Ruby Franke’s ‘petrified’ 9-year-old daughter refused to leave closet for 4 hours before police coaxed her out

Police arrested the former “8 Passengers” host, 42, and Hildebrandt, 54, in August and the women have since have pleaded guilty to charges of aggravated child abuse.

Franke admitted to torturing her young children and was sentenced to up to 30 years in prison.

Newly released entries from Franke’s journals detail the horrific abuse two of her kids, “E” and “R,” suffered at her Hildebrandt’s hands.

Warning: graphic description of child abuse

In one entry, the momfluencer described holding her 12-year-old son, whom she believed to be possessed by a demon, underwater while she placed her hands “tightly over his nose and mouth.”

“These selfish, selfish children who desire only to take, lie, and attack have zero understanding of god’s love for them,” Franke wrote in her journal.

Franke also withheld food and water from her son, which she justified by writing, “I will not feed a demon.”

Meanwhile, Franke told her now-estranged husband, Kevin Franke, in a jailhouse call that she didn’t do “naughty things.”

“Satan has taken everything away from me that I love,” Ruby said during a Sept. 1 call, “and I’m a good woman. I don’t do naughty things. I don’t do naughty things. I’m a really good girl.”

Kevin then told her he was going to “do everything that [he] can to keep truth in our family.”

“I am committed to our family,” he said. “I am committed to you and our marriage no matter what happens. I will be here to support you in any way that I can.”

He’s since filed for divorce and has requested to become a guardian of their teen daughter Abby.
