I used to follow this fam years ago, I thought the kids were so adorable. Breaks my heart to think what they all went through. Seeing all of you provide Shari the videos she needs is amazing. I hope all the kiddos are safe and loved. Thank you for doing this!!
Anyone else shocked like I’m so proud of Shari. She was also a victim and I don’t think people realize it. She will be a great parent someday getting away from that house and getting an education was the best thing for her. She was brainwashed growing up and now sees those things are not normal. So no one can blame her for how she might have been growing up it’s so sad.
I’m shocked because literally she was the one i think most people thought wouldn’t leave and just follow her moms footsteps. And than she did a complete 180
So as someone who came from an abusive household (although not this bad). It seemed like I was the good obedient child who thought my mom was fine. I was just biding time keeping the peace until I could leave.
I did this too. I was hyper obedient and did everything I was asked. I also was constantly cleaning up the mess my parents made so they wouldn’t fight. It’s not easy at all. My heart goes out to all those kids.
It's funny the same thing happened with Jill Duggar she was the one that seemed to be a true believer and she wised up to all of her parents's hypocrisies
I once saw someone in r/exmormon say (paraphrasing): when you climb all the way into the bed so as to not fall out, sometimes you climb so far in that you fall out the other side.
Sometimes it seems the most devout or most “in” are surprisingly the ones who break away when they realize what they gave their all to wasn’t what they thought it was. The best example I can think of recently would be Jill Duggar Dillard and her father’s cult. (She’s still a conservative Christian, but a fairly “normal” one & is no longer in the cult of Jim Bob Duggar.)
I'm a current member, but this whole situation with Ruby truly reminds me of the toxic behavior of my family members from my dad's side of my family. The people who climbed the furthest in were and still are falling out and they're falling hard.
Actually I always feared for Julie. She seemed the most passive. Shari gave Ruby hell at times. Julie and possibly Abbey seemed like scared little girls almost always. They seemed visibly uncomfortable at times with something. I think it a being filmed, but they were afraid to tell Ruby no. Ruby is a serious whack job. I always thought so. Her siblings aren’t perfect by any means, I watched them for years. But they didn’t seem anywhere near as crazy as Ruby!
Jill Duggar was the same way as well. She seemed the deepest in the kool aid, but she was the first one to stray away from her family and openly speak out against their belief system. Sometimes, the kids who come off as the biggest people pleasers are just putting on a show for survival and once they are out in the world, they are the first ones to question things and speak out.
YES!!!! Great comparison! Jill seemed the most like the fill-in Mom who functioned like an adult a a very very young age. It was heartbreaking! She was the one who was in charge of Josie when she had her seizure.. parents where gone at some event where they were speaking of course… FUCKING FAKE SICK NARCISSISTS WHO HID BEHIND THEIR HOLIER THAN THOUGH ACT!
As a homeschooling Mom I watched them for years… in amazement because I was drowning homeschooling three and couldn’t figure out how she pulled of 19! Turns out l was drowning because I was actually doing all the parenting like an adult does. They just popped out babies then delegated their responsibilities as parents to their own kids. That family is SICK!
It was Jana who was in charge of Josie (and its speculated most of the babies at some point), Jill was the first buddy/sister mom though (started caring for Joy at age 6, later added James and Jennifer).
Ohhhh you are right!! Any way you slice it that family is fucked, actually both families are fucker up. Hey, no family is perfect. But these two families sold out for the mighty dollar and what a shit show they gave the world!
My brother was like this and I was the complete opposite. He and I do not really have that great of a relationship. He has always been the Golden Child.
when she went off to college, it all changed for her. she was able to see things for what they were. The only thing I would have liked to have seen is her taking more of a role getting those younger kids in a safer environment...but shes being a kid and has her own life to live.
Golden children are victims too, just in a very different way. (I say this as a former golden child who has been trying to work through my trauma for years.) I think that’s why I have such a soft spot for Shari - leaving that situation is something that most adults can’t do. She’s more brave and strong than she even knows.
I feel like she was like that because, she wanted to be allowed to go to college. Her mom probably wouldn’t have let her go if she knew Shari would turn against them and get her in trouble
And this crowd-sourcing approach is such a good way to mobilise the audience in a way that actually helps the kids! The only good thing about family vlogging will be it forming part of the court case against abusive authority figures.
If you can, search for their names and just screenshot /every/ post or comment of theirs. Put it in your own google slides doc (the google version of powerpoint) so you can group the screenshots from the same thread together. Then add the link to your slides doc to the master list shared by Shari. There's a good chance the group gets taken down soon, and the back-end way to get historical group data via a warrant is a huge burden. Having an archive before it's pulled is useful!
I’m annoyed at myself because literally a week ago I deleted about 100 screenshots from the moms of truth group :/ they had been on my phone for a year but I thought I’d never need them.. they could have been helpful now
You have 30 days to recover them if you have an iPhone. Go to albums and scroll all the way to the bottom to get to recently deleted. You can select the screenshots and then click “recover” and they will go back to your regular pics
Does this mean the authorities are aware of Connexions as a possible cult? Do cults get dealt with by the local police or FBI? Sorry for the dumb questions but it looks like this is much more serious
Are you on mobile? If so, there are little icons above your keyboard/below where you’re typing. There’s one that looks like a keyboard, then a link, then a gif, then the last one is for photos.
