00:00 Ruby Frank's husband didn't want her to leave him, won't sling mud after abuse charges.

00:05 Lawyer, Even Frank is hoping to heal the past trauma and events with his children after their mother was arrested on child abuse charges.

00:12 His lawyer tells Kevin Frank, the husband of disgraced vlogger Ruby Frank, did not choose to leave his wife,

00:18 but won't point fingers at her either after she and her business partner Jodi Hildebrandt were charged with child abuse.

00:24 Kevin's attorney tells TODA.com,

00:26 Ruby, 41, and Hildebrandt, 54, were arrested late last month in Ivins, Utah after the two youngest Frank children were found emaciated by police,

00:36 according to a probable cause affidavit previously obtained by P.U.P.O.

00:40 Officers arrived at Hildebrandt's home to check on the kids after a neighbor called 911,

00:44 reporting that Ruby's 12-year-old son had come to his house covered in wounds, asking for food and water.

00:50 Kevin's attorney, Randy Kester, has portrayed the father as a very gentle person who had no role in his children's alleged abuse.

00:56 Kevin and Ruby share six children, who range from ages 10 to 20.

01:00 Four of the Franks' children were taken into child protective services following Ruby's arrest last month.

01:05 She continues to be held in jail without bail after a hearing for her and Hildebrandt was delayed on Monday until sometime in early October.

01:12 Kester told TODA.com that Kevin and Ruby had been separated at Ruby's directive for about 13 months.

01:18 "Kevin did not want to be separated," Kester claimed to the outlet.

01:22 "He wanted to work through concerns as a family.

01:24 There was never a formal, written decree of separate maintenance or separation agreement.

01:28 The separation was under terms prescribed by Ruby and Jodi Hildebrandt."

01:32 Kester also told the outlet that Kevin is currently working on mending his relationship with his children.

01:37 "Kevin is making an effort to rebuild and bridge these relationships rather than sling mud and point fingers," Kester told TODA.com.

01:45 "He is focused on doing what is best for his kids at this point, even if that means undergoing some introspection."

01:51 Neighbors have told P.U.P.L. that Ruby would often travel back and forth to Hildebrandt's home in Ivins, Utah,

01:56 about four hours away from the Franks' house in Springville, Utah, and would stay for weeks.

02:01 She would often bring her two youngest children with her while leaving her two teenage girls home alone in Springville for weeks on end.

02:07 One neighbor described it as "odd."

02:08 The neighbor, who spoke with P.U.P.L. on the condition of anonymity, said earlier this month.

02:13 Over the past year, the neighbor described the Frank children's presence in the neighborhood as "dwindling."

02:18 "She really started isolating her kids," the neighbor said.

02:21 Last week, Frank's sister Bonnie Holine spoke out about her nieces and nephews' alleged abuse and laid blame on Kevin,

02:27 saying he was the one person that could have done something to help the kids but that the family had zero contact with him.

02:33 "It was Kevin's job to check in on the kids and he did not," Holine said in a YouTube video.

02:38 Kester addressed the comments in his interview with TODA.com,

02:41 saying, "I think she admits that she, too, was out of the loop and had not had any contact with the children herself."

02:47 "Kevin is more interested in reaching out to his children, family, and friends to heal the past trauma and events," Kester added.

02:53 Kevin and his attorney appeared in a Utah court on Monday for a second custody hearing for the kids.

02:58 Ruby and Kevin's oldest daughter, 20-year-old Sherry Frank, was also in attendance, the Salt Lake Tribune reports.
