US parenting blogger Ruby Franke has to go to prison for several years because she abused her children. Franke pleaded guilty in December to four counts of serious child abuse.

Business partner Jodi Hildebrandt was sentenced to the same sentence. The case came to light after Franke's 12-year-old son escaped and asked a neighbor to call the police. The Utah Board of Pardons and Parole has yet to determine the length of the sentence, which could be between 4 and 30 years.
