The
abuse
charges
stem
from
incidents
involving
Ruby
and
Kevin’s
two
youngest
children,
now
aged
13
and
11.
Utah
police
had
responded
to
a
call
about
a
starved
child
and
located
the
Frankes’
youngest
son,
who
appeared “emaciated
and
malnourished”
with “open
wounds
and
duct
tape
around
the
extremities.”
according
to
a
probable
cause
affidavit
obtained
by
NBC
News.
He
had
climbed
out
of
a
window
in
Jodi’s
home
to
try
and
find
help,
and
authorities
later
found
his
little
sister “petrified”
and
alone
inside
an
empty
closet
in
the
house,
the
document
said.
In
her
sentencing
hearing,
Ruby
said
she
had “chosen
to
follow
counsel
and
guidance”
that
led
her “into
a
dark
delusion.”
“My
distorted
version
of
reality
went
largely
unchecked
as
I
would
isolate
from
anyone
who
challenged
me,”
the
YouTuber
said. “To
my
babies,
you
are
a
part
of
me.
I
believed
dark
was
light
and
right
was
wrong.
I
would
do
anything
in
this
world
for
you.
I
took
from
you
all
that
was
soft,
and
safe,
and
good.”
