Jodi Hildebrandt, the business partner and co-defendant of Utah parenting advice YouTuber Ruby Franke, voluntarily surrendered her counseling license Tuesday in light of the felony child abuse charges filed against her last month.
“Given the heinous abuse allegations, the agency felt that the surrender of the license was the best course of action to protect the safety of Hildebrandt’s patients and clients,” Margaret Busse, executive director of the Utah Department of Commerce, said in a statement Tuesday.
Hildebrandt and Franke are each charged with six felony counts of aggravated child abuse and currentlyin Washington County. The licensing agency has been working with the Utah attorney general’s office since Hildebrandt’s arrest to suspend her professional license and ensure that she cannot practice, even if released from jail.
Her voluntary surrender is not considered a disciplinary action, and Hildebrandt was able to consult with an attorney before doing so, a stipulation and order regarding the surrender states. The division has not issued a finding of unlawful conduct. Responding officers then found Franke’s 10-year-old daughter malnourished in Hildebrandt’s home, authorities said. The two children were taken to a hospital for medical treatment; they and two of Franke’s other children have since been placed into state custody, according to charging documents.