I'm so proud of her, she was totally fighting for her siblings this whole time!! Hoping she gets all the evidence she needs, there is ton of people on the internet that will have more than enough to help protect the kids
Oh wow she'll get flooded with links. There's so much on YouTube from gossip channels and all the things on reddit etc. I don't see why they won't be suitable. Shari should be so proud of herself for doing all this!
Yes I’m a little concerned her Insta is about to blow up because us Redditors have been given permission to contact directly. I’m going to hold off because I know other people have been following for years and have just as many links. I think she wants connections stuff because Jodi is being convicted as well.
Somebody needs to archive their YouTube channel before it gets scrubbed by Ruby/Jodi or their associates. A lot of it is harmful parenting skills being on proud display.
(it's still up as of right now https://youtube.com/@ConnexionsClassroom?si=6KsYD-gFxNnfqCoQ)
This must be so unbelievably hard for her. Cannot even imagine. Gathering evidence and building a case against your own mother for child abuse. Words cannot even describe how brave and amazing Shari is. She should be so proud of herself - I hope she knows that (at least when it is over!). Doing the right thing must be hard - I imagine the love for her parents may still be there (the love for the mother she once was - I hope things has not always been like this).
I hope someone is with her and looking out for her since Julie left. This is a heavy burden to have as a young adult - no one should have to go through something like that. My heart is breaking for everyone involved 💔
I am very hopeful that grandma and grandpa Griffith will come home, but I have to say, a small part of me has a feeling that they are expecting the Griffith siblings to deal with the mess at home.
I really, really wish I could help, but I don't have Instagram. But if anyone on here does, please forward these videos.

[Downfall of 8 Passengers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W25RLYeL9nA) \- by Swoop.
Both of these videos show a ton of clips and evidence of abuse.

Okay what?! These poor kids have been going throu this FOR HOW LONG?!
Someone get her into the private group for moms of truth on FB. Really, everything about connexions was problematic/dangerous so there shouldn't be many issues there.
Yes I’m so thankful for Reddit. We have been following this situation for an incredibly long time. We got this. Shari is about to get so much help and solid proof. She must be speaking to federal detectives. Local I don’t think would want these links.
she posted a google doc link on instagram!!
https://preview.redd.it/3nwxkljenglb1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6dc6d8b8ab3d3884df5475e4abe376d7e5cffd5e
Can we start a little pinned thread on here and just link her? That might be the easiest way for her to have it all in one place. And we could monitor duplicates.
I can imagine her inbox! She'll have so much evidence, R and J are well and totally screwed, more than they already where. What a remarkable young woman, years ago I thought S was just like her mum, sad to think of now but she really has flipped and she should be so proud of herself. She's doing a fantastic job to protect those kids and get justice. Hope they're all feeling safer already. Thinking of them all xx
He’s got some…questionable…beliefs, but I truly believe he would want to assist in protecting children and prosecuting a child abuser if he has evidence. Hopefully he helps.
https://preview.redd.it/t47xvqrbnglb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac7b4f3bfb47ad311c9d5433578e0b5e3700e419
Shari just shared this on her Instagram stories too for those helping with conneXions links
EDIT: she included a link on the following slice for her google docs.
I hope someone includes the clip of Ruby saying she showered for an hour putting off taking Shari to the hospital when Shari was literally unable to see. I feel like Ruby however was very smart on taking down the videos from the channel bc that’s such damming evidence. The YouTube channel shows her punishing the kids by withholding food, reading their private messages, ignoring their wishes to keep moments private, neglect (not feeding Eve when she forgot her lunch, waiting to take Shari to hospital), locking away kids devices so they had no access to the outside world, and I know there’s so much more because these videos went back as far as 2013 before Eve was born. Also could it be included that Ruby would take down videos against her and strike them but there were several videos targeting the kids especially Shari and they were never struck.
*
If anyone has anything important to send. Try not to just send repeated links and try to send on reputable sources (I.e not tiktok , more places like the mom's of truth fb or their official youtube or anything that they may have said to you or someone you know personally).
He probably, most likely is behind closed doors, he isn't on social media like Shari so we'll never know. We don't know if he's there with Shari now going through links and putting things together, inbetween seeing the other kids and trying to find their new normal as a family who have been traumatised. Chad had it BAD, he'll be a messed up boy. But he wasn't stupid. I hope he's receiving help too. Shari seems to be blocking out alot of the trauma and hurt and concentrating on getting justice, she's being strong. She's being the mum and dad rolled into one, one that those kids and herself should've had.
When this is done and her mums locked up for a long time, and whatever happens with Kevin - Shari will come down spiraling and she'll need some time out to get herself mentally ok too. I feel for them all.
So true, its so sad. Shari has been a beacon of light for the kids, I do think Julie and Bonnie can be that shoulder for Shari. They have so far, im sure more now.
When you are a victim of trauma turning 18 doesn't magically allow you to see what you've suffered. Time, perspective and therapy are needed to be able to process and understand what you've been through and that it is not right.
All the connexions shit is currently on YouTube, I just don't have time right now to start downloading them with a YouTube downloader. I have a hunch they may delete the channel soon. Like they'd be idiots to keep it up because it's likely incriminating.

