Ruby Franke: Judge orders child custody case closed to the public

A judge has sealed off hearings and documents in Ruby Franke's child custody case. Franke, a former popular YouTuber who broadcast about life with her husband and children, has been in jail since late August on allegations of child abuse.

The order comes after Ruby Franke accused two of her children of being abusive to other children during an earlier public hearing.

Neighbors called police when Franke’s 12-year-old son escaped Hildebrandt’s home in Ivins, about 260 miles away from the Franke family home in Utah County, to ask neighbors for food and water. Neighbors said the child had duct tape on his wrists and ankles, and police said Franke’s 10-year-old daughter was later found malnourished in the home.

During that hearing, Bazzelle asked all parties — including Shari Franke — to submit briefs on whether to keep the custody proceedings open, adding that doing so could bar the 20-year-old eldest sibling from court. A mediation on the matter was scheduled for Oct. 11. Kevin Franke called police to report a burglary when he saw the door to the family’s Springville home had been broken open and some of his electronics removed. An officer explained that police had forced the door open to execute a search warrant and that officers went with Shari to the home on Aug. 31 to retrieve personal items for two of her siblings.
