YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The arrests of Ruby Franke and Jodi Hildebrandt shocked the country and exposed a case of extreme child abuse hidden behind parenting advice and counseling. Now, a new Netflix documentary, Evil Influencer: The Jodi Hildebrandt Story, shifts the focus squarely onto Hildebrandt — examining how prosecutors say she gained influence, isolated Franke, and helped create the conditions that led to abuse inside her home. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber breaks down the new series and the lasting fallout of this case with Stephanie Collins, a former client of Hildebrandt who says she was directly subjected to Hildebrandt’s counseling methods and manipulation.
