Ruby Franke, the Utah parenting advice YouTuber facing child abuse charges, took more than $80,000 in since-forgiven loans from the federal government’s Payroll Protection Program, records show.
Neither Hildebrandt nor ConneXions received any PPP loans, a search Wednesday of ProPublica’s loan tracker indicates.
According to charging documents, a neighbor called police Aug. 30 after Franke’s 12-year-old son escaped Hildebrandt’s Ivins home and asked them for food and water. The neighbor noticed duct tape on the boy’s wrists and ankles.
