Momfluencer, Ruby Franke, Sentenced to 4 to 60 Years for Child Abuse

Ruby Franke was sentenced to prison on Tuesday for abusing her two youngest children, nearly six months after her son fled Jodi Hildebrandt’s house and called 911 from a neighbor’s house. Franke’s business partner Hildebrandt was also given a jail sentence on Tuesday. Both, Franke, and Hildebrandt plead guilty. According to KUTV, a CBS News station, Franke has been sentenced to four consecutive…

According to Salt Lake City’s Fox 13, arresting documents describe a child climbing out of a window and running to a neighbor’s home to ask for food and water. The neighbor noticed that the child had duct tape on their wrists and ankles and called the police. Another child was found at the home the first one escaped from, which belongs to Franke’s business partner and therapist Jodi Hildebrandt.

Viewers of “8 Passengers” and investigative vloggers have flagged Franke’s concerning behavior around feeding and withholding food from her children for a long time. In one video, Franke brags about not feeding her kids breakfast until they do their chores, despite them being “literally starving.” In another, Franke explains the reasoning behind not bringing her hungry 6-year-old lunch at school, because it’s actually the kid’s responsibility to pack her own lunch. It’s all deranged.

Why do people that hate kids ever have kids? And why do they have such strong urges to share their evil with others? I guess it’s...ATTENTION and MONEY.

One can’t help but notice the unfortunate pattern of Youtubers or parenting influencers on any platform who’ve compromised their children’s wellbeing. Remember Myka Stauffer, who “rehomed” her adopted child with special needs in 2020? Or the “FamilyofFive” parents, who were convicted of child abuse in 2017 for the elaborate and cruel “pranks” they pulled on their children? The parenting choices these people made are upsetting enough, but their incessant need to capitalize off of them for content at their children’s expense is horrific.

EAT SHIT AND ROT IN PISS YOU EVIL BITCH!!!!!

[shewhotellsstories]

I feel like the family vlogger thing is inherently exploitative, in part because when it begins the people who will be the most impacted can’t really consent to being involved because of how young they are. Still, I see a lot of people saying they found 8 passengers so sweet and wholesome and the truth is that Ruby Franke being an abuser isn’t shocking if you recognize that children are people. No good parent takes away their kid’s bed for nearly a year over a prank. Or threatens to cut up a preschooler’s favorite stuffed animal as a punishment. What that woman showed for her own children wasn’t tough love, it was contempt and it wasn’t well hidden.

It's so hard not to truly blossom to hate Christianity when you come out of it. The obsession with evil, and the devil and his presumed role in the behavior of children.

I grew up in a corporal punishment home.

All my friends in the church we were part of were out through physical discipline. I don't believe Christians make good parents. They treat children like objects and animals.

And now, I've found myself seeing the ruby franke case and I'm just so sick and devastated. Those poor babies. Those poor babies.

The diary of this woman calling these children possessed, tormenting them.

It's not at all suprising that she considers herself a good Christian woman.

I hope she gets tortured to death in prison for what she put her kids through.

God I hope she does. Christians shouldn't be allowed to have kids if they're going to abuse them and project their weird moral system onto them before they've even grown old enough to develope impulse Control.

Sick sick sick

man i hope ruby franke having to serve 30 years (up to 60) in prison changes something in the way youtube allows parents to exploit their children for views. she’s not the first family blogger to abuse her children and she certainly won’t be the last

ExMormon Reacts to Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke

[tuhbanbuv]

Ruby Franke has pleaded guilty to abusing her children, depriving them of food, water, duct taping their mouths and restraining them via weights, handcuffs and other methods that sicken me too much to describe. Her jail sentence can be anywhere from 4 to 60 years.

Yet she puts all the blame on Jodi, yet both of them have not only boasted about their abuse against the children in what I can only describe as religious/ritual/cult abuse but actively advocating for it and potentially coercing other parents to do it as well.

Spread the word about her crimes. Contact the officials with your concerns. Raise awareness. Ruby Franke cannot get away with this. She will burn in hell for what she did to those kids.

This is where it ends.

I will be linking the Reddit post with the legal documents regarding her plea deal below, but please be careful, the account of her full abuse is very graphic and distressing. If you cannot handle it, be careful.

I am sure (thanks to the news) that most people are aware of Ruby Franke, a vlogger convicted in 2023 of child abuse.

