Ruby Franke, a Utah YouTuber known for giving parenting advice, had her first court hearing on Friday after being charged with six counts of child abuse. Both Franke and her business partner, Jodi Hildebrandt, were arrested after Franke's malnourished son ran to a neighbor's house asking for food and water, authorities said.
Franke was ordered to be held without bail, according to Brian Schnee, a reporter for CBS Salt Lake City affiliate KUTV. Schnee shared a photo of Franke from the virtual hearing — which experienced technical difficulties due to the amount of people trying to log on and watch, he said.
Hildebrandt will also be held without bail the judge ruled, according to KUTV. Both women will have their next hearing on Sept. 21, Schnee reported.
