The son of a ‘momfluencer’ who was jailed for abusing her own children has broken his silence.
Ruby Franke, a vlogger behind one of YouTube’s biggest channels, ‘8 Passengers’, documented her family life in southern Utah for her 2,280,000 subscribers.
The 42-year-old was arrested in the city of Ivins in August after her malnourished son – with open wounds and bound with duct tape – escaped to a neighbour to plead for food and water.
Chad Franke, one of her six children, has appeared in a video on TikTok, dancing alongside his girlfriend.
In a caption, she says, ‘You’d love my mom!’ His response is ‘My mom’s in prison.’
The parody clip was shared three days before the sentencing on Tuesday, where Chad’s mum was seen weeping in court.
Franke was ordered to serve up to 30 years in prison for brutally abusing two of her own children in a ‘concentration camp-like setting.’