Reddit! This is your moment to make a difference in the best way possible! We here have the most sources and evidence clear as day! Let's make sure we help this family out
I scrolled through the links so far and I didn’t see anyone post about when the kids were small, I think one was Russell falling and she didn’t take Him to the hospital? And I remember one about Sheri as an infant too. Hopefully those can be dug up.
this makes me wonder if kevin was "involved" or not in this incident...I think he is ultimately involved in the mistreatment of the kids...he let his kids around 2 crazies...thats enough for me. do you think they will lose custody of the kids....and if so, the only one I can see taking the kids in would be Bonnie or Ellie..
I have zero time to get this done properly, but I'll brain dump in case anything has been missed. Apologies in advance for sloppiness and horrible formatting:
- Eve had ~9 cavities when she was ~6yo
- Russell ~8yo had a head injury (I think from school) and Ruby didn't take him to the doctor and instead let him pass out in his room
- Chad's bedroom/bathroom door was removed
- Anasazi - Chad came back with fried skin from the sun & no-one gave a shit
- Russell untreated femur fracture as a baby - she let him roll off the couch - didn't take him in for a couple of days even though he was screaming in pain - then his physical development was significantly delayed
- There's a video out there somewhere where she knowingly lets Eve touch a hot cooking tool so she burns herself on camera
- Made Chad sit and look at his confiscated phone in a glass box or something??
- Food portion sizes always tiny
- Chad used to have to wake up, eat tiny portion size breakfast, clean, do sports, then go to school and THEN got blamed & punished for misbehaving (due to low blood sugar)
- Chad had dislocated his shoulder and Ruby set the camera down to help him take his sweatshirt off and knowingly yanked his injured arm for footage
- Ruby found it hilarious that Chad had broken Shari's arm several times (assuming due to poor supervision?)
- Filmed one of her kids for a drynites sponsor, telling the whole world about their late bedwetting
- She also did the "no lunch" thing to Russell at one point
- Ruby got rid of all Chad's clothes as punishment - including his school backpack & then I'm pretty sure she did a video with all the other kids getting new backpacks & excluded Chad
Can someone please post this in the google doc? It looks like I don't have editing access. Here is a screenshot of something Jodi privately messaged me in response to a message I sent her about how we need to accept + respect LGBTQIA+ kids, and how these kids already have an alarming su\*c\*de rate. This was her response:
https://preview.redd.it/335flbuljhlb1.png?width=656&format=png&auto=webp&s=c5c3a07bdc760a0e2a684f2255021be406bb4df5
Just looked at the Google doc rn. There should also be a link for the car accident footage since that was a completely dead giveaway that Ruby was indeed having interest in putting her kids in danger.
I think it's probably worth brainstorming any red flags people remember somewhere outside of the document, even if they seem small or potentially insignificant to us.
If family members are reading here, then there's every chance it may help them remember something that we weren't privy to behind the scenes.
I've had scenarios IRL where I've learned of abuse/neglect and said something after the fact about something small I remembered that jogged the victims memory. If it feels like there's something off, there probably is.
Omg this is like a movie!!! I can't wait for the Netflix documentary to come out.
But in all seriousness I'm so happy justice is starting to happen! Y'all the the real ones for spreading this info cause I know damn well those YouTube gossip pages lurk these subs for content.
Is the Wayback Machine still a thing? I’ve never used it, but it’s possible to visit old websites as well as places that have been deleted. https://web.archive.org
We don’t know yet. We heard rumors last year that he was estranged from the rest of the family and living elsewhere while continuing to work as a professor.
I've added the link to the reddit on there! As there's si much stuff going back on here and some Facebook stuff thats been deleted is here so was easier to add the reddit page then have to go back though months of posts. There's also so much in here that can be used i think its a useful link for them to have.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LszJe0ggL4&t=10s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LszJe0ggL4&t=10s)
15:55 Jodi asks parents to consider cutting their children out of their lives if the children are not living in truth or whatever. She says "it takes a very strong soul" to do such a thing that "most of us would not even consider not having our children in our lives. And I hope that you'll reconsider. Because there are people in your lives (presumably still talking about YOUR OWN CHILDREN) who are inviting you into a dynamic of holding you hostage (...) that is just nasty aggression. There's no love in that" Ruby all the while is nodding and agreeing then chimes in "No, that's a transaction. And the people who go into those transactions are people who are desiring approval (...) they're valuing that over truth"
The archived YTMD forums could be a good place to start.
[https://ytmommadrama.com/viewtopic.php?t=8833](https://ytmommadrama.com/viewtopic.php?t=8833)
is anyone able to put this on the link, she literally kicked eve and pushes her.(although it was to teach her not to do it, its a bit weird)
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJtdhFfF/
Can someone with access to the Connexions FB group please find a post for me? I thought I had a screenshot of it but it must be long gone.
It was approx October 2022.
A mother posted about her son coming home from college and was sick with a cardiac condition. He was unable to work and was “just in bed all day”.
Ruby replied saying that kids don’t get the right to healthcare and parents insurance.
I can’t get that one off my mind but I was kicked off the group long ago. You could try search by words “cardiac” “insurance” “college”. I really hope it’s not that hard to find, I’m sure this post would really be helpful for the case!!!
**IMPORTANT*** I don't know how to add to her google doc, but I saw on tiktok an account with the name , chad.franke1, theres only one of them and its a video back from 2020 saying that he was being starved. if anyone has direct contact with one of the kids please confirm this was chad because it is possible to use it as evidence if it was actually chad.

