This video is going to be hard for some of you to watch, but I think its important to talk about it. Thank you for your time.
Hey man!
Hi Phil :)
Philip DeFranco I have been waiting all day!!! You had me so excited:)
Philip DeFranco Wow... these parents are sick...
Phil is the only guy to be selfless and tell it like it is. Mass media newstories need to take a fucking note
"you're the only one who can't take a joke." this is emotional abuse. no doubt about it. it's alienating cody from the rest of the family and invalidating his (very warranted) pleas to stop, and god there's so much more in this to talk about from this video but this struck me in particular.
donnie m Exactly, there was many times where Cody screamed "leave me alone" and that just broke my heart
donnie m Definitely Narcissistic abuse!
"Can't take a joke" smh what joke? It's not funny it's like watching a trainwreck
donnie m is ur profile pic chloe from life is strange
donnie m the parents dont know a joke to a emotional scarring.
"I want to be left alone so I can calm down"
When the abused child is the most mature one of the situation....
Sensitive Athe the girl is emma
THIS! He actually articulates quite well how he is feeling even when he is really worked up and upset. That’s a time when you could reasonably expect someone to be angry and irrational, but he still somehow manages to articulate himself.
Makes a huge difference to the parents who can only argue back that he should “take a joke” and “stop being a butthole” like children. Their mental development seems to have stopped when they were 9.
him saying that broke my heart. that poor kid.
No proper parents would hurt their children mentally like that, if this mum and dad read my comment just know, you are sick bastards.
A majority of the time, children going through any kind of trauma tend to mature a lot quicker, i went through quite a bit of f-ed up shit a couple years ago and a few people in my family have mentioned that I’m more mature then most of the adults in my family 😅
I started crying when the little one said, "I just want to be left alone".. That's heartbreaking.
Me too. I'm sitting here at work, trying to not cry. That poor kid. I'm glad that he is finally out of that situation, and that his mom has custody. Hopefully she will treat him (and his sister) better, and get him the therapy that he will likely need.
I felt helpless just watching it. I wanted to rush to his defense. And some of the actions their children committed against Cody...it feels like they're literally pitting them against each other. So not only is he pretty much the ONLY one getting abused, the one place where he should feel safe is his biggest hell. I'm honestly ecstatic to hear CPS finally stepped in.
Dustin O'Bryant isn't his mom one of the ones screaming at him in these so called pranks?
esse mick that's his stepmom
To quote someone from Daz Games's video:
"Pie in the face is a prank. Mentally abusing a child is not a prank."
@Ritchie Yeah I think it did sadly.
TH-cam be bitchin like Snake do when Major tell him that lunchables need another 30 years to be created
@@shannon_not_found sad
Mother: "are you traumatised?"
Kid "no, I don't know what that means but no"
Clear manipulation.
.......Jesus Christ Almighty...
And one of the kids said at least you don’t beat us like most parents. Most not other.
During that being said, Cody looked MISERABLE! Emotions don't lie...
lakitubomber ooo I can't think of a time where Cody ever looked truly happy, which I don't blame him for, his family is awful
Diva of the Damned! Exactly!!
Coming from a home of abuse, if you asked my little brother at Codys age if he loved his daddy he would say yes. If you asked him if daddy plays with him he would say yes. Moral of my comment is that kids don't understand where the abuse line is drawn.
They just understand that this is the way mommy and daddy are. It's really sad.
A K This is very true. Great comment.
A K Yessss!!!!
KenazCreative On another video they ask the little guy if he is okay and he says yes. Well of course he is going to say yes! this is normal for their family. it makes me so mad
A K I totally agree
"you all made me go through all of this just for a stupid prank??" i think that speaks volumes just by itself.
Poor kid...
Fuck daddy o five
No more words needs to be spoken.
TH-cam have to do something about that.
You cant expose-use your kids-on the web ,just to make profit from
them,i am not just talking only about Daddy of five,there is a lot of
TH-camrs do that .
I understand people, love the Big brother, but lets be real. when he
have to do with kids5-12 years old,we have to be very careful.and think
twice before expose them online and push them do thinks alot of the
times they dont want.
People get mad and angry about Daddyofive, when they saw him abuse his
children at some of his video.
Come on lads.stop fool our selfs,the abuse has started by the time this
daddy,deside to upload videos with his kids age 5 to 12,online.not just
today that all the world witness this child abuse videos!
Some TH-camrs realize that this is wrong, and remove from their vlogs
daily ,videos with their children,like Casey Neistat,at the other hand
some other are ready to expose to the web,their newborns for some more
$$$!
If you think thats is ok for someone to use his underage kids at any
way for profit,then do your stuff lads, lie to your selfs that there is
nothing wrong about that ,and keep supporting them and when the time
comes do the same with your own childs!!
Russians writing in broken Swedish... this is new.
It's 3 years later but you still need to be proud of what you did. This man and his wife needed stopping . Thanks to this video the youngest two at least have the chance to get back their childhood.
It was sooo fucked up.
@@BlueTilda96 They also have so many supporters too. I don't understand how people can be like this
No there mom beat them before and later still
Cody is by far the most emotionally intelligent person in that house. The fact that he time and time again recognizes that the treatment he's receiving is wrong "you put me through all this for a STUPID PRANK" calls his parents out "you don't love me, you don't like me" (which can be seen in the multiple, yes, multiple videos where they try to convince him they're getting rid of him), and the fact that he time and time again tries to escape the family, escape the camera, begs to be left alone so he can cool down, even once clearly saying that he just wants to be left alone so he can calm down, all of this shows what an incredible little boy he is in spite of the abuse. This is a textbook example of a narcissistic household dynamic, Cody is clearly the black sheep of this family, and yet he is sooo strong. Despite the odds, I have very high hopes for Cody and I hope someday he's able to heal and break the cycle of abuse for himself. I hope he gets the help he needs.
kaitytransform If Cody doesn't it'll be bad
kaitytransform Families like those are where serial killers come from. Here's to hoping Cody stays strong and CPS takes those kids away from those two repulsive wastes of life.
kaitytransform I know right
He needs his real mother and to get away from that abusive household
wait that woman's not his real mom?
As someone who was emotionally abused throughout my entire childhood, that is absolutely abuse! During that clip of the invisible ink, I was damn close to having what I can only assume was a panic attack... I've never had one before but I've also not witnessed child abuse since being the victim myself. I need some cat videos to recover from this. Yeesh.
Shelby C Also look up "Dogs who fail at being dogs", it's still one of my go-to videos for happy thoughts
Mstcartman Ah perfect thank you. I do love a good dog who can't catch things.
This is my reaction too. That first clip with the mom yelling and swearing made my heart race.
I dropped the f bomb in front of my kids the other day, I felt so bad.
This is completely emotional abuse and those poor kids, they don't have a clue what dysfunction they are living in and will probably repeat with their own kids. Glad to hear right CPS is involved.
Now to watch some cat vids ;)
Shelby C Watch the one where they pretend to kick cody out.
