I feel really bad for Todd. Clearly he didn’t have a great life and Matt knew he was an easy target. It’s unfortunate but child SA victims will sometimes entice other kids to be SA’d by their abuser too. I’ll bet that’s what was happening
It's too bad Todd didn't just take off with Matt. What a terrible, awful position to be put into. I'm very glad Matt told his dad what happened right away AND that his dad actually listened to him. Unfortunately, too many parents don't.
Haven't really had a chance to hear your stories since you hit a 1 million (congratulations again) due to be being so busy. But I'm glad I'm Back to normal now! Bedtime + wireless headphones + Joel narrating stories = perfect!
I'm not a teacher, but I'm a mom...I would big-time tell my kids a story like that. "Let's hope you're not poisoned by those poisonous bugs I told you to stay away from!" 😂 How dumb that she was fired.
I ran my mom's kindergarten school for 3 years and faced a lot of these issues. No dangling earrings were allowed, nothing sharp or metallic, and certain kid's bags were checked before entering the school everyday (we found knife or scissors in them everytime in spite repeatedly warning the parents and pleading to take action). True only about 2 or 3 in a 100 student would show these sociopathic tendencies, but when it comes to toddlers that is more than enough. I remember saying a prayer everyday I was able to send every single child home safely with their parents and thankfully God carried us safely through those trying times without a single mishap.
That totally made me so mad! Like expelling a preschooler was going to do anything to help him! That poor kid should have been removed from that home. And, he should have been kept in the preschool, so he could have had some normalcy in what was probably a very abusive situation at home.
Also, the reason they flipping expelled him made zero sense. Expelling a preschooler who's nails are too long? They could have clipped them for him... especially after he hurt another child by scratching her. If the "parents" complained, the teachers would have been justified in clipping the nails.
You are so right. My dog has epilepsy and (knock on wood) it's been 4 months since her last episode. I've learned to remain outwardly calm but seeing her in such a state is always gutwrenching.
This video brought back some painful memories... I did a lot of moving around as a kid and I was relentlessly bullied in every school I went to. I eventually just said screw it, dropped out at sixteen, and eventually got my GED... Sadly, bullying doesn't end when you leave school and I still get death threats and the like. It sucks.

