Former family vlogger Ruby Franke tearfully spoke before her sentencing on child abuse charges, accompanied by business partner Jodi Hildebrandt. Once a YouTube sensation, Franke faced legal trouble when arrested for abusing her children. One son, malnourished and bound with duct tape, escaped, leading to their arrest. Franke, who pleaded guilty to four counts of second-degree aggravated child abuse, was sentenced to serve four consecutive terms of 1-15 years. Hildebrandt, addressing the court, accepted responsibility. The case unfolded after a neighbor's 911 call exposed the child abuse.
