Video shows Ruby Franke’s son after he escaped Jodi Hildebrandt’s home on August 30, 2023. The 12-year-old, who was emaciated, broke free from being tied up and rushed to a neighbor’s home while covered in duct tape. The young boy asked Hildebrandt’s neighbors to take him to the nearest police station. Franke and Hildebrandt were arrested later that day. The duo pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse in connection to this incident. Law&Crime’s Sierra Gillespie breaks down all the evidence from her son’s brave escape.

I remember when she would talk about how she discipline and I wrote this child abuse and lot of people liked her, I guess just acting like sheep
Those poor kids I hope they are healing and are safe. I hope their father is rethinking how he and that thing raised all of those children he is as disgusting as her I hope the two middle sisters choose the sister or live with not the father
wtf
14:45 “if you knew all the pieces I think you would have a lot of empathy” excuse me??? Speechless absolutely speechless, there will be no empathy shown to you for emaciating children so bad to the point where their skin is falling off, this lady has no idea what kind of pain that kid was in and probably hurt so bad for him to walk over to the neighbors, I hope she gets shown the same amount of compassion that she showed those children, which is none
Wow so nice to the ladies while arresting them,i wonder if they were this nice talking to the kids when the Shackled them.
Very interesting.
From watching 8 passengers in the past and knowing the sons voice immediately I thought “Yep that’s definitely R”.
She doesn't even ask about her son😢 she's cruel…horrible!!
Kept. The Kids like you would keep. Guard dogs. Disgusting Disgraceful. Cruel people.
Certainly a strange relationship…
I purposely didn't have kids because of my impatience
but I would never abuse, torture, tie up, starve my children.
I hope eternal bliss for these kids 🌹🍍🌊🏄🥞🌺🍔🍜
I agree that there should’ve also been attempted murder charges. The young boy’s escape is the only reason he survived. And holding their heads under water, are you kidding me?!?! One of the most disgusting, negligent and appalling failures in the so called justice system is that the so called “mother” (psychotic serial child abusing sadist) received a sentence of only a few months in prison. Traffic violations have received more. Please tell me there’s been an update on the sentencing since then. She should never see the light of day, or her children again.
If that kid showed up to my door I would have said, "You're too early for Halloween, son".
Jodi Hillebrandt is not a psychiatrist. She is a counselor, which is very different from being a psychiatrist. Especially in such terrible cases, I think it's important to stick with the facts.
What information could there possibly be, that the cops dont have, that would possibly JUSTIFY hurting a child like that. I get watery eyed when i step on my cats tail by accident and they run and hide.
Ive never hurt an adult on purpose, though there have been instances when id have liked to. Hurting a kid. Id probably cry if they cried. I don't even like kids but hurting others just goes against my every natural instinct.
How is my question. How could you think that was a reasonable punishment for someone? Geezus….
this is so disgusting I have never ever been a believer in punishing children or anyone for that matter by withholding food… she just makes me sick😢
😢😢😢 this make me cry. 😢😢
this is too sad omfg. the way he's walking so solemnly I can't 😭😭😭😭
This has got me tearing up
Bless the child and hope he now has a new loving home!! Bless also this Gentleman that helped him!! The sentens of his mum and the other woman was FAR to mild!!!
Look how skinny he is…watch how the Mormon mafia smooth everything over.
😢😢😢
the best brother you could hope for, he didnt even care to get help for himself but for his siblings.
So sick
12 year olds should be, running around kicking football's making a lot of noise, getting into mischief and eating you out of house and home. not running to other houses to simply get food and help. This broke my heart
Best people ever they deserve an award
And why are yall showing her any decency??? She woulda had a firearm if i was there!
Jodi is a psychiatrist? Omg! She is one sick lady to make kids suffer from a lack of food. I hope she loses her license to practice medicine again. 😢
Death Penalty
just sad where did they think its ok the child is a hero
RF is either a sociopath or psychopath.
Jody jody jody jodu jody jody jody jody what happened to you as a child? Somebody scrambled your eggs.
I wonder how she treated her daughters😢
Omg my heart I watched them a lot and this is so sad
Evil!
