YouTube:daddyofive child abuse?

Question

If you haven't heard of this, here's the link to Philip Defranco: https://youtu.be/jfpzCsXGxQg
And here's the link to the "ink prank" 
It's in an article I read. https://www.dailydot.com/unclick/daddyofive-invisible-ink-prank-video/?fb=dd

SO, trigger warning to people who grew up in abusive households.  ⚠️ 
Here's what happens in the video. The mom bought invisible ink and poured it all over one of the kids bedrooms and blamed him for it and literally her and her husband start screaming and cussing at this kid who is obviously distressed and freaking out because he thinks he's in trouble.  This goes on for a few minutes and then they include a second kid in, freak him out too. 
Then they're all like "hahaha" it's a prank and the kids are not amused at all. 
I don't like it at all. I think this is horrible. Idk, you watch it and be the judge. The internet is freaking out calling it child abuse.  Do you think so too? I mean, the kids are obviously in FEAR. If this what happens in "pranks" just imagine what happens behind the scenes. Beyond this video  
There's also videos of one kid in particular being shoved, thrown, punched in the arm. I feel like he's bullied in his own home. It makes me feel sick.

Answer

⚠️⚠️⚠️Trigger Warning for descriptions of abuse⚠️⚠️ ⚠️

I've kind of fallen down the rabbit hole watching various YouTube videos(not Daddy O Five videos) on this and I totally agree that it's abusive. The clips they show are deeply upsetting. In the ink "prank" video you can see Cody cower against the wall as he screams and cries in an attempt to defend himself. His face his bright red and he looks terrified. No way in hell was that acting. The way they screamed and cussed at their kids was also so awful and it seemed to be normalized in their home.

There was another video where the dad plays a "game" where he encourages the kids to slap each other. He tells his son that "it's wrong to hit girls, but she's your sister so she doesn't count" then the boy slaps her HARD and she starts to cry as the dad just laughs and eggs him on.

I grew up in a family that liked to tease and joke around and never did I experience anything that was even in this same rhelm. It was lighthearted and fun. It's really fucked up and I hope someone of authority intervenes to make sure these kids are safe. Poor babies.

Answer

ABUSIVE FOR FUCKING SURE. I've been following this since Phil Defranco started reporting it and I honestly can't even fucking believe it. It makes me so angry. Especially the one where they told Cody they were going to give him up for adoption. WTF? I don't believe it's fake either. That kid needs help.

Answer

Yelling at your kid to "BRING YOUR FUCKING ASS UPSTAIRS" isn't a joke. Who yells "fuck" at their children over and over again, much less for a prank. Those poor babies are getting traumatized and the parents are doing it for attention. They should be ashamed of themselves. Abusive parenting. No two ways about it.

Answer

Thanks for the run down. I didn't want to watch it, I didn't know how bad it got. Love Philip, he is great at breaking down important topics. As for the parents, sick in the head with that crap. A prank is putting a fake spider in the bathtub, not fucking with your child's head and emotions.

Answer

I mean 2 of the children were taken away for emotional and suspected physical abuse so if that doesn't answer your question then what will

Answer

I've been doing some research on this topic as I've just learned about it and I am so disturbed. How anyone could treat little helpless children like that is beyond me. I felt traumatized just watching the poor little ones cower and flinch in fear. And what's sick is that they broadcast it for everyone to see and calls it entertainment there's no way this crap was a prank or fake.

Answer

I saw one of the videos where the dad pushed Cody into a bookcase and a few seconds later in the video there was a bright red stain on the pillow he was laying on. The dad tried to say that it was red ink but it was right where his face was.

Answer

Read the ending incorrectly & hit no then went back and reread. I meant yes. I hope no one puts no 🤦🏽‍♀️

Answer

I don't even have to watch the video to know it's abuse. It's very mentally manipulative and dysfunctional. Typical abuse cycle of abuse and 'apology' period. I.E man hits wife or verbally assaults her with a plethora of insults, apologizes, says he didn't mean it, maybe buys gifts, 'I love you.' Then he goes right back to the abuse the next time. You can do the same thing with kids and take them for ice cream and tell them you're sorry you love them then mentally fuck them again. 🤦🏻‍♀️