Frontflip Wow. I had a very similar experience to this. I also remember vividly asking my mom if she loved me, because I didn't believe that she did. Poor Cody. I'm glad that he is away from that situation now, and hope that his mother is treating him like a human being.
When Cody was pushed into the shelf I physically recoiled. How can any adult do this to a kid without vomiting? All those children, including the ones who have been encouraged to become bullies, are victims of abuse and will deal with the scars from this treatment well into adulthood.
This is an old comment, but I agree. A lot of people don't seem to realize that the kids being encouraged to abuse their siblings are largely doing so a) to avoid being abused and screamed at themselves and b) because it gets positive reinforcement from the parents. That's why some videos you see the girl joining in on the "pranks" and some she's the victim.
I'm glad the youngest two are away from them now, but the other kids are still gonna have a lot of shit and trauma to push through.
If you have to scream at someone's face "TAKE A JOKE!!!", then your joke wasn't funny...
ESPECIALLY when it's your own kid. These people are *astoundingly* thick skulled to use their children's implicit trust in them as parents against them for shitty, mean-spirited pranks. Apparently it's been a long time since they remember being kids themselves to feel so proud of 'outsmarting' them by screaming at them and calling it a prank. Complete sociopaths.
imakefoodhappen exactly! just cuz u say "just joking!" after doing something awful does NOT make it funny
eatturpentine ya its sickening. that was obviously how they might really react when their kids do something bad and thats not ok either. screaming "what the fuck did you do???" is not good parenting. its bullying at best and abuse at worst
Your comment made me think of the Joker
No shit. These people need to be in jail.
symptoms of child abuse: slower than normal development, unusual interaction with a parent (constantly trying not to upset the parent/avoiding the parent), mental health problems, behaving in a way that isn't appropriate or causes problems
signs of abuse: yelling or swearing, name calling or insults, threats and intimidation, ignoring or excluding, isolating, humiliating, denial of abuse/"it was just a joke."
thought i'd leave that here.
fake or not, their behavior is VERY CLEARLY negatively affecting cody, and they don't give a fuck about it. i'm disgusted.
maxxy not to mention that he is the only kid that doesn't say it's a prank or fun. He just sits there with a blank expression. You can't tell me that they haven't damaged that poor kid.
symptoms of HILARIOUS PRANKS : slower than normal development, unusual interaction with a parent (constantly trying not to upset the parent/avoiding the parent), mental health problems, behaving in a way that isn't appropriate or causes problems
signs of PRANKS: yelling or swearing, name calling or insults, threats and intimidation, ignoring or excluding, isolating, humiliating, denial of abuse/"it was just a joke."
obviously not siding with the family, they're fucked and so is that whole situation.
maxxy yup.
maxxy Mhm, signs are there. I'd say very obvious case of emotional abuse that the family doesn't recognize because they probably don't believe someone can be emotionally abused most likely.
Whether it's fake or not, no child should ever be exposed to such disgusting behaviour. Absolutely disgraceful.
hell, i draw the line at fake disney trip pranks
If people are viewing this recently, there has been multiple updates. First of all, the mother is actually the step-mum, but the father is actually the biological father. The biological mother and (I think) her mother was fighting in court for the rights to fully look after her children. She showed these videos as evidence. Eventually, her and her mother won, and now she has custody of her children. They are now doing well in their biological mother’s presence. The farther and the step mother had been investigated, and they’ve been arrested with multiple abuse charges (allegedly) Please like this comment so other people who are also worried about where they are now.
Thank God That The Kids Are Ok, This Was Disgusting, I Have No Sympathy for The Father and His Girl
this was the biological father? he treated her own flesh and blood son like this?
And the biological mother beat them before and after they lost them
"I want to be left alone to calm down" is such a mature way to handle something, and it's so incredibly sad that a young kid has clearly had so much trauma that they've had to develop a mature way to handle abuse.
Well said
Screaming "What the fuck Cody ....!!! " "Fuck ......what the fuck !" to a 7- year old to me is child abuse .
AGREE.
And in a lot of states, it is now being considered emotional and verbal abuse. Verbal and emotional trauma are slowly but surely being recognized.
missplasticpony exactly! i grow up with a parents who never swear in front of me and my sister because they don't want us to swear too. a lot of good morals and right conduct. Now im a grown woman been in this world for almost 28 years and is now a mom to my now 9 month old daughter, i really get now (not like i didn't get it before) but as a parent myself, it is really important to treat your child with love and respect and if you want to teach them good morals and right conduct you have to be it first. A child molds their character through the people around them, the parents is the most important people for that matter. Even if it's a "Joke" the effect in it to their heart and brain is not a joke. They are human and they have feelings. There is a reason why bullying SHOULD NOT be allowed anywhere. In this videos of DaddyOfive channel, I see it as the most unbearable bullying i have ever seen because it comes from the kids own parents. Yes They claimed it's a prank or jokes but this is absolutely an overated jokes. Not funnt and it's traumatizing not only to the kids involve but also to those kids watching it even.
that poor boy..i feel so bad... when his "dad" pushed him the first thing he was worried about was fixing the books on the shelf that got knocked out of place by his face hitting them. That, in my opinion, says it all. I am surprised they have gotten this far without losing custody. As a mother to 4 children, it would break my heart to see any of my children that upset for any reason, let alone a "prank". Abuse is abuse, both emotional/psychological and physical, whether or not you call it a prank or a joke. IT IS NOT OK. These kids obviously think abuse is ok because its covered up by the words "prank" and "take a joke" or "I'll buy you a new xbox". I just dont understand these parents at all, or the people who subscribed to their channel and agreed with this bullshit. How can you hurt your babies. Your own flesh and blood that you brought into this world. They are so precious... and it's all for money. Hopefully these parents don't get these kids back into their custody. They don't deserve them
@Jacquey Lynn, Agree with you completely.
poor tiny Cody is reacting to everything like it's happened before. with the ink especially- he isn't acting surprised, hes just upset. and when he's tossed into the bookshelf, he doesnt start crying loudly right away like most kids do. he tried to make sure things didnt fall off.
i shudder to think what happened in the past when he was pushed into something and things fell from the shelf.
when youre abused like this and you have so little outlook into the outside world, you dont start thinking about it for quite some time. you have the sense that it's not fair, sure, but you think thats just how life is. hell, i didnt even realize that it wasnt ok for a dad to yell at you while swigging from a bottle of whiskey he hid under the couch until i met my best friend's dad, who picked me up like a good dad and bandaged me up after i fell off a bike.
my heart just breaks for these kids over and over, especially poor cody.
im not a hater, Do5. i just hate *you.*
Underrated comment
@WILLIAM WEST its sad how bad some parents can be
It broke my heart when Cody said he wanted to be left alone so he could calm down.....
I feel exactly the same
@Nicholas DeMarco thanks, other random dude, this actually made my day :)
"they're not abusing them, they're just asshole parents who are exploiting them for money and hurting them emotionally"
yeah that's called emotional abuse and it is just as bad
"You put me through all that just for a stupid prank?" - Cody quote. Take a hint, people. What you're doing to your child is cruel.
