Authorities were contacted to visit the Springville, Utah, home of Ruby Franke, a YouTuber charged with multiple counts of child abuse, after a neighbor said Franke left her children home alone for days, according to a police report. KSL’s Daniella Rivera reports.

Yeah, cops take forever to actually do their jobs…
Social services investigates these things dumb a$$
These poor children need deprogramming from the evil idea of god. They should be placed with sane atheists. Religion is the root of all evil in this world. Anyone who believes in fairy tales should be locked up in a mental institution.
Especially when they work under a Mormon theocracy! Dont blame a nornal police officer!!
This is why ALL “influencers” and YouTube “family” channels are a cancer on humanity’s azz
wow MORE than just the parents failed that kid – the AUTHORITIES failed that kid. the NEIGHBORS were the ONLY ones who DID something….
It’s always the pretty ones who are the craziest
Just like the Mormon dad who just committed murder-suicide of his whole family of 8 a few months ago in Enoch, UT…also the Lori Vallow/Chad Daybell case…disturbing what lurks beneath these “pretty people”…
@Tanner Paisleynarcissism
@Tanner Paisley Neither of them are really physically attractive imo. The first lady is average at best.
@Regressives destroy cities Look at that thumbnail she’s a looker
President Duterte was Vituperative Obama is Dog , Sold Ally Philipines for Chinazi.
Weirdos
She is guilty of torture, no parole, followed by lengthy prison time.
I really hope they get years in prison, and not just a supervision order or a fine. 😣
She was obviously wealthy. Could have easily hired a nanny to help out with all of those kids. Especially that other woman with the Dan Tana style house against the red rock. She must be loaded.
@Christine KellyI think because the son is 12 & the daughter 10…her & Jodi will have a lengthy sentence via deal or go all the way to trial & expose
👍👍👍👍. I was at a retirement seminar and the speaker spoke on how he quit his job after he made well over $950,000 PROFIT within 3months he invested $120,000. I just began investing and i will really appreciate any tips or helpful guide…
seek the guidance of a professional.
ALEX L ORLOFF Advisory is really different from every other Brokers, his honest and pro, earned 52.3BTC from him. Thank God i stopped hodling, i would suggest you try him..
I have traded up to a million dollars worth of financial assets with his help, he showed me the ropes and I let him handle my account afterwards because I made certain rookie mistakes. I never doubted trading with ALEX after seeing his POT(proof of trades) I made good profits this year I hope to make more in future..

We all know white&rich, I mean why this went on so long.
And Utah. Mormons. Keep it in the Family.
“White&rich” – what is that supposed to mean?
The sad part is, this mom probably still believes she is in the right.
She’s now claiming the kids are child molesters
They both looked in shock for sure. Like they had no idea why they are in jail with no bond.
So authorities ignored claims of child abuse dozens of times. That needs to be investigated by an OUTSIDE party ASAP.
It’s Utah. 🤷🏻♀️
They seem to always do. They’re too busy defrauding the government with fraudelent PPP loans.
I’d love her to be my wife.
Auch die Oma und Vater gehören eingesperrt und alle ihre Social Media Accounts sollten umgehend gesperrt und die Gelder auf ihren Konten den Kindern überschrieben werden und die Kinder sollten in Liebevolle Obhut gebracht werden😢❤
‘Liebevolle Obhut’??? Sie sollten sich über das amerikanische Foster Care System informieren. Die Kinder der Turnip Familie, die grausamste Verbrechen durch ihre Eltern erlitten haben, wurde an eine ‘Pflegefamilie’ übergeben, die die Kinder weiter mißbraucht hat.
Children on YouTube deserve the same rights as child actors. YouTube must stop parents from profiting off of their children. Aside from this kind of abuse, no one wants every single awkward part of their childhood recorded and on the internet for life. It’s not fair and causing so many issues, some we might not even be aware of today.
Always from people who think they ‘own’ their children. I don’t even say that about my cat.
This whole thing is obviously very complex but I cannot help but to notice the similarities in when kids are abused by step parents. Ruby and that lady had something going on ruby neglected her own children to go spend time with Jodie?? Ruby wasn’t great before Jodie but Jodie made things way worse. Why were those kids tied up at her house? Also the dad is no where to be seen not looking out for his kids. It’s all so terrible and I hope these kids find healing and understand nothing was ever their fault. Only the fault of the evil adults in their lives.
The dad? Looks like all he was good for were sperm donations.
Yep Ruby was definitely sleeping with Jodie on the low, she didn’t give a dang about her own kids smh
Typical ‘religious conservative’ parenting, and ‘tough love’. Love is patient, kind, understanding, and forgiving. It has nothing to do with ‘running a tight ship’ or harsh punishment. I know they’re called ‘influencers’, but people need to stop letting internet people influence them, and trust credible medical and psychological professionals instead. 😑
It’s all a façade
#GotohellRubyFranke
Very disturbing.
Cops don’t want to do the “protect & serve” thing anymore, they want to be “the punisher” 💩💩
So folks r really letting shirvon do this to people good thing for the lady who hekped nirse the sick
Lack of communication with the agencies is partly to blame for this going unchecked. These agencies need to talk to each other.
And be held accountable as children were suffering!!!😠
Nah, it’s just the fact that these agencies genuinely don’t care unless they’re going to make a lot of money or get into trouble.
