Imagine your parents actually yelling at you and telling you what you did wrong and you're just sitting in a pool of fear and anxiety waiting to see if it was just a prank and if you should react or not. Growing up in fear and anxiety is awful.
I wasn't exactly abused but I had a lot of pranks pulled on me that eventually just made me cold and it REALLY fucks up the ability to react to situations for what they should be so I could only imagine the true trauma and responses the children have. Cody's probably either dead inside when interacting with people or extremely emotional now.
As somebody who has been though terrible fights and abuse with parents can't even watch those kids getting yelled at...it hurts. I hope those kids are okay, especially Cody. Those kids do not deserve that AT ALL. Remember: all kids deserve parents, but not all parents deserve kids.
Yup, I've got a personal belief that, if you can't treat a child that you brought into this world with love as a parent, don't procreate then. Like you said, all kids deserve parents, but not all parents deserve kids.
thats the DUMBEST phrase. alot of kids are actual JERKS and commit crimes when older so no. some kids deserve parents but some parents dont deserve kids
9:54 This part made me feel physically sick. Knowing he was innocent and he was trying so hard to make them believe that is just sad. I’m glad he was removed and hope that kid gets the love and care he deserves from where ever he is now. Those people are so cruel to do that to him especially because he has a disorder that they obvious don’t care about.
I'm diagnosed with both ODD and ADHD it's very very difficult to relate to others in a meaningful way. If I'd had that kind of abuse it would have broken my soul.
I remember as a kid and in HS, I was always terrible with due dates and even if I had the assignment done i was always afraid to turn it in for some reason, I was terribly messy, felt like I was constantly embarrassing myself and putting my foot in my mouth, etc etc and whenever people asked why I did something I literally would have to tell them IDK. It wasn't until I got into college that I found out I had OCD and ADHD, now that i've been diagnosed i've recieved a lot more empathy from parents, teachers, peers, etc. It angers me that they treated poor cody like this AFTER his diagnosis. If i was treated like that I would be ruined. Hope he finds the help that he needs, cause he can definitely learn to control it but not in an environment like that. Glad he was taken out of it. I won't ever know what ODD is like but I do remember always feeling misunderstood having ADHD, and then when i brought up concerns people would say stupid stuff like "wE aLl hAvE a LitTle adHd!" "jUsT pUt yOuR pHonE aWaY!" and all that other stuff. so I may not relate to having ODD but I do relate to not feeling understood
@@darth_fishious4071 I have ODD and it's like a compulsive need to argue and disagree with people even when you have no idea what you're talking about, or feeling compelled to not do things simply because you know you're supposed to do them. It's pretty much like OCD forcing you to be an asshole My response to getting the diagnosis was "bullshit, you made that up" lmao
@@out_of_orbit1968 yeah it's like that, but you do it in real life. I've talked my way into fistfights I had no way of getting out of a bunch of times because I NEED to bother that biker at the bar or some other dumb shit like that.
They were rewarded for doing it on camera smh They made tons of $ from those videos, & it went on for quite awhile, until DeFranco brought it to the public’s attention. Their audience LOVED it, which is the scariest part of this whole thing. They had a massive following, who couldn’t get enough of watching Cody be terrorized. Their social medias were full of grown adults practically begging the parents to put those kids through hell. So twisted!!
@@isitoveryet9525I would have been so proud if i was Phil when the dad kept repeating "this is all happening because that da frako guy!" Like he didn't know his real name. Also for the original comment when the cameras were on is probably the only time the kids got attention at all and they were prob ignored completely off camera, which of course is a form of abuse itself
They probably barely even think of them off camera. Which makes it even worse since the only thing these kids know is how their parents yell at them while they're being filmed for "entertainment"
Hi Oompaville! I have a very nice update to the family's issue with the kids and parents. The parents have lost FULL custody (no visitation) and went to jail. The kids live down the road from my own family and they are doing amazing! My 2 kids have become amazing friends with them. Cody is doing amazing as well, he's a very nice kid now that he's free from those terrible people. Update: We have moved away from the family. However I hope they are doing well. For the people doubting, it's understandable. People make up these lies all the time. They do get visitation now and the two oldest live with them.
holy shit, this is hard to watch. this is how my father was to me -- gasslighting, emotional abuse, mental abuse, making your sons the butt of every joke. My heart breaks seeing this.
I'm happy that Oompa does videos like this. It brings awareness to channels like this. I never heard about them until now and I hope the kids are doing better!
11:49 just brought me back to when I didn’t know I was being abused and I thought it was normal and my friends would ask me if I was ok and I would say “yeah” and mean it.💀 I’m glad these last three years (coincidentally when I started watching Oompaville) I started realizing my parents were definitely in the wrong lol
As a kid I used to watch daddy o five and think it was so funny, and looking back on it now that im older its crazy to see how fucked up it all actually was. I guarantee that their main audience was children that were of similar age to what Cody was
Yeah I was a teen and was hahaha get fucked but now I’m a dad of two I couldn’t imagine creating my kids that much torture I feel bad for just jumpscaring the kiddos
I guarantee it wasn't it, I mean a lot was kids but most was these weird ppl who enjoy kids & animals getting abused go back and look at the comments it's really bad
My aunt would cover Brussel sprouts in chocolate and shove a stick in them and call them cake pops for a prank. It always worked because sometimes it would actually be a cake pop.
I remember the whole dayyO5 stuff it really blew me away as it was the most high profile case of exploitation and abuse on kids that ive seen. Nowadays it definitely seems to be more common or finally called out for the scummy practice it is.
