Summary

Ruby Franke makes shocking claims in court. The mom accused of child abuse, claims that one of her minor children sexually abused siblings, and molested several other family members,  and children in the neighborhood, for years.

 Franke alleges one of her children began looking at pornography at just 3 years old.  Franke says two children played a "patting game" with each other, but did not give details to the court about that game. 

Franke provided no proof of her allegations. The judge then said that her alleged abusive child 'will then need to be placed in a home with no other children.'