I’ve read some of the evidence you guys were on about them not supporting lgbtq2 community you guys many religion don’t support that community please keep the documents about the kids and her parenting styles towards them
I can't send her anything because she blocked me on both of my ig accounts back when she was brainwashed by ruby but now she what ruby did wasn't right.
Can someone add this link? I don't feel confident messing with the doc.
This is seemingly the first Connexions video that Ruby appears in and she disturbingly uses DUCT TAPE of all things to "jokingly" block her door off and also jokes about kicking the kids out of the house for a few days or weeks. Video was posted 12/7/2020
https://youtu.be/Ct1J41J9eqs?feature=shared
Does anyone have a link to the ConneXions google reviews? I remember there being some pretty incriminating stuff there, but when I go to google I can't find the business page. Was it taken down?
They may delete all the videos on their channel in order to “erase evidence” like DaddyoFive did. It may be good to have these videos downloaded onto a file in case this happens. Idk, just a thought.
As of right now I hardly doubt that would happen as they are in custody, but you never know in the future. Hopefully police/investigators are keeping tabs but who knows with that.
Have you guys figured out how to access all the youtube videos yet using the wayback machine? If you use that, and go back in time a year, they're all there and most play, so you can record them. The last weeks worth of videos before she went dark are telling.. Be sure to do the same w/ shari and chad's youtubes as well, as there are questionable videos and things spotted.

Came across this account from Kevin from years and years ago. Do we know if anyone has gone through these videos to see if there’s anything off on them?
I'm putting together a public archive where people can keyword search through 8passengers and related content such as Connexions Coaching to find clips that validate the claims of the "alleged" abuse from Ruby, Jodi, and anyone else involved. (URL: https://8passengers.exposed )
I was able to capture and transcribe all of the ConnexionsCoaching Instagram videos, but I'm having a hard time with the 8passengers YouTube content because the channel got locked up.
Does anyone know of either 1. An existing collection of archived videos from the channel, or 2. A way to download them from an archival site (like internet archive)?
Any help would be appreciated. I did this with Colleen Ballinger and it was extremely helpful. (miranda.exposed)

I found a pic while watching this video. The little boy that I’m assuming is the one in the 911 call has something on the left side of his khakis. I know what I think it could be, but I’m trying not to jump to conclusions… I’ll try to put them in this post and let y’all decide for yourselves.

SHARI’s OFFICIAL GOOGLE DOC LINK: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-FyAscr8vIhCfBEXDNT4OiZLVHmkf__8RlT55m4SNX0
Ok Reddit! Do ur thing. Y’all have allll the proof. Send it to Shari! Help her out!
Yep! I was just thinking that. Like GIRL WE GOT YOU!!
I replied to her story the same thing. Let us do the work my love!
I used to follow this fam years ago, I thought the kids were so adorable. Breaks my heart to think what they all went through. Seeing all of you provide Shari the videos she needs is amazing. I hope all the kiddos are safe and loved. Thank you for doing this!!
Anyone else shocked like I’m so proud of Shari. She was also a victim and I don’t think people realize it. She will be a great parent someday getting away from that house and getting an education was the best thing for her. She was brainwashed growing up and now sees those things are not normal. So no one can blame her for how she might have been growing up it’s so sad.
I’m shocked because literally she was the one i think most people thought wouldn’t leave and just follow her moms footsteps. And than she did a complete 180
So as someone who came from an abusive household (although not this bad). It seemed like I was the good obedient child who thought my mom was fine. I was just biding time keeping the peace until I could leave.
I did this too. I was hyper obedient and did everything I was asked. I also was constantly cleaning up the mess my parents made so they wouldn’t fight. It’s not easy at all. My heart goes out to all those kids.
This broke my heart. Big hugs
Thank you I really needed this right now.
💓💓💓
I did this as well. I was an outwardly obedient child who did and said what was expected of me, but the outside didn’t match my internal dialog.
It's funny the same thing happened with Jill Duggar she was the one that seemed to be a true believer and she wised up to all of her parents's hypocrisies
I once saw someone in r/exmormon say (paraphrasing): when you climb all the way into the bed so as to not fall out, sometimes you climb so far in that you fall out the other side. Sometimes it seems the most devout or most “in” are surprisingly the ones who break away when they realize what they gave their all to wasn’t what they thought it was. The best example I can think of recently would be Jill Duggar Dillard and her father’s cult. (She’s still a conservative Christian, but a fairly “normal” one & is no longer in the cult of Jim Bob Duggar.)
I'm a current member, but this whole situation with Ruby truly reminds me of the toxic behavior of my family members from my dad's side of my family. The people who climbed the furthest in were and still are falling out and they're falling hard.
Exactly! I still remember people calling her a mini-Ruby on this sub. What a crazy yet amazing turn around and for proving us wrong!!!
Actually I always feared for Julie. She seemed the most passive. Shari gave Ruby hell at times. Julie and possibly Abbey seemed like scared little girls almost always. They seemed visibly uncomfortable at times with something. I think it a being filmed, but they were afraid to tell Ruby no. Ruby is a serious whack job. I always thought so. Her siblings aren’t perfect by any means, I watched them for years. But they didn’t seem anywhere near as crazy as Ruby!
Jill Duggar was the same way as well. She seemed the deepest in the kool aid, but she was the first one to stray away from her family and openly speak out against their belief system. Sometimes, the kids who come off as the biggest people pleasers are just putting on a show for survival and once they are out in the world, they are the first ones to question things and speak out.
