Ruby Franke, a Utah YouTube star who has spent the last eight years dishing out parenting advice to millions of followers, was arrested Wednesday alongside her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, on suspicion of aggravated child abuse.

Police said Franke's malnourished son escaped out a window with his arms and legs covered in duct tape, fleeing to a neighbor's house seeking food and water.

she's best known for her once-popular YouTube channel, "8 Passengers."

Did she regard them as "8 ~~Passenger~~Stowaways"? Thinking that legitimized the abuse?

…WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!?

…I- I- I just can’t.

Lock her up, may she never get out. Also. Q!!!!! FOUND THE THREAT TO CHILDREN!!!!

There is an LDSer who is not only a credit to humanity, certainly in terms of creating children's entertainment of the highest quality: in this instance, animationmeister Don Bluth. And then there's this Rube.

Ever wonder why he hasn't been quoted in FSTDT, OP…?!

Snippets from the article regarding Hildebrandt:

ConneXions bills itself as a mental health curriculum and counseling service structured around the principles of "impeccable honesty, rigorous personal responsibility and vulnerable humility."

The founder of the company, Jodi Hildebrandt, is a therapist who had her license suspended in 2012 after she disclosed a patient's "porn addiction" to his Mormon church leaders, The Salt Lake Tribune reported.

…

Around 10:50 a.m. on Wednesday, Franke's 12-year-old son climbed out of the window of Hildebrandt's house in the city of Ivins, according to an arrest affidavit signed by a Santa-Clara Ivins Public Safety officer.

(So this wasn’t at Franke’s own home. Rather interesting…)

The boy was transported to a local hospital while police searched Hildebrandt's home. There, they discovered another child, Franke's 10-year-old daughter, who appeared to be malnourished. She was also taken to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Franke’s sisters and eldest daughter have long felt this arrest needed to happen. The sisters only kept quiet for fear of making the situation even more perilous for the children still at home. Considering that the two bound children were at Hildebrandt’s home, not Franke’s, I get the feeling the concern was well-founded.

Another case of religion and suffer the little children. 😰

LOCK HER UP! And I hope the girls in there give her a good flogging.

sending her oldest boy to a behavioral camp where youth spend a minimum of 49 days in the wilderness with little gear

So, not only she starved her children but she also subcontracted the torture to sadists even more organized.

And why have I the impression that Ruby Franke‘s channel was the video equivalent of To Train Up a Child?

Nooooooo she’s a Christian who is disciplining her kids not like those GAYS!!! /s

@TFAltHist #175232

True they excuse when Christians like Duggar do it

@Conscience #175309
Yep. It’s only paedophilia and abuse when people they don’t like do it.
