Social media has been spiraling with the story that Ruby Franke from the YouTube series "8 Passengers" was arrested for child abuse. Allegedly, one of Franke's children escaped from a window and asked a neighbor for food and water. The neighbor then called the cops.

All of this is true. On December 18th 2023 Ruby Frank plead guilty to four counts of child abuse with her friend and co host of her podcast Jodi Hildebrandt. When she said she would testify against her two counts were dropped. The judge spoke how the neighbors saw her child in bad condition after he crawled out of a window to get help. There are multiple sources that say these facts and a video of the court case of her admitting to all of it. This is just one source.

This is true. Ruby Frank was admitted to four counts of child abuse on December 27th, 2023. Ruby and Jody were part of a mega church, and Jody was an accomplice in this crime. Her kids were regularly denied food and water, and one of the sons escaped to a neighbor's house, where he was found malnourished and bleeding from his ankles. Then the neighbors called the cops, and Ruby and Jody were arrested.
True
