Utah parenting advice YouTuber Ruby Franke and her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, will appear in court Friday after they were arrested last week in Ivins on six felony counts of aggravated child abuse.
and her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, will appear in courton six felony counts each of aggravated child abuse.
Authorities determined that the boy and girl had been staying with Hildebrandt, though it’s unclear for how long. Court documents list Franke’s home address in Springville. But two days before the boy’s escape, a video posted to YouTube depicted Ruby Franke in Hildebrandt’s home. The 12-year-old and the 10-year-old — along with two of Franke’s other children — were placed into the custody of the Department of Children and Family Services, according to the probable cause statement.
The family has been criticized online for parenting decisions shared on the channel, including Ruby Franke saying that she refused to take lunch to her kindergartener who forgot it at home. The oldest daughter has said in social media posts that she cut ties with her parents. Those three alleged forms of abuse, for each of the two children, amounted to the six aggravated child abuse counts that Ruby Franke and Hildebrandt each face.
Melanie Hall, a spokesperson for DOPL, confirmed that the division is reviewing Hildebrandt’s license since news of her arrest last week.