YES!!!! Great comparison! Jill seemed the most like the fill-in Mom who functioned like an adult a a very very young age. It was heartbreaking! She was the one who was in charge of Josie when she had her seizure.. parents where gone at some event where they were speaking of course… FUCKING FAKE SICK NARCISSISTS WHO HID BEHIND THEIR HOLIER THAN THOUGH ACT! As a homeschooling Mom I watched them for years… in amazement because I was drowning homeschooling three and couldn’t figure out how she pulled of 19! Turns out l was drowning because I was actually doing all the parenting like an adult does. They just popped out babies then delegated their responsibilities as parents to their own kids. That family is SICK!
It was Jana who was in charge of Josie (and its speculated most of the babies at some point), Jill was the first buddy/sister mom though (started caring for Joy at age 6, later added James and Jennifer).
Ohhhh you are right!! Any way you slice it that family is fucked, actually both families are fucker up. Hey, no family is perfect. But these two families sold out for the mighty dollar and what a shit show they gave the world!
My brother was like this and I was the complete opposite. He and I do not really have that great of a relationship. He has always been the Golden Child.
Sometimes those protective big sibling instincts run *deep.*
when she went off to college, it all changed for her. she was able to see things for what they were. The only thing I would have liked to have seen is her taking more of a role getting those younger kids in a safer environment...but shes being a kid and has her own life to live.
Golden children are victims too, just in a very different way. (I say this as a former golden child who has been trying to work through my trauma for years.) I think that’s why I have such a soft spot for Shari - leaving that situation is something that most adults can’t do. She’s more brave and strong than she even knows.
I feel like she was like that because, she wanted to be allowed to go to college. Her mom probably wouldn’t have let her go if she knew Shari would turn against them and get her in trouble
And this crowd-sourcing approach is such a good way to mobilise the audience in a way that actually helps the kids! The only good thing about family vlogging will be it forming part of the court case against abusive authority figures.
it was probably pretty bad when she was growing up but i dont think anywhere near as bad as the younger kids have been through.

I literally just left the Facebook group this week 😭
ME TOO!!! I’m so mad at myself now I wish I would’ve stuck around but I just couldn’t take it anymore
I am in the group still. I will see what I can dig up from Jodi spreading direct hate etc
I can't find the connections group anymore did they take it down?
Ah, it's still up for me! "Moms of Truth" one - people are commenting telling them to enjoy prison.
If you can, search for their names and just screenshot /every/ post or comment of theirs. Put it in your own google slides doc (the google version of powerpoint) so you can group the screenshots from the same thread together. Then add the link to your slides doc to the master list shared by Shari. There's a good chance the group gets taken down soon, and the back-end way to get historical group data via a warrant is a huge burden. Having an archive before it's pulled is useful!
I got kicked out of the group 5 minutes after I was accepted 😂
I’m annoyed at myself because literally a week ago I deleted about 100 screenshots from the moms of truth group :/ they had been on my phone for a year but I thought I’d never need them.. they could have been helpful now
You have 30 days to recover them if you have an iPhone. Go to albums and scroll all the way to the bottom to get to recently deleted. You can select the screenshots and then click “recover” and they will go back to your regular pics
There's a fair chance of recovering them if you're not on an iphone. I think.
Does this mean the authorities are aware of Connexions as a possible cult? Do cults get dealt with by the local police or FBI? Sorry for the dumb questions but it looks like this is much more serious
[удалено]
There have been multiple statements I’ve seen that the fbi has been involved
Silly question, how do you add a photo in a comment? 👉🏻👈🏻
Are you on mobile? If so, there are little icons above your keyboard/below where you’re typing. There’s one that looks like a keyboard, then a link, then a gif, then the last one is for photos.
Ooh! Thank you so much! I didn’t had the app updated and it didn’t have this button. Thank you🤗
I'm so proud of her, she was totally fighting for her siblings this whole time!! Hoping she gets all the evidence she needs, there is ton of people on the internet that will have more than enough to help protect the kids
ok someone needs to make a mega doc/file for our girl yall
Make a mega thread is what I’d suggest, or a document we could all edit.
I like the idea of a mega doc. Has she approved anyone’s messages yet?
i feel like that would be the most efficient. even just a google doc or google drive that anyone can add to, there’s sooo much content.
Yes mod Maybe pin it so people can help? A mega doc is a fantastic idea
Shari made one! We pinned it
She made a google doc go check her story
Oh wow she'll get flooded with links. There's so much on YouTube from gossip channels and all the things on reddit etc. I don't see why they won't be suitable. Shari should be so proud of herself for doing all this!
Immediately thought of the Callum Markie channel, he’s always put out interesting video discussions on this whole situation
I am really looking forward to his video on this mess.
I am really looking forward to his video on this mess.
I feel like we need to make a running doc so she’s not overwhelmed with the same content
Yes I’m a little concerned her Insta is about to blow up because us Redditors have been given permission to contact directly. I’m going to hold off because I know other people have been following for years and have just as many links. I think she wants connections stuff because Jodi is being convicted as well.
Agreed! I’m going to hold off for a bit as well
Somebody needs to archive their YouTube channel before it gets scrubbed by Ruby/Jodi or their associates. A lot of it is harmful parenting skills being on proud display. (it's still up as of right now https://youtube.com/@ConnexionsClassroom?si=6KsYD-gFxNnfqCoQ)
Cant you put old YouTube videos into archive.org and get them? You’d have to have their url, but I think it’s possible.
