Yea. This is really what it comes down to. Stop using your kids for YT ads when it's unhealthy as fuck of an environment for them to be in.
I'm going to assume a lot of the people who defend shit like this probably had awful circumstances in their childhood as well and feel this stuff is normal. Fits well into that cycle of abuse.
Or they are just internet dickhead edgelords who think its all funny.
Check out my sweater vest!
I saw a post on twitter in support of them, and it seemed like a young girl and it was basically " I mean yeah they get hurt sometimes, but they get a lot of stuff so it's cool"
I realized that a lot of these children that watch this show probably don't think it's all that bad or maybe even good because they personally get abused but don't get shit

i've been begging for over 5 years.
Yep same here. Beyond the fact that it's likey monetized I have ZERO desire to make myself even more pissed off by watching their crocodile tears. Hopefully they are big enough narcissists to vlog their court appearances and hopefully jail sentencing. Nah, there won't be any justice here which is the only thing I want.

Nothing in life has ever ignited my base parenting instincts like these people. The way they treat those kids, especially the youngest two, is beyond rephrehensible. Every part of me wants social services to save those kids from these absolute low life assholes.

The comment section of the latest apology video is a continuous stream of support messages. Amazing.

I watched a few things about this on Youtube and I have to say that all of this is incredibly unsettling.
First, how did they amass almost a million subscribers? How did this go unnoticed for so long? There must be some sort of bystander effect going on here.
I was also absolutely shocked at just how oblivious and childish this couple has acted while "apologizing." It's obvious they don't think they've done anything wrong since they went off on some rant about it being the fault of someone else.
There is something off with this couple and I would be more empathetic of their problems if their kids weren't in harm's way. I hope CPS steps in and helps resolve all of this. These kids, especially Cody, should not be treated like this.

Guessing so. Wouldn't be surprised if the whole therapy thing they talk about is also advised by lawyers for an upcoming custody battle and such.

I hope they become better parents because of this and put their damn kids into therapy that I am sure they are going to need.

Not sure if its true, but according to this reddit comment they're going through and deleting negative comments.
Some folks in the comments are claiming the same:
They haven't changed a bit. Fuck them.
What I find concerning is that despite it being a few days since all this blew up we still haven't heard anything about investigations or the kids being taken away or anything. I don't know how all this works in the US but is it safe to assume that some sort of social services and/or police might already be in action on this issue?

Gah, the defense force and how many are kids is just another shining example of why they shouldn't be left alone on the internet and Youtube (not the community, the community itself is a sewer) needs to badly clean itself up.

Google wont shut down the channel or demonetize the videos but they sure as hell will demonetize videos for having the word "LGBTQ" in the title. Come on now.
- Glasses ☑️
- Sweater vest with collared shirt combo, newly purchased for this video ☑️
- Bookshelf that would have books in it if they owned books ☑️
- Crocodile tears ☑️
I like how the still managed to blame the escalating videos on their children.

Are they demonetizing channels? I thought the videos only disappeared in the restricted mode.

There's a funny reddit comment that basically said that they dress like if you were to tell kids to dress like adults would look.
I was thinking the same thing about Kid Rock's attire at the White House this week.

Avoid season 2 at all costs.
Or you got to go to court starter kit
Whoever wrote it is not lying, I mean:
He even looks like his dad is behind the camera telling him to be nice and proper.
Also lol at those clothes being way too big for him.

Do these scumbags still have the kids? I've lost all faith in humanity is that's the case.
They have and I assume they are investigating. The fact that the Internet is weighing heavy does not mean that this case gets fast tracked. I have to admit that all the follow up videos are truly no better and are just filing it in a sense.
I've volunteered with at risk kids and also at a children's home/family center. You would not believe the things that occur and this does not diminish what happened. What I will say is the if a fraction of the attention and empathy that this situation received was applied to what sadly happens on a daily basis so many cases could be brought to light.
Go to your local DES/CPS and see if you can get a volunteer opportunity with a case worker. You will not only really lose faith you will ask how it's possible that these things occur frequently.
For the past few days I've been typing this post, thinking about it, and then deleting it lol
I mean... It's obviously just physically but still lol

He looks like Alex but from an evil alternate universe where everyone just has the most punchable version of your face.
Yes. Chances are they will keep the kids. They will go to some type of counseling probably record/vlog the process. If smart they will monetize it and the same supporters will take it all in without a second though. If they are really really smart maybe Dr. Phil will jump on the wagon.
Wait... So Daddofive is Alex's Persona...

"This has been the worst week of our lives."
Time to learn consequences have actions you worthless cunts.
If this is their primary source of income, I hope these assholes can never find work again. A google search of this asshole's name leads to accusations of child abuse

Best case scenario is that they do go through family counseling and learn how to actually be good parents to their kids. Their YouTube channel is done. I don't see them being able to create content anymore. I hope they do learn about the damage they've been doing to their children and grow the fuck up and act like real parents.

Best case is Cody and his sister go back to their biological mother away from these two monsters.
