The abuse charges stem from incidents involving Ruby and Kevin\u2019s two youngest children, now aged 13 and 11. Utah police had responded to a call about a starved child and located the Frankes\u2019 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.<\/p>\n
He had climbed out of a window in Jodi\u2019s home to try and find help, and authorities later found his little sister “petrified” and alone inside an empty closet in the house<\/a>, the document said.<\/p>\n In her sentencing hearing, Ruby said she had “chosen to follow counsel and guidance” that led her “into a dark delusion.”<\/p>\n “My distorted version of reality went largely unchecked as I would isolate from anyone who challenged me,\u201d 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.”<\/p>\n Look back at a timeline of the case below…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