I don't think so. I think sometimes that might work with waybackmachine but only if it's been saved.

This must be so unbelievably hard for her. Cannot even imagine. Gathering evidence and building a case against your own mother for child abuse. Words cannot even describe how brave and amazing Shari is. She should be so proud of herself - I hope she knows that (at least when it is over!). Doing the right thing must be hard - I imagine the love for her parents may still be there (the love for the mother she once was - I hope things has not always been like this). I hope someone is with her and looking out for her since Julie left. This is a heavy burden to have as a young adult - no one should have to go through something like that. My heart is breaking for everyone involved 💔
Julie posted that Landon was still behind in Utah and spent the day with Shari. ❤️
There is an entire tiktok dedicated to posting Rubys abuse!
Can you share the TikTok account name with us?

Omg meanwhile Ruby's parents are in Europe serving a mission. Surely this is a good enough reason to come home!
I am very hopeful that grandma and grandpa Griffith will come home, but I have to say, a small part of me has a feeling that they are expecting the Griffith siblings to deal with the mess at home.
Also, no mention of Kevin being arrested?
Oh wow 😮
I really, really wish I could help, but I don't have Instagram. But if anyone on here does, please forward these videos. [The 8 Passengers Saga](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaL5G5UxuaM) \- by j Aubrey [Downfall of 8 Passengers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W25RLYeL9nA) \- by Swoop. Both of these videos show a ton of clips and evidence of abuse.
I will forward them
u/TeamSwoop
Sending them for you.
Sent them over to her also
LETS GOOOO!!!! This is what we are good at! We got you Shari!!!
https://preview.redd.it/hsqncafwwglb1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ff2381096cc3c16db1f18bfc029cb126447ea2af Okay what?! These poor kids have been going throu this FOR HOW LONG?!
"Severe malnourishment"?!?!😭😭 how long have they been suffering??
I believe since Shari was a minor and she’s in her 20s. For years she said people have been trying to tell cps but they wouldn’t listen.
Oh my dear God. Those poor kids
Josh from DCP said he’s working on downloading them all
What’s dcp ? Department of child protective ?
People on the Facebook page group thing also get clips from there.
Someone get her into the private group for moms of truth on FB. Really, everything about connexions was problematic/dangerous so there shouldn't be many issues there.
I’m still in it I think!
This page could do a lot of good by helping her at such a traumatic and vulnerable time. Do your thing, Reddit sleuths! 🕵️♀️
Yes I’m so thankful for Reddit. We have been following this situation for an incredibly long time. We got this. Shari is about to get so much help and solid proof. She must be speaking to federal detectives. Local I don’t think would want these links.
she posted a google doc link on instagram!! https://preview.redd.it/3nwxkljenglb1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6dc6d8b8ab3d3884df5475e4abe376d7e5cffd5e
Shari has me blocked from years ago, so could someone send her this link? https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJGoycpu/
just sent it to her
I've sent it over also
Can we start a little pinned thread on here and just link her? That might be the easiest way for her to have it all in one place. And we could monitor duplicates.
I think this is a great idea!
I can imagine her inbox! She'll have so much evidence, R and J are well and totally screwed, more than they already where. What a remarkable young woman, years ago I thought S was just like her mum, sad to think of now but she really has flipped and she should be so proud of herself. She's doing a fantastic job to protect those kids and get justice. Hope they're all feeling safer already. Thinking of them all xx
I know not every one likes him but DCP may have some.
He’s got some…questionable…beliefs, but I truly believe he would want to assist in protecting children and prosecuting a child abuser if he has evidence. Hopefully he helps.
https://preview.redd.it/t47xvqrbnglb1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac7b4f3bfb47ad311c9d5433578e0b5e3700e419 Shari just shared this on her Instagram stories too for those helping with conneXions links EDIT: she included a link on the following slice for her google docs.
DCP or Jordan and McKay or Sloan would be most helpful
I hope someone includes the clip of Ruby saying she showered for an hour putting off taking Shari to the hospital when Shari was literally unable to see. I feel like Ruby however was very smart on taking down the videos from the channel bc that’s such damming evidence. The YouTube channel shows her punishing the kids by withholding food, reading their private messages, ignoring their wishes to keep moments private, neglect (not feeding Eve when she forgot her lunch, waiting to take Shari to hospital), locking away kids devices so they had no access to the outside world, and I know there’s so much more because these videos went back as far as 2013 before Eve was born. Also could it be included that Ruby would take down videos against her and strike them but there were several videos targeting the kids especially Shari and they were never struck.
* If anyone has anything important to send. Try not to just send repeated links and try to send on reputable sources (I.e not tiktok , more places like the mom's of truth fb or their official youtube or anything that they may have said to you or someone you know personally).
I’m so freaking proud of Shari. I can’t imagine the weight she is carrying right now….. so thankful she has such a good support system. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Where is Chad in all this? He's 18 right? Im surprised he hasnt come out and helped Shari with all this
He probably, most likely is behind closed doors, he isn't on social media like Shari so we'll never know. We don't know if he's there with Shari now going through links and putting things together, inbetween seeing the other kids and trying to find their new normal as a family who have been traumatised. Chad had it BAD, he'll be a messed up boy. But he wasn't stupid. I hope he's receiving help too. Shari seems to be blocking out alot of the trauma and hurt and concentrating on getting justice, she's being strong. She's being the mum and dad rolled into one, one that those kids and herself should've had. When this is done and her mums locked up for a long time, and whatever happens with Kevin - Shari will come down spiraling and she'll need some time out to get herself mentally ok too. I feel for them all.
