You may be right. I don't know enough about their biological mother to say if that's the correct decision or not. I think CPS should definitely be looking into it. I hope they are.

Searched the last couple pages and didn't see it mentioned. But it seems the only video they have up now is the apology. Everything else is locked. Maybe they're finally done with it?
I can't say if they had an abusive household before they started on YouTube but the channel had its own negative impact. As long as that bit of evil is removed from the world then the internet did pretty good today.

I know some people here are hoping that they reform and become better parents, shit like this makes it abundantly clear to me that's simply not possible.
Edit: Misunderstood the situation.

I've watched some more vids last night from a Youtuber called Joy Sparkle BS.
She has gone through a similar situation as a kid and is able to nail the feelings and behaviour of Cody as a reaction to his parents.
She analyzes some footage the Nerd City video doesn't cover.
Some observations:
Throughout the video's you can tell there's a sense of Cody being the 'special kid' of the family. At his young age, Cody is already into self harming and has 'smeared poop on the wall'.
They've messed this poor kid up so much that he's suffering from this problematic behaviour and is being blamed for it.
Stepmom seems like the manipulative 'evil mastermind' who sincerely takes pleasure in the agony of "the gingers". It looks like she's actively feeding Daddyofive with negativity regarding Cody and his sister. Daddyofive seems to be receptive for this shit and is easily influenced by her.
There's a point where she outright says that it would be fun to have "1 o' dem gingers roll over the stairs" and how their "squealing" would be hilarious.... How fucked up do you have to be?
In the video about Cody being left out from the familytrip to Disneyland, Daddyofive expresses his feelings about the situation to Mommy. It doesn't feel right at all to him to leave Cody out. Daddy's feelings be damned. Mommy literally says "don't start your crap" to Daddy, insists Cody can't come and only has himself to blame.

I don't buy this at all. I think the Dad is to blame just as much as the mom and in that scene his "feelings" came off just as disingenuous as both of these apology videos have.
Yeah there's no need to start thinking which one is worse, they are both very aware what happens in the house and they both participate in it. And they both deserve a punch in the face, not just a slap.
The parents don't have an ounce of good in them and reinforces my belief that some people shouldn't be parents. I hope they get in trouble.ScientificPizza

The fact that people are trying to pin this all on the mom and paint the dad as some reluctant abuser is INSANE
MRA needs to do their thing. Clearly the dad is the victim here, victim of another manipulative sinister seductress.
If you want to see a delusional apology video, this one takes the fucking cake. They deflect blame and indirectly still blame the kids.

What? Are they fuckin' delusional? In what universe treating a child like that would make them happy?
I guess with the money that the abuse brings in from Youtube. So they can buy them stuff, since that's how you show love and care to your kids. You bribe them with shit.

I'm watching a video commentary showing a compilation about it and damn, I just started crying, you can notice how much of a hell the lives of all those kids are, special Cody, and it seems he has an scar on his wrist, I don't evne want to think where that did that come from. And when the little boy talks on the bathtub is just too much.
those people don't deserve to have any kind of life on their care, and if they were able to do that in front of the camera and thousand of people watching, I can't imagine the torture those kids must be having right now since I wouldn't be surprised if the parents are blaming them.
Fuck Those two.

Yep, I think the Mom is actually the bigger monster here. She takes pleasure in harming those kids that aren't actually hers and that have issues. The Dad goes along with it, which makes him just as shitty of course, but the mom is egging it on.
How the hell can you come in a such conclusion when the dad is even physically harming the kids when apparently the mom isn't even there to instigate it. There's absolutely no need to go there. He is a grown man, he isn't like the kids who are made to bully their siblings.
I can't believe what direction this thread is going to, you people are fucking insane.
I thought this couldn't get more messed up
Insane?
Ok you're right, there is no need to go there. The Dad is shit. The Mom is on tape in several videos emotionally torturing the children as well. I wasn't absolving the Father of anything. I was pointing out, through her own words quoted above the page how she seems to specifically want to target her two step kids. I might be mistaken, but insane? Come on. The Mother is shit too.
Curious though, what people have gone insane here?
How is the dad "going along" when he's usually the one instigating it? Furthermore, what makes you feel like harming kids that aren't yours for fun is much worse than harming your very own kids for fun. The latter is even more unbelievable. Regardless, both are shit. This whole evil manipulative step--mother narrative is as fucking old as fairytales and it's dumb. The woman isn't the evil seductress that convinced an innocent man to harm is children. they're just both evil people who found one another.
Honestly, what happened is I was watching that video with the Mother saying those things so I was just particularly pissed off at her at the moment. I was mistaken. You're both right, there is no point in picking out which is the worst parent. They are both shit.