A couple things that weren’t mentioned in this, to attest to how unbelievably awful the parents were, one video was about how at school Cody had scratched his arm until he bled. Cody had resort to hurting himself and his dad response what to berate Cody and calling him stupid. In another video Emma was being ‘pranked’ and at in point she makes a comment about how she wants to kill herself (the audio was silenced after she said kill but it’s quite obvious with her distress it about herself) and the dad again berated Emma on the comment and continued filming. These people don’t deserve any children. They hold clear favoritism to the two older boys and more specifically the oldest. Time and time again Cody would be yelled at and punished for something small like hitting the oldest after he had been terrorized by him and asking the parents to make him stop and nothing was done. The oldest would basically toss Cody around and all the parents ever did to him was tell him to stop like 15 times but never yell never physically make him stop (and it absolutely caused the oldest to continue to terrorize Cody and to laugh while he does it). I’m glad Cody and Emma are out of the situation but the other kids need taken away as well
I'm glad Cody is in a safe place now. You could honestly see the hurt in that child's eyes. And when his parents where questioning him about whether or not the videos where traumatizing him he looked around for any support before answering no, like he was afraid of what would happen if he said yes. It's soo sad that it took police enrollment before something was done. Cps failed these kids when there was evidence of emotional abuse. Sadly Cps failed my family differently when they took away my kids from me and my parents of a fake report of child abuse. They never investigated or talked to the kids. They just took them away. I suspect it was my abusive ex just trying to get revenge and get his kids back. But now three of my kids are in foster care and 2 of them after a long fight with the court system are back with my parents. I'm just saying on both sides Cps needs to do a better job of investigating their cases. I've heard from both sides of how children where taken from homes of their loving family when nothing was going on. On the flip side I've heard horror stories of cases where CPS leaves kids with an obvious abuser and the poor kid dies.
I felt the fear that was going through Cody/Kody when his parents did the ink prank. It took me back to my childhood and that is not a place anyone should be. I'm glad they got out
My parents used to swear up and down I had oppositional defiant disorder. It turned out to be borderline personality from my dad beating me and other physical abuse, alongside lots of alcohol abuse around the home instead of having loving parents. I see myself in this child when I was his age, that his parents just egg him on when he is more sensitive than others. I can only hope and pray he doesn't go through what I dealt with in my early adulthood as a result of a messy childhood and the mental illness I got from it.
@@boyonline1 I’m doing wonderful! I went through very intense therapy and went to the hospital to get my medication right. I am very great about taking my meds and knowing my limits socially. I didn’t think I could make it this far! I have a fiancé and step daughter that make my world so much happier. I have friends that understand and support me and give me so much love, even tough love! It does get better, and there’s so much hope. Life can be beautiful and enjoyable for us with BPD, I promise ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You have to be BAD to lose your kids to CPS. They give you every chance they can because they know the best thing for a child is always their own parents. That poor kid must've told the workers some awful stuff
I used to cry seeing this stuff because it reminded me of how my dad used to scream at me and my own brother with special needs. It's disgusting that the patents had the inkling in their collective braincell that their "pranks" (abuse) was funny, productive. Pranks are made to amuse, but abuse. Little party poppers under the toilet seat, a little salt instead of sugar, balloons in the closet, those are fun. Not screaming
As someone who was following the story as it was unfolding I can confirm that the step mom literally said “I love you but I don’t like you”. I can still hear it in her stupid voice too. It was crazy, I’m from Virginia and the family was in NC and the story was even on the local radio.
Psychologically torturing a child then being surprised when he developes an irritable and uncooperative personality then diagnosing him with some bullshit, as if that isn't a condition of his environment. Then perpetuating that by treating him differently because of that diagnosis. Thank god Cody is out of that household. Hopefully he is doing much better now.
I saw the video where the step "mom" said... "I love you, but I don't like you" to Cody . . everything they've done to him, that hurts even more, or almost the same! I honestly would have killed myself going through that. Those poor children. Also saw they lost 2 of the kids. Hopefully they do better!!
Cool thing about psychology is when you are a kid and experience traumatic events or live in a traumatic environment your brain blocks it out usually and don’t come to notice it or understand your own trauma until you leave and/or grow up
I have autism and couldn't imagine (as I'm sure others with different disabilities couldn't) my family treating me this way as a kid. I know things have gotten just grosser since then but it's a good reminder of why family channels are the worst.
What really strikes me is that the kids (or at least Cody in the clips shown) don't see through the pranks. Like, when their parents wouyld yell at them, they take it seriously. Which means....they were probably treated like this off screen too. Like, when I would spill something or ruin the carpets as a kid, my parents would scold me, sure, but not yell like that. The way they yelled at their kids "as a prank" was just how they yelled at them normally. I did see one clip where Cody does go "you're pranking me, right?" but his resistance breaks down bc his parents keep yelling at him and he eventually takes it seriously. It's really heartbreaking.
This is hard to watch. I'm glad they are in jail and had all the kids taken away. Pure phychological child abuse, or more simply put child abuse. I hope the kids are doing better
The invisible ink video really broke my heart. That is so sad. I’m glad Cody (and Emma) got to be with parents who actually loved and cared for them in the end.
Seeing it first from SunnyV2, I honestly cried seeing the footage... I showed my husband who has kids of his own( He had his first at 17 n so on, he's way older than me haha) even he couldn't really watch this stuff...
As a person with autism, I feel soo bad for Cody. I often have trouble understanding humor and pranks, and I can understand his confusion and frustration. It's even worse when those emotions are downplayed or exploited just for a few laughs. On top of that, it's horrible how they call him a "problem child"; I was often called that as well, and it has lead to some serious self-esteem issue later in life. I hope all of those kids have better lives now, where they feel safe and loved.
