A home where children were neglected and underfed is revealed.

Ruby Franke, the popular mommy blogger, and her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt were arrested in September 2021. Franke had gained a substantial following through her YouTube account 8 Passengers, which shared her tough love approach to parenting.

Shocking footage reveals the inside of Franke's home prior to her arrest. Police bodycam footage shows cops with guns drawn forcing their way in and looking through each room. It includes an audio recording of a call from one of Franke's older kids to the police, who reported that her four younger siblings were being left home alone for four to five days.

After one of Franke's children, a 12-year-old boy, escaped from the house of her business partner, Hildebrandt, police raided Franke's home. The boy appeared emaciated, had tape around his legs and was hungry and thirsty. Cops found another one of her kids similarly starving and took the victim to a nearby hospital.

Franke pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse for abusing and starving two of her children during the hearing in St George, Utah, on Monday. Four of Franke's six children have been taken in by the state's child protective services. She faces a maximum penalty of 15 years and a maximum fine of $10,000 for each count and will remain behind bars until her sentencing in February.
