Awesome news!

"Now Rose Hall, the biological mother of 9-year-old Cody and his sister Emma, says that she has obtained emergency custody of her children.

"They're doing good," Ms Hall says on the video where she appears with her lawyer. "They're getting back to their playful selves."

Good news, but serious damage has been done. I hope those kids get the help they need.

 

[Count Dookkake]

I wonder if he'll have to change the name of the channel.

 

[SpaceWolf]

Don't suppose YouTube could just...you know....shut the original channel down after this?

 

[aGuyInaBearSuit]

One of the kids was smearing feces on the wall, a sign of serious trauma/PTSD.

I hope they can be helped. Fuck these assholes who tormented their own children for clicks.

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

Good news, but serious damage has been done. I hope those kids get the help they need.

Agreed. I mean, none of this is, "good," but it's at least a positive move.

 

[WhiskeyKnight]

Losing custody is not enough.

Both those parents belong in prison.

 

[Kurdel]

Good.

I wonder if he'll have to change the name of the channel.

lol

 

[kulapik]

DaddyOThree now and hopefully NotADaddy soon

as is the custom, the court will go back in time to make someone else the biological father of the children

 

[llehuty]

Yeah, what's the punishment for the parents? Still, hope both kids manage to recover from this.

 

[Symphonia]

DaddyOThree.

[Tom Nook]

Good.

Saw clips of his videos of the things he has done to his kids, WTF?

 

[SexyFish]

DaddyBehindBars

PrisonDaddy?

 

[Silent Hill]

Good. Hope the kids are doing ok

 

[Razmos]

PrisonDaddy?

That's going into a different territory entirely

 

[cartographer]

Please let the kids fade into the obscurity they deserve. I'm happy that the notoriety seemed to help them get out, but now that they are I hope peopke let them live as normal lives they can.

 

[GhostBed]

Thank goodness. Hope those kids can adjust and live normal lives.

 

[brokenbeans]

Now close the channel.

 

[Erevador]

Sounds like that Youtube guy Philip DeFranco did a good job of exposing all this and drawing attention to the plight of the children.

Due credit to him for that.

 

[Alexander DeLarge]

Did you guys see the video of one of his sons fighting on the bus? Teacher/bus driver was saying they were going to call the police and he just kept hitting the kid. Unfortunately the damage has already been done it seems.

 

[BitStyle]

YouTube should close the channel too

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Wow, I'm honestly surprised this happened so quickly. Hopefully those two can get the help they need quickly. My heart breaks for them.

 

[PandaShake]

Great news. I hope Cody and Emma was able to learn about abuses from CPS personnel so they can report if there's any trouble in the new household.

 

[Jotaka]

 

[EatinOlives]

Losing custody is not enough.

Both those parents belong in prison.

The asshole father apparently forged documents in which the mother "signed" away custody.

Dude is going to jail so fast

 

[Cyanity]

Didn't the non-biological mother do that? I guess it's all hearsay at this point, but that's what I heard.

 

[Zen Aku]

Good first step, fuck that guy. He should be charged with child abused too.

 

[LeonSPBR]

Good. Now to arrest him for what he was doing to his kids.

 

[see5harp]

I'm not going to celebrate because this is like the most fucked up version of the Brady bunch ever made. What kinda pieced together fucked up redneck version is this?

 

[kai3345]

Honestly didn't expect action to be taken so quickly. Good for the kids, hopefully she provides the loving environment they need. Now to get the other kids out of there.

 

[Nowise10]

Good. Hope the kids are doing ok

Two kids got split up from the family they grew up and lived with. Of course they arent doing "ok ". Probably are going through an incredibly difficult time and transition.

That is what is sad about the entire situation, is that no good outcome really happens.

 

[HStallion]

I wonder if he'll have to change the name of the channel.

DaddyInJail does have a much nicer ring to it.

 

[Amory]

It's super weird to me that all of this stuff was on the internet for so long, on YouTube of all things, being viewed by so many people, and apparently just the videos themselves were sufficient evidence to remove kids from the house for abuse.

Like, how did this go on so long?

 

[NHarmonic.]

Ban this kind of youtubers please (or all of them maybe).

 

[SOLDIER]

Are there any videos that show off good examples of the alleged abuse? I'd rather not watch any direct videos from this trash channel. I would just like a good editorial that highlights the worst bits followed by professional commentary.

Yeah I think when I heard of their channel had like 600000 subscribers. I am sure a lot of those were burner/fake accounts, but that is still a staggering number.

I heard audio from the most damning clips and it was sickening. I'm surprised he's able to keep any of his kids, let alone three of them.

 

[Morat]

Could someone provide a short version of the events? I heard this guy was basically a cu t by I don't know the details.

Phillip Defranco did at least 3 or 4 videos on them

 

[Messofanego]

Are there prisoners who do Youtube shows?

 

[Ray Down]

Now he is DaddyONone.

Hope he and his wife enjoy jail time, fuck them.

Glad the kids were able to get to there real mother and get the help and nurture they deserve.

 

[DrunkShogun]

Best thing would to never hear anything about those kids again and let them have a normal life away from the media. Still have to give props to the youtubers and viewers getting the message across to reach this result.

 

[starchild excalibur]

Good. I'm glad they've been exposed for the shitty parent and step-parent they were.

That's going into a different territory entirely

Yeah I think a way to put it is to hope that "better" happens. But it's all concerning; why didn't the mother have custody in the first place? That usually requires a fairly dysfunctional environment.

 

[Jazzem]

Heard about this on the Completely Unnecessary Podcast, christ those poor kids

 

[keltickennedy]

Just a bunch of haters, huh?


Hoping the kids can live a life with a lot less stress now.

 

[Astral Dog]

They did an Apology video

I'll just make sure I requote this from time to time in this thread. This is a really crappy situation, y'all. We don't know anything about the biological mother's situation, so who knows if those kids are going to a "better" situation. Plus, those two kids are used to being around their three other siblings - they don't have that, now. Can you imagine being taken away from your brothers and sisters, no matter how odd of your home situation?