Robyn D yeah, I wish I could give him a hug
Robyn D this poor fucking kid, man.
Robyn D very true but the parents don't give a shit, it's for the views
Bernard, i am so afraid you're right. that poor child...
Bernard Gilbert yeah, that's what I was thinking he will snap one day
In the words of Mike Birbiglia...
"If you have to say 'it's a joke', it's not a good joke."
Jordan Hanely, if you have to explain a joke, it's not funny
Jordan Hanely 👏👏👏
It is abuse. It's called emotional abuse.
Pushed into a bookshelf, etc? Upgrade. Emotional and physical abuse.
if you watch the damn video it was his brother that pushed him into the bookcase, most of the "abuse" is coming from the brothers, just watch their vids, the parents are cruel for doing those jokes/pranks, but it isnt the parents "hitting" the kids. Damn do research before you open your stupid mouth.
+Tha Muttleycrew Review I saw what you saw. My mind stands in the same place. Are not the parents recording and doing nothing to protect Cody or educate his siblings? If you do not wish to call it abuse, then you can call it neglect. Either way, emotional abuse, potential physical abuse, and obvious neglect (whoever was holding the camera pushed him into the bookshelf (I assume it's the dad)).
It's not rare for a bully to use proxies and in this case the older brothers are encouraged and rewarded to be physically abusive towards Cody, also these people are adults and parents they are wholly responsible for the violence.
all the pansy's that need and excuse to scream help them, haha, it has already been investigated people and CPS has dropped the case......LOL
Dad: Physically and mentally torments his children.
Also Dad: iTs JuSt a pRaNk!1!
my dad torments me but not in a mentally way like abuse, but I do feel bad for the children getting used and abused for just for views and money
You mean "It's just a prank bruh"
Brah
Emotional abuse is extremely serious and anyone who can defend that is disgusting.
I feel traumatized just by watching that "prank" and I am an adult who grew up in a loving home and never seen/heard my parents act like that. I can't even imagine the damage that these parents are inflicting on their kids on a regular bases. The fact that so many people sub to them and stand up for them like its not a big deal is very eyeopening. No wonder so many kids are mentally/emotionally messed up if this is considered normal parenting. Some people in the comments were saying that this is called "strict" parenting. What!? My parents were strict with us. They had high standard and consequences. But they never put us through anything close to that. I feel so sorry for people who grew up like this....
Tatyana2006 I felt the same as you while watching this. I can't imagine what growing up in a home like that would be like.
Tatyana2006 the consequences have a long term impact on the children, as they are growing up thinking this kind of behavior is normal. My mother specializes in intrafamiliar violence and she usually deals with people who come from environments like this one, this is quite common in Mexico, my country, where parents tell their boys to man up by using threats of physical violence, bullying and mental abuse to achieve a real macho out of their kids.
Tatyana2006 couldn't agree more, these parents seem to be justifying their behaviour by calling all this abuse "pranks" and then uploading it all to TH-cam for the whole world to see and normalise
Exactly!! if you stayed till the end of the video they shooting thing is not from video games but from partents acting like this to there children!!!
My parents were basically exactly the same as this It's scary
Notice how Cody doesn’t even know what the word “traumatized” means, but had to say that he wasn’t
then... he looks up . "did I say the right thing?" look on his face
I didn’t realize how true that was until you said it. Cody gets bullied and obviously targeted even tho I think he’s the youngest
Well at least Cody is now hopefully is a happy life in his new home
@Existential Crisis Core on Infinite Earths I wish Cody and Emma's real parents pressed charges on these heartless pricks
The reason why he said that is because HE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO SAY HES 6!!
This was recommended in my feed in 2020. Still incredibly difficult to watch them abusing their children and then trying to play it off like "it's just a prank, bro." Completely unacceptable behavior from supposed parents, but the thing that worries me the most is now, it's not in the public eye. Now, their accounts have been kicked offline, deleted, hounded, and every step of the way they've proven they've learned nothing from this. Even their own website, the message they posted when the were required to delete all of their videos because they disobeyed the rules of their probation, shows that they feel absolutely no remorse for what they've done. Now, what's happening behind closed doors? If that is what we saw publicly... what's happening now that it's all private? I sincerely hope those kids are all okay.
"At least you're not beating us" is one of the most obvious red flags of emotional abuse. Just saying.
100%
Cant agree more. I thought my dad wasnt that bad but god damn moment he disapeared my life got so much better. Thanks to him I have to deal with so much issues that I dont wish on anyone to deal with, no matter if adult or kid.
Allison Shockley don't forget the "like most parents" part. The only place that could be coming from is the parents. These kids think they're being treated well because they aren't being beaten.
I totally get Phil's outrage on this. That montage was very hard to watch.
A lot of people are overdramatizing their reaction towards this family that they know nothing about other than a few useless vlogs and "pranks" but I am curious.. I see nothing funny about pranking a child. what's the humor in that? Why monetize a video of you pushing a kid towards a bookshelf and him subsequently bleeding? I'm confused. Smh.
Free Smoke Anybody Can Get It No Joke it's called child abuse or assault
The thing that broke my heart was when Cody yelled “so you make me go through all this just for a stupid prank?! I’m tired of it.” or something along the lines of that.
I am ur 123rd like
Emma even said once “I want to k**l myself” they tried to bleep it so no one could see the extent of the abuse......
some people deserve the death sentence
Soviet Snake I agree 👏
Liv when did she say that???😕 I just want to give her a hug and have her move in with my family, we’re not perfect but it’s better than that “family”
I'm turning 11 this year, and before I turned 10 I was getting physically abused by my alcoholic father, he caused my mother to leave when I was 7, I have hated her since but I have been more loving to her but I still get angry every time I see her.
And now I get scared or anxious when my grandpa drinks, he doesn't hurt me, He's a "happy drunk" so I don't mind but it still gives me anxiety..so yeah I kinda feel for Cody but ya know I want to be friends with Cody so badly
Jaylen_The_Alpha :3 I hope you’re doing better now and I hope quarantine isn’t making any of this harder I’m actually pretty close to your age and I can’t imagine going through that I am really hoping that things get better and that’s great if they are please don’t feel like you’re alone because there’s so many other people are going through the same thing.
Sincerely: someone who cares
I hope you're doing ok right now💜
Jaylen, thank you for sharing. You are a brave and strong person. I hope you're ok. I'm thinking of you ❤️
I cant imagine what's that's like you are a brave person for being able to live through that god bless ✌
I'm 31. When you're older you might benefit from going to AlAnon or Adult Children of Alcoholics meetings.
You don't deserve it. It's not your fault. Please protect yourself the best you can.
The younger kid obviously feels violated and bullied. I think this is disgusting.
but he said he doesn't even know what abuse is so I guess it´s okay.*sarcasm out*
Agree. These video fragments are horrifying.
You should report their channel for child endangerment! I'm sure if the channel gets reported enough times youtube may demonetize their videos which hopefully will deter them from uploading any more of the "prank" videos.
