Video shows Ruby Franke’s son after he escaped Jodi Hildebrandt’s home on August 30, 2023. The 12-year-old, who was emaciated, broke free from being tied up and rushed to a neighbor’s home while covered in duct tape. The young boy asked Hildebrandt’s neighbors to take him to the nearest police station. Franke and Hildebrandt were arrested later that day. The duo pleaded guilty to four counts of aggravated child abuse in connection to this incident. Law&Crime’s Sierra Gillespie breaks down all the evidence from her son’s brave escape.

I don’t understand why the prosecutor only wants Ruby to do four years. The amount of time she does should be up to her children.

@sendrakes4203 4 месяца назад

I just can't pass through this. Knowing that these filth got their verdict & punishment, when is Kevin, the father charged? If he insist that he hasn't seen any of his children, yet have contact with his wife, he should still be charge for neglect. Remember, he wanted to get his oldest daughter arrested for accusing her of stealing things in Ruby's house, that to me is a Redflag of just how ridiculous this guy is.

This pure and true love pouring from his neighbours, is divine affection. Extremely rare to receive this form of comfort and kindness, especially for children. Most likely he felt overflown with love in that moment, as that would have been in my guess, only one of the few times he has ever felt the reassurance and care from an adult figure I am sure. I will continue to pray for the rest of the family, and this beautiful boy. Kindness goes beyond limits, and is directly given back to your soul in many ways of the future. Take this as an example of how you are choosing to change lives in the blink of an eye. Transformation for you both in these situations. It is yours to choose to be the humanitarian and humble human.
