Summary

It’s the middle of the desert and the pavement is scorching hot. If you dare to step barefoot on it, it’s the equivalent of sticking your foot on a cast iron pan on high heat. Enough to cause instant blisters. But the 12 year old boy has no choice. He has once more chance to escape and he needs to make it to a neighbors house for safety. He crawls out the window and starts pacing. If nobody is home - that could be the end. There are only 3 homes in this part of the desert. The 1 he’s been locked up and tortured in. The 1 where nobody would answer the door. And 1 last chance. If he can make it there before they catch him. Or if the duct tape around his ankles don’t melt into him. August 30, 2023 - this little boys escape will kick start an investigation into one of the biggest family vloggers on YouTube. This is the case of Ruby Franke - the woman who has been vlogging herself abusing her 6 kids for years, and has locked away the two youngest in a windowless safe room - to be tortured.

0:35.7	until you keep looking at the pictures on Google images,

0:42.8	beyond the mountains, there's just nothing. It's just desert. You cannot even find any shade,
0:49.0	really, in Ivan's Utah. There's no trees. You go to your backyard. It's like a red canyon. You feel like a little scorpion
0:57.3	is about to crawl out into your house. And instead of trees, they have these green balls. Like,
1:03.5	think of like watermelons without the stripes. And they're pokey. They're, they're cactuses all over your
