Ruby Franke, a former YouTube family vlogger from Utah who was sentenced last month on child abuse charges, detailed months of abuse in handwritten journal entries released by prosecutors Friday.
In the heavily redacted entries, Franke repeatedly insisted that her son was possessed by a demon. In one entry from July 11, 2023, she wrote that it was a “big day for evil” and described an incident where her son was pushed into water and she held her hand over his nose and mouth.
She wrote that she did that to help the boy.
In another entry, Franke called her daughter “manipulative” and described how she forced the girl to stand in the rain for two hours.
In February, Franke received four separate prison sentences of one to 15 years each. Her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, received the same sentence.
