Were Mommy Bloggers Preying On Vulnerable LDS Members?

In a riveting episode of "Hidden Killers," host Tony Brueski delves deep into the murky waters of child protective services, exploring the intersection between a broken system and the masterful deceit of individuals like Ruby, a narcissist who manages to fool the system at every turn. Brueski's probing query, "Why did it take so long for anybody to look into this on a serious level?" brings to the fore a pressing issue that has haunted child welfare advocates for years.

Brueski is quick to clarify his stance, emphasizing that his intention isn’t to demean the many dedicated workers within the child protective services system. "I've always have to be careful with that because there are many people in it who work their ass off and are not funded. They don't have the resources to do their job correctly." The real culprit, Brueski suggests, may not just be an underfunded system but individuals like Ruby, who know how to play the game all too well.

Offering a deeper perspective, Lori Hellis, a criminal defense lawyer with substantial experience in juvenile cases, sheds light on the delicate balance child welfare systems must strike. "In every state, there is this tightrope between the rights of a parent to raise their children as they see fit, and when that tips over into abuse and neglect," Hellis explains. The challenge for CPS investigators lies in discerning genuine threats from benign but nonconventional parenting practices.

Hellis goes on to highlight the complexities that investigators face in cases that, on the surface, present no obvious signs of neglect or abuse. "So They go into a home and they see a home that is appropriately furnished. The kids have food. They appear to be being homeschooled in a responsible way." The key, according to her, is determining if there is a "true risk of harm" to the children.

This conundrum becomes even more profound in homes that are upscale and wield significant societal influence. As Brueski poignantly questions, "Are people getting better at hiding this stuff?" The conversation delves into how our societal perceptions can often be misguided, equating affluence or apparent happiness with well-being.

Hellis raises an alarming point about how the digital age might be aiding these deceptive tendencies. With the vast amount of information available online, she believes people have become more adept at understanding what the state looks for and, consequently, how to hide potential red flags. The darker corners of the internet may empower wrongdoers with the tools they need to elude detection.

The episode then shifts to the nuances of emotional abuse, a form of mistreatment often overlooked because of its intangibility. As Brueski puts it, "It's also a reflection just of how we handle mental health in our country to begin with." The discussion concludes with a heart-wrenching case involving Ruby Frankie, illustrating how the unsuspecting are sometimes trapped in toxic therapeutic relationships, manipulated by unscrupulous individuals who exploit their client's vulnerabilities.

In light of such complexities, one can't help but ponder: are we facing a systemic failure, or is it the evolving mastery of deceit that's to blame? The conversation on "Hidden Killers" serves as a compelling reminder that, in the age of information, we must be ever vigilant and discerning, constantly challenging our perceptions and assumptions.

As we reflect on the intricate dance between a possibly flawed system and the cunning deception of some individuals, one has to wonder: In an age where appearances can be so deceiving, how can we truly safeguard our most vulnerable?

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?