DaddyOFive Fan mail P.O BOX
DaddyOFive P.O box 571 Damascus MD.20872
Mollie Yuill Oh he'll get some mail alright. Not so sure about fan mail though.
I think yelling "GET YOUR FUCKING ASS IN HERE" and "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO" to a 7 y/o kid and then brushing it off as a prank is mental abuse, are you kidding
Sarah Gill Their kid was screaming and obviously in fear, there's no way at all that he doesn't have something on emotionally
This break my heart. Those poor kids deserve so much better.
Joey Graceffa 100% agree
Joey Graceffa hello joey
Agree. I'm worried about how the parents are when the cameras aren't rolling. SMH.
Joey Graceffa eww
this entire video was so sad..I couldn't watch parts
"I just want to be left alone so I can calm down" I can hardly fathom what is going through that boy's mind. This is as serious as it gets.
Agrred. The fact that he can handle himself as well as he does is a fucking miracle. Such a wise child.
SinOfPhish He's the sanest one in that household. What kid asks for time to calm down? Not only am I disgusted at the parents, but I'm ridiculously proud of Cody for being so level-headed about this. It will be over soon, Cody. Keep your head above water for the time being.
SinOfPhish interestingly enough the child even points out that he's suffering for the sake of the video which sends pain to my heart. When a child points out what your doing doesn't seem right. You ,my friend, need a reality check
SinOfPhish As someone who cannot calm down from crying unless I am alone, that was the most demented and unsettling videos I've ever seen. I wanted to scream at the so called "father" to leave him alone before he passed out.
Guys, we have to go on a witch-hunt and drag these monsters that call themselves parents. They are raising future bullies, possibly even criminals. Considering how none of them have any sense of what's right or wrong.
6:22 “I’m tired of this.”
He clearly doesn’t want to be ‘pranked’ like this any more. He just wants to have a normal childhood instead of being yelled at every five minutes! This is causing him so much sadness and so much distress, it’s cruel. Pranks aren’t supposed to make your child cry, they’re supposed to make them laugh. This is so cruel and it is obviously abuse.
I mean... they literally make their child cry for views...
key word(s) FOR VIEWS!!!
They're trash.
ViralVirtually *they're
Dan France it's awful😭
What it even makes me more angry is the tone that she uses, does she talks like that to them? The change from the '' Hey guys welcome to our prank chanel''and the yelling are just disgusting.
I'm an adult and that high tense cursing, screaming, and crying situation put me on edge. The children looked terrified and I was terrified for them. No one deserves to be treated that way. Screaming at them and saying 'Haha take a joke' and seemingly pushing the kids to physically put hands on the others. Its just really upsetting. I would have hated to have these people as parents.
Brianna I was genuinely uncomfortable watching this. That poor child.
Brianna it literally gave me a massive panic attack
well put
I work at a tourist attraction and if we see parents acting this way towards their kids, we call security and CPS. It's not a prank when one side is harmed emotionally or physically.
Brianna I am 33 years old and generally incredibly desensitized...
This video made me SICK. I react less to a beheading.
The moment he said he needs to cool down tht broke me. It takes a LOT of emotional maturity to come to that conclusion instead of getting edgy or throwing a tantrum, but self awareness usually stems from intense abuse
He's the most mature of the family
A kid that age shouldn’t have to have been through the kind of trauma to be able to know and say they want to be left alone to calm down. At that age his parents shouldn’t be upsetting him first of all, but secondly they should be the ones to help comfort/calm
Even my stomach dropped when she started screaming at her kids like that.
I think this counts as emotional abuse. Cody clearly does not enjoy or consent to this. For a child of his age he's very intelligent and articulate. When he says "Leave me alone so I can calm down" he clearly knows what his emotions are like and that he can and should control them. Putting him under this consistent stress will ruin his ability to control his emotions and possible develop a mental illness. these parents aren't trying to be bad, but they are horribly mislead on what is ok and where the line between a prank and hurting someone is.
Like if I put up one of those huge nets they use to save suicide jumpers, and throw my child off a 10 story building, but he is physically uninjured. Is it all ok if I say it was a prank? like clearly there is a line that gets crossed at some point. Maybe different people have different lines, but these parents crossed my line.
JaydragonM I agree
So your argument is that they are somewhat excusable because they are ignorant of the distress they are causing? THEY ARE FUCKING BULLIES. I see this behaviour from kids to other kids and it is considered bullying, let alone a fully grown ADULT PARENT to their child.
And you know what, I would've perhaps let your comment go - but these people made a 21 minute video defending their actions, the ignorance excuse went out the window at that moment. They are intoxicated by the money and are happy to profit from the distress they are causing that kid.
The fact he's intelligent just makes it worse because he is able to comprehend and think about what is happening to him, but that will just cause him to look inwards for fault. This shit is fucking disgusting man, and I don't buy for a second that these shithead parents are innocent through ignorance. That's no excuse for a parent of 5 kids. NONE AT ALL. A parent's instinct is to love and nurture their child, not toy with it for money.
Beerman69 i hope so too and i hope wins all the money. those are terrible parents.
for Cody it honestly seems like he has ADHD just for the fact that in a video he talks about how he cant focus and his "father' talks about how he jumps and runs around a lot. also in a video Cody scratches himself to draw blood and all his dad does and screams at him and how messed up he is. its beyond fucked up.
Go Away You make some good points and while I don't quite think ignorance makes people innocent (especially in cases where it should be obvious that a line was crossed. Which you feel this is and I don't fully dissagree), I do feel that ignorance is commonplace surrounding so many issues that our duty should be more so to educate than punish. I think/hope the average person wants to "do good" most of the time, they often just don't know how.
Do you honestly think these parents want to abuse their child? Or even do you truly think the money and attention makes these parents somehow think it's ok to abuse their children?
I think it's more likely that they don't realize the full gravity of their actions.
When he was pushed into the shelf notice how he didn't even cry he worried about the shelf itself which means he's been pushed before and got yelled at that's so messed up
I sware I would just go to his house to knock him out

They lost custody of Cody!! Thank you for helping to bring attention to this abuse
Madeline Olivares what about Emma?
Ashley- 애쉴리 they lost custody of Emma and Cody.
Madeline Olivares yes now you have too kids that have been tooken from there family and feel like its there falt to grow up in a foster home never too see there brother's and sister's again because you think thats what a kid needs ive watch all daddy o fives videos and they were not abused i know what abused is i was abused as a child and i left my dads because i was abused its was a hard time not haveing a family there were many times i wished i was bever born because i hated my foster home but thats the best thing that can happen to them you think because you dont know
Tuna 156 They aren't in foster care, they are with their real mother. She got emergency custody. The woman in the videos was their step mom.
Tuna 156 And that's his second wife. Not Cody and Emma's real mom.
"I just wanna be alone so I can calm down," this poor kid is TRYING to deal with his emotions that his parents make money off of and exploit. it's really hard to see parents who not only don't address their kid's feelings, but outright capitalize on them. This has happened enough that he's had to develop coping mechanisms to deal with it. Breaks my heart.
