  • Since their inception in the late 2000's, family channels have been incredibly divisive. Over the years, as they've proved to be incredibly lucerative, many people have been drawn in to create content with their children at the core. But is this fair for the children? How did the state of the genre get to where it is today? What are these channels hiding? And what are some of the most infamous cases? In this video, we'll be exploring all that and more, so strap yourself in, and prepare for the worst...

      It’s a relatively new phenomenon, which is so say within the last 20 years it’s grown and changed enough to be considered as something that now needs laws about it. It will be interesting to see what happens.

      So we won't get new laws because they don't want to not because they don't have time.

    What's crazy is a family channel doesn't even necessarily need to show the kids. Two great mom influencers are mommycusses & Tori phantom, they have family related content but limit how they show their kids or present their kids. For example, mommycusses' oldest daughter is old enough to understand & consent (they're like 15/16?) but she acts out her littles, I'm not sure she's shared either of their voices online

    The sick "parents" from the "Daddy O Five" channel actually appealed to ABUSERS, and were getting a ton of views from other sickos who were into seeing children be traumatized, hurt, embarrassed, and crying. I believe that all 5 of those kids should have been removed from that house, not just the two most targeted for the humiliation and abuse.

    Amazing timing! Ruby from 8 Passengers was just arrested for 6 counts of child abuse after her youngest son and daughter were found to have their hands and legs duct taped, had wounds from being restrained, and were emaciated. It's a whole thing, with another woman involved and a long story, but it goes to show how "just a little" abuse seen on a family channel can be a whole ass ICEBERG of abuse in reality. Ruby insisted she was doing what is best for her kids and shut down her channel, and it seems to have only worsened her abuse. Imagine how many of these families are hiding abuse off camera, and there is nothing anyone can do without concrete proof.

      @@tornadotrick7991 The channel still exists today, I originally thought they were an alright channel compared to others like 8 passengers and the labram channel (I think that’s what their channel is called). I agree with the fact that they did use the 1st letter of their last name in their channel name, I honestly believe that they shouldn’t have used it, mainly because it gives away the kids’ full identity. The parents obviously didn’t ask the kids if they wanted an initial of their legal last name in the channel name obviously because the kids were very young and didn’t understand the whole UA-cam business, and what the kid were getting into in the future. The oldest kid is only 14 so he won’t be free of this torture until either 2027 or 2028. I have noticed something in their vlogs that’s odd, the oldest kid isn’t present in much thumbnails or video footage… I have a feeling the oldest kid got tired of having a camera in his face all the time. Another thing I’ve noticed from their vlogs is they’ve made their youngest child the spotlight in their own way, the youngest is present in mostly every video and shown in every thumbnail, there’s not one video without her (aside from the ones that were made before she was born) the parents have vlogged her from the moment she came out of the womb…..

    One of the WORST I ha e seen is The Dougherty Dozen. The parents have adopted a bunch of kids on top of having biological kids totaling 12 kids! Every child they adopted has FAS. The parents drink! Alisha (mom) has talked about needing to hide her White Claws because they were disappearing. She claims she’s stopped drinking, but anonymous family insiders say it’s a lie. She does shopping hauls for groceries and just feeds these kids junk food. These kids are forced to work constantly and are signed to LIFETIME contracts with a convicted conman that’s scammed other entertainers with predatory contracts. These kids entire lives, medical issues, private issues, schedules, layout of their home is all over her channel. There’s been dangerous incidents that have happened as a result of the channel, kids have been bullied horrendously both irl and online. She exploits the one set of siblings that are attractive teens to predators knowingly with her content. The girl sibling has become very depressed, wants out of that house, refuses to film. Those sibings mom has been very vocal about how Alisha legally isn’t allowed to film them. Their mom allowed to take the siblings on a temporary basis while she gets clean It’s a very concerning situation for all these children because Alisha is extremely vindictive, fame hungry, selfish.
    The laws really need changed! 😊

      The Hart family was pretty bad too. 6 adopted kids starved and abused to perform for the camera. once CPS started looking into things they packed up the kids and drove off a cliff killing everyone. The Turpin family as well were big bloggers, everyone thought it was such a great family and they renewed their wedding every year in las vegs, only to learn that 1 time a year was when the children were allowed out of the house and were kept in a filthy house and often restrained (they even leased the girls to wealthy men and you know what i mean). 8 passenger's mom finally got arrested for much the same. and that one where they adopted the most disabled Chinese baby they could find (they specifically asked for that) and then used the adoption processes for views and 'rehomed' him about a year or two later saying he was too much to handle (the kid was like 3 years old). I don't think I've ran into a family vlog channel that didn't have very concerning things going on

