Daddyofive Controversy

Amelia

Daddyofive is a YouTube channel featuring a family and their five children. The main "highlight" of the channel is when the parents "prank" their children. However, their pranks are rather unconventional- in the way that many of their prank videos involve them screaming and cursing at their children. Some of the videos also feature the parents or the other children harming other members of their family. One video on the channel shows the father pushing one of his sons into a bookcase. However, the parents say this is all being done with the consent of their children. So, is this a case of abuse or it simply just two parents poking fun at their children?

Personally, I'm under the opinion that this is abuse. The yelling and screaming and cursing featured in their invisible ink "prank" video is downright terrifying. They put their children in tears after berating them for something they didn't do, then gleefully say that's it's all just a prank. In my opinion, the way the parents treat their children is downright horrific.
