The YouTube mom accused of abusing two of her children is set to appear in court Monday for a hearing. Ruby Franke and her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, allegedly tied up two of Franke’s young children in Hildebrandt’s remote Utah home and starved them until one escaped. Both women face six counts of aggravated child abuse. The Law&Crime Network’s Sierra Gillespie breaks down what to expect in her next court appearance.

Thanks, Utah: you have taught me many things: These two 'dears' Ruby and Jodi, will most likely get-off with just a "slap on the wrist," and go free, AND I learned that we should Stay away from the Mormons, Stay away from the Mormon church, AND stay the heck OUT of Utah!! Thanks!!
Ok, I got it: Stay away from the Mormons, Stay away from their Church, AND stay the heck out of UTAH!!
Did she say “we don’t want our viewers to know”? Ok! 🤦🏽♂️
Such a horrible parents , poor kids am glad they are away from their so called parents
When your older children, say "finally", as you are getting arrested, your actions were not caused by someone else's influence. Jodi only supported what was already going on and enhanced it to the next level, which was going to happen with or without Jodi.
what time is she in court, im in the uk
Jail
Sickos.
What a sick disgusting self-entitled monster.
I bet she liked to practice witchcraft new age b.s.
It’s taking so long bc she was once a popular online figure that essentially created her own evidence. If they were originally put without bond they should stay without bond. I feel so bad for these kids and hope they will work towards a better life
Where’s the individuality? She’s basically saying she’s incapable of independent thought if some woman convinced her to starve her kids and duct tape them. Clearly shouldn’t have th kids.
Ruby should not be released pending trial.
I personally believe theres a flight risk and that if she is allowed to talk to her children, she will attempt to coach them. And with the public outrage around this case, it’s highly likely she will be in danger. People know who she is and where she lives.
This ought to be interesting! I’m afraid to guess what will happen tomorrow! The kids are all that truly matter. Not these terrible women. One as bad as the other! Ruby is no saint!😢
I pray Justice will be served to the fullest extent of the law
Under the auspices of the Mormon “Church.”
I'll put money on it she's more than friends with her "friend"!! 😉
Law and crime please do one on the statement released by ruby solicitor… it has just come out where she says she is a devoted mother and it was all jodi fault it turned out the way it did all under jodi direction.. ridiculous, she blaming it all on jodi and not taking any blame but playing the victim
What's pathetic is Jodi Hildebrants ConneXions website is still up and running! Since Ruby has now turned on Jodi will it be taken down?
She needs to stay were she is at and not let out at all.
I hope she gets a few years at least. Maybe till the youngest is in their late teens. Terminated parentak rights.
No she needs to stay where she is for a while. Those kids need a break 😪
She is going to keep hurting those kids
Big az nose.
She’s (Ruby) is taking a plea deal and she’s throwing Jodie under the bus. Plus she’s probably ruined any chance of having her kids back.
It’s so sad that people treat anyone like this let alone children some people all they want is to be a mother than this women is and it’s crazy because those kids could truly be loved by someone
Please only interview LOCAL law specialists. These people have no real knowledge.
Even if she were to get bond, she's homeless and can't see her kids. She's going to be in jail a loooooong time. Stop showing the family pic that's an AD!
Still waiting for Kevin to be charged….he knew what was going on imo 9:59
I've only just started following this story is that their built into the rocks? How did they get it? 🇬🇧
Save yourself time and don’t bother watching this video. She’s taking a plea deal, it was already announced.
The husband is divorcing her because they got caught, not because he wants too. Don’t forget.
The one thing I would like to see happen in court is to have Ruby listen to the 911 call while we watch her. She will have to live with that over her the rest of her life, and then play the charge SHE made that her boy is an abuser so that makes it ok. The same for Jodi
So they’re just gonna give her bond. Wow.
She took Christmas away from her kids!!😡😡😡 Hopefully, karma happens, and at least Christmas 2023 will be taken from her. She's another Lori Vallow. Look how long the Mormon church protected Chad and Jodi!!!! I think she's getting out😡😪😳😡😡😡
When it comes to insane crimes, religious fundamentalists have to take the cake. Trickling down from Jim Jones, Warren Jeffs and Marshall Herff Applewhite types to individual families, I think you’d be hard pressed to find not only more horrific examples, but just creepy in general. So many of these people have that deviant smile while trying to portray their “perfect” way of life
Neither of these parents deserve custody of these children! These children need extensive physical, mental, and emotional care! These scars will be carried their entire lives!
I find it hard to believe the dad didn’t know what was going on. I mean he was benefiting from everything his x wife was doing.
So is she going to get a slap on the wrist and escape accountability?????????
This sounds like they're gonna let crazy mf out.
Even in jail, Ruby would have food and a bed. What she did to those children is truly despicable!
The dad and the bishop need to be held accountable as well as these two evil women . If they are let out . Something is really wrong ! This entire case is so disturbing. 3 months for torturing children . They will have to recover for the rest of their lives.
Why are there so many narcissists?
Lock her up for life
Lock her up for life
She doesn’t strike me as a Mother who would allow her kids to strike “ a plea deal” when she felt they did something bad.
Social media attention has ruined society
She’s a danger to her kids. She would try to coach and threaten them into testifying for her if she had any access to them. She needs to be kept away from them until after the trial.
Yuck
I will NEVER understand why the court drags their feet when it comes to convicting these ppl. Sentence her to prison already like dang
