Ruby Franke, a once-popular online mom influencer with millions of followers, has been sentenced to four one- to 15-year terms in prison for child abuse.
Franke pleaded guilty in December to four counts of aggravated abuse against her children. She and her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, had each been charged with six counts of felony child abuse in September.
Utah Judge John J. Walton sentenced both to four one- to 15-year terms on Tuesday, but state law limits the maximum aggregate sentence for consecutive terms to 30 years. The Utah Board of Pardons and Parole will determine the length of time they will spend behind bars, NBC News reported.
For years, the 42-year-old mother documented her strict parenting style with her husband Kevin Franke and her six children on her YouTube channel, “8 Passengers.” She and Hildebrandt also doled out parenting advice in videos.
It has been my experience that those who try the hardest to convince others that they are doing the right thing must try so hard because they, themselves, know very well that they are doing the wrong thing, and it is actually themselves that they are trying to convince.
Sadly, these very same people only see any form of resistance as confirmation, that they are not only virtuous, but persecuted and victims. As far as I’m concerned, that is proof that they are mentally ill and delusional. Institutionalization is the only recourse. They are clearly a danger to themselves and others, and should remain institutionalized until they can be proven otherwise.
Just more proof, that religion is a dangerous mental illness, which presents a threat to everyone and to society as a whole. 
Well said
