Survivor Shari Franke detailed the alleged abuse she endured at the hands of her mother, disgraced momfluencer Ruby Franke, and the damaging effects of family vlogging. Amid her mother’s imprisonment, Shari recounted for the first time her childhood trauma.
Trigger warning: child abuse – Shari, the eldest of Ruby’s six children, opened up about the punishments she was subjected to, which evolved into “grand gestures and prolonged periods of deprivation.”
By the time she left for college at Brigham Young University, in Utah, Shari had become incredibly concerned for the safety of her siblings who remained in her parents’ house.
