4.3
2024
Ruby Franke, a Utah mom turned YouTube “momfluencer” who amassed 2.6 million subscribers, was known for her strict disciplinarian parenting style. But authorities now say that her "tough love" was actually child abuse. Ruby Franke's son escaped from the Utah home of her self-help business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt. The boy was reportedly starved and tied up with duct tape along with his 10 year old sister. As law enforcement dug deeper, they uncovered injuries, torture, and emotional harm inflicted by both Franke and Hildebrandt. Law&Crime takes you behind the scenes, from Ruby and Jodi's path to internet stardom, to the investigation that brought them down.Binge all episodes of The Rise and Fall of Ruby Franke ad-free by joining Wondery+ on the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

"Wow, wow, wow. I did not really follow this case but had heard about it. Apparently, I'm not on the part of YouTube where Mormon's exploit their children for views... But anyway, this case is crazy. It just shows you how easily brainwashing and religion can turn someone into an abuser with no sense of true right or wrong. What they did to those children is horrific. Listen for yourself. "
