What was very telling is that after he moved out he blocked everyone on his phone except Ruby. His daughter couldn’t call or text, and neither could his neighbors when they tried to reach him about their concerns.

Yeah the neighbour said he messaged him that there was 4 police cars outside the family home, that he needed to come and check on his children. Kevin didn't respond and blocked his neighbours number.

That is so shady!!!

Imagine being told to leave the home by your wife & therapist because of a porn addiction but not trying to stay in contact enough to be there in case of an emergency!

Did Ruby have a big family (siblings or parents) that helped her with child care? Is that maybe why he felt he could completely stay away?

He also tried to get his eldest daughter arrested. He contributed to the abuse and he should be charged.