Being neurodivergent and raised along side my already teen siblings, i get harshly teased and toyed around (not as much as this tho). I developed trauma that makes me nervous and easily angered around them. But at least i can trust them to some degree and they did raise me decently. I can't imagine having parents that you can't even trust because they will yell at you for your flaws, even to the point of lying just to entertain themselves and strangers who loves your suffering.
aww i remember seeing the drama back when it was still active but i dropped it because i dont really like the news or real life media that involves disturbing subjects. I'm so glad they lost custody of their kids, and I hope the kids are living better lives than the ones before. Watching the footage of the pranks made me felt like I was in the kid's place and felt like crying lol
@11:55 I just want to point out that when Cody responds he squints a little, furrows his brows and looks away, this is a tall tale sign that someone is lying, the words in question is "Were you traumatized" "No" "Are you okay?" "Yeah" And the reason this is important is Oompy boy pointed it out as Stockholm syndrome, but it is actually arguably just as bad, Cody is so absolutely scared to be yelled at that he is lying, kind of like a situation with an abusive boyfriend who doesn't like you to leave the house or you will get beat. This isnt Stockholm This child feels trapped, and I am so so happy he got the help he deserves
As someone who survived severe childhood trauma, both with my biological and foster family, i definetly think it is a trauma reaction spreading feces everywhere.. i did it as a child and so did my sister, who also went through the trauma..
My brother had ODD. He is on the Autism spectrum and it's common with autism. He was a difficult kid but he's great now. It's not just bad behaviour, it's a lack of emotional control. It's hard for them too.
I feel bad for Cody. I have ADHD and possibly Autism and to see another kid who has a mental disability and abusive parents just breaks my heart. I feel for the kid. My mom is an abusive mom who constantly tells me that I'm not normal and compares me to other kids and verbally bashes me. I hope the kids are doing ok especially Cody.
I literally follow him on tiktok he has such a niche audience im surprised he has a platform at all it’s also rough, i can relate a lot to Cody’s situation often being yelled at and asked questions you can’t even answer because you’re not even competent enough to understand the situation what Cody went through is gonna affect him for the rest of his life. Also a reason for Cody’s heightened reactions comes from him being on the spectrum as well.
That invisible ink video hurt to watch…ive been in a household where screaming and yelling was commonplace. Say “words can’t hurt” all you want, but as a kid it’s terrifying and traumatizing if it’s commonplace. The fact that these two not only gaslit and screamed at this poor kid and made him think he did something he didn’t but had the gall to laugh about it like it was nothing sickens me to my stomach… At least we got papa Oompy to help with the blows and I thank you for that.
Kids can't cry like that on command as acting, those are legit. I remember when I was a kid my sister used to try and get me in trouble for things I didn't do and it messed me up big time, God only knows how messed up these kids are and they may not even realize it
Some people are disgusting. You should never prank a child, they feel emotions in a bigger way than we do and you can actually traumatize a child for life for your own entertainment. Crazy. The one with the mental health problem needs special care, yet he's the biggest victim.
what is scary to me is that Cody looks and acts too much like my little brother, and the thought of him being subjected to something like this would devestate me.
That part of "I love you but I don't like you." I've been told that by my mother before. I feel the shit out of that and tbh, even though I was the oldest, I felt like Cody. I feel so much for the little man. I'm happy that he may be in a family that can inspire him and show him that he wasn't a terrible kid. Just terrible parents
I hate to say this but at 9:55, that hit WAY to close to home and I felt so bad for that kid that I started to cry cause that’s kinda how my child hood was, I hope Cody is happy and safe right now
This is the saddest thing I have seen abusing a child with special needs as someone who has autism and other issues I will never understand why you would put any child through that type of abuse
The thing is I find this a coincidence, I was taken into foster care a little over a year now, and this was posted on my birthday, my aunt and uncle say pretty much the same thing (they are the ones temp fostering me while my parents get their stuff together) it goes something like, “I love you but that doesn’t mean I like you” and different varieties of that same dialogue, things are so great here guys I absolutely love it 😃 just a few more months and hopefully I’ll be home. 🎉
I remember being a really young kid and watching daddyofive everyday, For some reason I remember admiring the channel as well. The father was so good at justifying his actions that really messed with my impressionable brain and made me believe that what he was doing was actually ok and normal, I was way to young to see why it was so wrong, and since he had made me believe it was ok I found humor in watching his kids have total meltdowns. It’s so fucked up and now that I’m older I’m very disgusted at this man, I’m pretty sure that because of him I developed subconsciously rooted problems, for example finding it funny watching people in misery. Thankfully I’m not like that anymore and realized how messed up it was, but the real thing that terrifies me was what if I never realize how horrible he was? I would’ve gone lived life and had kids of my own with the belief that verbally abusing your kids is normal and ok to do, and I would’ve treated my kids like that. I can only imagine all the impressionable kids that were manipulated by those videos, I really hope they all realized it was wrong, no kid should ever go through what those kids had gone through.
As someone with ODD, yeah. He probably feels like his family HATES him, he feels like he's being nonstop bullied. He probably feels like he's just used, and the ODD causes him to react like that, the tantrums and stuff which is perfectly normal in an ODD kid, but te pranks and him feeling absolutely nothing but the feeling that his family doesn't love him causes them to be worse
So.. the "REAL" reason cody couldnt go to disney was embarrassing and cody didnt want anyone to know. Bc he was embarrassed. So its a much better idea to tell everyone he "put poop everywhere", with no other explanation. Good thing he was able to think on his feet.. phew.. that was a close one.