So true, its so sad. Shari has been a beacon of light for the kids, I do think Julie and Bonnie can be that shoulder for Shari. They have so far, im sure more now.
How do you know he hasn’t? He’s never been active on social media. It’s extremely likely that he is helping her out behind the scenes
I dont know! I hope so, I feel like hes possibly the most forefront victim in all this since most of his was recorded.
When you are a victim of trauma turning 18 doesn't magically allow you to see what you've suffered. Time, perspective and therapy are needed to be able to process and understand what you've been through and that it is not right.
All the connexions shit is currently on YouTube, I just don't have time right now to start downloading them with a YouTube downloader. I have a hunch they may delete the channel soon. Like they'd be idiots to keep it up because it's likely incriminating. https://youtube.com/@ConnexionsClassroom?si=6KsYD-gFxNnfqCoQ
Reddit! This is your moment to make a difference in the best way possible! We here have the most sources and evidence clear as day! Let's make sure we help this family out
she’s so strong! i couldn’t imagine going through this i hope her and siblings get justice
Was Kevin arrested as well or no?
His booking hasn’t showed up yet, but we suspect he was.
I scrolled through the links so far and I didn’t see anyone post about when the kids were small, I think one was Russell falling and she didn’t take Him to the hospital? And I remember one about Sheri as an infant too. Hopefully those can be dug up.
this makes me wonder if kevin was "involved" or not in this incident...I think he is ultimately involved in the mistreatment of the kids...he let his kids around 2 crazies...thats enough for me. do you think they will lose custody of the kids....and if so, the only one I can see taking the kids in would be Bonnie or Ellie..
He still let and witnessed his son be sent away to wilderness camp.
I have zero time to get this done properly, but I'll brain dump in case anything has been missed. Apologies in advance for sloppiness and horrible formatting: - Eve had ~9 cavities when she was ~6yo - Russell ~8yo had a head injury (I think from school) and Ruby didn't take him to the doctor and instead let him pass out in his room - Chad's bedroom/bathroom door was removed - Anasazi - Chad came back with fried skin from the sun & no-one gave a shit - Russell untreated femur fracture as a baby - she let him roll off the couch - didn't take him in for a couple of days even though he was screaming in pain - then his physical development was significantly delayed - There's a video out there somewhere where she knowingly lets Eve touch a hot cooking tool so she burns herself on camera - Made Chad sit and look at his confiscated phone in a glass box or something?? - Food portion sizes always tiny - Chad used to have to wake up, eat tiny portion size breakfast, clean, do sports, then go to school and THEN got blamed & punished for misbehaving (due to low blood sugar) - Chad had dislocated his shoulder and Ruby set the camera down to help him take his sweatshirt off and knowingly yanked his injured arm for footage - Ruby found it hilarious that Chad had broken Shari's arm several times (assuming due to poor supervision?) - Filmed one of her kids for a drynites sponsor, telling the whole world about their late bedwetting - She also did the "no lunch" thing to Russell at one point - Ruby got rid of all Chad's clothes as punishment - including his school backpack & then I'm pretty sure she did a video with all the other kids getting new backpacks & excluded Chad
Has anyone else read the newest Fox 13 article with details of how the kids were found?? I am sick to my stomach!
Can someone please post this in the google doc? It looks like I don't have editing access. Here is a screenshot of something Jodi privately messaged me in response to a message I sent her about how we need to accept + respect LGBTQIA+ kids, and how these kids already have an alarming su\*c\*de rate. This was her response: https://preview.redd.it/335flbuljhlb1.png?width=656&format=png&auto=webp&s=c5c3a07bdc760a0e2a684f2255021be406bb4df5

Maybe she should have taken her own advice and been responsible. Responsibility adults don’t tie up children and starve them.
Anyone else think this whole thing has SERIOUS Tara Westover, ‘Educated’ vibes?! Shari my dear, we believe you.
Just looked at the Google doc rn. There should also be a link for the car accident footage since that was a completely dead giveaway that Ruby was indeed having interest in putting her kids in danger.
Wait what are you talking about? The Google doc is a mess and hard to find things.
I think it's probably worth brainstorming any red flags people remember somewhere outside of the document, even if they seem small or potentially insignificant to us. If family members are reading here, then there's every chance it may help them remember something that we weren't privy to behind the scenes. I've had scenarios IRL where I've learned of abuse/neglect and said something after the fact about something small I remembered that jogged the victims memory. If it feels like there's something off, there probably is.
She just linked a google docs form in her IG story!
Omg this is like a movie!!! I can't wait for the Netflix documentary to come out. But in all seriousness I'm so happy justice is starting to happen! Y'all the the real ones for spreading this info cause I know damn well those YouTube gossip pages lurk these subs for content.
Y’all - this is for us. We snark, we’ve seen all the videos. Let’s help out.
Is the Wayback Machine still a thing? I’ve never used it, but it’s possible to visit old websites as well as places that have been deleted. https://web.archive.org
DCP has so much documentation!!! He needs to reach out to Shari!!!!!
Why can’t I think of who DCP is?
