TL;DR Summary

Former YouTube momfluencer Ruby Franke was sentenced to a minimum of four years in prison for aggravated child abuse, tearfully blaming her actions on being "deceived" into thinking the world was evil. Franke's business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, received the same sentence. The women were charged after Franke's 12-year-old son escaped from Hildebrandt's house, prompting police to find the children emaciated and injured. Franke pleaded guilty to all charges, expressing remorse, while Hildebrandt showed little to none. The judge condemned their actions, and Franke's estranged daughter celebrated the arrest. Both women's YouTube channels have been terminated, and more details of the abuse have emerged, including torture and coercion. Franke's lawyer claimed she was manipulated by Hildebrandt, who faced allegations of misconduct. Franke's husband remains focused on the rehabilitation of their children.