Also notice when Coda and the other kid are saying that they were not traumatized, Cody talk quietly and non-sternly as if he knows he can’t say the truth, then the puts his head in his crossed arms while looking into the abyss, the parents honestly where abusive and deserved to lose the kids.
@@hello_hi5196 I’m not sure if this is sarcasm or not but They aren’t in jail Sadly. They lost the younger two kids and their actual mother got them back. The did an Alford ( I think that was how it was spelled) plea saying they weren’t guilty but there was enough evidence against them to be convicted. So they got a deal.
The shaytards were the most iconic family vlog channel. So wholesome. They were the first channel where i actually watched their channel every day. Before that, i just watched TH-cam for like tutorials when i needed help. The shaytards were when youtube actually became a replacement for tv for me
As someone DCF certified I have chills at the neglect, abuse and other health issues and lack of safety in their own home.... is ABHORRENT. Parents should be locked up In my experience
As someone who suffered from this kind of abuse plus physical as a child this stuff is hard to watch but also something I feel like I want to watch because I have much love for Cody. And you know if someone asked me of my dad abused me I would've said no because I didn't know what abuse was or looked like.
The way the parents treated these kids is absolutely disgusting. People like them don't deserve the chance to have kids or be around kids. I hate this kind of people so much.
They claim how mischievous cody is but they constantly prank him, like they themselves are 10 years old and then put all of the blame on him, i hope hes got a better life and i hope his parents are miserable
Oh my goodness my heart seriously hurt when they were yelling at Cody and he just looked like a frightened, injured, caged little puppy. How could someone possible treat a little boy that way 😢
I never understood how purposely bothering others was considered funny. If everyone is in on the joke, it's funny. If one person-especially a child- is unaware, it's just immaturity . I feel so terrible for that little boy Cody. He deserves such a better life and parental treatment. I hope he was placed with a better family
Crazy that I never realized that they were from MD. But as a Marylander myself, this honestly adds up.. ESPECIALLY knowing it was on the western shore of MD. Nothing good exists there. The Eastern Shore is INFINITELY better than that trash can we unfortunately are connected to. Thankfully it’s by the Bay Bridge
If I were abused, then every time I had to poop, I would break everything in the house that I could and replace my parents' pillows with poop in a pillow case.
So upsetting. Another narcissist. Another child failed by parents. Failed by CPS. Daily gaslighting. The screaming at him, Very upsetting and triggering to watch. Another kid guaranteed to have CPTSD.
“You guys told me they died, I thought they died, kind of a let down at the end there to be honest.” Cuts to black immediately 😂 oomps timing on ending his videos is hilarious and I’ll fight anyone with a pickle who says otherwise
5:59 I just want to remind everyone when I child does things relating to pee/poo for example, wetting the bed a lot, this is a huge sign of abuse(!) also telling a child they don’t deserve something (which they would have had) is very abusive and manipulative
I was a fan of their channel i was young so forgive me for not understanding how fucked this was but I can 100% confirm the step mom said "I love you I just don't like you" I rember this vividly even as somone who didn't understand how fucked this situation was at the time even I felt like that was very harsh and nasty i can only hope Emma and Cody are doing better last I heard their mothers house might not have been very good either but I havnt heard more on that as for the other kids from the looks of it Mike was never as bad with his step kids that he was with his own kids so not too worried about the other kids
wow this uncovered repressed memories i could have hsppily lived without. im so glad they got investigated more than once and i really hope these kids are doing better now
2:38 I remember my friend once asked me to steal a bunch of ketchup packets from the school once and I did and he asked me to give them to him and I did but I asked him why he wanted so much ketchup he told me it’s because he was gonna put them under the school bathrooms toilet seats and so the next day the principle called every to the lunchroom and said that someone was putting ketchup under the toilet seats of the bathroom and that behavior wouldn’t be tolerated though my friend didn’t stop he recruited people from different ages and different genders so that no bathroom was safe other than the teachers they called themselves the crimson crusaders the only reason they got caught was because some kid bragged about it and snitched so his detention or isd was lowered and he wouldn’t be suspended 23 kids suspended and 15 put in detention
I couldn’t finish the video. That clip of them yelling at Cody about the wet carpet just broke me, having been raised in a fashion similar to that. Fucken sucks. I hope he and his siblings are in a better place now.
Glad you have my exact reaction. I remember seeing Phil and Gnomestar cover it initially and everything afterward. Chunks in my throat. Fn Phil went off and I'm so glad. That's not cancel culture, it's legal fn consequences.
When I was 17 my abusive adopted mother told me “ I don’t love you I have hope for you” and it absolutely crushed me. And I was 17! Imagine being a kid and having your mother tell you that. It messes you up so badly.
Light hearted pranks I enjoy to do that won’t send your family members into a panic attack or ruin relationships. - cut a piece of bread and mold it to the shape of a piece of gum. Stick the bread gum into a wrapper and give it to someone! - get some of those popper-type things and put them under the toilet seat. When someone sits on it, it’ll pop and startle them! - if one of your family members likes things in certain places like my dad does, just re arrange some stuff. Example: my dad keeps his brush in a certain place on the counter, so I switched the brush with a comb and put his brush in the cabinet. When they see everything moved, it’ll just kinda screw with their mind!
Imagine your parents actually yelling at you and telling you what you did wrong and you're just sitting in a pool of fear and anxiety waiting to see if it was just a prank and if you should react or not. Growing up in fear and anxiety is awful.
I wasn't exactly abused but I had a lot of pranks pulled on me that eventually just made me cold and it REALLY fucks up the ability to react to situations for what they should be so I could only imagine the true trauma and responses the children have. Cody's probably either dead inside when interacting with people or extremely emotional now.

The kids live down the road from my own family and they are doing amazing! My 2 kids have become amazing friends with them.

