She had 2.3 million followers watching her raise six kids online. What they didn't see was the therapist who convinced her two of them were possessed, and the journal that proved it.




Jodi Hildebrandt was the most trusted counselor in her community, a licensed therapist families turned to when nothing else worked.

Ruby Franke was the mother millions of strangers felt like they knew, the star of one of the biggest family channels on YouTube, celebrated for her discipline and her devotion.

Together, the two women built something that looked, from the outside, like friendship and healing. Behind closed doors, it became something else entirely: a belief system so extreme that two children were starved, bound, and locked away for months, hidden in plain sight from a husband, a church, and an audience of millions.

Then, on one August night in 2023, a malnourished twelve-year-old boy climbed through a window and knocked on a stranger's door, and everything came undone.
