and my kids are literally starving.
I hesitate to say this because it's gonna sound like
I'm like a mean barbarian.
This morning, a Utah mom influencer arrested
facing six felony counts of aggravated child abuse.
For the first time, we're hearing emergency responders
as they see one of Ruby Frankie's children
after he allegedly escaped through a window.
Female does have duct tape around his jaw,
telling the RP he was around wrists and ankles.
He's becoming, or correction, the RP is becoming emotional
regarding the child's health.
I'm gonna go ahead and have a look.
Arrest documents saying the child
escaped to a neighbor's home.
The 12-year-old child described by that neighbor
in a phone call to police as emaciated and malnourished
with open wounds.
Or documents also describing deep lacerations
from being tied up with a rope.
He's also saying that they were his sisters at the home.
Police say they also found Frankie's 10-year-old daughter
malnourished.
Frankie is known for her strict parenting advice
to millions of TikTok and YouTube followers.
The mom of six previously received criticism online
for some parenting tactics,
seen in a now-deleted YouTube video
saying she has kept food from her kids.
I'm not even gonna let you eat breakfast
until you get your chores done.
Experts say Frankie's videos, even the deleted ones,
could be used against her in court.
If you're the prosecutor and the detectives,
you may really be happy you have that
because it could well corroborate some of these charges
that the government is alleging.
