Was Ruby Franke's Husband 'Brainwashed' By Her & Jodi Hildebrandt?

Was Ruby Franke's Husband 'Brainwashed' By Her & Jodi Hildebrandt?

How does a family's private turmoil escalate to a point where it captures public attention and raises serious legal and ethical questions? The latest discussion on "Hidden Killers" podcast, hosted by Tony Brueski, with attorney and former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani, delves deep into the disturbing case involving Ruby Franke, Jodi Hildebrandt, and Kevin Franke, exploring the perplexing dynamics and potential legal ramifications.

The conversation begins with a focus on Kevin Franke's role and his claim of being brainwashed. “I was willing to take anyone's advice I thought was a professional that could help me reestablish that relationship in my bond with my kids and family and my wife at the end. I was brainwashed,” Kevin stated, according to his attorney. Rahmani, weighing in on this claim, finds it plausible but also suggests that Kevin's initial actions were questionable. “After Ruby was arrested, he came out with some very bizarre statements in the media defending her... What kind of parent are you?” Rahmani questions.

The discussion moves to the broader implications of the case, particularly the abuse allegations involving Jodi Hildebrandt. Jesse Hildebrandt, Jodi's niece, recently recounted to Nightline her traumatic experiences under Jodi’s care, which resonate disturbingly with the treatment of Ruby's children. These revelations paint a picture of systemic abuse that went unnoticed for far too long.

Brueski raises the question of institutional failure and oversight, pondering how such prolonged abuse escaped thorough investigation. Rahmani highlights the confidentiality of juvenile records, which often obscures the full extent of such cases from public view. He notes, “We're relying on what's been told to us by family members, friends, and neighbors, but it's very difficult to know from the law enforcement perspective what they actually knew and what they acted upon.”

The conversation shifts to Kevin Franke's actions, particularly his reaction to his daughter retrieving belongings from their home, which Rahmani describes as “bizarre behavior.” This leads to a broader discussion on the potential for criminal charges against Kevin. “He's definitely lost in the court of public opinion...but with respect to criminal charges, is it possible? Yes, it's possible,” Rahmani acknowledges, outlining the challenges in prosecuting failure-to-protect cases when the parent is not physically present during the abuse.

Rahmani also explores the possibility of Kevin being charged with abandonment. He explains, “Parents are free to give up custody of their kids...there's nothing unlawful with that, unless Kevin acted with some knowledge or recklessness of the fact that Ruby was and is going to continue abusing those kids.”

The Franke-Hildebrandt case, as dissected by Brueski and Rahmani, reveals a tangled web of familial, legal, and moral complexities. It underscores the need for vigilance in child welfare cases and raises critical questions about the responsibilities of parents and the effectiveness of oversight mechanisms in protecting vulnerable children.

As this story continues to unfold, one cannot help but wonder: In cases where the line between victim and perpetrator blurs, how do we ensure justice for the most vulnerable, while also holding all accountable parties responsible?

Between a Rock and a Hildebrandt: Kevin Franke's Cluelessness Unveiled

Between a Rock and a Hildebrandt: Kevin Franke's Cluelessness Unveiled

In an episode that reads more like a thriller novel than a family court case, "Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski" delves into the twisted tale of Ruby Franke and Kevin Franke, with Robin Dreeke lending his expertise on the bewildering dynamics at play. Here's a snapshot of the conversation, distilled into its most eyebrow-raising essence: Kevin Franke's Cluelessness: A bewildering state of apparent ignorance concerning the depth of dysfunction and alleged abuse happening under Jody Hildebrandt's roof. The question hangs: Is ignorance bliss or just plain ignorance? The Formation of an Anti-Male Cult: Ruby Franke and Jody Hildebrandt, described as creating a vortex of unhealthy behavior, seemingly manifested an anti-male agenda, with Kevin as a bystander—or perhaps, a casualty. Legal Lapses and Parental Passivity: Kevin Franke's baffling lack of legal action to reclaim his children from what many would consider a volatile situation raises more than a few eyebrows and questions about parental responsibility—or the lack thereof. Paranormal Deflections: When faced with serious allegations of child abuse, Kevin's recourse to paranormal activities as a distraction—or explanation—adds an eerie layer to an already complex case. The Cult-like Dynamics: Echoing notorious cult activities, the Franke case seems to check all the boxes: charismatic leadership, isolation, exploitation, and a hint of sexual undertones, painting a grim picture of manipulation and control. A Failure to Act: Kevin's inaction, potentially driven by fear or manipulation, stands as a stark reminder of how powerful groupthink and cult-like influence can be, especially when it comes to protecting the most vulnerable. #RubyFrankeSaga #KevinFrankeCluelessness #HildebrandtCult #ParanormalParenting #CultLikeDynamics #ChildSafetyConcerns #FrankeFamilyDrama Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