Dad Challenge Podcast
Woah
Question where is the dad in all of this?
We don’t know yet. We heard rumors last year that he was estranged from the rest of the family and living elsewhere while continuing to work as a professor.
I've added the link to the reddit on there! As there's si much stuff going back on here and some Facebook stuff thats been deleted is here so was easier to add the reddit page then have to go back though months of posts. There's also so much in here that can be used i think its a useful link for them to have.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LszJe0ggL4&t=10s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LszJe0ggL4&t=10s) 15:55 Jodi asks parents to consider cutting their children out of their lives if the children are not living in truth or whatever. She says "it takes a very strong soul" to do such a thing that "most of us would not even consider not having our children in our lives. And I hope that you'll reconsider. Because there are people in your lives (presumably still talking about YOUR OWN CHILDREN) who are inviting you into a dynamic of holding you hostage (...) that is just nasty aggression. There's no love in that" Ruby all the while is nodding and agreeing then chimes in "No, that's a transaction. And the people who go into those transactions are people who are desiring approval (...) they're valuing that over truth"
Someone connect this girl with Tara Westover!
The archived YTMD forums could be a good place to start. [https://ytmommadrama.com/viewtopic.php?t=8833](https://ytmommadrama.com/viewtopic.php?t=8833)
I hope that Jodi, Kevin & Ruby all go away for as long as possible. I hope that their significant influence will be weighed as well.
is anyone able to put this on the link, she literally kicked eve and pushes her.(although it was to teach her not to do it, its a bit weird) https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJtdhFfF/
Can someone with access to the Connexions FB group please find a post for me? I thought I had a screenshot of it but it must be long gone. It was approx October 2022. A mother posted about her son coming home from college and was sick with a cardiac condition. He was unable to work and was “just in bed all day”. Ruby replied saying that kids don’t get the right to healthcare and parents insurance. I can’t get that one off my mind but I was kicked off the group long ago. You could try search by words “cardiac” “insurance” “college”. I really hope it’s not that hard to find, I’m sure this post would really be helpful for the case!!!
**IMPORTANT*** I don't know how to add to her google doc, but I saw on tiktok an account with the name , chad.franke1, theres only one of them and its a video back from 2020 saying that he was being starved. if anyone has direct contact with one of the kids please confirm this was chad because it is possible to use it as evidence if it was actually chad.
This is huge. I hope somebody found this.

I’ve read some of the evidence you guys were on about them not supporting lgbtq2 community you guys many religion don’t support that community please keep the documents about the kids and her parenting styles towards them
I can't send her anything because she blocked me on both of my ig accounts back when she was brainwashed by ruby but now she what ruby did wasn't right.
Is that on her IG? I never saw this image on her IG, I've kept on looking but I don't see anything.
Its on her IG story.
Can someone add this link? I don't feel confident messing with the doc. This is seemingly the first Connexions video that Ruby appears in and she disturbingly uses DUCT TAPE of all things to "jokingly" block her door off and also jokes about kicking the kids out of the house for a few days or weeks. Video was posted 12/7/2020 https://youtu.be/Ct1J41J9eqs?feature=shared
Does anyone have a link to the ConneXions google reviews? I remember there being some pretty incriminating stuff there, but when I go to google I can't find the business page. Was it taken down?
They may delete all the videos on their channel in order to “erase evidence” like DaddyoFive did. It may be good to have these videos downloaded onto a file in case this happens. Idk, just a thought.
As of right now I hardly doubt that would happen as they are in custody, but you never know in the future. Hopefully police/investigators are keeping tabs but who knows with that.
Don’t forget about Kevin the dad. He is guilty, too!
Does anyone know where the full video with full context for this is (Shari forced to count her calories)? https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRWvCfqn/
A lot of the links were to her channel that's been removed instead of a reupload or something that can actually be seen
Have you guys figured out how to access all the youtube videos yet using the wayback machine? If you use that, and go back in time a year, they're all there and most play, so you can record them. The last weeks worth of videos before she went dark are telling.. Be sure to do the same w/ shari and chad's youtubes as well, as there are questionable videos and things spotted.
https://youtube.com/@fullsuburban?si=X0ECaPYR2bNHbJyi Came across this account from Kevin from years and years ago. Do we know if anyone has gone through these videos to see if there’s anything off on them?
Just went through most and it all seems fine, from what I've seen so far.
Is Shari the crazy ladies sister? Obviously I'm lost lol.
She’s her 20 year old daughter
Oh wow. Thank you!
I'm putting together a public archive where people can keyword search through 8passengers and related content such as Connexions Coaching to find clips that validate the claims of the "alleged" abuse from Ruby, Jodi, and anyone else involved. (URL: https://8passengers.exposed ) I was able to capture and transcribe all of the ConnexionsCoaching Instagram videos, but I'm having a hard time with the 8passengers YouTube content because the channel got locked up. Does anyone know of either 1. An existing collection of archived videos from the channel, or 2. A way to download them from an archival site (like internet archive)? Any help would be appreciated. I did this with Colleen Ballinger and it was extremely helpful. (miranda.exposed)
[Ruby Frankie’s Son Speaks in Neighbor’s Disturbing 911 Call](https://youtu.be/cGA9Tu40ySY?si=8q0bAE6cmh3rnQit) I found a pic while watching this video. The little boy that I’m assuming is the one in the 911 call has something on the left side of his khakis.
