    I'm happy with Do5 outcome. It was better than I hoped for, for the kid's sake.
    Thank you Phil. As a man who grew up in an angry abusive household... i just want to say thank you. You've given those kids, all of them, hope for a better future that simply wouldn't have been possible without help.

      Taking20 IT with you. I do wonder about the other kids, but I'm glad the victims of the pranks were moved out of that environment.
      And Phil, you're pissing in the wind hoping the Martins had some epiphany from all of this. Abusers don't when the rest of us would, they blame everybody but themselves.
      My ex was abusive. Here it is 27 years later and he still blames me for everything. He thinks our kids have been brainwashed against him by me, even though they were adults before washing their hands of him. Nothing is ever their fault.

    • @trippingpug5513

      Plus, both of them seem pretty dumb. One of them is probably going to break their probation somehow and they are going to go to prison anyways. It's a solid win for all of the kids, as far as I'm concerned.

And we can be even more happy to know that they now have a chance to prove that they aren't the POSeS that they were showing themselves to be on the internet. If they are good people do the 5 years keep your nose clean, if they are the shits we all think they are they will end up in jail.

    The DO5 logic of "that DeFranco guy" being the reason the legal action was taken is essentially the bad guys in Scooby Doo saying "I would've gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddling kids."

    As the current foster parent it's hard to imagine what these kids have gone through. I've been a foster parent for the past 3 years of open up my house to Children such as these. I have helped raise some kids that have been neglected and some that been sexually abused and each one is different but the trauma is still there and they will have to face challenges rest of their life. I will say for the two younger kids to be away from everybody it's probably the best thing that could happen to them for the rest of their lives. Gives him a chance to grow up be in a household that loves them and cares for them and provides them with that overwhelming support that children need. For the parents they need to be locked up in jail stripped of their parental rights no children should have to endure such trauma as these kids have and it's sickening to see parents that get away with this.

    For DO5, I think the parents deserve harsher charges. The amount of psychological damage they have done to this kids is irreversible and it's going to affect further development with independency, trust, and the ability to get along with other children and adults in the future. They owe these kids so much more than probation.

      I never watched their channel, but based on what Phil showed throughout this story, I just have to sigh...those kids were fine--there was a camera pointing at them so they knew they were being messed with (or pranked) and they just played into it. As far as CPS saying they were traumatized...lol ask any kid, they're all traumatized.

      countreekidd That's a stupid comment to make without watching the videos. I have seen all them. And there are countless instances where the kids are begging and pleading not to filmed and to be left alone. The "prank" would usually continue for about another 15mins until the kid breaks down and starts sobbing. Which is usually followed by about 5 min of gaslighting and the child being guilted into apologising. Trust me. Cps knows a Lil bit more about child abuse than you.

    I'm very happy that Cody and his sister are no longer with them, I do however worry about the other children that remain in their care. Just looking at the content they shared with the world really makes me worry about how much is going on that we are not seeing. Psychological/emotional abuse can be very difficult to investigate because of how easily it can be hidden.

    I found Felix's apology video a very mature and genuine response. It sounds like he's really reflected on it and desires to improve. We all make mistakes, but not all of us learn from and desire to change and grow from our mistakes. As for some of the comments I've read on his video, I think people are missing the point when they argue whether or not what he said was "bad" or required an apology. The point is that _Felix_ believes it required an apology, he felt disappointed in himself and felt remorse for his actions. This caused a desire to learn and change for self-improvement. People who complain about the situation being an overreaction or saying he doesn't need to apologize are dismissing what Felix actually says in the video and therefore not really supporting him and who he desires to be/become.

    • @marshmallowalgae4995
      @marshmallowalgae4995 7 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      I agree with you, and on top of that, he didn't start with any blame or try and play the victim like I've seen many other youtubers do when apologizing in order to gain money off those videos. His was short and precise and overall honest and he's willing to take full responsibility for something he admits he should have learned not to do by this point. I can't speak for all black people, but this apology is hopefully a step forward for him and I'm looking forward to seeing the change in him that comes of it.

      yiya chowa I agree with the points you made as well! For an apology/response video, it was refreshingly honest and to the point, without any of the overly emotional blubbering we see on youtube that often come across as "poor me" (like what you mentioned about playing the victim we too often see not only on youtube but in today's society). While Felix mentioned the situation was bad for those who look up to him, I think his response video was a great example to people for expressing honest remorse and taking responsibility.

