I saw a "20/20" show about this case - I wasn't familiar with it before the episode, so it was all new to me, and it was fascinating and horrifying in equal measure. And yet I wasn't surprised by so much of it, either, like, of coursethere's a super religious element to this kind of thing, of course it's got this creepy cult-like aspect (the accomplice's videos reminded me so much of those MLM "self-help" meetups that are basically a cover for drawing people into cults)...it just all seemed so textbook.

And yeah, the accomplice was a real piece of work, holy shit. I did have to laugh at the sheer irony of her winding up in a jail that was literally called Purgatory, though. I also wholeheartedly agree that Ruby isn't as manipulated as her defense has tried to claim. The accomplice simply tapped into elements of Ruby that wre already there. It felt like one of those "folie a deux" type scenarios, two people basically feeding off each other.

And yeah, I don't follow YouTubers in general, and I've never delved into the parenting types of videso that people iike Ruby did, but they've always been off-putting to me precisely because of the fact the kids are pretty much shoved into the spotlight, and then you take that and the way social media can totally fuck people up and the horrible shit that people encounter on participate in on there and..yeah. I can't say I'm surprised that a story like Ruby's results from it. And I've no doubt she's not the only parent of that sort who's got some abusive history lurking somewhere. I do not get the point or appeal of this kind of thing at all and I too fully agree there needs to be a LOT more regulation and cracking down on this kind of thing.
