Parenting advice YouTuber Ruby Franke pleaded guilty on Monday, 18 December, to four felony counts of second-degree aggravated child abuse for abusing and starving two of her children.
The Utah mother of six gave tips on her once-popular channel called “8 Passengers".
In footage from inside court, Franke - wearing grey and white prison clothing - pleaded guilty to each of the first three charges individually and on the fourth said: “With my deepest regret and sorrow for my family and my children, guilty.”
Her plea agreement was accepted and sentencing was scheduled for 20 February.