When you’re conservative and religious, police will let you get away with anything
The right complexion for police protection. Imagine a melonated family. Six kids. Malnourished. Beaten. Imagine. You know the answer
They will get away with it. They are rich, white and super christians in Utah!!!
Trust me, as someone who was abused by my mother constantly and tried contacting cops about It numerous times, CPS and cops will literally do everything in their power to avoid the situation and don’t care about the children’s well being. Why they would use every resource possible to not do their jobs Instead of protecting and serving like they’re supposed to, I don’t know, but I know they would rather let someone be abused near to death than to simply do their jobs.
Unfortunately that is true all around the world, and as one American officer commented on this case, “some officers work hard in not working” and that he was ashamed and appalled how this case was conducted. I am so sorry for what you went through, may your path forward be very bright.
The Canadian version of CPS (FACS) is the same way. I was being physically and emotionally abused by my father as a kid and they were contacted multiple times by my psychologist. They let my dad lie right to their faces as I was crying my eyes out, both times they came to our house. Unless the kids are swimming in garbage or being beaten to death they just don’t care. I will never understand how these organizations function when they don’t even do their job.
AHHHH 😮
White Privilege. They thought, “Shes a white woman, she couldnt have possibly harmed her children.”
No one listened ! They were ignored ! This is why stuff happens y’all need need pay attn take mattters seriously? This is crazy sad ! 🙏🏻🇺🇸
YouTube MUST take action over these family vloggers exploiting their children to make huge amounts of money. It is immoral but now, clearly very dangerous as some go to extreme measures to get views, which earns them more money. Enough YouTube, stop turning a blind eye and get control of this mass abuse of children’s rights.
Where are the kids now? I saw a poor black mother have and kids taken from her and then she was beaten by cops for a much smaller offense.
More proof that Liberalism is a Mental Issue.
She’s not a liberal. Also liberal has no definition in Australia and some European countries they call conservatives liberals.
Husband?? ?
Gotta love that blanket #Privacy concerns. Where were you when neighbours & family reported their #concerns for the #children’s #welfare?
The ONLY thing I can think of as to why they didn’t do anything sooner was so that they could gather LOADS of ALL the evidence so they can put her away forever
You think too much of these authorities. They won’t touch the case when it is wealthy, white, christian, so called ‘christian’ homes. Because they know these people have money and attorneys at their side. They don’t want to burn their fingers. Especially in Utah authorities are twined up with the Mormon cult. People demand now jail time for Ruby and her husband. I don’t trust the legal system, I predict they’ll get away with it.
No. It’s mormon Utah. Learn about it.
No, it’s that the police and CPS usually aren’t helpful because they don’t care.
This country always fails our children .Disgusting
This is indicative of exactly what people around the world have come to expect from Utah!
This Mormon State is rife with child abuse; and the State has allowed child abuse to thrive in Utah for decades.
Remember folks that this is ground zero for Fundamentalist Mormons and polygamy cults.
The Governmentand and Courts of Utah willfully ignored this and allowed the torture of these children to continue for years unnecessarily to protect the hedonistic nature of Utah Mormon’s to continue unabated!
Utah is North America’s poster child for tyranny and child endangerment!
The entire government of Utah should be investigated (including their corrupt Judges) and held accountable!
Absolutely unforgivable in America!!!
😡🤬😤
Had she been a Black mother and one Karen neighbor with too much time on her hands made a single report… Oh boy!
Hildebrandt needs to be investigated too.
The FBI needs a phone line to report bad cops.
How is the dad not in jail too!!! Hes just as guilty
He was out of the house for over a year
I wonder why nothing was done, white famous and religious in Utah, nasty
Her “friend” aka lover.
She needed help and didn’t receive it. That’s clear. However, both of her partners, and everyone who stood to benefit from her YT fame were enablers. She was an influencer, being influenced by the people around her.
Apparently CPS Never Saw TheFreakin’ Hidden Iron-Door’d “PanicRoom” with TheCaptainsWheel Locking Mechanism…Those MONSTERS Locked TheKids Inside!
Guilty as charged. Her fame blinded the neighbor cop friend.
Authorities should be investigated as well. (Local authorities)!
HOPING THERE ARE RECORDS OF PEOPLE WHO SUPPORTED THIS KIND OF MONSTROSITY they tooo are a DANGER TO SOCIETY more soo to their own HOUSEHOLD pleaseee IF ANYONE you know whooo is SUPPORTING THIS KIND OF EVIL report them IMMEDIATELY to the AUTHORITIES we’ll never know what thier FAMILIES are going trueeee it’s SCARYYYY that there are PEOPLE like them out thereeeeeeeeeeeee
DCFS are great at their jobs lol
See CPS always ignores child abuse and dangerous situations case after case
I’m sure those two were a thing. And that is a very personal thing, not my business. But when children are involved, it IS everyone’s BUSINESS!!!
More often than not, it seems, anytime someone has advice or opinions that “you aren’t going to find” in traditional or widely accepted sources, that person is peddling a scam, promoting their own bad opinions, or completely making things up for attention.
So where was the dad?!
If she lived in Pennsylvania they would have taken the kids on the 1st report. They would’ve gotten in the house. They can’t find fugitives. They will take kids 1st & ask questions later. All it takes is 1 phone call.
Big suprise a Conservative is arrested for abusing their child. Meanwhile they scream about the threat of drag queens and trans people “grooming” their children.
Any mother of six kids who shows up always in perfect makeup is, quite obviously, a narcissist.
Jody’s house looks extra creepy like why take a children 👦 there!?
