Ruby Franke (born in 1981 or 1982) is a former American family vlogger
who ran the now defunct YouTube channel called 8 Passengers. On August
30, 2023, she was arrested and charged with six counts of aggravated
child abuse against her six children.

Career
In early 2015, Franke created a YouTube channel called 8 Passengers in
which she documented her family life in Utah with her husband, Kevin,
and their six children. She originally posted five days a week at 6:00
AM. As of June 2020, the channel had almost 2.5 million subscribers; it
amassed 1 billion views.

Beginning in 2020, when one of Franke's sons said that he had been
banned from his bedroom and made to sleep on a bean bag for seven
months, viewers became concerned about Franke's disciplinary methods,
which also included withholding food, sending a child to a wilderness
camp for troubled teens, threatening to behead a stuffed toy, and
telling two children that Santa Claus would not be bringing them
anything for Christmas that year because they were too "numb" to respond
to other punishments. A Change.org petition was launched reporting
perceived child abuse and neglect. Ruby and Kevin Franke posted in
defense of the discipline, saying the incidents had been taken out of
context. The 8 Passengers YouTube channel declined in popularity in
2021, and was removed sometime in 2023. On September 06, 2023, YouTube
offered clarification in a statement to PEOPLE magazine, that Franke was
banned from the platform.

In the early 2020s, Franke began working as a mental health coach at
ConneXions, a company run by Jodi Nan Hildebrandt, a counselor. They
launched a new video channel together in 2022 and partnered in an
Instagram account called Moms of Truth and in offering parenting classes.

Arrest and charges
On August 30, 2023, Franke and Hildebrandt were arrested in Ivins, Utah,
and on September 1 both were charged with six counts of aggravated child
abuse, a felony. According to a statement from the Santa Clara-Ivins
Public Safety Department, Franke's 12-year-old son, who appeared
emaciated and had "open wounds and duct tape around the extremities",
had climbed through a window of Hildebrandt's house and asked at a
neighboring house for food and water. Emergency services found Franke's
10-year-old daughter in the house, also malnourished; both children were
taken to a hospital, where the boy was treated for severe malnourishment
and "deep lacerations from being tied up with rope". A search of the
house found evidence "consistent with the markings" on the 12-year-old,
and the Utah Division of Child and Family Services took the boy and girl
and two more of Franke's children into care.

Franke and Hildebrandt are being held without bail. Initial virtual
hearings for both were held on September 8, 2023 in St. George, Utah; a
second hearing is scheduled for September 21.

Personal life
The Frankes are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints. Their oldest daughter has stated that she has long disapproved
of her mother's parenting strategies. Franke has three sisters who are
also parenting influencers; they posted a joint statement saying the
arrests "needed to happen". A lawyer for Kevin Franke has said that the
couple have been separated since 2022.
