The YouTuber and Utah mother of six pleaded guilty last December to child abuse charges.
Ruby Franke, the Utah mother of six who branded herself as a parenting expert and garnered millions of subscribers to her now-defunct YouTube channel,"8 Passengers," has been sentenced to four-60 years on
Police say the boy showed up to the neighbor's home with duct tape around his ankles and wrists and he was also"emaciated and malnourished." According to multiple reports, the neighbor called 911 and said the boy told him that"what's happened to him is his fault." While waiting for paramedics and police to arrive, the neighbor gave the juvenile food and water.
Franke also came under fire after posting on social media that she refused to take her kindergartner lunch after the child forgot it at home. She said in the video that she told her daughter's teacher she would not be bringing her lunch in hopes of teaching her a lesson. Franke launched her"8 Passengers" YouTube channel in 2015, where she chronicled the Mormon family's activities, her parenting style and home renovations, among other things. YouTube removed Franke's channel in wake of her arrest.According to her website, Hildebrandt is the founder ConneXions Classroom, which offers counseling services.
In a since-deleted YouTube video, Hoellein said family members tried to intervene before Franke's arrest. In one instance, a DCFS worker called police on April 16, 2022 and told them Franke"was made aware of two kids running out in the road unsupervised." As for Franke, she, too, reportedly experienced medical issues. KUTV reported she was moved from her holding cell and then into a medical block at the jail.According to Kester, Kevin got a text from Franke -- whom he'd been separated from for 13 months -- telling him there was an emergency and she needed him to act urgently. But Kevin responded saying he was working. Franke wasn't having it, imploring him to call her immediately.
But when he got that phone call, Kester claimed, that's when Kevin"came to his sense about how he'd been manipulated and deceived." Kester claimed that Kevin laid the blame on Hildebrandt.