    • @GilesArt
      @GilesArt 7 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I really like what you've highlighted here. An apolagy from anyone is pointless if they're doing it because they feel they have to. Felix himself felt the slur was out of HIS character to say, so HE wanted to apolagize. And that's what makes it all the more genuine. So it's not about him whether or not he had to apolagize, it's about the fact that he wanted to, the word didn't personally sit right with him.

As someone who has worked around a lot of kids, ranging from Sunday School to a day care, it makes me want to both punch the guy and throw up at the level of neglect and emotional torture. Glad they are free from that environment.

    DO5 pleaded guilty and are on probation. I'm OK with that. Prison isn't always the answer. They saved the tax payers a trial and up to 10 year of incarceration. The remaining kids haven't been ripped from their parents home and put in a questionable foster care system. Maybe these douches learned a lesson. And if not, then put them in prison.

That is grounds for those kids to grow up, and think hitting other people, is fine as long as it's a 'joke', and that's scary.

      Dead PvP if you don't see anything wrong with what they were doing to those kids, you need to get your morals checked. I don't give a crap if those three are theirs or not. They were abusing their kids. If you think purposely spilling ink on your child's carpet, and then screaming at them, calling them names, and berating them for the sake of the prank is ok, then there is something really wrong with you. If they were ANY other parents, ALL of their kids would have been taken away by social services so fast, they wouldn't have time to blink. Also, it's THEIR*.

I sincerely hope those people have changed but the fact that they could do and say those things in the first place makes me doubt it. Especially with their “apology” video where they were just trying to shift the blame on to you of all people. It just makes me really, really doubt that their brains or even hearts are big enough to understand how wrong they are. Ugh. They make me sick.

My Mother used to do that shit to me...she would buy something, show me the item and if I got in trouble (Which was literally all of the time, 90% of the time it was my little Sister) She would give it away or take it back to the store. It's incredibly hard for a child to see something they really really want, they work their ass off for it and then have the ordeal drag out (this crap feels like FOREVER to a kid) and ultimately be denied. This was a FAMILY VACATION. Not a toy that he could "earn" or would have had the chance to get at Christmas. No wonder he felt like he wasn't really accepted by his own family. They didn't care enough about him to include him in what was to be a family bonding event.

      @Nandoswitharando 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I beg to differ honestly, didn’t seem much of an apology and more of an excuse. How exactly does a racial slur “just slip out” unless that’s part of your normal vocabulary? Do normal people slip up and say ch*nk, or co*n? Do they slip up and call people f*ggot? I think him saying it “just slipped out” reduces the fact that he obviously felt very comfortable blurting that out.

  • @meganholian4837
    @meganholian4837 7 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    Phil, when you said that the DaddyOFive was given 5 years probation I sighed one of the biggest sighs of my life. I can't believe that this is finally over and that they are being held accountable for their actions. I know the court system is really messed up sometimes, but this one they finally helped save two children who really needed help. I grew up with a similar case, where one of my parents, who was completely abusive, was never held accountable for their actions; that almost killed me. I honestly hope that the parents mess up (not by abusing the other kids, but by posting something or breaking some other term of their probation) and end up in jail. They do not deserve to be around anyone decent, but until then, this is amazing. Knowing that these kids will be able to be put in a safe home and will be able to be told, without a doubt, that what their "parents" did was wrong will make their recovery much more doable. Thank you Phil for being the voice for these two kids. You honestly probably saved their lives and helped me realize that even though there are some seriously shitty people in this world, that there is just as much love.

      The way I saw it, it would have only been a matter of time until one of their pranks would seriously injure one of the kids. IF I had been the judge I would have given them AT LEAST one year behind bars, and then five years strict probation. Then if they fucked up they do the remainder of the ten year sentence.
      They need to know its not cool to abuse kids like this (or any other way).