That poor kid. My heart is breaking for him.
When I first saw the video, I thought the swearing was bad enough (although I do sometimes forget my filter, I never scream and swear AT my children!), but then seeing just how confused and scared that poor kid was just about killed me. He knew he didn't do it, and the people that he wants to TRUST, that are supposed to be on HIS side, are the ones pushing and pushing this situation in his face. A kid is supposed to be able to trust their parents. I know it is not always how it goes down, but goddamn even in some of the most abusive situations a kid will still love and trust a parent.
This kid needs an outlet, he needs his parents to see that his emotional trauma in these situations is more important that TH-cam views or money or whatever. Goddamn, basic boundaries! This kid is old enough to speak his mind and has been making it clear that he is not interested.
Just because a person is a parent, it doesn't mean they have a right to treat a kid like a piece of property! I don't know how it is in the US or in that families state, but here in the UK there was a chaneg in terminology i the legislation from 'Parental Rights' to 'Parental Responsibilities' to try and change the mindset that parents have a RIGHT to their kids and treating them however they want, to them having RESPONSIBILITY to care for them properly.
I film my kids, you film your kid. Hell many people do nowadays, but it doesn't take much effort to realise how important boundaries are when doing this. Yes, social media and mega sharing like this is still new territory and can take some adjusting to, but parenting is as old as time - does one really think they arfe doing the right thing if it ends upn causing this level of distress in a kid?!?!
Sorry. I feel I'm not being articulate enough 'cause I am just hurting so much for this kid. And for his siblings who are NOT the scapegoat and haven't been taught enough empathy to realise that just because THEY are not feeling hurt it doesn't matter that someone else is.
I'll admit I haven't taken the time to watch any more of this families videos. a) I just can't bear to watch more of that kid or any of those kids being in pain, and b) I don't want to give them any further traffic. So this means my perception is cominbg through the bias of what you've put together with your team Phil, but in this instance I feel pretty confident that you and your tram will have gone through that difficult watching to save some of us from doing it too.
I just can't stand to see kids suffering, and wholeheartedly believe emotional abuse is as damaging as physical or sexual abuse of a child. It's so so much harder to prove it though, and takes real courage and strength of CPS/social workers to put together a case of emotional abuse.
I totally agree with you
I think these parents should be stopped
Thirtyeen this was long
Scaring kids like that and on top of your own kids (not to mention making them so emotional and feeling all around crappy), is just fucked up. Some parents...seriously...someone should "prank" those parents like that and see how they like it:
"Youre going to jail now you miserable excuse of a human being!! Yeah you are complete crap, youre under arrest! This is your fault!"...later in the police car, "naa its a prank braw..."
Seriously...
What is a prank? Is it about hurting someone emotionally or physically?
Before watching this I had never seen or heard of the channel ( besides the talk about it which led me to this video) and I really didn't expect anything more than people on they internet getting upset over harmless pranks people were pulling on their kids- I expected popping up and scaring them or just a little practice joke like a fake spider or something. 15 seconds into the clip my stomach dropped. Now I'm usually not one that comments on videos like this but I just feel the need to say that this little boy looked genuinely terrified ( as I would be if my parents were constantly screaming at me that way.) To scream at your child that way for giggles and to ultimately make money off of it is deranged and seems extremely malicious. My heart goes out to this little boy and I hope that this doesn't affect him from creating strong, trusting bonds with others. :((
the thing is the channels older videos are "better" but its so shit
Natalia Zepeda Jet
I grew up in a home with screaming matches between my parents constantly until they divorced when I was 9. I used to get so scared of the loud noises, I would hide in my closet until they calmed down or one of them left.
Seeing them just scream and curse in Cody's face like that just broke my heart completely. I sincerely hope he's ok now.
Psychological abuse IS NOT PRANKING. Someone please help these children.
This is actually disgusting, respect Phil for having the balls to cover this fucked up shit!
the parents should be in jail! Horrific
I don't know why I'm getting recommended this video 5 YEARS LATER. But Jesus Christ, when that dad pushed his kid into the bookshelf, that looked horrible.
Same. Also we all get that sometimes parents do something wrong. My dad when taking in some huge boxes acsidently knocked into me and I feel down (I was like 5years old and and he was 6'7). He didn't yell at me he put the boxes down and asked if I was okay. You know like a normal fucking parent
Did anyone else notice that when Cody was pushed into the bookcase, he immediately tried to straighten the papers? That gives me the impression that he's terrified for something to fall or become out of place.
I'm so glad they're out of there. 😌
It also signs of abuse
Laracroftyeyes yeah, that's what I was trying to get at. Although I usually dont get my point across so well, I'm a much better speaker than a writer. 😅
But yeah, him being more worried about straightening up the falling papers than his own physical safety implies that he's terrified for something to go wrong, probably due to past abuse.
+Addy
I had the same when I was being mistreated by an ex. Panicked about the radiator breaking when I was pushed into it, or cleaning up his empty booze-bottles like everything was fine, while I was being cursed and screamed at in front of people.
I had to re-learn how to think of myself first, when I hurt myself. And I'm still learning. It fucking sucks that this happened to them their entire life, it's going to be hard to change the pattern.
I noticed that and when he was being asked to please left alone. I feel that when that camera wasnt rolling that could've gone worse. maybe being hit or punished worst
Is cody gone! So happy for him :)
“You’re just jealous!”
Yeah, sure, I’m jealous that my parents mentally abuse me...I’m also jealous that I don’t get yelled at and pinned down by my older brother...

@reaper shut up
Poor baby bless Cody's heart 🙏🏻🙌🏻❤
I know this is over now but seeing this video it makes me want to take Cody away and give him a day where he can just have fun and not be filmed. Just allowed to be a kid
Me too
“At least you’re not beating us like most parents.”
Umm...I’m no expert. But I don’t think most parents beat their children. Spanking maybe. But outright beating their kids (e.g. throwing them into bookshelves) doesn’t seem usual.
He's getting abused so hard that he thinks other parents beat their children like his.
Cloudymalika completely unrelated but what is that profile picture.
It's a photoshop that I did in which I removed Thomas's face and then placed it on Dora's face.
SeptimusCreed his parents probably tell him that so that he thinks it's entirely normal and doesn't tell anyone
I personally believe that spanking your kid is fine.
But this kid, this older 'step brother' to Cody, claims that they don't beat them like other parents, isn't the one getting abused.
He is actually a contributer to the abuse! The step mother fucking encourages the abuse by disguising it as pranks!
And the step brothers are even halfway willing to do it, due to Cody only being legally siblings they don't think of him as family. They think of him as the wimp of the house who isn't truly their brother, and their mother authorizes the abuse, therefore giving them the opportunity to not treat Cody like a decent human being.
Fuck the step mom, and the step kids, they all deserve to get punished.
at 6:22 - that's the strongest proof that not only the father, but the entire family has abused "Cody" over and over. "He's over it". Kids don't lie, unless they we're being coerced to do so. This is desperation on the part of the parents, in expense of the kids' psychological and behavioral growth.
