Introduction
One of the two social media influencers accused of child abuse has surrendered her mental health counseling license, according to officials.
License Surrendered
The Utah Division of Professional Licensing (DOPL) announced on Tuesday that Jodi Hildebrandt has voluntarily surrendered her license and is now placed on limitation to practice.
The DOPL statement said, “Since her arrest, DOPL, along with the Utah Attorney General’s Office, has been working with Hildebrandt’s lawyer to secure the voluntary surrender of her professional license with limitations, ensuring that she cannot practice if released.”
Background
Hildebrandt was arrested along with her business partner Ruby Franke on Aug. 30 after one of Franke’s children was found by a neighbor with open wounds and appeared malnourished.
Hildebrandt is the owner of Connexions Classroom, a company that provides parenting and masterclass courses.
Investigations have revealed that Hildebrandt’s juvenile niece had reported mistreatment to the American Fork Police in March 2010, alleging physical and verbal abuse while under Hildebrandt’s care.
Conclusion
The surrender of Jodi Hildebrandt’s mental health counseling license highlights the serious allegations of child abuse against her and her business partner Ruby Franke.