My mom's ex abused beat and tried to groom me and he would be a douch like this dad I hope they both rot in hell for what they did
I hope you both are better now
I'm happy that Oompa does videos like this. It brings awareness to channels like this. I never heard about them until now and I hope the kids are doing better!
They are, I recently learned the children have been given to a foster family down the road from me. The foster parents are amazing as well :)
@@unfunnykhoi5913 that's great!
11:49 just brought me back to when I didn’t know I was being abused and I thought it was normal and my friends would ask me if I was ok and I would say “yeah” and mean it.💀 I’m glad these last three years (coincidentally when I started watching Oompaville) I started realizing my parents were definitely in the wrong lol
Hindsight is 20/20
How does someone end that wit lol 💀
@@joeltonello183 A sense of humor.
@@joeltonello183you gotta laugh or you’ll cry
As a kid I used to watch daddy o five and think it was so funny, and looking back on it now that im older its crazy to see how fucked up it all actually was. I guarantee that their main audience was children that were of similar age to what Cody was
I used to watch it too
@@SlopCommentary same here
Was just about to comment this.
Yeah I was a teen and was hahaha get fucked but now I’m a dad of two I couldn’t imagine creating my kids that much torture I feel bad for just jumpscaring the kiddos
I guarantee it wasn't it, I mean a lot was kids but most was these weird ppl who enjoy kids & animals getting abused go back and look at the comments it's really bad
My aunt would cover Brussel sprouts in chocolate and shove a stick in them and call them cake pops for a prank. It always worked because sometimes it would actually be a cake pop.
See, THAT is a prank.. harmless (unless you’re severely allergic)
lmao.
Pranks, nowadays are always being brought to the far end of criminal crimes
I love Brussels sprouts
@@DamoclesSpiritofVengeancecaseoh won't like this guy
I remember the whole dayyO5 stuff it really blew me away as it was the most high profile case of exploitation and abuse on kids that ive seen. Nowadays it definitely seems to be more common or finally called out for the scummy practice it is.
A couple things that weren’t mentioned in this, to attest to how unbelievably awful the parents were, one video was about how at school Cody had scratched his arm until he bled. Cody had resort to hurting himself and his dad response what to berate Cody and calling him stupid. In another video Emma was being ‘pranked’ and at in point she makes a comment about how she wants to kill herself (the audio was silenced after she said kill but it’s quite obvious with her distress it about herself) and the dad again berated Emma on the comment and continued filming. These people don’t deserve any children. They hold clear favoritism to the two older boys and more specifically the oldest. Time and time again Cody would be yelled at and punished for something small like hitting the oldest after he had been terrorized by him and asking the parents to make him stop and nothing was done. The oldest would basically toss Cody around and all the parents ever did to him was tell him to stop like 15 times but never yell never physically make him stop (and it absolutely caused the oldest to continue to terrorize Cody and to laugh while he does it).
I’m glad Cody and Emma are out of the situation but the other kids need taken away as well
I'm glad Cody is in a safe place now. You could honestly see the hurt in that child's eyes. And when his parents where questioning him about whether or not the videos where traumatizing him he looked around for any support before answering no, like he was afraid of what would happen if he said yes. It's soo sad that it took police enrollment before something was done. Cps failed these kids when there was evidence of emotional abuse. Sadly Cps failed my family differently when they took away my kids from me and my parents of a fake report of child abuse. They never investigated or talked to the kids. They just took them away. I suspect it was my abusive ex just trying to get revenge and get his kids back. But now three of my kids are in foster care and 2 of them after a long fight with the court system are back with my parents. I'm just saying on both sides Cps needs to do a better job of investigating their cases.
I've heard from both sides of how children where taken from homes of their loving family when nothing was going on. On the flip side I've heard horror stories of cases where CPS leaves kids with an obvious abuser and the poor kid dies.
I felt the fear that was going through Cody/Kody when his parents did the ink prank. It took me back to my childhood and that is not a place anyone should be. I'm glad they got out
Bdhzjkqq we ka
Ikr absolutely horrible people they should not have had kids I feel so bad for every one of them 😢
My parents used to swear up and down I had oppositional defiant disorder. It turned out to be borderline personality from my dad beating me and other physical abuse, alongside lots of alcohol abuse around the home instead of having loving parents. I see myself in this child when I was his age, that his parents just egg him on when he is more sensitive than others. I can only hope and pray he doesn't go through what I dealt with in my early adulthood as a result of a messy childhood and the mental illness I got from it.
I pray you find peace away from the storms of your past.
i have bpd aswell and i hope ur doing well
@@boyonline1 I’m doing wonderful! I went through very intense therapy and went to the hospital to get my medication right. I am very great about taking my meds and knowing my limits socially. I didn’t think I could make it this far! I have a fiancé and step daughter that make my world so much happier. I have friends that understand and support me and give me so much love, even tough love! It does get better, and there’s so much hope. Life can be beautiful and enjoyable for us with BPD, I promise ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@kcshines1581 awe thats amazing. good to hear!
I’m sorry but nobody needed to know that
You have to be BAD to lose your kids to CPS. They give you every chance they can because they know the best thing for a child is always their own parents. That poor kid must've told the workers some awful stuff
I used to cry seeing this stuff because it reminded me of how my dad used to scream at me and my own brother with special needs.
It's disgusting that the patents had the inkling in their collective braincell that their "pranks" (abuse) was funny, productive.
Pranks are made to amuse, but abuse.