Creative North I totally agree. If he's not happy doing it, it's obviously an abuse.
Creative North They're doing that to cody because he is the most susceptible to pranks, and that in itself is abusive on his part.
My dad was constantly beaten as a child for little to no reason, often times because his father simply felt like it, and nobody in his house hold did a damn thing. Often he was blamed for things and picked on by members of his own household. He ran away to live on streets halfway through high school and never graduated. Kids get fucked up when they don't get enough attention. Families picking on the youngest happens, and I don't give a damn how much you love your kid, it doesn't stop you from hurting the kid, and that's not a valid defense, being a parent doesn't give you some magically ability to be a good person or justify every action you do with your kids.
Somebody should sue those parents, especially the father for pushing cody face first on a shelf and his nose bleeds. that is f#(k3d up!
Off topic from the main issue.
Kids do lie.
I was watching my 5yo Niece for my sister the other day.
During which She wanted to talk to her mom, I said "Ok, Just let me finish what I am doing"
She sat there, and not 7 Seconds later she say "I hear the phone ringing"
being that I had a headset on I could not hear it. So I jumped up to go answer it, when I got there it was not ringing, and I realized I did not hear it while running to pick it up.
I asked Her "did the Phone really ring?" She said "yes"
I asked "Are you Sure...?"
Then she giggled, and said "No, I just want to call my mom"
They can very much Lie.
6 years later this has popped up on my recommended and it's absolutely traumatising to watch. I looked into it and saw that Cody and Emma got removed from their custody thankfully. However the family is still doing videos?!
I think most of them are re-uploads by fans and a channel run by the oldest brothers.
@@jameswhite153 no, they still making videos and calling people in comments "haters" and the abuse was just "pranks".
This Cody kid is so sweet and seems actually really smart, seriously I hope they are good

The "at least you don't beat us like most parents" is really concerning to me. As someone who was emotionally abused my entire childhood i know firsthand that one of the major ways parents keep their kids quiet is telling them that either other parents do the same thing or that other parents are meaner. Obviously that isn't cold hard proof but it really bothers me.
My parents emotionally abuse me (I am sadly still in the household) and I can agree this is true. My Dad often gets in my face and yells at me for things I have never done, and it's traumatizing. I feel like walking on eggshells in my own house and that everything I do is wrong. To top it all off when I get upset they say that he does this cause he "cares about me" or he often says "I don't hit you anymore maybe you act like this cause I don't." It's manipulative and brainwashing, cause I even say "At least he doesn't hit me." I feel horrible that these kids are going through this, but at least I know my parents aren't the only people that do this. :(

Veevidz Keep staying strong. You'll get out of that household one day and will be able to live a safe life away from your parents and have a chance at making a better person of yourself than they will ever be.
and i guarantee that's something the kid is repeating from when his parents have said it. because kids don't just say that.
Sam M, I was thinking the exact same thing.. kids just don't say that sort of thing. It sounded so rehearsed..
2:01 “which is why I expect this video to be one of my most disliked in the past month”
Almost 7 years later, this video is Phil’s most viewed and is often attributed to the reason this horrible family was broken up, and was cited by numerous news outlets who were talking about the controversy
Phil thought he’d get buried in dislikes for this video but it actually gave him much more legitimacy as a TH-cam news reporter
I understand how viewers may disagree with whether these are "pranks" or not, but surely when a parent throws his child into a bookshelf possibly resulting in blood is there anything to really argue against? This "It's just a prank bruh" cannot be used as some get out of jail free card
Rose Harris most of his viewers are teenagers or younger.
As a child who was a victim of emotional abuse, most children who are abused have no idea that what is happening to them is wrong. They think it happens to every child
Meghan McMillen yup...
Too true, it begins to happen so often that its normalised for them. Its saddening
Meghan McMillen thank you. It took me 20 years to realize I've been emotionally abused my whole life
Meghan McMillen all of this^^^^
This is very true (also speaking from experience... ptsd is fun dude)
When someone is displaying what appears to be genuine distress, you are no longer engaged in "just a prank, brah"
I do not believe that CPS has investigated them. Perhaps one representative who is a friend of the family.
It's possible this is just a persona the family puts on, but Cody looks resentful even in the "explanation" video.
Loiuzein Allieran agreed, I don't believe they have been investigated as any cps representative would have seen that as abuse and explored further
My dad used to make condescending jokes on me all the time in situations where I'd expect praise, and it was never funny to me. It gave me self-esteem issues and made me feel like unaccomplished in almost everything I do. His intention was to build character within me and instill strength, but he only created weakness ironically. I'm getting over it, and realizing how much his personality is reflected within myself and I'm disgusted all the time, because shitty parents were created from shitty grandparents, and then go on to create shitty kids. I'm tryna break that cycle, lots of therapy is necessary, emotional abuse is a mf
FOR EVERYONE WONDERING!!! Yes Cody is fine!!! He lives with his real mother now after being attacked by his two brothers for a video. One pushing him into the bookshelf the other throwing him into the door. ! He now lives with his real mother along with his sister Emma! For the others they still live with this psycho father!
Ash Whittteeerrr That’s brilliant to hear! Hope he’s all good! What they did to poor wee Cody was just bang out of order.

feel sorry for the other kids :(
Thank god! This was making me cry
May I ask how do u know
This is 100% emotional abuse
AranelEruvyreth and physical, but I think the emotional abuse hurts the most. Its sad.
When Child Welfare takes their kids away, just remember it was all just a prank bro!

^jackass and can't form a comprehensive sentence
Elilee Endale I am going to guess you are a child who does not yet have the experience, the wisdom or education to know how ridiculous what you are saying is!! (Let's hope that you are a child anyway and not an adult that should not be do stupid)! The point is it doesn't matter if it was done game or whatever the heck excuse you were trying to give for the way they treated their kids...hell I couldn't even understand your comment but it is wrong to constantly upset your chikdren like this. It is wrong to accuse them of something the parent knows they did not really do.. it is wrong to scream and holler at them about that... It is wrong to cuss at them like that.. it is wrong to continue to yell and scream at them once your child becomes so upset that he's hysterically crying...it is wrong to let TH-cam videos be more important than your child's well-being!! when making TH-cam videos upsets your kids that much it's time to stop!! these people were extremely abusive this was so very wrong and if you think it's okay and you are a child that obviously you are quite possibly in an abusive situation yourself.. if not try to put yourself in their shoes and think about how would make you feel if your parents treated you like this constantly on top of that putting it on TH-cam for everybody to see!
A "prank" should end with laughter, NOT with the person crying in hysterics and visibly exhausted by the ordeal. And if your need to vlog is more important than your childs wellfare....you seriously need to re-evaluate your life. All I see in those clips is Mental Abuse, possible Physical Abuse (with the pushing into the bookcase, dragged off the furniture,shoved etc) and BULLYING. Seriously, a mother calling her child names because he isn't "into the prank". When a parent yells at their child, its scares them, it gives you that "uh oh I'm in trouble now!" feeling. But, when a parent screams obscenities like in those clips, it terrifies the child, it causes anxiety and apprehension. Children should be laughing, playing and having fun. Not developing anxiety and hatred at such a young age. Shame on those so called "parents". Their other children might be into it, but its rather obvious that Cody isnt.