As a child growing up with epilepsy, story 14 really hit me in the heart:,) having seizures in public is mortifying and to this day I don’t bring it up to people unless I absolutely have too.
i learned about epilepsy early in life and what to do about it (protect their head and don't let them get up too soon after the seizure. also the biting tongue thing which is no longer recommended, thank goodness). it wouldn't have bothered me even as a child.
The stories involving teachers in this video makes me glad my mom actually didn't become a teacher like she wanted to. The rest makes me glad that this time of life is over for me.
The mom who beat up the bully reminded me of something that happened at my school. A mom heard that her child was going to get jumped by people from another school and brought a gun. I wasn’t there but there were pictures and it was on the news. Moms will do anything to make sure their kids are safe
Hopefully you read this message, I just wanted to say that of all my hours listening to your stories and watching dozens of your videos, it’s super convenient that you put like the chapters for stories because I listen to them everywhere and sometimes falling asleep and I dream about the details in the story ur narrating and it’s pretty cool but scary because it turns into a nightmare lol and sometimes I wanna listen back to some of the more scary/interesting stories but my point is the chapters in the videos are really helpful so thank you sm :)
Absolute perfect timing. Currently working on a few commissions and I love long true scary story compilations. Yours are always the best when it comes to setting up mood and atmosphere. Hope you’re doing well, and thanks for all the hard work you do with consistently posting new videos!
Amen. Too many kids are taking their own lives because of bullying. And schools aren't doing much to stop the bullies only to punish the victim when they have enough and snap on the bully.. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
That seizure story with the computer lab was honestly heartwarming. OP didnt care about her condition but gushed about how brave she was. What a good friend!❤️
@Dmitri Krotchlikmyov it was a joke that was made over a live with Joel, the name stuck. We are all part of the "butter-sock cult" as Joels subscribers, welcome! 😅 PS, the live streams are hilarious, join us!
i appreciate the parents in story 2 for being angry at the teacher. it’s the right thing to feel in the situation, especially with a kid who’s been through something traumatic with their teacher!! a good bit of parents would just think their kids are fibbing, sadly :-(
I'm usually getting a new story update while I'm working my second job on Wednesdays. I'd be walking out to my car late and wonder, "what did Joel put out for the Buttersock fam?" I'm never disappointed. Also not broke! Lol 😆
Well its a common thing that happens that shouldn't be happening at all to any kid but he was getting groomed I'm assuming since op left when the cops came and looked.through the window most likely he was getting SA'd which is why he begged not to leave which is sad honestly
The second story 💀. I swear some teachers just hate kids. I’m sure almost everyone had a teacher that was always just miserable and did everything in their power to mess with their students. I never understood why they became teachers in the first place.
Maybe she didn't. She could have just been having a bad day with a lot of kids acting up. Or a bad school year. She could have even just been burned out from the job. What she really needed was some training to help her handle student behavior problems in a better, less traumatic way. I hope she was able to get that help before teaching in another area.
I'm a preschool teacher and a couple of my kids were supposed to be down for nap but we're causing me grief. A couple of dudes got up to work on the roof and we could all see them through our ceiling windows. I told them that the men were gonna take them if they weren't lying down. My biggest behavior didnt really care, but my other one absolutely did after a little bit. She cried and said "I don't want them to take me" to which i reassured her that they were only coming for her classmate because he wasn't on his bed and was causing some issues. My ex co-teacher would tell the kids that if they didn't behave he was gonna call Santa and tell him to cancel Christmas. That worked very well on one who doesn't do well with punishment.
Hey Joel, I enjoyed these great and creepy stories!!! You are amazing and I appreciate all that you do 💙🖤 Thank you!!! Much love ❤️ xx May God bless you, keep you healthy and safe ❤️🙏❤️
Got out down on lockdown in middle school for a whole school day , my uncle was a cop and told us a cop thought he got shot at it was a bad area but apparently the cop had gotten drunk so the perceived threat realistically never happened. Small Town probs. And our school was on the news for being one of the worst schools in the valley so that was fun .😊
Wow, too the kid who thought he got poisoned. If I was the teacher I'd have done the same thing. Little brats got the teacher sacked. It was a lie yes, but in a good cause. Well done little turd
The one who had the Vietnam vet for a coach. You should have stood for the flag for tge ones he didn't save. Not just for what he went through but for what all of them went through
I think you can guess what they saw. It's the same reason why this grown ass man wanted to get the kids friend drunk. His parents probably moved after what happened to him. And he probably needed serious therapy. It seems like from the story that wasn't the first time the storyteller's friend went to visit the man with the beer. So it probably happened multiple times.
That story about the kid “Bobby” I had a student that was 2 and basically chock slammed another child. Let’s just say the father wasn’t too surprised 😲
The stories involving kids who come from a bad home and the like, like why do the couples have kids if they can't look after their kids? Like what the hell is wrong with the parents?
The first one reeks of child abuse and borderline pedophilia so I just nope'd myself out of there with a sick gut feeling. I've been in a similar situation and it's a personal trigger of mine.
oh man, I had scissors thrown at me when I was in elementary, luckily they didn't hit me. but the teacher didn't believe me when I told her and who it was, because it was her favorite student who always got to play angry birds on her iPad during class. ..
One of the schools I attended, there was a similar incident; however, the girl didn't get her ear ripped off, she just got her earrings ripped out. I remember an ambulance turning up and not knowing why until someone told me. It was awful.

I also think with him begging him to stay he probably knew something was wrong but didn't know what to do and wanted oh boys help.

Same! Sometimes they don’t listen when you say don’t touch something!

Road tripping with this in the back ground. 10 hours down 3 more to go
The adults in story 8 should’ve called CPS. Crazy how you can recognize that it’s learned behavior but you don’t call CPS like ur supposed to.
That totally made me so mad! Like expelling a preschooler was going to do anything to help him! That poor kid should have been removed from that home. And, he should have been kept in the preschool, so he could have had some normalcy in what was probably a very abusive situation at home.

the epilepsy one was relatable, my mother is an epileptic and honestly, no matter how much you get used to it, it’s always scary
You are so right. My dog has epilepsy and (knock on wood) it's been 4 months since her last episode. I've learned to remain outwardly calm but seeing her in such a state is always gutwrenching.
I don't know anyone with epilepsy, nor have I witnessed anyone have an episode, but I completely agree with you that it's always scary.

@@olliemcgovern6625 What's funny about getting bullied everywhere?? Just don't comment, and kindly grow the f up.
That first story bugs me because I can't tell if Todd was killed or SA?

Probably both honestly

I had absence seizures and I had to carry my liquid medicine with me to school to go to my dads house. I’ve had people pull it out and spill it
You have a clear voice and a certain style which makes the audience feel intrigued in your narrations, and keep up these videos, there awesome
His voice is clear. 💯 and he does the characters and accents too. I think that's why he's my favorite narrator

ending had me bawling
Could easily listen to you tell stories all day. And truth be told I have a time or two😄 😊
perfect timing as always
Anyone else really want to know if Todd was okay? WHAT HAPPENED?! This kid really never asked his Dad?
I do! What in the world did the police see through the window? Was Matt doing something to Todd???? My mind was spinning listening to end.
Well its a common thing that happens that shouldn't be happening at all to any kid but he was getting groomed I'm assuming since op left when the cops came and looked.through the window most likely he was getting SA'd which is why he begged not to leave which is sad honestly
The only way to change bullying is if the young man had set the bully alight, as opposed to himself.
