  1. Honestly those cries she is displaying are not for her kids, it is for her being sent to prison, she plays the victim pretty well, but the only victims here are the kids.
    She truly deserves the time.

  2. Has nothing to do with their faith, that was their own choices

  3. Fortune and Fame, now Named, Shamed and Jailed.😮😢 It's a New World.

  4. She should identify herself as Jewish, and her kids are Palestinian.
    Then it would be ok.

  5. Oh now that she faces up to 30 years in prison, she apologizes to her children ON COURT, INFRONT OF THE JUDGE, aka the person decideing her fate…. i wonder if its sincere??? 🙄😒

  6. Ruby didn't give advice to millions more like a few thousand and most were trolls

  7. She is as bad as a mother who convinces her child is in the wrong body

  8. Don't idolize celebrities or influencers

  9. "You are a part of me" This says it all, its still all about her, she sees them as extensions of herself she controls, not as their own individual people. She is a monster, I hope she never hears from her children again.

  10. Who who follow her advice?!

  11. Scumbag. I still don't understand why the sweet children's father didn't see them for a year.

  12. That is NOT "weeping"! Sounds exactly like fake crying to me!

  13. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

    Romans 6:23
    For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

    Acts 8:37
    And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

    Romans 10:9
    That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

    Corinthians 15:3-4
    For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

    Ephesians 2:8-9
    For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

  14. Message to all kids today don't believe these people you idolise online because they are not what they seem.

  15. Sentencing works a little odd in Utah. The parole board will decide when she’s eligible for parole. She must serve a minimum of 4 years before the board can determine eligibility but a maximum of 60 years, but the parole board will determine when she’s become eligible for a parole hearing.

  16. There's nothing worse than the term "YT mom influencer". 🙄 It shrieks megalomaniacal narcissism in just about every way imaginable. Sadly, marketing, money, and mugging for the millions of views are all key. All that matters is that view count, baby. Facts, logic, ethics, and compassion are for pü§§13s.

    Stay classy, humanity.

  17. Only in America would millions watch this idiot for parenting tips online

  18. She stopped being a mother when she crossed the line. To everyone, she’s a monster.

  19. Where is daddy btw?? Disgusting

  20. She is an absolute mental case. She needs to be studied.

  21. More like under the influence influencer

  22. I was wondering if this had anything to do with Mormonism.

  23. Wait until the inmates get ahold of her,😅

  24. And her husband should be tried for neglect. What a wuss.

  25. No justice today! How about the separation of church and state!

  26. I thought it was 1-15 years per charge, and there are 4 she plead guilty to. That would make it up to 60 years in prison.

  27. Those weren’t apologies to her children, the words she chose were diabolical. She is sorry she got caught. They will be humbled in prison.

  28. Didn’t they use this same acting during their YouTube videos 🤔 Throw the books that their crazy for liberty friends banned at them✌🏾

  29. Talk about fake crying. She's sorry she got caught.

  30. Here I was thinking I was doing something by punishing my kids by making them eat their vegetables. These two women are evil.

  31. What happens to child abusers in prison?

  32. the church, her supporters and youtube should be investigated for promoting and condoning this psychotic behavior

  33. Flat and useless. Like her parenting tips.

  34. She is putting on an act. She is full of sh**!

  35. The mom is more responsible in my opinion. Your whole purpose as a mother is to protect your cubs and she allowed this to happen. She’s worse than Jody!

  36. OMG, she is sorry because she got caught. She is a narcissist who deserves to spend the rest of her life in jail.

  37. "You would be the Belle of the ball" – Prison Mike.

  38. That mom is probably not a democrat, otherwise, she would be free

  39. You don't F*CK with the 420 Bro!

  40. She was wrong and is guilty 💯 child molesters get less time than her makes no sense

  41. fake tears! this mom should be focusing on their children and not spending all their time on utube, its just rediculous. throw the key away.

  42. Using food as punishment is over the line. My mother made her mistakes as…..but she showed us kindness and she never deprived us of food. Disgraceful

  43. From sadistic dubious pleasure at her kids' torment to " oh how they suffered, I'm sorry"??? You are sorry for you and the 30 years you'll be sitting, that's all.
