camera, but she uses the excuse like she did with Russell, "you feel shame so you don't want to talk to me," no nit wit, it's because he doesn't want it taped.Carolina wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 8:16 pm I wish YouTube had more regulations and penalties in place for some of these Youtube families or any channel that has kids on it. 1. If a minor clearly states that they don’t want to be filmed and they are ignored and continue to be film,there should be a huge fine. 2. If a minor is in a commercial/ad and you have financial gain there should be a percentage put away in a trust for that minor until they are adults with parents not being able to use those funds at all. 3. If a minor appears in a YouTube video again a percentage should be put away for them to use when they are adults and parents can’t touch it. These are just some examples of regulations I think should exist. I feel so bad when Julie doesn’t want to talk about the shaving situation and ruby just disregards her feelings and keeps filming and talking about it. She has no respect for her kids who time and time again say they don’t want to be film wtf YouTube set up some stuff to protect kids.

Oh, no. She's not kicking _herself_. If anyone she is angry with Chad for being so bad that she had to take away his bed.Happy+Charlie wrote:Ruby must be punching herself for not taking the part about Chad's sleep situation out.
100%. They were together like 2 days ago. April and Davey are exactly the same.
100% agree, I saw posts on Instagram accounts saying Ruby was a pedophile because she was kissing and biting Russell and that video with the girls where they were waving their feet around (its an old video). In addition, they were calling them racistsimoverit wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 10:03 am Ugh, it is going to be even worse watching Shari try to address this than Ruby and Kevin. It is very frustrating to me that a lot of the accounts calling out the family are noticeably immature and not very well thought out (often complaining the kids don't have phones, which is a minor issue compared to others) and those are going to be the only ones this family will pretend are giving them negativity, not mature adults with well reasoned thoughts. I'm proud of the young teens who are calling out the abuse in this family but all I am saying is it will be a lot easier for Ruby and the family to feel the accusations are unjustified when it is most loudly coming from young people who they look down on.
Yes Shari, there is worse abuse happening in the world. But abuse is abuse, and what Ruby does to her kids is absolutely neglectful and emotionally abusive. Also, Shari doesn't experience it nearly as badly as her siblings so she is the last person I want to hear from about this. Just because some people have it worse does not mean it is okay for Ruby to do these things to her kids and, even more shockingly and harmful, broadcast it to the entire internet and DEFEND it. Of course the Griffiths family members don't see any problem with it and are defending them -- similar things are going on in their own families! But I have always considered Ruby the worst of them all.
This entire situation will not result in a single second of self reflection or thought from the Franke parents. Nothing will change, this will blow over and they will have their audience back to fuel and encourage the rampant exploitation of these children for their mother's profit and hers alone. I hope the kids at least know this is all going on and maybe within themselves feel empowered to stand up to their parents or say no to being filmed when they don't want to be. No child wants strangers attacking their family for abuse and will naturally want to defend their family and say it's not so bad. But I think that's a symptom of it all - they don't realize it's happening to them because on the surface they are a well-off picture-perfect family, and those things aren't 'supposed' to happen to families like theirs.
citing the post about George Floyd as evidence. Listen I wouldn't be surprised if they were racists, but you're doing this "movement" no good by throwing baseless claims that you can't prove. I'm not a fan of 8 Passengers, however those claims true or not can be just as damaging to ones reputation as Ruby's parenting is to those kids. They can ruin someone's life, and just like Ruby said that she was going to take screenshots to use for content, she can turn around and use said screenshots to sue these people for defamation of character and slander, (and if she was really greedy for "money lost" since everyone went after her sponsors). Like you said, they're not helping the situation, they're complaining about technology mostly, but not the other things Ruby has done, and Ruby is just going to look at them and group them with everyone who has legitimate concerns and not actually reflect and try to change.In one of the vlogs ruby and Kevin said they are not paying any money for the kids college funds and supposedly they live on a budget right now so anything the kids want they will have buy them selfs
I’ve been wondering if she didn’t even bother to review this video closely enough to see how it makes her look, and now she’s fired the editor.lmmomSD wrote: ↑Mon Jun 01, 2020 9:33 pmOh, no.

It's what she gets for being too lazy to edit her own videos.
