Would be funny if there weren't "family" YouTube channels doing this stuff... I think some have even been sued for child abuse.

Both of these "parents" were arrested and convicted for child abuse.

DaddyOFive was horrible, and straight up abuse. I was there when it was exposed by some big youtuber and then the story took off on reddit. It was very disturbing, and even more so to know that hundreds of thousands of people subscribed to the channel and thought it was funny entertainment... Thankfully the parents were arrested, and the children got help, but my faith in humanity got permanently damaged during those days.

From skimming the description on Wikipedia I'm glad I've never seen anything from that other channel.

You made me look for it, and apparently three of the 5 kids stayed with the parents, and now they have yet another channel where they defend the parents' actions, and the channel is owned by the mother. Yeah.... Sus as fucking hell, those kids have been permanently scarred and I sincerely hope they either don't have kids or stop vlogging when they do. Who I am kidding, the fuckedupness will repeat.

I hate the fact that this somewhere, is probably a true story (probably in YouTube).