I love your first sentence. Have been on a roll watching the re-uploaded videos of daddyofive. I've never felt so sick in my life.
yeah, pranks should end in the hood
omfg when Cody said "So you make me go through all this just for a stupid prank" it actually broke my heart. i wanna cry this is disgusting.
Same here. I had to pause the video and scroll down after that... I can't handle seeing a kid treated like that, saying something like that. God I hope those kids will be okay.
It's days like this that I wish I could do something, anything that would help.
im sure it did but damn the shit they do is funny
Your disgusting..
no you are its hilarious get with it
its funny
ITS ONE OF THOSE DAYS WHERE I WISH I COULD WATHCH IT AGAIN HILARIOUS
I T S JUST A PRANK BRO
look man i might be a teenager but damn when i see something funny like daddyo5 then you just have to get with it and shit like that i might not make anyreason what so ever but daddy o 5 is hilarious and thats the end of the story
Cody is literally the only voice of reason in that household. He's the youngest one, and yet he's the smartest one out of all of them.
The entire rest of the family can go and burn in hell for what they did to cody
What about emma
"If your being abused as a child you don't want to turn on your parents." You don't want to say their abusing you. Or else when the camera turns off or they see you whenever. They will take their anger out on you
Exactly. And there’s no way they would actually upload the parts where they speak out. They control the entire situation regardless.
I got threatened with CPS so I didn't mention abuse when psychiatrist asked. I got whipped for crying about not having a dad. I would rather have been beat than yelled at.
Screaming at your children isn't remotely humorous. Pranks on your children can be funny, but framing your kids and screeching at them for views and money is shitty.
Especially with Cody, who's screaming and crying because his parents and siblings harass and hit him for fun.
Five years on and the sound of this boy crying still makes me want to hug him
These adults don’t deserve kids.
"Atleast you're not beating us"
....your father punted Cody into a bookshelf
Cody attacked him...
doesn't excuse the father
FlipAnLand, are you a fucking numpty?
A child will hit and scream at you at times as an adult and their parent you calm them down without violence not hurt them part of being an adult is having self control.
Tyler Minear "like most parents"
isn't it a sign of abuse when you give the victim gifts to make them okay with your actions? all of it screamed emotional and physical abuse
darby shook I thought the same thing!
darby shook yes. yes it is
Yes, it is one of the stages of brain washing as well. The children are being brainwashed into thinking that this behavior is normal all while they are being mentally damaged
JD Courtney it's clear already that they think actual physical abuse is "normal." At least you don't beat us /like most parents/? And you know that was told to them. Kids don't just assume that everyone beats their kids.
I don't care if it's a prank, this is definitely not ok. These parents are absolutely atrocious.
What, do you think that it's ok?
Clearly these aren't pranks. I mean I wouldn't call them pranks. It's emotionally abusive and they just add in "It's a prank bro." My god the people that support them are morons.
Noob Gaming yes, what part of this or other videos do you think is okay
It's the same when it's not a prank.
Why is this popping up in my recommended 4 years late
same
What a sick and disgusting way to yell at your child like that (even if it is a prank). That poor kid looked genuinely terrified that something was going to happen. Now they could have easily done the prank, but like "grounded" him or taken away something of his, but that mother was yelling bloody murder. Like who curses at their child?! Shit parents they are.
Man I hate yelling. That was extremely uncomfortable to watch; mostly because I've been in that kids situation with the same "I'm going to get an ass whooping" fear. Those poor kids where told to act calm like that. I know because my grandmother made be behave the same way when CPS was called on her.
Maybe I'm "soft" but as a father of two, this was hard to watch. My heart breaks for those kids, especially Cody. Maybe they truly believe this is fine and worth the abuse, but I personally can't imagine this is healthy.
I don't think your soft mate, the video riled me up too. I can't see how this sort of thing is good for the kids.
Jason Johnson holy shit I gave my son a hug after watching this I was shaken, this should be stopped very quickly
Nah, man. You are absolutely right. These people are fucked.
you dont have to be soft to be disgusted by this because it truly is disgusting
Jason Johnson you're not soft that's called being a good father
The father and mother are clearly sadistic and abusive, especially towards Cody, who seems to be the punching bag of the family. A sad and toxic environment for a kid to have to live in.
Most kids don't consider emotional abuse as real abuse until they're older and looking back on it.
Marisa Newton yes!
Because feelings aren't abuse.... but this definitely was bad. The parents are just bad at parenting.
^^^^THIS
Pray for Harambe Look up the definition of 'abuse', it is not just physical.
screaming and swearing at your 5-10 year old kids until they cry is abuse wtf
those kids are definitely going to suffer from mental health problems now and in the future
Especially if it's a prank, so it's not actually a real thing which makes it even worse
Not only do they normalise this sort of thing so that they think it's fine to do to others, regardless of how the victim may feel after, but (as far as I'm aware) kids do way better when they start off with consistency and set boundaries etc... While it could also toughen them up, I suspect the need for pranks to be unsuspected could end up with at least the youngest two expecting things to come at them from anywhere, possibly giving them anxiety problems in future...
Pranks, especially serious ones, should really wait until they are older... Well that's what I think anyway ^_^;;
These kids are going to grow up and treat their own kids like this if they don't get help.
THE KIDS ARE TWO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND (caps lock sorry)
As someone who was subjected to multiple types of abuse, I can wholeheartedly say that those parents are unfit of the title. It's incredibly saddening to see someone like Cody going through what I did as a child for money... thank you DeFranco for shedding light on this.
Samson Davis right on man! 18 is a miracle year.
CPPD unfit of the title "parent"
CPPD yeah, I would have worded it like that in the first place.
Cameron Cullen I had problems as well but benefiting from children pranks is awful and this can be the worst I have ever seen and it is repulsive especially repeating the phrase (it's just a prank bro) is a idiotic way of saying Pewdiepie supports us which is 100% wrong. I was bullied but never thrown by my father or my family telling me I am an idiot for not getting the joke in incentives my siblings to mess with me. So Cody stay strong and if you're parents do grab you like that again please contact 911 as this can be a horrible problem
Uhhh hello from 2023. I have no idea why this is being recommended to me by the algorithm now. I watched it when it was uploaded.
This is child abuse, this breaks my heart.
i f***ing agree
U need to stop hating, plus the videos are pranks, you don't get crap do you?
Minecraft Bubba then u let me do it to u then? It will be prank to throw u, yell at u and hit u. Its only humour its not like i hurt u or anything and its not called abuse pfft..
