About this listen

 This episode contains discussion of child abuse. Ruby Franke built an empire on being the “perfect” mom. Millions of followers watched her raise six kids, share parenting advice, and present a picture-perfect family life. But behind the wholesome image, things weren’t as perfect as they seemed. Viewers began noticing punishments that felt extreme… then disturbing… then impossible to ignore. In 2023, Ruby Franke was arrested for child abuse, alongside a woman many people had never heard of, but who may be the real key to understanding how everything went so wrong: Jodi Hildebrandt. In Part 1, we’re unpacking the rise of 8 Passengers, the early red flags, and the relationship that would change this family forever. This episode contains discussion of child abuse.