      Deckerlink I like it because probation rules are extremely strict so they'll probably be too scared to ever be not-nice to a kid ever again. if there were a full trial ultimately the kids would have to testify in court and stuff like that which can be extremely scary. True it's not direct punishment, but it's very strong prevention and a very scary/strict second chance.

    • @TheDreRock

As a victim of very serious long term (25+yrs) trauma and abuse of every kind first i was simply horrified TH-cam allows ABUSE to be posted in the name of fun. Second, the other three children are also very much victims and should also be removed from their custody permenately. I can't help butto say God bless you Mr Defranco for literally saving Cody and Emma!!! Where were you when I was getting abused?? I am sorry this is so long but I have to just say one last thing : clearly do5 has not taken full responsibility of his actions by blaming the hero and rescuer and also because he actually had the audacity to repost the videos!!!! Seriously??? Please someone throw them in prison!!!!! You are awesome and I will be subscribing!!

      I mean, as a gamer, whether you intend to or not, in the heat of the moment you tend to say some things you don't mean. It's hypocritical to damn Pewds for saying it when most of the people who are damning have probably done too, and probably on a more frequent basis. Should Pewds have said it? Probably not, people still give that word more power than it has, but most shooter communities are toxic to that level and it's easy to fall into it.

Sometimes it's too easy to forget that and let go of yourself, which is very bad in his case. For example, cussing to friends who understands you is one thing, but cussing in a public place isn't good at all.

      +kosaba11 I totally agree. Yesterday on 9/11 in school we were talking about what happened on that day in 2001. I raised my hand and nearly said the stupidest, dumbest thing I could say. When I'm talking to someone, and the topic switches to things that had happened to us or relatives, I almost always begin it with "Well, the really funny thing is." I was about to talk about how my mom's work office was destroyed when the twin towers fell, and that she was home when it happened.
      So, I was almost going to say, "Hey, the really funny thing is my mom nearly died in 9/11."
      If I said that I would probably get a lot of looks, a talk with the teacher after class, and a phone call home.

Videogames are beyond frustrating sometimes, and it can be difficult to not let something you don't mean slip. It's not an excuse for what PewDiePie did, but I can't crucify him for something I struggle with so much, just because he happens to have a large audience.

    So proud of you concerning the DO5 situation & conversation. You are quite the hero in this story! I do wish they would've received more punishment or showed any public remorse for their horrid actions... But I think this will do for now. We are all greatly thankful to 'That Defranco Guy' for all he did to really get this story out there so that these precious babies got the attention & care they dreadfully needed. Without him the story could have just gone away & the kids involved may have been stuck in their situation far longer or forever; with the way the system in place works (DHR/CPS operates differently according to state/location- the state I am from happens to be a place that I know doesn't work from personal experiences I've had reporting serious child abuse/neglect I've actually witnessed) so because of 'That Defranco Guy', a truly hopeless situation for several innocent children has been incredibly affected- for the better! Thanks, Phil!
    You have my complete and utter respect moving forward. Mad props & much love, friend!❤️

      As i see it, it's less about the gender in that case, as it is that the "father" attempts or at least seems to dehumanize his daughter with that statement. As if because of the familial relation, the brother has some right to cause damage to her, or as if it makes her less of a girl/individual.
      I honestly believe these two "parents" are sociopaths, and need years upon years of mandatory psychological therapy before they are ever let near any children again, let alone their own.

    As a black person myself, I'm not totally pressed Pewdiepie said the N word. It's EXTREMELY disappointing especially as he's a person with a large following, but whatever, he apologized, be it sincerely or a way to make sure he can still be monetizable. I'm not going to waste my time pressed because some swedish dude said the n word. White people say it all the time behind closed doors, or aggressively in front of other black people's faces as a way to intimidate and put down. As a black American, (for me at least) I've been desensitized.
    What IS bothersome to me, is the amount of his non-black fans saying they forgive him, and telling other black people, who might not be so ready to forgive him, that they should. It's so outrageous to me. If someone ran over your foot on purpose with a car because they were angry in front of a crowd of others, and then later they apologized, it'd be ridiculous for the crowd of people to say they forgave him and then tell you, the person injured to get over their injury. it's YOUR injury, and it affected you, not them. They can be upset that the person hurt someone else, but it's still not them who was completely hurt.Thats how I see this situation. It wasn't non-black people he was offending, it those who are directly affected by the word and history ie black folks. To try and say that black people shouldn't be offended or should be obligated to forgive him just because he made an apology) is complete bogus. It says more about his fanbase than it does of pewdiepie.

