Ruby Franke‘s son is leaning on dark humor to get through her child abuse trial.
As Perezcious readers know, the former parenting influencer known for the YouTube channels 8 Passengers and ConneXions Classroom pleaded guilty to four child abuse charges after she was arrested in August 2023. The horrific crimes she owned up to in court were connected to her two youngest children, who were simply referred to as “RF” and “EF,” though her controversial content online shows she’s engaged in cruel parenting tactics for years.
Thanks to a plea deal, in which she agreed to testify against her former business partner Jodi Hildebrandt, Ruby was able to get rid of two charges against her, but she is still facing up to 60 years behind bars — that’s up to 15 years for each charge — and a fine of up to $10,000 for each count. Her sentencing is set for Tuesday.

Someone else defended him against any hate, adding:
Everybody handles trauma in their own way — and
