What happens when the picture-perfect family life portrayed online hides a much darker reality? Ruby Franke, once a beloved family vlogger, and her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt now stand convicted of aggravated child abuse, their twisted dynamic exposed in the wake of Sherry Franke's memoir, The House of My Mother. Sherry’s story offers a harrowing glimpse into the alleged horrors she and her siblings endured, while peeling back the layers of manipulation, control, and the cult-like influence Jodi seemingly wielded over Ruby.
But it’s not just about Ruby and Jodi—it’s about the cost of family vlogging, the exploitation of children for clicks, and the dangerous line between parenting and profiting. With allegations of grooming, isolation, and a chilling level of control, how do we draw the line between sharing family life and selling it? Should children have a say in their digital presence, or is it all just the price of parental ambition?
And what about you—how far is too far when it comes to family life on the internet?