He's been criticized unfairly in the past for parodying or making fun of white supremacy, but this time he just completely fucked up. What he said was completely inappropriate. Yet, he took the mature route and props to him for that. Props to you too Phil for covering this story and his past scandals with an unbiased and fair light.

      Fightingspirit92 Unfortunately it needs to be shown. You are right, it is disgusting, but as time goes on and the footage disappears that's when the story will end up getting twisted around. It is better to have an in your face reminder of what happened than to be allowed to forget and sweep it under the rug.

    • @StygianLightning
      @StygianLightning 7 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      Yeah, you've got a point, and Phil has to give context as well because someone who's not aware of what happened might watch the video. I don't know how many times I've seen it at this point though. The poor kids, I hope the remaining ones find a safe place as well.

    Those "parents" deserved worse if you ask me. The fact that he blames "that DeFranco guy" shows he's emotionally abusive.

    • @treebark8156

      Or just abusive in general. Physical, mental, emotional. Same with the stepmom.
      They're faces say a lot about them too. It's like they're both constantly angry.

    Thank you for all you did to facilitate the safety and health of those kids!! I was honestly afraid nothing would be done. I'm so relieved that the youngest two are back with their mom❤. And you know what, none of this would have happened without YOU! These kids wouldn't be safe "if that DeFranco guy hadn't stuck his noise in it"! ❤ you man, keep doin what you're doin!

      AverageWillPower I'm never going to feel comfortable with breaking up a family over an entertainment TH-cam channel. Nobody can pretend that sitting where we are sitting, we could know all of facts. So it gets passed off to protective services and there is no guarantee that they were simply not just trying to appease the masses by doing the easier thing and giving the two kids to the birth mother. And why didn't she have them to begin with?
      Plea deals are not in a prosecutors best interest, or somehow a gift to a defendant. It is also an acknowledgement of the difficulty in getting a conviction.
      I'm old enough to have lived in a world without the internet, or even modern personal computers. I'm not even remotely comfortable with the internet masses wielding such power. For me this is just another realization that the internet might be a net loss for humanity in the long run.

    My biggest concern is that with Cody and Emma gone, the abuse might be shift toward the remaining younger children. Hopefully that probation will stay these excuses-for-parents' hands though.

      They also may be required to attend counseling and have regular evaluations by psychologists. There will definitely be a crack down, but what kind of crack down depends.

    What else is Felix going to say? I think his apology is clear and concise. For me, it's enough. I've seen people just want to tear him down because of this incident. They want him to lose it all and go broke, and that's just not going to happen.

    Thank you for using your position to get those kids help and bring some light to something people may not have known was going on otherwise. I was abused all throughout my childhood and I am a parent as well and stuff like that just really hits home. cant stand the thought of kids going through something like that but glad that its all over and they can have a decent childhood. The only thing a child should ever receive from their parents is love.

    As a new dad, I feel that it's not enough. From all of that yelling and screaming and blaming other people for what they were doing and what they were encouraging, to not only themselves, but to other parents, potential and otherwise, to children who would watch their videos not knowing any better.
    I hope they get better, I hope those children, if what was happening wasn't just acting and they aren't scarred for the rest of their lives, will get better and will be able live as normal a life as they can.

    "We would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for that Defranco Guy" is what i keep hearing from that clip... like a Scooby Doo baddie. Their words really didn't help their image any, it seemed like they had no regret for their actions, only for the fact that someone saw and reported on the abuse.

    My mum pulled a prank on me today. She called me in her 'Ur in trouble' voice and me thinking I forgot to wash the dishes again and that she would make me wash them again..... she said I luv u ..... that is a good prank Do5. I ended up saying "don't do that woman" and she laughed.😂😂😂 That is how it's done Do5, That's how it's done.
