I want everyone to watch this video.
Philip DeFranco is talking about a YouTube channel called DaddyOFive, ran by a man blogging about his family’s everyday life and regularly uploading “prank” videos.
This man and his wife prank each other and their children, who are also made to prank each other for more material they put into monetized videos.

As you will see in this video, the way they treat their children (especially Cody, who I assume to be 7-9 years old) is outright horrid and abusive, though.
Cody seems to be the only one of the children who gets visibly upset over his parents’ “pranks” fairly frequently, begging them to leave him alone and quit messing with him and yelling at them to stop.

In the first clip that’s shown in DeFranco’s video, the parents pour invisible ink all over the floor and blame Cody for it, filming his reaction.
He is shown yelling and crying, nearly panicking and insisting that he has nothing to do with it, but they don’t stop.
Instead, they keep yelling and cursing at him at the top of their lungs, only to tell him and his brother that it’s “just a prank” once they stopped crying.

Another clip shows the mother filming Cody and yelling at him for not being able to “take a joke”, manipulating him and putting all the blame on him instead of apologizing.
They constantly follow him around with their camera, not giving him any personal space and filming as many of his reactions as possible to humiliate him in front of thousands of viewers.

But it gets worse than that.
A different clip shows the father pushing Cody face first into a bookshelf. He is then shown crying on his bed, with a bleeding nose, next to a blood-stained pillow.
His father then claimed that it was “red ink” and that he simply had a scrape underneath his nose.

On top of that, the man who runs this channel uploaded a video titled “BLOCKING ALL THE HATERS”, ranting about the people complaining about their videos and pointing out how horribly they treat their kids in front of his children, even making sure they listen to every word he says.

In DeFranco’s video, it becomes obvious that they constantly manipulate, emotionally abuse and physically abuse their children, egging them on and keeping them under control by making them say things like: “At least you don’t hit us like most parents!”

I encourage everyone to watch this video to get a better idea of the situation. If you can, that is.

Social services have been called on this family before, but no consequences have followed

Not just social services, but contact the advertisers on their channel and let them know that they’re supporting child abuse. Include video names, time stamps and any other information that’ll be needed for the advertisers to drop them. Email advertisers directly to any marketing or customer support emails and make your dissatisfaction with them clear. If Youtube won’t remove them then their advertisers will starve them of their money.

Don’t just get their kid removed, get rid of their incentive as well. I heard them mention Disney as a sponsor at one point… I don’t think Disney would be as supportive if they saw a kid bleeding from a facial injury caused by that piece of shit throwing his kid around.

Holy hell, this is fucked up. How does anyone justify this?

OK I’m going to reblog this for later, I’m not sure how bad the videos is but looking at the comments it’s bad. I don’t like witch hunting without a just cause but this might be one with the kid getting hurt like that.
