More Information About Allegations Against The YouTuber
Additionally, Franke’s actions toward her children were reportedly detailed in her plea agreement. The mother allegedly believed her children were “evil, possessed, and needed to be punished to repent.”
According to CBS News, Franke’s plea agreement affirms that she “tortured” her 12-year-old son between May and August. This includes forcing him to complete “hours” of physical tasks such as wall sits, carrying boxes of books up and down stairs, working outdoors in the summer without adequate water, and suffering from “repeated and serious sunburns.”
Additionally, the 12-year-old was given “plain meals” or denied food, isolated from others, and punished for “sneaking” drinks of water.
Franke also bound and tied the child’s hands and feet after he allegedly attempted to run away in July.
Furthermore, the mother subjected the child to beatings, held his head underwater, and smothered his nose and mouth with her hands.
Franke allegedly tried to convince the child that he was “possessed” and that her actions were out of love.
“He was also told that everything that was being done to him were acts of love,” the agreement states, per CBS News.
The mother allegedly inflicted similar acts of abuse on her 9-year-old daughter.
Ruby Franke’s Plea Also Details The Actions Of Her Co-Defendant
According to the outlet, Franke’s plea also alleges she was influenced to torture her children due to instruction received by her therapist, Jodi Hildebrandt.
“Ruby Franke is a devoted mother and is also a woman committed to constant improvement. [Franke initially believed that her co-defendant Jodi Hildebrandt] had the insight to offer a path to continual improvement [but Hildebrandt] took advantage of this quest and twisted it into something heinous,” reads a statement shared by Winward Law, the firm reportedly representing Franke.
CBS News adds that Hildebrandt was arrested with Franke on August 30. At the time, Franke’s son escaped from their Utah home and called police from a neighbor’s house.
The family reportedly noted that the child had duct tape around his limbs and was “covered in wounds.”
Afterward, Franke’s four youngest children were taken into custody.
Hildebrant was subsequently charged with six felony counts of aggravated child abuse. KUTV 2 News Salt Lake City reports that Hildebrant may also accept a plea.
CBS News notes that Ruby Franke’s husband has filed for divorce. Additionally, Franke’s YouTube channel titled ‘8 Passengers,’ which chronicled the family’s daily life as Mormons, has been deleted.
According to PEOPLE, the channel came under scrutiny in recent years for showcasing the couple’s “harsh punishments” toward their six children.
