“Today has been a big day," Shari wrote in a follow-up Instagram story last week. “Me and my family are so glad justice is being served. We’ve been trying to tell the police and CPS for years about this, and so glad they finally decided to step up.”
Shari then asked her followers to begin gathering potentially problematic clips from her mother’s YouTube pages, including 8Passengers, which documented the family’s daily life, as well as her Connexions parenting podcast that Franke co-hosted with Hildebrandt.
“Connexions and ‘moms of truth’ needs to go,” Shari wrote in another Instagram story last Friday. “Please report their Instagram accounts, and encourage EVERYBODY to unfollow them. They do not deserve such a large audience.”
It is unclear if Franke or Hildebrandt have entered pleas or retained attorneys to speak on their behalf.
