Former YouTube “momfluencer” Ruby Franke was known for her no-nonsense parenting style, but authorities now say that "tough love" was actually child abuse. Franke's 12-year-old son escaped from the Utah home of her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, where he was reportedly starved and tied up with duct tape alongside his sister. As law enforcement dug deeper, they uncovered torture, injuries, and emotional harm inflicted by 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. We also take you inside the courtroom as they face justice in this Law&Crime original podcast, The Rise and Fall of Ruby Franke.
