Kevin Franke and his two oldest children have opened up for the first time together to tell their story of living with infamous vlogger Ruby Franke. Hulu's docuseries Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke reveal the disturbing details of the abuse endured by the Franke children and how husband Kevin was isolated from his children during his year-long separation from their mother.

We learned of the horrendous abused when Franke's 12-year-old son climbs out of a window in a home, belonging to Franke's business partner Jodi Hildebrandt. The boy running to neighbors begging for food and water.

Neighbors called police. Officers said the boy looked emaciated and malnourished. Cops also noted that the boy had “deep lacerations from being tied up with rope” and duct tape around his wrists and ankles.. After searching Hildebrandt’s home, police found Franke’s 10-year-old daughter in a similar condition. Both children were taken to a hospital.

Franke's parenting channel "8 Passengers," which at one time boasted over 2 million followers, doled out parenting advice, and in her video, she admits to withholding food as a form of punishment.

Both women charged and convicted with aggravated child abuse. Kevin Frank admits he is still in love with his soon-to-be ex-wife.