Now, SOMETIMES child abuse charges are weaponized, meaning some people are unjustly accused/convicted.

After everything I've read about the Franke case, I can definitively say that is NOT what happened to her.

Based on the knowledge I have, I know she's right where she deserves to be. I hope her children are doing better these days.

My support goes out to them.

I'm reading the journal of that ex family blogger Ruby Franke, who was convicted for aggravated child abuse

It's sixty fucking pages of religious delusions and horrible physical and emotional child abuse

Her mom advice podcast was a fucking CULT

[mavkarants]

Watching Mommy Dearest and seeing some people's reaction tells me so much about these people.

A little girl gets beaten, humiliated in front of others, worked to the bone, practice till she feels ill, sent away to boarding school after which she is told she has to work FOR the school due to lack of money (money which was never an issue) and then pulled out of the boarding school only to be humiliated further by her own mother lying about why she was no longer in school.

"Well she was kinda a brat."

You think ANY of that woman's reactions were proportionate to the transgressions? Really?

Christina: Uses wire hanger

Joan: Beats her with the hanger, makes a big mess and beats her even more before making her little daughter clean it all up.

-

Christina: Plays dress up to be like her mommy

Joan: Cuts off her daughters hair

-

Christina: Doesn't want to eat raw meat

Joan: Starves her daughter, while trying to make her eat the old raw meat

-

Christina: Is mean to her dolls like her mommy is mean to her

Joan: Throws away the dolls

-

Christina: Is flirty with Joan's boyfriend, just like Joan usually is (still a child)

Joan: Sends her to boarding school

-

Christina: Teenager, hesitant to be friendly due to emotionally abusive childhood

Joan: Lies about money troubles to force her daughter to work to stay in school she was sent to

-

Christina: Tries to sleep with a boy she likes

Joan: Pulls her out of school and starts lying that her daughter was expelled

-

Christina: Gets her first main character job as an actress!

Joan: as soon as her daughter gets hurt, she takes over her job using her very famous name to do it

-

But yeah. Christina was "kinda a brat" 🤡

Be fr it's a movie about an abusive parent, how the fuck do you feel the need to find excuses for the mother? Like not even good excuses. The entire movie was very realistic considering they didn't make Christina flawless. She was a child, behaving like a child. The fact that some people take that, her behaving like a realistic child, as a reason to lowkey defending the mother and feeling "conflicted" is astonishing. This movie, and the reactions to it, show exactly why parents get away with being abusive. It explains exactly why Ruby Franke got away with abusing her kids for so long. Because they saw kids being flawed and decided that whatever punishment, even if extreme, was okay even if just a little.

Ruby Franke took her son's bed away and then threatened him again with it when she made a joke about it and he laughed. And a lot of people were still defending her or stayed on the fence! It's crazy.

Mommy Dearest truly was, and truly is, the perfect example of how likeable or famous people get away with child abuse. All they have to do is look all gathered and strict and people will just instantly hesitate to speak up.

TW: abuse, child abuse, SA, Ruby Franke

I don’t know the details about the Ruby Franke situation with her alleging that one of her children has been SAing other children. Abused children sometimes abuse other children. It’s possible that it’s true.

But I just can’t escape the feeling that she’s accusing her twelve-year-old son and that it’s her way of punishing him for escaping to get help. I was worried something like it would happen; I actually was waiting to see what heinous thing she would accuse him of doing to justify taping him up and starving him, so I wasn’t surprised at all to see that the accusation came up in her hearing. I don’t know. I’m so sad about this entire situation and those poor children.

i feel bad for all the commentary channels that are documenting the recent events these days. people like cruel world, happy mind; swoop; adam mcintyre; even freaking hi! im wonder-- they have all been subject to the likes of illuminaughtii, colleen ballinger and johnny silvestri, and are now seeing what tf ruby franke did to her children.

ofc none of whom i mentioned suffered through such pain like the children (thank God), but me knowing that they did suffer through their own trauma and abuse-- that they documented for us viewers to see-- just to document (or soon to document) the horrible news that the so called "mother" did to her adolescent children.

so sad.

Ruby Franke, of mormon vlog mom fame, once said her biggest fear was waking up and finding all of her (6) kids staring at a wall and she'd have nothing to film.

Like...what...the...fuck...were those 2 million people doing enabling this complete basket case? Why CPS failed those kids so many times?

[imkrisyoung]

Put Ruby Franke under the jail.
