YouTube mom Ruby Franke faces six counts of aggravated child abuse after she was arrested when her 12-year-old son escaped from her business partner’s Utah home “covered in wounds.” Famed criminal defense attorney Fred Perri said her best way to resolve the case is to claim she had a “mental defect” and work out a plea deal with the prosecution if the allegations are true.

She messed up royal 😮
Of course there is some level of stress…she is human. But normal people could never hurt their children. The question is, how did she become so evil?
She knew what she was doing was considered wrong. She’s just a narcissist and thought her way is better than everyone else’s way so she didn’t care what anyone else says, including the law. Being a narcissist might be a mental defect but it doesn’t mean that you don’t know right from wrong.
Shes triying to get away with it ! She knew Exactly what she was doing she belongs in prison PERIOD 😊!!!!!!
She’s a poor excuse of a mother! And the twist is her channel was parenting advice?!? Ummmm no thanks!!
Mentally ill defense..Difficult to use as the defense council must demonstrate that Ruby did not know the difference between right and wrong. Ruby could say my dog told me that I needed to starve my child but that does not validate her actions. She would likely say anything to get out of being culpable for her repeated behaviors with these charges.
Ruby Franks will claim her brain was "reprogrammed" by Jody Hildebrand. This happens all the time, especially in cults.
She's going to get all the help she deserves in prison.
She’s got a mental defect alright – she’s a narcissist. But she’s in no means criminally insane. She deleted her channel to try to “cover it up”, afterall
I wonder if these two women had a romantic relationship behind close doors. I don’t know who would let somebody move in w six children
what happens if she says all is acting , is not real, it was part of show
Well really. Obviously she's deranged. Chain her to the floor and lock her up forever in a cold dark concrete cell. That will cure her.
My mother was a toxic narcissist, she was also brought up by parents in the 1930's+ 40's who were authoritarian and strongly believed in corporal punishment….That was her parenting style, i was her chosen target for anger, frustration and just plain venom because there was no one else she could attack… Even though i grew up with this i vowed that i would never treat my children in that manner. I didn't, While in college i took courses in childhood development, and child psychology. And when i saw my mother's disciplinary choices surface i was quick to discard them as options.
I was raised this way should never be an acceptable excuse in 2023, there are too many ways for a parent to do better.
A personality disorder isn't a free pass.
I don't think she truly understood what she was doing was wrong. She likely knew what she was doing was considered a crime, but she believed she had to break the law for her kid's sake.
What she had was a serious pathology, and that would have interfered with her decision making. It's a good thing she's away from the kids as she is in no state to be around them, but I hope she and the other lady get a lot of therapy. before they're allowed back into society, and evwn then with lots of supervision.
If she mentally I’ll put her in an asylum
Yeah, “different parenting techniques.” Sure, duct taping your kids legs is completely different and normal. Such bs. 😤
She knew what she was doing!
These two women are going to be under severe scrutiny from just our country alone, let alone the global outcry from parents around the world. God exposed it. He says your lie will find you out. Stop hurting my kids.
Sadistic narcissist
"You have to understand the difference between right and wrong." Does Ruby?
And it's not gonna stop It's not gonna stop it just going to get worse😊
There is NO defence for what she did. I do not believe she should be let of the hook, no matter how mental she might be
Yes, narcisism, psychopat y and sociopat y…
I bet she is a narcissist and certainly a bit of psychopath
Refusing anymore giving her own daughter something to eat at school is Pure Evil. Bet she didn't go all day without something to eat. Both women know they're actions are horrible wrong and need to be held accountable!! Anything for 15 minutes of fame
She knew what she was doing ..Mental health defense is not gonna help her.
Nobody…not nobody wants to look "that " hard at people like this. The children are the ones that matter. She's repulsive in ever way. She's been outta pocket for a long time. Also, i got the feeling from her videos with her kids that she never liked her children, thats why she exploited them for all to see. Just disgusting through & through
We ALL have mental health issues. No one is “normal”. There is no normal. This is life. There are very few people with true mental conditions.
Shes an evil **
Disappointed. This is “some attorney” saying what a defense attorney might, or could possibly do! It is not her attorney, that headline is slightly misleading, and I have found law and crime to be good otherwise! Don’t join the other Clickbaiters! And why provide suggestions on how someone might defend this woman? And stir people up?
No mental effect. She knew Right from Wrong
