Ruby Franke Sentenced to 30 Years for Child Abuse

The former parenting YouTuber and her business partner received prison sentences after pleading guilty to aggravated child abuse.

Ruby Franke and her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt were sentenced to prison for aggravated child abuse, with Franke receiving a 30-year sentence.
The abuse involved withholding food, water, and beds from the children, and subjecting them to physical and emotional abuse.
Franke's sister, Bonnie Hoellein, publicly distanced herself from the abuse, emphasizing her commitment to her own children.
The case has sparked discussions on the ethics of sharing children's lives online and the responsibilities of family vloggers.
Franke apologized at her sentencing, attributing her actions to paranoia and a belief in a conspiracy against her and her children.
