Ruby Franke, a Utah mom of six who once broadcasted her family’s life to millions of followers on YouTube, has been sentenced to prison for felony child abuse.
Franke was handed four one-to-15-year-long prison sentences by a Utah district court on Tuesday. The prison terms are to be served consecutively, meaning Franke faces a minimum of four and up to 60 years behind bars. The Utah Board of Pardons and Parole will decide exactly how long Franke is incarcerated.
Her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, received the exact same sentence shortly after Franke’s hearing. They have 30 days to appeal the rulings. Franke and Hildebrandt both pleaded guilty to four counts each of aggravated child abuse last December.
Both women were arrested and charged with child abuse in September 2023 after Franke’s 12-year-old son escaped Hildebrandt’s home, asking for food and water. When emergency responders found him, he was injured, starved and had duct tape on his wrists and ankles covering up wounds.

She better get more time in prison
Jody hair looks so greasy ?
Turn on the SOGI story comments , you cowards!!
Talk about a total lack of accountability. It's extremely telling about her state of mind, that, even now, she is blaming HER actions on others, those who "deluded" her about the state of the world, NONE OF WHICH has any bearing whatsoever on her behavior toward her own children. She's just another extremely delusional, narcissistic, sociopathic person trying to make bank by presenting a false representation of "perfect" to the Internet, using her family — her CHILDREN — as props in her sick, little drama. If I were the judge, her statement would tell me all I needed to know about what she's learned as a "student of her own actions": NOTHING.
60 years, consecutive sentences, with NO chance of parole.
She should have gotten life in prison without bail or parole!
you cry so much when you get caught
Disgusting
I hope it is on the 60 side.
Sick people like this who could abuse children deserve far worse than 60 years in prison.
Not sure she's changed very much when she made it clear that SHE choose the prison sentence. She always has to be in control.
We just rewarded Israel $17.5 billion dollars for doing this to Palestinian kids.Why the fuss?
She admitted what she believed about the world…She got the 1st other 5 correct, but the last about the children??
Well how many years did these to things get
Any idea when the ArrivScam perps are going to be sentenced for ripping off Canadian taxpayers Global?
4 years, is that Female privilege ???
4 to 60 years….so she'll serve 8 months.
She is gonna have a baaaad time in prison.
“The world is an evil place filled with cops who control, hospital that injure…” now imagine the fear of these kids when they really were being saved but taught cops and doctor were evil; the neighbor who called the police stated that the boy was really afraid to call the cops, and you can hear him saying “that was my fault” the little girl refused for hours to be visited by doctors, the two older girls were reluctant to talk to the police and didn't even wanted to go with their other sister. The amount of emotional and mental abuse is insane, along with an awful physical abuse, the kids have a lifetime of healing ahead and will carry some emotional scars forever, while these two monsters are going to be out soon, their time in prison will be much shorter than the kids time to heal. Who hurts children should never be let out.
Bullies always cry when someone confronts them.
did you edit this? Looks good…
S? R?MÂN? ÎNCHIS? PENTRU FAPTA COMIS?. ?
To think that these people were able to do this for years to these children, while cashing in and showing their horrible practices online is just so shameful. So much disrespect and abuse, may the kids heal, be helped and find loving caring and competent people that can help them and offer them a second chance to develop as loving and caring humans.
