Police reports from YouTube parenting blogger Ruby Franke's arrest reveal neighbor's complaints about alleged child neglect about a year before her arrest.
Police reports made from Ruby Franke's home address in Utah detail various troubles at the parenting blogger's home since 2020 — three years before she and her business partner were each arrested on six counts of child abuse. Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt, who ran a joint parenting advice YouTube page called ConneXions Classroom, were charged after Santa Clara-Ivins police located two of Franke's six children, who were malnourished and emaciated, at Hildebrandt's home on Aug.
Franke told the officer in April 2020 that she had a popular YouTube page, and she believed the threatening caller knew about her vlog. 'Franke stated that she received a message from somebody stating they were going to take her family down and there will be riot at their door when the world finds out the truth,' the Springfield officer wrote in a police report. June 2020 Two months later, police received a similar call about Franke being harassed — this time via Instagram.
September 2022 In September 2022, police were again called to Franke's address for a welfare check after her eldest daughter, Shari Franke, told police that 'multiple children' had been 'left at home alone for days,' police said in the report. Shari told police that a neighbor contacted her to say the children — Shari's brothers and sisters — had been left alone for five days while Ruby Franke was in St. George with a friend.
Police asked the neighbors about Franke, and they 'immediately started telling about how the mother of the house, Ruby Franke, will leave her children home for extended periods of time and go to St. George to spend time with her friend Jodi Hildebrandt,' the report stated. One neighbor apparently provided an alibi to show police that Ruby Franke's vehicle had been in St. George for several days while her children were home.
Both Franke and Hildebrandt were initially charged with two counts of child abuse, but authorities later added four additional child abuse charges to each suspect. Franke's husband, Kevin Franke, is not mentioned in any of the unredacted portions of the police reports. 'Kevin was a great neighbor and loving father,' the neighbor told Fox News Digital. 'He was always seen outside with his kids, walking the dog, or chatting with neighbors.
