Ruby Franke, a former YouTube parenting advice vlogger, and her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt appeared in court on Friday to face six felony counts of aggravated child abuse. Their virtual hearing was delayed due to the large number of people trying to log in and watch, and the charges stem from Franke's malnourished son running to a neighbor's house asking for food and water. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for October 5th.
