According to Yahoo News, based from court records, one of Utah mommy blogger Franke’s six children reportedly left Hildebrandt’s home in Ivins through a window and requested assistance from a neighbor. According to a probable cause affidavit from the Santa Clara-Ivins Public Safety Department, the neighbor noticed “duct tape” wrapped around the little victim’s “ankles and wrists” and called the police.

Upon arrival at Hildebrandt’s residence, police noticed that the child had “wounds” and was severely malnourished, so they took him to a nearby hospital for treatment. He “was placed on a medical hold due to his deep lacerations from being tied up with rope and from his malnourishment,” the affidavit states.

After the first youngster called the authorities, law enforcement discovered another emaciated child belonging to Utah mommy blogger Franke inside Hildebrandt’s house. The statement claims that although the boy “initially refused medical” aid, they subsequently took him to the hospital.