Little party poppers under the toilet seat, a little salt instead of sugar, balloons in the closet, those are fun. Not screaming
As someone who was following the story as it was unfolding I can confirm that the step mom literally said “I love you but I don’t like you”. I can still hear it in her stupid voice too. It was crazy, I’m from Virginia and the family was in NC and the story was even on the local radio.
Yep. Nerd City has the clip in their first Do5 video. I think it was called “Worst Dad on the Internet?” It’s in there.
glad to know that's not s normal thing to be said
Psychologically torturing a child then being surprised when he developes an irritable and uncooperative personality then diagnosing him with some bullshit, as if that isn't a condition of his environment. Then perpetuating that by treating him differently because of that diagnosis. Thank god Cody is out of that household. Hopefully he is doing much better now.
It isn't a prank when you are punishing them for something you know they didn't do. It becomes abuse at that point.
I saw the video where the step "mom" said... "I love you, but I don't like you" to Cody . . everything they've done to him, that hurts even more, or almost the same! I honestly would have killed myself going through that. Those poor children. Also saw they lost 2 of the kids. Hopefully they do better!!
Cool thing about psychology is when you are a kid and experience traumatic events or live in a traumatic environment your brain blocks it out usually and don’t come to notice it or understand your own trauma until you leave and/or grow up
I have autism and couldn't imagine (as I'm sure others with different disabilities couldn't) my family treating me this way as a kid. I know things have gotten just grosser since then but it's a good reminder of why family channels are the worst.
You should start a family channel with Clint and frankie
And Grandma Oompa!!!
And Father oompa
daddyofive helped me realize the home i lived in wasn't normal. seeing everyone say they were so horrible opened my mf eyes
What really strikes me is that the kids (or at least Cody in the clips shown) don't see through the pranks. Like, when their parents wouyld yell at them, they take it seriously. Which means....they were probably treated like this off screen too. Like, when I would spill something or ruin the carpets as a kid, my parents would scold me, sure, but not yell like that. The way they yelled at their kids "as a prank" was just how they yelled at them normally. I did see one clip where Cody does go "you're pranking me, right?" but his resistance breaks down bc his parents keep yelling at him and he eventually takes it seriously. It's really heartbreaking.
This is hard to watch. I'm glad they are in jail and had all the kids taken away. Pure phychological child abuse, or more simply put child abuse. I hope the kids are doing better
The invisible ink video really broke my heart. That is so sad. I’m glad Cody (and Emma) got to be with parents who actually loved and cared for them in the end.
Rose is a abusive mother as well she hit Cody or Emma and killed a dog
@@The_Lesbian_Demon99012 that’s awful!! I’ll never fully understand why people behave that way.
Seeing it first from SunnyV2, I honestly cried seeing the footage... I showed my husband who has kids of his own( He had his first at 17 n so on, he's way older than me haha) even he couldn't really watch this stuff...
Right, just terrible. I'm upset even being reminded of the parents, and even their channel.
As a person with autism, I feel soo bad for Cody. I often have trouble understanding humor and pranks, and I can understand his confusion and frustration. It's even worse when those emotions are downplayed or exploited just for a few laughs. On top of that, it's horrible how they call him a "problem child"; I was often called that as well, and it has lead to some serious self-esteem issue later in life. I hope all of those kids have better lives now, where they feel safe and loved.
when I heard this situation I felt so bad for Cody and just all the kids there. Hope they are doing better now.
Being neurodivergent and raised along side my already teen siblings, i get harshly teased and toyed around (not as much as this tho). I developed trauma that makes me nervous and easily angered around them. But at least i can trust them to some degree and they did raise me decently. I can't imagine having parents that you can't even trust because they will yell at you for your flaws, even to the point of lying just to entertain themselves and strangers who loves your suffering.
aww i remember seeing the drama back when it was still active but i dropped it because i dont really like the news or real life media that involves disturbing subjects. I'm so glad they lost custody of their kids, and I hope the kids are living better lives than the ones before. Watching the footage of the pranks made me felt like I was in the kid's place and felt like crying lol
@11:55 I just want to point out that when Cody responds he squints a little, furrows his brows and looks away, this is a tall tale sign that someone is lying, the words in question is
"Were you traumatized"
"No"
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah"
And the reason this is important is Oompy boy pointed it out as Stockholm syndrome, but it is actually arguably just as bad, Cody is so absolutely scared to be yelled at that he is lying, kind of like a situation with an abusive boyfriend who doesn't like you to leave the house or you will get beat.
This isnt Stockholm
This child feels trapped, and I am so so happy he got the help he deserves
As someone who survived severe childhood trauma, both with my biological and foster family, i definetly think it is a trauma reaction spreading feces everywhere.. i did it as a child and so did my sister, who also went through the trauma..
My brother had ODD. He is on the Autism spectrum and it's common with autism. He was a difficult kid but he's great now. It's not just bad behaviour, it's a lack of emotional control. It's hard for them too.
Mine does too
I used to get in a lot of fights with my mom when I was younger. Hearing the mom screaming during the ink prank genuinely made me lightheaded. wtf
I feel bad for Cody. I have ADHD and possibly Autism and to see another kid who has a mental disability and abusive parents just breaks my heart. I feel for the kid. My mom is an abusive mom who constantly tells me that I'm not normal and compares me to other kids and verbally bashes me. I hope the kids are doing ok especially Cody.
I can see all sorts of personality disorders in those children's future's. I hate that parents can ruin and warp children.
I literally follow him on tiktok he has such a niche audience im surprised he has a platform at all it’s also rough, i can relate a lot to Cody’s situation often being yelled at and asked questions you can’t even answer because you’re not even competent enough to understand the situation what Cody went through is gonna affect him for the rest of his life. Also a reason for Cody’s heightened reactions comes from him being on the spectrum as well.
