  1. Ask yourself a question…. If this type of content is allowed to be shown on unregulated digital media and casually uploaded to you tube to make profits for people who call themselves "influencers", WHAT do you think is being shown on the Dark Web? People profit from that TOO!. >.<

  2. Ruby is a horrible human, evil beyond the depths of imagination. Your one job as a mother is to care for and protect the children God gave you. Disgusting! Life in prison, solitary for life no parole is my thought!

  3. Drag queens and trans people always being accused of abusing kids yet whenever someone actually is found to be truly abusing kids, in the most horrific of ways, it’s nearly always a right wing fundamental-case.

    Wake up people.

  4. White parents are just harsh I had a white friend in high school that only eat at school his parents always eat out without him. My mom would let me invite him over to eat. She to called. Child service but cops only believe white people so they got away with it. His mom found out what my mom did and they called child service on us and were native Americans and they took my brother's an me and they asked questions. But never believed me that my parents loved us and never ever harmed us.

  5. Oh!!!! You mean ANOTHER CASE where CPS ignored reports??? At least this time it’s not a poor family. I was starting to get worried there for a minute. I thought it was just poor kids they didn’t give a rats a$$ about…. Turns out it’s ALL kids…. Unless that is if they can make a profit from adopting them out like they do in some states. Absolutely DISGUSTING. Another gold star for CPS & “xyz’s” finest. I’m sorry why do we pay our state taxes to line their pockets again? Know what the worst part is?! These parents NEVER get harsh punishment… almost NEVER. Especially in these high profile abuse cases! Look at Elisa Isquierda & poor NyxMary Brown. Those disgusting animals should have gotten life without parole but did they!? Nope! A drug mule would get more time & those 4 “parents” Murdered their daughters. Thank goodness these babies got away safely. I hope they can begin to heal & stay with loving & trustworthy family.

  6. have watched enough of the eight passengers videos to see how this little boy was so emotional and took on blame tragically. This child has not only been physically abuse. He has been mentally abused, and my sense is that he is the type of child that would take on the responsibility for all the guilt that his mother put on him. My heart breaks for that little boy.
