Shari Franke shares her emotional confrontation with Ruby after calling child protective services to protect her siblings from abuse
Utah: Shari Franke has opened up about the tough conversation she had with her mom, Ruby Franke, after calling child protective services. It’s a pretty intense story.
In her new memoir, Shari dives into her complicated relationship with Ruby, who’s known for her controversial parenting. Ruby was sentenced to 30 years in prison for abusing her kids, which is just heartbreaking.
Shari recalls the moment she called CPS, hoping to protect her younger siblings. Ruby was furious, claiming Shari was selfish for betraying her. It was a tough moment for Shari, but she stood her ground, insisting it was about her siblings’ safety.
Ruby accused Shari of needing attention and said her kids were fine. Can you believe that? Shari felt a mix of emotions, but she reminded herself that she was doing the right thing.
Things escalated, with Ruby telling Shari she was just a child and that her siblings were scared of her now. It’s wild how Ruby twisted the situation to make it about herself.
Shari pushed back, saying she wouldn’t apologize for telling the truth. It’s clear she was really hurt but also determined to protect her siblings.
After Ruby’s arrest, she admitted to some pretty awful things in court. She tried to convince her kids they were evil and punished them in terrible ways, which she bizarrely called “acts of love.”
Shari later spoke to lawmakers about the dangers of family vlogging, sharing how it affected her childhood. She wishes she could have had a normal upbringing instead of having her life broadcasted online.
It’s a tough story, but Shari’s bravery in speaking out is inspiring. She’s really trying to make a difference for other kids in similar situations.