Link?
do5 tiktok or cody has a tiktok im so confused ?
@@ElThomapretty sure ODD classes you as on the spectrum
That invisible ink video hurt to watch…ive been in a household where screaming and yelling was commonplace. Say “words can’t hurt” all you want, but as a kid it’s terrifying and traumatizing if it’s commonplace. The fact that these two not only gaslit and screamed at this poor kid and made him think he did something he didn’t but had the gall to laugh about it like it was nothing sickens me to my stomach…
At least we got papa Oompy to help with the blows and I thank you for that.
Kids can't cry like that on command as acting, those are legit. I remember when I was a kid my sister used to try and get me in trouble for things I didn't do and it messed me up big time, God only knows how messed up these kids are and they may not even realize it
Some people are disgusting. You should never prank a child, they feel emotions in a bigger way than we do and you can actually traumatize a child for life for your own entertainment. Crazy. The one with the mental health problem needs special care, yet he's the biggest victim.
Even Steve-O saw a bit of this and he didn't smile at all! He even looked horrified watching it.
what is scary to me is that Cody looks and acts too much like my little brother, and the thought of him being subjected to something like this would devestate me.
That part of "I love you but I don't like you." I've been told that by my mother before. I feel the shit out of that and tbh, even though I was the oldest, I felt like Cody. I feel so much for the little man. I'm happy that he may be in a family that can inspire him and show him that he wasn't a terrible kid. Just terrible parents
I hate to say this but at 9:55, that hit WAY to close to home and I felt so bad for that kid that I started to cry cause that’s kinda how my child hood was, I hope Cody is happy and safe right now
This is the saddest thing I have seen abusing a child with special needs as someone who has autism and other issues I will never understand why you would put any child through that type of abuse
Poor Cody, he has such a sweet little face.
“Is anybody traumatized?”
Children literally don’t know what that means.
Every kid deserves parents. Not every parent deserve to be one.
The thing is I find this a coincidence, I was taken into foster care a little over a year now, and this was posted on my birthday, my aunt and uncle say pretty much the same thing (they are the ones temp fostering me while my parents get their stuff together) it goes something like, “I love you but that doesn’t mean I like you” and different varieties of that same dialogue, things are so great here guys I absolutely love it 😃 just a few more months and hopefully I’ll be home. 🎉
This is so sick, I'm actually going to cry. I hope and pray that these kids are safe now, I just wanna hug that kid, give him the world
I feel bad for the three kids they still have custody of, especially Alex. I hope they’re doing ok.
14:16 "worst week of our lives"
*meanwhile children are traumatized daily for years and years*
10:02 made me actually start crying. The sensory overload from just WATCHING that?
every child deserves a parent but not every parent deserves a child
I remember being a really young kid and watching daddyofive everyday, For some reason I remember admiring the channel as well. The father was so good at justifying his actions that really messed with my impressionable brain and made me believe that what he was doing was actually ok and normal, I was way to young to see why it was so wrong, and since he had made me believe it was ok I found humor in watching his kids have total meltdowns. It’s so fucked up and now that I’m older I’m very disgusted at this man, I’m pretty sure that because of him I developed subconsciously rooted problems, for example finding it funny watching people in misery. Thankfully I’m not like that anymore and realized how messed up it was, but the real thing that terrifies me was what if I never realize how horrible he was? I would’ve gone lived life and had kids of my own with the belief that verbally abusing your kids is normal and ok to do, and I would’ve treated my kids like that. I can only imagine all the impressionable kids that were manipulated by those videos, I really hope they all realized it was wrong, no kid should ever go through what those kids had gone through.
As someone with ODD, yeah. He probably feels like his family HATES him, he feels like he's being nonstop bullied. He probably feels like he's just used, and the ODD causes him to react like that, the tantrums and stuff which is perfectly normal in an ODD kid, but te pranks and him feeling absolutely nothing but the feeling that his family doesn't love him causes them to be worse
Poor Cody he's basically been taught that his consent means nothing
He might as well of called the channel "How to traumatize your children"
True
So.. the "REAL" reason cody couldnt go to disney was embarrassing and cody didnt want anyone to know. Bc he was embarrassed. So its a much better idea to tell everyone he "put poop everywhere", with no other explanation. Good thing he was able to think on his feet.. phew.. that was a close one.
Also notice when Coda and the other kid are saying that they were not traumatized, Cody talk quietly and non-sternly as if he knows he can’t say the truth, then the puts his head in his crossed arms while looking into the abyss, the parents honestly where abusive and deserved to lose the kids.
As a person who has ODD I genuinely feel horrible for Cody it's so hard having ODD and those parents are horrible for how they treat him
@Callithepro11 no it wasn’t? The kids are with another family and the parents are in prison. Don’t make stuff up.
@@hello_hi5196 I’m not sure if this is sarcasm or not but They aren’t in jail Sadly. They lost the younger two kids and their actual mother got them back. The did an Alford ( I think that was how it was spelled) plea saying they weren’t guilty but there was enough evidence against them to be convicted. So they got a deal.
Watching the ink prank was really heartbreaking, you could tell Cody has been pushed to the edge a lot.
The shaytards were the most iconic family vlog channel. So wholesome. They were the first channel where i actually watched their channel every day. Before that, i just watched TH-cam for like tutorials when i needed help. The shaytards were when youtube actually became a replacement for tv for me
As someone DCF certified I have chills at the neglect, abuse and other health issues and lack of safety in their own home.... is ABHORRENT. Parents should be locked up In my experience
Imagine your parents yelling at you for something they did then laughing at you because you had a reaction to their “prank”.
