Now it's different if you call things useless, like what the vacuum cleaner would be if the bag got punctured. (That's among the things my dad would sometimes scold our dog for doing back in the mid 2000's, biting on the vacuum cleaner bag while he was using it.) And if you talk about being useless in a particular situation because you just stood by and did nothing to help when it was clearly needed, also different. That would describe Kevin Franke in my opinion, Ruby's ex-husband of the former 8 Passengers YouTube channel. According to the oldest of their children, there were acts of abuse coming from Ruby while the channel was still up and she and Kevin were still together. Maybe it wasn't until they separated and he moved out that the duct tape stuff between Ruby and Jodi Hildebrandt started, but according to the oldest, who left the channel early, there were things going on that she was around for, so clearly Kevin was around for those things, too. His lawyer tries to say he was "manipulated" and that "he had no reason to believe that his kids were being abused," but I think that's poppycock. There was an incident he teamed her on, and he is apparently still defending her, which tells me he just let the other ominous things happen because he didn't think his kids deserved any better. After he moved out he didn't even bother to check on his kids in any way or ask the police to check. That's just as bad, maybe worse.
What I'm getting at is that he was useless in this situation because he did not protect his abused kids.
But there was no justification for Gaby to call Sherry a useless person, especially when she cooked the first meal for everyone and then tried to make everyone happy by trying to surprise them. She deserved better, and at least she wasn't a bully like Sade.

 @krispiccone Sade, anyway. And Gaby is the one who called her useless. The other seven were still okay, though. If anything, I suspect that they were parented just fine, and that Sherry may or may not have been parentified, you know, forced to grow up too quickly and deal with adult responsibilities rather just permitted to be a kid. Then again, girls are faster to mature than boys are. Sherry may just have this extra virtue of maturity that you don't actually have to possess in order to be a quality human being, but it adds a kick. I honestly believe she did originally want to have fun with the others, but also wanted to keep the place clean to prevent cockroaches. I think it was when Gaby called her useless after she had cooked for everyone and at the time was trying to plan a surprise for everyone, which by the way, also shows ungratefulness, that that changed, considering that such cruel words would have the power to ruin any zest for this experience that one has, and Sade was the antagonist of the house which is why those are the only two I suspect to be spoiled.

Itâs true, Sherry was a sweetheart, and Sade and Gabrielle were ungrateful meanies, undoubtedly her two arch nemeses. As for the other seven, Iâm just going to be blunt. They were much more innocent in this than Kevin Franke was or even is now, in the 8 Passengers scandal. You see, not only is he an adult whose mind should be all the way developed, but heâs a father, too! When you have kids, itâs both parentsâ responsibilities to make sure they are safe, not just one. In this capacity, Sade and Gaby may be Ruby and Jodi and Sherry is probably closest to being Russell or Eve, but unlike Kevin, the other seven girls are minor children whose minds arenât all the way developed, so itâs believable that they meant well considered they didnât just terrorize everyone or call Sherry useless, that was Gaby, and I think it was that that made Sherry decide to avoid the others, as long as she and/or Sade were still there anyway. But if you pay attention youâll notice that the group of girls begging her not to leave and hugging her before she did didnât include either one of them. Connecting the dots. They even comforted her when she was upset on two occasions, so even though their words may have been mistakable otherwise, donât accuse them of pretending to care about her or only using her, they are still young children with minds that had developing yet to do, they didnât have the same maturity level that Sherry had, but just imagine boys of the same age, if any were that young in the boys one, LOL! But at least they werenât spiteful like S and G. Now there is a thing called kids being kids and just having fun. I know because I was a kid once. Plus this was five days of freedom. Now just because they used it, that makes them monsters, animals or savages? (Weâre all animals actually.) I agree that Sade was a savage monster, and what Gaby said to Sherry was very cruel. The others contradicted her words, and maybe they could have tried harder in making Sherry feel better, but they were still young and had growing yet to do.
Now Kevin on the other hand, should have the maturity of a parent, and the fact that he probably never called after he and Ruby split up to check, and now that he knows what happened he didnât act the least bit upset, he never asked if they were okay, and he still tried to defend Ruby even after he knew what she and Jodi did to Russell and Eve. Plus he supported Rubyâs action of not only refusing to bring Eveâs lunch to school for her when she forgot it, but telling the teacher who called not to let any of the other kids share with her, to let her go hungry as a lesson. Heâs the one, I understand, who said she never forgot it again after that. But mainly I think what makes it the hardest to implicate him is the fact that he moved out months prior to the termination and the arrest. But deep down I believe he still failed his kids, turned on them, did them dirty.

That was Gaby who called her useless, and Sade was the main bully of the house. I feel sorry for Sherry, and I love the kind of human being she is, too, but I donât think the other seven were that bad. They tried to comfort Sherry both times she was upset, and they could have done more and taken better approaches at convincing her to stay, but I donât think they were mean to her like Sade and Gaby were. Remember, they were young, too, and didnât have a fully-developed brain yet, and while that may excuse an honest mistake of accidentally taking the wrong verbal approaches at times, it doesnât excuse deliberate cruelty, like calling someone useless or mocking someone while at the same saying things about the someone that arenât even true, like the way Sade was talking about her upstairs while she was making dinner. I guess what Iâm getting at is that I donât believe that the girl who begged her to stay because she was the one who cooked meant to say that that was all she was good for, and unless the girl was Gaby or Sade, I think she knew deep down how awesome Sherry was, actions speak louder than words do, but like I said, with a still-underdeveloped brain, even if or when your intentions are good, thereâs still a possibility you might not do as well as you mean. Youâll notice Sade didnât try to get her to stay, and I donât know about Gaby, but sheâs the one who called her useless.

And the other seven probably didnât deserve her either, merely because they didnât have the extra layer of maturity that she did, but most kids that young donât, so itâs really not their fault. Now Sade was the total opposite, the house bully, and Gaby was the one who called her useless, no one else, but the others told her Gaby was wrong, plus there were many things skipped for the sake of time so weâre left only to guess and speculate many specific details. Thereâs no evidence anywhere that confirms that anyone except Sade and Gabrielle were actually mean to Sherry and there are all sorts of possible truths that we canât rule out altogether for what happens during time skips. Unlike many users on this site I am not so quick to assume the worst. But yes, Sadeâs terror and Gabyâs cruel words naturally would have been enough to make Sherry want to leave, and while many still supported her, that just didnât do it. I think itâs only if S and G had left, her two arch nemeses, that there would have been a chance that she would have been prompted to stay.

I see it all now. There weren't any rules, and that's why their parents didn't reprimand them. But many users had a point, commending them was still going much too far. It may have been more appropriate to say, "Well, you do know that it was okay this one time, because there weren't any rules, we knew there weren't, and we agreed to let you do this, right? But starting after this, it's back to reality and responsibility, just to let you know." At least that wouldn't have been over all encouraging such destructiveness. I get it now, that's everyone's real problem with the parents' reaction.
Still, those saying what they would have done to punish them, be them on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, or wherever, what you really mean is that you never would have agreed to this in the first place, because the fact still remains that there were no rules.
