Ruby Franke and her entire extended family exploit their children on YouTube for money. They’re all child abusing disgusting people.
Hope those kids are safe and get proper care and love
The worst plea deal ever 😂 shes getting nothing in return. She really is dumb af
"With my deepest regret and sorrow for my family and my children…"
I don't believe one word of that. Ruby Franke knew what she was doing, and she's only expressing regret because she finally got caught. She is evil. Jodi Hildebrand is evil.
My heart breaks for those children.
I’m sorry but any adult knows that tying up, starving, locking outside in dessert heat, making to run barefoot on rocky dirt roads…all these things are severe child abuse. Rube Frankie has NO excuse. Neither does her husband.
Nothing she did as an influencer was normal how come we didn’t see that before?
Even with the plea deal, she better get 20 years as a minimum.
She copped a plea JFC
They don't usually let you put beachy waves in her hair for court. That's just one of many clues about this TV court case. Soaps are just as believable of this.
She’s a monster. Bye ✋🏻🖕🏻
I'm disgusted at this court you have ruined a family. These children were not abused it was for the came.
I just don't understand how any mother could think this is ok. Even a tough love parent.
I hope Ruby gets a maximum sentence for aggravated child abuse.
I hope her kids aren't watching any of this as it unravels. Especially the minor children. they don't need to be silently worrying about any or this right now
I hope Ruby spends a lot of time in jail
Ruby Franke is a sick b and what I don’t get is how people watched this disgusting human beings YouTube channel and didn’t realize she was abusing her children.
this lady should be put under the jail! how dare she abuse her offspring in the name of god!
Hope she gets all 60yrs without parole
Apologize to her family and then her children. No true remorse. This is a woman who is not mentally well. God save and protect those sweet, innocent children who never should have to experience the hell from those two demons!
She and Jodi are monsters, true, but WHERE is the arrest warrant for her co-abuser/monster Kevin??!
Hildabrandt is horrible, but those were HER children and she did this to them. Both of them should never see the light of day.
Thank you for making 6 copies of your faulty genes.
She’s sorry she got caught!!!!pray for the children!
Right wingers going to jail is the new normal!!
In the plea agreement it said,
Franke also admitted to kicking her son while wearing boots, holding his head under water and smothering his mouth and nose with her hands, according to the plea agreement.
Lets not forget about Jodi she's the mastermind behind all this Ruby would've never done these things if it weren't for her
⚖️👍🏻 WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE👎🏻 PRISON FOR LIFE, NO PAROLE ⚖️👍🏻
Man on the 911 is crying at the condition of that boy and said "he is covered in wounds"… I can't even imagine what those poor kids have been through and she obviously plead guilty with the quickness so that she didn't have to face complete accountability. I have a feeling that once her children get older they'll be exposing her one way or another… I hope for the kids that they get the support that they need given that their father allowed this to happen with his children up until Ruby was arrested and now he's trying to get full custody… He was obviously aware of the punishments his wife put into place for their children! I worry for kids' safety in his custody since he obviously did nothing to defend them against the torture they've obviously suffered while living under their mother AND father's roof. I have to wonder why this man isn't also charged as an accessory to the abuse, being that he didn't defend or remove his children from the abusive situation!
