As we\u2019ve been reporting, the social media influencer was arrested, along with her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt<\/strong>, and charged with six counts of felony child abuse. It all started when her 12-year-old son escaped and went to a neighbor\u2019s home, showing up on their doorstep severely \u201cemaciated and malnourished\u201d and with \u201copen wounds and duct tape around the extremities.\u201d When police arrived at the scene, they sent the boy to the hospital and later found Ruby\u2019s 10-year-old daughter \u201cin similar physical condition of malnourishment.\u201d Sickening.<\/p>\n Following her arrest last week, Ruby appeared in court via video on Thursday. And Perezcious readers, she dropped some shocking excuses for her behavior — including allegations about one of her young children!<\/p>\n According to Dailymail.com<\/em>, the YouTuber broke down in tears while claiming one of her six children had been sexually abusing their siblings and molesting several other family members and kids in their neighborhood for years. Ruby went into a few details about the situation, saying that the child in question started looking at pornography at three years old. What?! How the hell does a toddler get access to porn? Isn’t that kind of, well… on the parent??<\/p>\n She alleged things worsened from there when the child began to sexually abuse a younger sibling and eventually the two of them started to abuse other kids. The online personality said the two siblings disguised the abuse by playing a \u201cpatting\u201d game with each other. She did not go into any more detail.<\/p>\n Ruby then told the court that the child later admitted in May to sexually abusing 20 people, including their cousins and neighbors. It\u2019s important to note the vlogger did not provide any evidence for these disturbing allegations.<\/strong><\/p>\n But at one point during the hearing, an attorney asked the judge to hear more about the alleged molestation since the mom of one of the victims was in the courtroom. The judge ended up turning down the request, stating those claims could be heard at a later date. However, she did note the alleged abusive kid \u201cwill then need to be placed in a home with no other children\u201d moving forward.<\/p>\n Whoa\u2026<\/p>\n So many questions run through our minds following these new accusations. Is Ruby just trying to point fingers elsewhere in an attempt to save herself? If the claims are true, why did she never call the authorities or get help? Did her husband, Kevin Franke<\/strong>, know about this? Was Ruby’s older daughter or sisters, who knew about the abuse, aware of these<\/em> allegations? Again, there are so many unanswered questions right now.<\/p>\n No matter what may have happened, though, it’s not like revelations of awful behavior on the kids’ part somehow absolves her of any abuse towards them. If anything, we imagine it will imply to a jury that a pattern of abuse has caused her children to become abusers themselves!<\/p>\n
