YouTuber Ruby Franke Convicted of Child Abuse: YouTuber Ruby Franke, one of the most popular YouTubers in the United States, has been sentenced to one to fifteen years in prison for aggravated child abuse. She allegedly denied her children fundamental rights.

Six children were allegedly “regularly denied access to food, water, and sleeping quarters.”

Franke, according to Utah prosecutor Eric Clarke, subjected his children to an environment resembling a concentration camp. Moreover, authorities prohibited them from virtually all forms of entertainment, subjected them to stringent regulations, and isolated them from social interactions.

Jodi Hildebrandt also received the same sanction as Franke. Both parties collaborated within the ‘8 Passengers’ channel.

One of the malnourished children escaped from their residence and publicly decried the situation, gaining international attention.
