YouTube 'mommy blogger' Ruby Franke wrote 'I will not feed a demon' in sadistic diaries she kept as she starved and tortured her children 

The disgraced YouTube mommy blogger, 42, was sentenced to up to 30 years in prison in February for brutally abusing two of her own children in a 'concentration camp-like setting'

On July 10, 2023, she wrote that it was her son's birthday, but 'he doesn't even know what month it is.' Her diaries were filled with religious fanaticism and beliefs that her children were 'possessed' by the devil 

Franke detailed months of daily abuse that included starving her son and nine-year-old daughter, forcing them to work for hours in the summer heat and isolating them from the outside world.

She often made the kids sleep on hard floors and sometimes locked them in a concrete bunker in the basement.

Franke insists repeatedly in her journal that her son is possessed by the devil. In a July 2023 entry titled 'Big day for evil,' she describes holding the boy's head under water and closing off his mouth and nose with her hands. 

Franke tells him the devil will lie and say she is hurting him but that she is actually trying to save him.

She later justifies withholding food and water from her son, writing, 'I will not feed a demon.'

The disgraced YouTuber also wrote how her son 'refuses to do wall sits - he says he is done', the day before saying he 'is to stay outside. Sleep outside.'

Often including writings of the Devil or 'possession,' she added that another child, noted as 'E' in the heavily redacted document, 'refuses to work. Screams. Has hair shaved off.' 

The Utah mom-of-six displayed religious fanaticism throughout the diary as she wrote often of punishing her kids because she believed they were 'possessed' by the devil.

In one instance, she said her young son was gripped by 'Satanic chaos', and said her children were suffering from 'deviant behavior'.

'They are both furious their selfish sinful lifestyle is being intervened upon,' Franke wrote in another diary entry.

When they were saved from her home, the children said they were punished and tortured by their mother as a way to help them.

The mom wrote that R was 'in and out of possession', and that she told him 'that he needs God. I invited him to fast and pray.'

Franke also wrote of her children 'stealing water' and depriving them of food, and said she 'cut more (hair) off E's head. We doused her w/ water in the dog wash.'

She wrote that her children 'have been spawns of Satan', and said when one of her kids tried to run away, she 'screamed for another family, water, food, care, love.'

On July 10, 2023, she wrote: 'It's (R's) birthday. He doesn't even know what month it is.'

She claimed E and R were in 'so much deviant behavior they won't control their bodily functions', adding: 'They are both furious their selfish sinful lifestyle is being intervened upon.'

'I told (R) he imitates a snake. He slithers, sneaks around looking for opportunities when no one is watching, then he scurries,' she wrote on the birthday diary.

The next day, Franke began by writing that it was a 'Big day for evil.'

'(R) was told to stand in the sun w/ his sun hat/ He is defiant, 'No.' I tell him a couple more times. (R), or should his say his demon, stays in the shade.'

In another entry, she wrote that poking her kids 'is a strategy/ technique', and (R) 'seems to respond to poking, pouring cold water, towel whip' 

Despite inflicting horrific abuse on her kids, she wrote in one diary entry that modern children are too 'comfortable' and that 'stripping a child's world' is 'necessary' 

Her writings often including unhinged religious fanaticism about demons and the Devil, and blamed her children's incontinence on 'Satanic choices' 

She wrote that her children 'have been spawns of Satan', and said when one of her kids tried to run away, she 'screamed for another family, water, food, care, love' 

She then detailed forcing her son to bake in the sun and prodding him with a 'cactus poker' whenever he tried to move into the shade.

After allowing him back out of the heat, she doused him with 'old mop water', writing: 'It's hot outside. 'It feels good, doesn't it?' Yes.'

'The devil doesn't like when you get your subject from anger to truth,' she added.

In another entry, she wrote that poking her kids 'is a strategy/ technique', and (R) 'seems to respond to poking, pouring cold water, towel whip'

Franke's business partner Jodi Hildebrandt was also referenced numerous times throughout the diary, including Franke feeling her kids stop being 'possessed' around her, then 'act up' once alone.

Hildebrandt was also sentenced to up to 30 years behind bars as she was arrested alongside Franke, and the diary's references to the kids not being 'possessed' around her come despite Hildebrandt also taking part in the sadistic abuse.

When investigators found Franke's house of horrors, one of her children told them that Hildebrandt had tied him up and used home remedies to treat the wounds he suffered.

The convicted child abuser, 42, wrote how one of her sons 'refuses to do wall sits - he says he is done', the day before saying he 'is to stay outside. Sleep outside' 

Franke wrote of trying to speak to her son, 'or should I say, his Demon', about his behavior