That whale of a women is a seductress?
The mom is allegedly an accountant. I don't know what the Dad does. I think they were living outside their means because of the videos. My guess is now that that resource is gone they are going to have to make life changes. I feel bad for Cody because judging by everything in the videos, the are going to resent that kid even more now.
That's true. I think watching the Mother has just reminded me of how awful my own step-mother is. She is completely manipulative, has managed to isolate my dad from my entire family. I haven't seen him in years. She even coaxed him into hitting me in the face one time when I was younger, something completely against his nature.
My emotions got the best of me for a moment. This situation is emotionally charged.
Sorry to hear that. Makes it pretty understandable.
Thanks. My childhood was pretty decent until she came along and by then I was a mid teen anyway so not much damage done. In the end I just really feel bad for those kids. I can't believe they are still with the parents it's insane to me.
Makes sense in a way. Those subscribed aren't going to unsubscribe, they knew what the channel was. And new people are subscribing just so they can follow the story along. Kind of like how people follow people on twitter they actually hate. I don't though.

Best case scenario is the kids are taken away from them and put in better homes, they are not allowed to adopt anymore, and both are required to get birth control surgeries.
The last one isn't going to happen, but hopefully the other two do.
Yeah that's where I'm at. I mean if you abuse your children, you are a child abuser. That's not something that just goes away, because it's not something that just kind of happened. It's who you are, you're a monster. You take pleasure in harming others, your own kids, defenseless. You can get anger counseling and what have you, but your kids, especially the youngest, will forever be at risk which is unacceptable. It seems like they may have specials needs at that.
if this ends in any way other then the two youngest away from the parents (ideally with their birth mom assuming she is suitable) I think that it's a great injustice and tragic for those kids.
Mom and dad are indeed both shit. There is no reason, no justification to start pushing narrative that the dad is somehow controlled by the mother and isn't acting out of his own disregard to the kids well being. But suddenly I start to see posts that do just this. That is what I found insane. This isn't Palpatine and Darth Vader situation.
People weren't straight up defending the dude and shifting all the blame to the mother. But it was starting to get dangerously close to that.
Edit: And seems like you already explained your reaction. So no need to do it again. And really sorry to hear what you shared about yourself. I can understand why you would project that to this. Sorry for the insane comment, it was too harsh considering your personal past.
I agree with you, and I realize it. Admittedly, you calling me insane put me on the defensive a bit with my reply, but I nonetheless agree it was a stupid conclusion to come to and I did it out of emotion. I'm back to square one of just thinking they are both horrible child abusers especially after rewatching the original videos just now. Thanks for explaining what you meant. After reading this last page, I agree, I think with the new info coming out about the Mom and what she said kind of just leaned more of the hate her way for the time, but it's not right, just emotionally charged.
Cool. Thanks.

There is no best case scenario on this one, the harm to all of those kids was already done, who knows how they will end up as grown ups, that's if they don't decide to commit suicide, will they continue the cycle when they have their own family? which I'm sure was the case with the parents.
And what's the point of finding who the biggest monster here is?
Both Mom and Dad are equally scumbags you can see how at one point on the video where Dad was discussing if they should really left Cody out of the Disney trip feeling the tiniest bit of empathy and Mom was pretty much stating "fuck that kid" . Is it to push on any side? I'm not even surprise about the internet anymore but its still pity.

In case you missed my edit, I apologize for that "insane" comment. Just like you, I responded with strong emotions.
It's amazing and depressing that two strangers on a forum can seem to care more about these two kids than the parents and even their loved ones that know them and see them regularly, to get them to put a stop to it.

The mom seems to particularly dislike Cody and Emma compared to the other kids. I don't think you're crazy for noticing that.
That's true. But what I did was imply she is worse somehow, but as another posted pointed out, HE is their Dad, their actual blood, and he is abusing them. It was stupid of me to try and weigh two monsters. Let the courts decide that if need be.

There's a hierarchy of priorities with legal action in order of importance with corporations being at the top and minorities and children being at the lowest rung. Look at the Penn State fiasco.

Wow, that dude breaking out the spectral display:
Plus that clip of the daughter having her statements cut out as she sits in the all to familiar fetal position that we often see Cody in.
Based on what we've heard Cody say in similar situations, it's pretty obvious she's saying she wants to go back to her biological mom.

CPS investigations are often confidential so we may not know unless the family says something.
