INTERVIEW: Kevin Franke speaks to media for the first time since Ruby Franke's sentencing

🇺🇸 ~ Way too many on the right wing political side believe government and everybody else is after them. So I am glad he is speaking out. When people have certain ideologies it’s easier to believe everybody’s after them then to understand maybe they are the ones who are not in the right place.b
When you haven’t seen your kids in a year and CPS calls you - you don’t ignore it. He was complicit and needs to take accountability. What a narcissist.

All of the abuse he's describing was happening after his wife and Hildebrant told him to move out of the family home, which he agreed to do in an effort to save his relationship with his now ex wife.

Oh, I just know this interview is going to have me in an unholy rage. He abandoned his children to a lady he believed was possessed by demons who took over master bedroom, the top floor of his house, and ultimately his wife and babies. He handed them over on a platter to a woman he actually believed was possessed by demons. Just so he could have his freedom to do whatever. Just so he could feel free of responsibility. Just so he could show up here today and pretend to be a victim. This man has NO ability to be a father, protector, provider.

If he cannot get that part right his attempt at being a father will forever fail. The only reason the youngest are still alive is because of RF,Shari and a couple of complete strangers. He played no part in saving them at all from further abuse. For his part? It was Shari, he directly abused the most. Should she forgive him? I don't know? His using her name because his is mud in court? As if he appears with her seal of approval? Makes me very uncomfortable. Without publicly acknowledging how he tormented his daughter whose intentions were always good? Yes, I am very uncomfortable with his failure to admit all of the truth. Not just the parts that make him appear....like Shari because there are none. In time? There is a sliver of hope. Still waiting for it. For his sake.

@@nicoleschlink9195 I recommend listening to interviews with other men that were in Jodi’s classes. Her main goal with woman she liked was to push the husband away as much as possible and tear the husband down to nothing.

Well, once he left the home, he should have been able to see things more clearly. I call BS on his excuses.
Does he take any accountability for anything?

Also the church that referred Jody. These are very small churches in small community areas. Everybody knows everybody. There is no way that people did not know that Jodi was advocating for and committing abu*e. What her niece said proves that to be true.

Well NO .. he doesn't seem to
Formulaic. Not believable. No thank you.
Feel so terrible about what his children went through.. if only this guy checked on then even once .. sorry but this guy should be in jail
Oh, Kevin just SU and don't allow Ruby, JH or anyone from the LDS church near your children , until they decide the opposite. SU!!! NBC what you have to say now... Btw you're blaming everybody but you. You are responsible, the LDS church is responsible as well. So SU!!. And count your losses

He is complicit
There needs to be a country-wide “Children’s Rights” movement
This guy was pulling the same thing as his wife. For years. She only got caught. Somehow this man was allowed to escape the abuses.
Keep going, Kevin, and keep digging deeper while accepting responsibility. Be ruthless with yourself and live your apology to your children. People will rightfully so question your motives and your sincerity. Just keep owning your part. The crimes against your children injured us all.
Are we just skating over the Mormon church having partial blame for not only sanctioning Jodi as a therapist but also *referring* people to her for therapy?
What grown man avoids his children for 1 year. Get some balls and don,t listen to crazy people. If you question if something is wrong ask other healthy FAMILY men
He also had a responsibility to his kids.
The he government doesn’t need to parent our children, he just feels guilty because he didn’t man up to this woman.
Gross. He's just as responsible for harming his family as his wife Ruby. This is called attempted deflection of responsibility and attempted damage control (imho of course). Again, super gross. 🤨

Yes, it’s repulsive.
Child services could not enter the home to protect the children, but you could. Have some personal accountability, and good luck changing the 4th Amendment 😂
