That's what I wnat to know! Why wasn't the husband also charged if the abuse was going on while they were still together.

Male privilege in Utah?

Husband pushed for the max

She was just sentenced to a term of imprisonment for between four and 60 years in a Women’s maximum security prison.

Jodi seemed to have sort of brainwashed Ruby. It’s definitely a strange dynamic but they were not having an affair together.

They were in a romantic relationship, that’s why Ruby left her husband and was living with Jodi, in Jodi’s house. 2 of Ruby’s minor children were living in Jodi’s house as well.

Jodi was arrested because she was not only a business partner, but also intimately involved with Ruby and “helping” with disciplinary duties of Ruby’s minor children- which resulted in horrific child abuse.

Jodi has a panic room in her home under the garage. It seems they often locked the children in the panic room. I hope both women get locked up for a very, very long time.

Correct. Franke and Hildebrandt are a couple, as in, lovers.

Among other transgressions- sending said son to wilderness camp, invading her 6 kids privacy for YT clicks, etc. Her channel was, at one time, insanely popular and this was very controversial.

With very few exceptions I think YouTube family vloggers are scummy, but this one in particular got caught up in a nasty cult and it apparently culminated in one of her children climbing out of a window to get help. The children were malnourished and the escapee had duct tape on her ankles. Arrests have been made and CPS is (obviously) involved.

Bound with duct tape and malnourished is an entirely different level of abuse.

Glad she is going to prison. Hope it’s the worst prison out there!

She needs to get more than 6 years. She’s a disgrace. How someone could watch a child suffer like that, let alone their own child is beyond me.

I read the detailed charges of what was done to Russell and Eve, the two youngest, and she's the biggest POS mother. Terrible! I wish we had an eye-for-an-eye justice for cases like this.

When I heard her lawyer filed for a waiver of preliminary hearing, I knew she had reached a plea deal. I expected the 6 felony charges to be reduced to the highest misdemeanor in exchange for a guilty plea, so I was pleasantly surprised to see she's still getting 4 felony counts of 2nd degree child abuse, and only the 2 felony malnourishment charges were dropped.

I do not think she will do more than 6 years in prison, if that, sadly.

I know someone who was in a cult growing up as a child (birth to age 19) and they still have deprogramming issues in their 30s. I find it hard to believe that her switch to see the light has been flipped this quickly with so little time away from Jodi's spell.

I cannot wait to see what comes out now that Ruby has seemingly flipped on Jodi. I bet $20 she's going to admit to some sort of sexual relationship.

I speculate Jodi is a closet lesbian, and I truly believe Ruby and Jodi are in a romantic relationship, I always have. I have gotten that vibe from them since before this arrest. This is NOT confirmed, this is just the vibe I get.

I think Ruby has always been mentally unwell, and easily swayed, being primed and groomed to follow religion blindly, that they turned into Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell.

I honestly believe that Jodi and Ruby were well on their way to getting rid of the youngest, much like JJ and Tylee lost their lives. Thank God it was prevented.

The parents were separated.

The 2 women were in an intimate relationship.

Just because they were separated doesn’t mean he has no responsibility for his children. He’s a crap dad. Either he didn’t see them which is terrible or he saw them and knew they were abused and in bad shape and didn’t do anything.

Both of the italicized are unconfirmed rumors - and the panic room one is likely wrong. The whole thing is horrific, but lets stick to the facts as far as we know them.

The panic room was spoken about in a police radio communication the night of the incident. It’s under the garage.

I say this as a lesbian woman with excellent gaydar.

I'm sorry, but look at Jodi dancing. Look at that outfit! And the song is a gay anthem!
