Its been more than a year since mommy vloggerRuby Frankeand her business partnerJodi Hildebrandtpleaded guilty to felony child abuse.
But as the children grew older, filming became a sore spot in the house.
The docuseries shows several clips of the children being admonished for not wanting to perform for the camera.

And I think thats where I started to have issues.
Ruby also hosted sessions and videos with Jodi.
Once, Ruby and Kevin received a call from Hildebrandt who sounded completely distraught.
Hildebrandt believed she was under spiritual attack and moved into Frankes home for support.
I have never seen my mom more distraught, Chad said.
I have never seen her so red in the face.
But it wasnt anger.
It was a sadness.
It was so tangible that something was off and I cant describe it, she says.
But it was like a physical heaviness.
It felt really dark.
At that moment, I kind of figured something was going on.
Kevin is frank in the documentary that hes not sure if Jodi and Ruby were lovers.
I dont know the extent to which their interactions went, Kevin says.
It was much more than a friendship.
Much more than a sister hood.
It was uncomfortably intimate.
Neither Hildebrandt nor Ruby have ever responded to these claims.
Her daughter was also subjected to similar physical punishments, including running barefoot outside and working on hot days.
I will not rest.
I will not stop.
I will not leave.
I will fight him until the day you die.'
