It always confuses me when people get their sentences reduced for ‘good behaviour’. They’ve already committed the ‘bad behaviour’ that’s why they’re in bleeping prison in the first place. Making exceptional progress won’t bring their victim back. It’s stupid.

I don't think we really have time off for good behaviour here - that's very much an American thing and, as such, a common misconception that we're the same.

Anyway, I found this case review which details what happened:


So, basically, if I'm reading this correctly, it's because he was sentenced as a youth (under eighteen at the time of the offence) and this allows such a review to take place.

My first thought was that he looks uncannily like Robert Thompson.

Some awful things coming from the Ruby Franke case (YouTube Mum) that she’s admitted to. Interesting that she’s agreed to testify against her business partner too

I admit I’ve not researched this but does anyone know why the dad Kevin is not also implicated? It said in the article that by the time of her arrest he had left her due to differing parenting styles, but that alone can’t absolve him surely?

I don’t really know other than he left the family home over a year ago and had not seen them in that time basically abandoned them

He and the oldest son left over a year prior to her arrest. I can't remember how long she had been with her "friend" Jodi by that point but since he hasn't been arrested, I guess they can't find any evidence of his involvement in their abuse. Though him allowing her to "punish" the kids as she did prior to Jodi coming into their lives makes him a pretty crap father regardless.

I’m also confused by the way they say the older two girls were working outside the home while still living with Ruby. The level of the abuse here is so extreme that I find it really hard to understand why at least a 16 year old who still had some presence in the local community (she apparently worked in a gym) didn’t raise the alarm. Compared to the other older two who weren’t living there or in contact with Ruby and both had made previous reports about it. I understand the psychological abuse was likely carried out on them also… but I just can’t fathom a 16 year old not being desperate to help the two younger siblings, even in cases like the Turpin family where they were so isolated and literally all locked up one girl ran to help her siblings.

The oldest Turpin son went to community college and said nothing. Though in his case the "mother" would sit outside his classes. Still, I can't imagine how much fear these kids would have instilled in them to be surrounded by people who could help and still be too scared to speak up.