I feel so bad for cody constantly being punished for things he didnt do
As someone who suffered from this kind of abuse plus physical as a child this stuff is hard to watch but also something I feel like I want to watch because I have much love for Cody. And you know if someone asked me of my dad abused me I would've said no because I didn't know what abuse was or looked like.
The way the parents treated these kids is absolutely disgusting. People like them don't deserve the chance to have kids or be around kids. I hate this kind of people so much.
They claim how mischievous cody is but they constantly prank him, like they themselves are 10 years old and then put all of the blame on him, i hope hes got a better life and i hope his parents are miserable
Oh my goodness my heart seriously hurt when they were yelling at Cody and he just looked like a frightened, injured, caged little puppy. How could someone possible treat a little boy that way 😢
10:07 WHAT THE HELL I FEEL SO BAD FOR CODY
It’s even more annoying that they fake cried during their apologies, just pisses me off watching them
"How can someone be so boring and have 100k subs"
He has no idea about Amberlynn Reid-
I never understood how purposely bothering others was considered funny.
If everyone is in on the joke, it's funny. If one person-especially a child- is unaware, it's just immaturity . I feel so terrible for that little boy Cody. He deserves such a better life and parental treatment. I hope he was placed with a better family
I really enjoy when there's one person that is just the absolute worst because it's the only time the internet agrees on something.
Crazy that I never realized that they were from MD. But as a Marylander myself, this honestly adds up.. ESPECIALLY knowing it was on the western shore of MD. Nothing good exists there. The Eastern Shore is INFINITELY better than that trash can we unfortunately are connected to. Thankfully it’s by the Bay Bridge
Screw Maryland! This comment was posted by Virginia gang 💪🐄
If I were abused, then every time I had to poop, I would break everything in the house that I could and replace my parents' pillows with poop in a pillow case.
Then just get abused more? Children view their parents as Gods, regardless of how well they’re treated.
Easier said than done. Kids will never stand up to an abusive parent.
4:26 This part with Frankie literally made me sub and like the video 🤩 UR DOG IS ADORABLEEEE. Love ur videos mate
15:15 yeah he looks so wholesome!
Poor kids.. hope they’re much better off now. Those parents are insane.
last time i was this early on an Oompa video, daddyofive wasn’t even popular yet
So upsetting. Another narcissist. Another child failed by parents. Failed by CPS. Daily gaslighting. The screaming at him, Very upsetting and triggering to watch. Another kid guaranteed to have CPTSD.
“You guys told me they died, I thought they died, kind of a let down at the end there to be honest.” Cuts to black immediately 😂 oomps timing on ending his videos is hilarious and I’ll fight anyone with a pickle who says otherwise
5:59 I just want to remind everyone when I child does things relating to pee/poo for example, wetting the bed a lot, this is a huge sign of abuse(!) also telling a child they don’t deserve something (which they would have had) is very abusive and manipulative
I was a fan of their channel i was young so forgive me for not understanding how fucked this was but I can 100% confirm the step mom said "I love you I just don't like you" I rember this vividly even as somone who didn't understand how fucked this situation was at the time even I felt like that was very harsh and nasty i can only hope Emma and Cody are doing better last I heard their mothers house might not have been very good either but I havnt heard more on that as for the other kids from the looks of it Mike was never as bad with his step kids that he was with his own kids so not too worried about the other kids
god imagine being diagnosed with something you cant control and your parents call you a bad child
You can tell those kids are absolutely traumatized. They're actually abused.
wow this uncovered repressed memories i could have hsppily lived without. im so glad they got investigated more than once and i really hope these kids are doing better now
2:38 I remember my friend once asked me to steal a bunch of ketchup packets from the school once and I did and he asked me to give them to him and I did but I asked him why he wanted so much ketchup he told me it’s because he was gonna put them under the school bathrooms toilet seats and so the next day the principle called every to the lunchroom and said that someone was putting ketchup under the toilet seats of the bathroom and that behavior wouldn’t be tolerated though my friend didn’t stop he recruited people from different ages and different genders so that no bathroom was safe other than the teachers they called themselves the crimson crusaders the only reason they got caught was because some kid bragged about it and snitched so his detention or isd was lowered and he wouldn’t be suspended 23 kids suspended and 15 put in detention
I couldn’t finish the video. That clip of them yelling at Cody about the wet carpet just broke me, having been raised in a fashion similar to that. Fucken sucks. I hope he and his siblings are in a better place now.
Glad you have my exact reaction. I remember seeing Phil and Gnomestar cover it initially and everything afterward. Chunks in my throat. Fn Phil went off and I'm so glad. That's not cancel culture, it's legal fn consequences.
When I was 17 my abusive adopted mother told me “ I don’t love you I have hope for you” and it absolutely crushed me. And I was 17! Imagine being a kid and having your mother tell you that. It messes you up so badly.
This is why there needs to be some sort of "test" to allow people the right to have children...
Impossible. Too many people. It would have all the issues that gun licenses have
@@e_knees8816 of course it's impossible but if it were there wouldnt be issues like this
Light hearted pranks I enjoy to do that won’t send your family members into a panic attack or ruin relationships.
- cut a piece of bread and mold it to the shape of a piece of gum. Stick the bread gum into a wrapper and give it to someone!
- get some of those popper-type things and put them under the toilet seat. When someone sits on it, it’ll pop and startle them!
- if one of your family members likes things in certain places like my dad does, just re arrange some stuff. Example: my dad keeps his brush in a certain place on the counter, so I switched the brush with a comb and put his brush in the cabinet. When they see everything moved, it’ll just kinda screw with their mind!
If you want more good videos on this subject I recommend watching the videos that nerdcity and Sylvibot made if you haven't already
