A Utah mother of six who gave parenting advice via a once-popular YouTube channel called "8 Passengers" made her initial court appearance Friday on charges that she and the owner of a relationship counselling business abused and starved her two young children.
Gentry ordered them to remain jailed without bail and scheduled their next hearings for Sept. 21. Their attorneys -- Lamar Winward for Franke and Douglas Terry for Hildebrandt -- said they were going to ask for bail hearings. The boy was emaciated and had duct tape around his ankles and wrists, but wouldn't say why, the caller reported.
"He says everything's fine with them," the caller told the dispatcher. "He says what's happened to him is his fault." The 12- and 10-year-old were taken to the hospital, police said. They along with two other of Franke's children were taken into the custody of child protective services.Among the 1,300 attendees on the virtual hearing were people livestreaming on TikTok and providing real-time commentary, an illustration of the fascination with the case in online communities where Franke was already a divisive figure before her arrest.
"It's because they're so numb, and the more numb your child is, the bigger the outcome they need to wake them up," Franke said in a video.
