Hero Cops Save Kids Trapped in House of Horrors

A 12-year-old boy, severely malnourished with open wounds covered in duct tape, escaped a Utah mansion and knocked on a neighbor's door begging for food and water [citation:1][citation:5]. Inside, police found his 9-year-old sister, also starved and traumatized [citation:1]. The children had been tortured for months by their mother, YouTuber Ruby Franke, and her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt [citation:5]. They were forced to work outside without shoes, denied food and water, and told they were "evil and possessed" [citation:5]. The heroic rescue by police saved the children from an unimaginable house of horrors [citation:1][citation:5].