Sugagenius with Bts jjang jjang man bbong bbong that is true
Cam bomb thank got they lost the youngest kids that was good I didn't sleep coz I was so worried I spent 55 hours watching for were they lived so I can go and beat the cra^ out of the mum and dad
This is horrible. Imagine living in this house, knowing that at any moment that you're relaxing or playing, someone might run in with a camera screaming and shouting and swearing and destroying shit or pushing you around, and you never know what's "just a prank bro" or not, and that if you get upset they'll all just be worse to you and say "You can't take a joke!" That kind of shit would traumatize an adult, let alone a child. My god.
fmseastatic it makes me physically sick to my stomach how they treat their kids. if i were them i would have thrown the nearest object at the parents and walked out without hesitation.
fmseastatic it makes me want to cry
When the kids said that they were “fine” they are clearly just scared that their parents will flip out
Yup, did not feel genuine
POV: You've already watched this video but clicked to go to the comments looking for "anyone get this randomly in recommendations?"
Yes
Aren't these videos enough proof to get CPS directly involved? These videos show extreme abuse (including physical) which should be enough to get their children taken away. I want Cody safe. This is unreal. Nobody deserves this and he's just a kid and has no other place to go. He's clearly tortured.

C4 oh fun that sounds like a challenge. I have free week coming up. I think I might just digging into this and see what I can find.
Its already been found though
If you know it post it here, and ill report to CPS too
Anyone who was abused as a child will look at that and know, without a shadow of a doubt, that child is being mistreated. Those parents need to grow up and stop emotionally scarring their children for the money.
prettypistolx I resonate with that. those videos gave me a familiar feeling
prettypistolx Like the part where the kid is begging for his dad to stop recording and leave him alone just for the dad to scream "No!" Thats the point in which I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The kid deserves better.
prettypistolx Absolutely 100%. The fact that these people are profiting off abusing their children makes it even more horrifying. These are the type of parents who will go to their graves denying the abuse though, much like my parents. There will always be an excuse. I hope someone gets those kids out.
Shane Fox it's been ten years since I got out, and I'm still trying to keep it together after seeing that. I keep hearing that mom scream "why can't you take a joke" like it's his fault, and it makes me just want to hug that kid and tell him it will be okay...
Seriously their videos give me chills
That's not a prank. That's child abuse. Pure and simple. Someone please find these people and have CPS remove their children from the home. Wow, that's... just wow.
Raikirah Totally agree... What worries me more is that the kids don't notice that it's a prank which leads me to believe that they yell at them like that outside pranks
Something tells me those kids are being held hostage by the online community who delights in watching them being abused! They are too young to be responsible enough to determine right from wrong when it comes to Views! Popularity is King with kids because unpopularity is worse then death to them! Their friends saw this video! Of course they are going to play it off like it was nothing after they saw them cry in front of the world!
This vid hits hard. People genuinely need to stop exploiting children for views. If anything Social Media should be a place for documentation, like memories and stuff. That way it becomes a shared experience that we can all learn from.
I've got 7 kids. I know what *normal* 'yelling at your kids', being angry, outbursts and typical large family problems look like. *THIS* is NOT normal behavior on ANY level for a large family. GANGING UP on one kid for the sheer amusement of the YT audience and the parents' video monetization is despicable. NO one's jealous of this family. If anything, we're pitying those kids, and Cody in particular. I wanted to cry seeing him abused like that. I would suggest to CPS to send these parents to some kind of counceling session(s) in order to resolve their extreme narcissism which is centered on recording their lives. Here's a thought: take a lesson from the Shaytards who are an adorable loving family, *ALSO* w/ 5 kids (last time I checked anyway) They have fun, laugh, goof and record all of it.
teshua h 7 kids? Are you Molly Weasley?
teshua h lmao right molly weasley so she must be such a great mom " not my daughter you bitch "
teshua h didnt the shaytard guy cheat on his wife???
Not that I'm aware of. He practically vid'd their lives so I"m not sure how he would've pulled that off.
Seriously? Is that supposed to be funny.?
You can't ask a kid whether they're being abused. A kid doesn't know what abuse is. They will grow up and realise.
They didn't even know what being traumatized was. How are they supposed to even know abuse then?!
That seems like a no-brainer.
Merciful Radio Yeah, I child doesn't realize they are being abused, they just think it's normal and on top of that there is no way a child is gonna say their being abused while being interrogated by the parents and the father is shoving a camera to their face. So much wrong with this situation.
Merciful Radio 100% correct. I didn't wake up until I moved away from my father and I'm 24 years old and just now trying to take the proper steps of healing. You don't pick your 13 year daughter up by the throat, carry her in another room like that and proceed to choke her, this is only one incident, that was a very long night for me. He would always force a hug on me after all kinds of physical or mental/emotional abuse and tell me that he loved me and he was "sorry" just to do it all over again the next day and I thought something was wrong with ME. He still blames me to this day because he was just "punishing" me. I can't even talk about him without becoming insanely angry, hurt, numb, suicidal or depressed. Seeing them do this to their kids made me extremely emotional. It's very hard for me to watch. They do not deserve to have children. My father always tried to make up for shit with buying things too, because then, what did I have to be emotional and upset about right? But once I was 18 he was done being a parent and later I became a parasite because he had replacement kids with his new girlfriend who is 18 years younger than him and 9 years older than me (they are not biologically his). So to watch them throw brand new shit at them after they emotionally wreck them sends me back to my childhood. I couldn't handle the "at least you don't beat us" comment.
Shandra Ellis I'm so sorry for what happened to you and I hope you find the help you need.
I was physically assaulted by a significant other. I was an adult. I didn't realize I was a victim of abuse until after I had already gotten out of the relationship. It's so weird to think that I was being physically hit and didn't make the connection to "this is abuse". But that's how it is. Victims don't always realize they are victims.
The video of the young boy crying breaks my heart. Instilling fear and anxiety in your child like that is abuse. They are emotionally abusing their kids. The kid Cody is obviously very frustrated and sad. Kids shouldnt be treated like this.
"At least you're not beating us like most parents..."
what...
This is not a normal statement...
Only children who get physically abused would believe that "most parents" physically abuse their children.
Or kids that are verbally or emotionally abused and are in some way taught that they're not being abused as long as they're not being beat up. I think that's quite a normal thing amongst emotionally abused kids (speaking as one myself). You are told/tell yourself that you are "lucky" because at least your parent(s) doesn't hit you, so you shouldn't complain.
+Malin Borgen Ikr I hate this 😬
"You're so lucky, some people do worse"
Bullshit!
"...like most parents..." I grew up getting beaten regularly myself, at least every other day. I would get pounded down to the ground, then kicked while on the ground. Then I would be told "That's for the next time you do something wrong" - But you know what? Even when I was 8, I knew it wasn't _normal_ . If these kids think that kind of crap is normal, God only knows what *isn't* on video...
Wise Sage Bum i got hit when i was a kid but only because i was acting bad. It's not abuse. But this, this dude is definetely emotionally abusing his kids
Anybody else having this suddenly come into their recommends in 2021? Like, wtf? they suppressed this when it came out, but now it's in recommends?
