TL;DR Summary

YouTuber Ruby Franke and her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, were sentenced to up to 30 years in prison for inflicting horrific abuse on Franke's children, motivated by religious extremism. The women, who claimed to belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, pleaded guilty to aggravated child abuse, attempting to convince Franke's two youngest children that they were evil and possessed by demons. The abuse included starvation, isolation, and physical harm, with Franke justifying her actions in handwritten journal entries. The "8 Passengers" YouTube channel, run by Franke and her husband, has ended, and Kevin Franke has filed for divorce and custody of their four minor children.
