SALT LAKE CITY — The family of Utah YouTuber and mother Ruby Franke said they were"sickened" by the news of child abuse allegations after a child was found with"severe" neglect and abuse.The Daily Mail spoke to Franke's sisters-in-law, Cynthia and Jennifer Franke, who called Ruby a"narcissist" and said they believe"she should be put away forever if convicted.""Ruby isn't really my cup of tea," she said to The Daily Mail.

The neighbor noticed duct tape around the child's hands and ankles and called police, FOX 13 News previously reported. Police later called the abuse and neglect of the child as"severe" and located another child in the home who also had injuries consistent with abuse.Cynthia Franke, who is also married to a brother of Ruby's husband, told The Daily Mail she believes her sister-in-law is lying.

The Daily Mail reported that the family believes Ruby's behavior really began to change when she became involved with Jodi Hildebrandt, who was also arrested on child abuse charges. Jennifer called the parenting group ConneXions, which is run by Hildebrandt, a cult. Ruby's sisters and Utah influencers Ellie Mecham, Julie Deru and Bonnie Hoellein issued a joint statement when the arrest was made, saying they've been working behind the scenes for three years to"make sure the kids were safe."
