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.

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.
