Was Kevin Franke Brainwashed? The Truth Behind His Loyalty to Ruby

Was Kevin Franke a clueless victim of psychological manipulation, or was he just too comfortable letting someone else call the shots—even when it meant his own kids were suffering? The Hulu documentary Devil in the Family peels back the layers of one of the most twisted true crime cases in recent years, exposing how extreme parenting, blind faith, and YouTube fame created the perfect storm for abuse to thrive.

Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott dig into the psyche of Kevin Franke—the father of six who claims he had no idea what was happening inside his own home. How does someone convince themselves that their spouse’s increasingly extreme behavior is just "parenting techniques" and not outright abuse? And more importantly, how do you walk away from your own children for a year because a self-proclaimed guru told you to?

Kevin insists he was blindsided, but can you really be a passive bystander when your own kids are suffering? And after everything, why does he still say he loves Ruby Franke? Is he on a path to healing, or is he just one manipulative figure away from falling into another trap?
