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.

Life in Jail

Alittle repetitive in some parts but other than that it was a good podcast. Both Ruby & Jody should have gotten life in jail. How cruel can someone be? Especially to innocent kids
Meh

The story is interesting but the podcast is repetitive and full of speculation. The opinions are from people who watched YouTube videos or “experts” who weren’t actually involved with the case. Probably could have told the story really well in 3 episodes but dragging it out made it a bit rubbish
A gripping story

As a Wondery subscriber (for Redhanded!) this popped up as a suggested listen & it did not disappoint. Great coverage of this case & lots of interview & recorded footage which I really enjoy in a podcast. I wish there were more episodes! I found this really gripping & didn’t listen to anything else until I’d finished the series.
Don’t waste your time.

Episode 7 won’t play, waste of money, waste of time.
