A Utah mother of six who gave parenting advice on YouTube pleaded guilty Monday to child abuse charges and will go to prison for trying to convince her two youngest children they were evil, possessed and needed to be punished to repent.
Ruby Franke stood shackled in gray and white jail clothing as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath before pleading guilty to each of her first three charges. On the fourth, she fought back some emotion before saying: "With my deepest regret and sorrow for my family and my children, guilty."

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel No child should be subjected to this kind of treatment no matter what they did. I came from a physically and mentally abusive household growing up. That's why I joined the Marines at seventeen; to get away from home and many runaway attempts. I vividly remember my biological mother (I don't classify her as my mother, hence the biological statement) holding my head under water when I was four years old.
