Investigation Reveals Shocking Child Abuse Allegations Against YouTube Influencer and Therapist

YouTube influencer Ruby Franke, known for her channel 8 Passengers, and her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt have been arrested and charged with six counts of felony child abuse. Concerns about the welfare of Franke's children were raised by a neighbor who noticed the four youngest kids being left alone for extended periods of time. The children were placed in the care of the Utah Division of Child and Family Services after Franke's arrest. Franke's husband, Kevin, who has not been charged, is shocked by the allegations. The case has garnered attention on social media, with resurfaced videos highlighting Franke's approach to discipline. Franke and Hildebrandt are currently being held without bail, and their lawyers have requested more time to review the evidence.
