The claim that Ruby Franke is in jail for child neglect and child abuse is true. When searching the key words “Ruby Franke,” “jail,” and “child abuse,” several articles from well known news outlets are shown making similar claims. These outlets include NBC News, CBS News, NPR, USA Today, and ABC News. From these sources, I gathered that on August 30th, 2023, Ruby Franke was arrested and charged with six counts of child abuse . This arrest came after one of Frankes’ sons escaped and went to a neighbor's house, where he was described as being “emaciated and malnourished.” On December 18th, 2023, Franke pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse. Sources such as The New York Times state that Franke will stay incarcerated until her sentencing, which is expected to happen late February, 2024. Along with these online articles, there's courtroom footage of Frankes plea hearing available online, aligning with the four counts of aggravated child abuse charges discussed by the sources listed above.
