Ruby Franke's eldest daughter Shari has addressed Utah lawmakers to advocate for further protections for child influencers. In a lengthy statement, the 21-year-old said she was raising awareness on 'the dangers of family vlogging'. Shari's mother Ruby, who was a popular influencer and YouTube star, was sentenced to up to 30 years in prison in February for brutally abusing her 12-year-old son and nine-year-old daughter in a 'concention camp-like setting'. 

Addressing the Business and Labor Interim Committee on Oct 16, Shari said, 'I don't come today as the daughter of a felon, nor a victim of an abnormally abusive mother. I come today as a victim of family vlogging.' She continued, 'It is more than just filming your family life and putting it online. It is a full time job, with employees, business credit cards, managers, and marketing strategies.' 'The difference between family vlogging and a normal business, however, is that the employees are all children.' Shari then went on to share some of her most traumatic experiences as a child influencer. 'Some of our most popular videos were when my eyebrow was accidentally waxed off, and the whole world saw a crying teenager who just wanted to mourn in private,' she said. 'Or the time I was violently ill, and got the leading role in the video for that day. My friends became scarce, because dates would be filmed and none of my friends wanted to be on camera.' 

She added, 'If I could go back and do it all again, I’d her have an empty bank account now and not have my childhood plastered all over the internet. No amount of money I received has made what I’ve experienced worth it.' #rubyfranke #crime #news
