Ruby Franke to Seek Plea Deal, Blaming Partner for Child Abuse

Parenting blogger and YouTube influencer Ruby Franke, along with her former business partner Jodi Hildebrandt, is expected to enter a plea agreement in her child abuse case. Franke faces six felony counts of aggravated child abuse after her arrest in Utah. Police found one of Franke's children with open wounds and another malnourished at Hildebrandt's home. Franke has been held without bail and hopes to resolve the matter quickly. Franke's lawyers claim she was manipulated by Hildebrandt, who isolated her from her family. Franke's husband has filed for divorce, and Franke acknowledges and respects his decision.
