Ruby Franke, a once-beloved parenting advice YouTuber, recently made headlines for all the wrong reasons.

A harsh regime of cruelty towards her own children unfolded, leading to a sentence of up to 30 years in prison for the 42-year-old influencer.

Ruby Franke's disturbing journals detailed unspeakable acts of abuse, including starvation and torture. Her religious fanaticism intertwined with her parenting methods, resulting in a chilling narrative of possession and punishment.
