Full Story
Bonnie Hoellein, a popular parenting influencer known for sharing her family life on YouTube, has expressed her disconnection from her sister Ruby Franke following the latter’s arrest on child abuse charges. Ruby and her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt, co-founders of the parent advice service ConneXions, have been charged with six counts of felony child abuse. Despite attempts to reach Ruby and Jodi’s legal representation for comment, no contact information has been provided. Bonnie has opened up about being estranged from her sister for several years, revealing that her family was cut off from Ruby and Kevin’s family, making it difficult to know what was happening behind the scenes.
In a video posted on September 13, Bonnie criticized Ruby and her husband’s extreme parenting techniques and their company, describing it as “complete indoctrination.” She emphasized that she disapproved of their methods but had chosen to keep quiet about it in the past. Bonnie made it clear that she is not responsible for her sister’s actions and distanced herself from Ruby’s mistakes.
The child abuse charges stemmed from a disturbing incident involving one of Ruby and Kevin’s sons, who sought help from a neighbor after escaping through a window. The boy was found malnourished with open wounds and duct tape on his ankles and wrists. His 10-year-old sister was discovered in a similar condition. The children were taken to a hospital for treatment, while the couple’s four minor children were placed in the care of Utah’s Division of Child and Family Services. Kevin, Ruby’s husband, has not been arrested or charged and is said to be devastated by the allegations.
Ruby and Jodi are currently being held without bail until a hearing scheduled for September 21. Bonnie expressed her anger and disgust over the allegations, calling the situation “truly unbelievable.” She had previously spoken out against Ruby and Jodi in a joint statement with her other sisters, emphasizing the importance of ensuring the safety of the children involved. Julie Deru, another sister, also shared her concerns about ConneXions as a counseling resource and revealed that they had little contact with Ruby for the past three years, unaware of the troubling events occurring in her life.
