Ruby Franke, a previous YouTube household vlogger from Utah who was sentenced last month on kid abuse charges, in-depth months of abuse in handwritten journal entries launched by district attorneys Friday.
In the greatly redacted entries, Franke consistently firmly insisted that her boy was had by a satanic force. In one entry from July 11, 2023, she composed that it was a “wedding day for wicked” and explained an event where her boy was pressed into water and she held her turn over his nose and mouth.
She composed that she did that to assist the young boy.
In another entry, Franke called her child “manipulative” and explained how she required the lady to stand in the rain for 2 hours.
In February, Franke got 4 different jail sentences of one to 15 years each. Her service partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, got the very same sentence.
Both ladies were apprehended in August 2023 and pleaded guilty to 4 counts of second-degree worsened kid abuse after cops discovered among Franke’s children emaciated with open injuries and bound with duct tape.
The kid had actually gotten away Hildebrandt’s home to a next-door neighbor’s home. Among Franke’s children was discovered in Hildebrandt’s home in a comparable malnourished condition.
The journal entries, launched by the Washington County Attorney’s Office, primarily concentrated on 2 of Franke’s 6 kids. Authorities edited their names and determined the child, 9, as “E” and the boy, 12, as “R.”
“R was informed to stand in the sun w/his sun hat,” Franke composed in the July 11, 2023, entry. “He is bold. … R, or I need to state his devil, remains in the shade. I press R into the sun. R returns. I return with a cactus poker. When I poke his back to get in the sun R does not even flinch. I poke him on the neck. He remains in a hypnotic trance & & does not appear to feel anything. Jodi taps him on the cheeks to wake him up.”
Franke likewise composed that very same day that her kid was pressed into a swimming pool and she held her hand “securely over his nose & & mouth.”
In a July 12, 2023, entry, Franke composed that she cut her child’s hair off and “splashed” her with water in the “pet dog wash.”
“E stated she wished to flee. Jodi informed E she has no concept what is awaiting her,” Franke composed.
District attorneys likewise launched cops body cam video, pictures and interrogation tapes.
In a home security video from Aug. 30, 2023, Franke’s child asked a next-door neighbor if he might “do 2 favors.”
“Well, what are they?” the next-door neighbor asked.
“Take me to the closest police headquarters,” the young boy reacted. “Well, really simply one is great.”
The next-door neighbor informed the young boy to have a seat on his front patio.
A 2nd video revealed the guy on the phone as a female evaluated the kid’s injuries.
