What happened to Ruby Franke and her family?

On a late August morning in Utah, a 12-year-old boy covered in open wounds knocked at the door of a neighbour's house asking for food and water.

He had escaped a nearby home moments before, by climbing out a window and running away with duct tape still on his ankles, police say.

The boy was taken to hospital suffering from malnourishment and "deep lacerations from being tied up with rope," according to the arrest record.

In total, four children were taken into care and Franke, a parenting influencer and mother of six, was arrested.
