Abby is back for another true crime episode. We delve into the troubling case of Ruby Franke, a family vlogger whose parenting methods led to severe child abuse. We discuss the ethical implications of family vlogging, the influence of a cult-like therapist, and the legal changes aimed at protecting children in online content. The conversation emphasizes the importance of critical thinking, community support, and awareness of manipulative dynamics in relationships.
