She was actually giving advice on parenting!
I had never heard of this absolute ghoul until yesterday and holy fuck. The shit people are digging up is really horrific. The bubbly nonchalance while she’s medically neglecting her own child is really disturbing. #RubyFranke pic.twitter.com/O9yf87RFi8

Rudy told viewers last year her child was praying to God to help her survive. Ruby said, “I thought it was the cutest thing.”
Watching Ruby Franke here I see a Lori Vallow disturbance. 😳
Ruby is sick and can’t even see it? Her little girl prayed to survive and Ruby thought it was cute and laughed. The Frankes and Jodi Hildebrandt belong in prison. #RubyFranke pic.twitter.com/mykdzSyiw2

Page 6 reported:
YouTube star Ruby Franke of the “8 Passengers” channel was arrested Wednesday after an “emaciated” child with duct tape around their extremities escaped and ran to a neighbor’s house for help.
The arrest record, obtained by Page Six Thursday, states that the child fled through a window of Franke’s business partner Jodi Hildebrandt’s house in Ivins, Utah, and asked the neighbor for food and water — but when the Good Samaritan noticed duct tape on the child’s ankles and wrists, they called police.
“The calling party stated the juvenile appeared to be emaciated and malnourished, with open wounds and duct tape around the extremities,” a statement from local authorities reads.
Police on the scene described the unidentified child’s wounds, neglect and malnourishment to be so “severe” that they transported the victim to the nearby Saint George Regional Hospital.