    I could not even begin to imagine how messed up I would be if was forced to have my entire life documented for strangers since childhood. Whenever my parents asked me to be in a photo (even in public where I have no expectation of privacy) and I said no, they always respected my choice. I wonder how many of these young children also express that they don't want to be on camera for youtube, only to be coerced into it by the parents that they depend on to survive, leaving them no real choice.
    I also vaguely remember a video years ago where a family channel announced that they were no longer adopting a foreign child because of their laws that would have prohibited the family from posting photos/videos of the kid online for the first year of adoption. It really shows just how many of these channels see their kids as money makers first and humans second.

    One of the few family channels which I think is great is The Tube Family. I think the reason they work is because first of all, their content is wholesome. They record themselves playing games and going on holiday and sometimes doing challenges. More importantly though, it has the kids’ consent. The channel started as a spinoff from EvanTubeHD and obviously that channel was started by Evan by choice and not by force. Therefore no one is being forced to do YT and instead they all enjoy it. The fact that they’re still occasionally doing it despite the fact that Evan and Jill are nearly adults is proof that they clearly enjoy what they do

    I started noticing a lot of this back as early as 2013 and wondered what the long-term affects would be on the kids. I wondered how they could be so comfortable doing this. Glad it is finally being addressed. I also thought a lot of the so-called pranks seemed a bit cruel and didn't like when they would record kids during meltdowns or stuff like that for views and likes. The fools never considered how this could backfire when they normalized it for these kids. They inevitably grow up and get their own cameras with social media accounts. Would they start making cruelty videos about the crazy stupid old bat parents during a prank for views and likes? Would it come full circle and haunt them as they get the same treatment?

    I'm so glad family vloggers and youtube in general wasn't around when my mother became a first time mom with me. She is a narcissist, constantly in search of the "perfect family" and she behaved much like those family vlogger moms except towards the neighbors rather than the internet. Considering how she abused me she would've made bank in a youtube environment that supported and uplifted Daddy-O-Five and their abusive punishments.

    I used to love Ryan’s toy review. It was my comfort channel as a small bebe. I loved it but unfortunately I feel that they caused this to gain popularity. Ryan was just a family messing about, being silly and enjoying themselves. But people didn’t understand what was so good about it. The simple silliness. So I fear this was one of those causes of this huge spike in this problem.

      Here’s a fun fact: apparently in a “Ryan’s toy review based Mario kart ripoff” (never something I thought I would say), there’s an unused file containing a picture of Ryan’s in game face (not his real life face, the face on the character model of Ryan) looking dead with blood and scars on his face. Whoever made the game must really hate Ryan. This is probably the most obscure information I know. I don’t actually know the name of the game but it’s in a video by a UA-cam channel called Oddheader, which is all about obscure videogame related stuff.

    One thing that tends to go under the radar about Daddyofive is how they used the channel to convince their children that they were famous UA-camrs, which implicitly would have made them more enthusiastic about uploading videos where they were depicted in compromising situations.
    In their infamous “blocking all the haters” video, their youngest kid Alex admitted that he was embarrassed by one of their older videos of him freaking out, but his parents promised him it would get a lot of views, which encouraged him to give the OK to upload. He took the fact that it got a lot of views in stride - the parents effectively got him to care more about views than whether or not a video of him crying and having a mental breakdown would bite him in the back in the future - not that he would have had any concept of it. It’s on the parents to make that determination and they failed spectacularly.
    I fear this could be a trap other family vlogging parents could fall into, whether on purpose or by accident. The path to hell is paved with good intentions, right?

In hindsight, I got a glimpse of a positive family life that I grew up craving and not getting. But I remember as soon as little baby Trey was about 3 or so, they stopped vlogging. They'll always have my respect for that.

    I remember there was a family channel called Toy Freaks during the peak of the elsagate incidents, there was a Dad and 2 daughters and they'd make little skit videos, except these videos were very weird. The Dad would make the 2 daughters dress up as babies (I'm not sure exactly how old the girls were but they definitely WERE NOT little babies, they were probably 7-10 years old at the most) and also other weird things like making them eat baby food and they'd spit them out, suck on pacifiers and make babyish noises. UA-cam (thankfully) took the channel down, as due to the content there was definitely a high chance these videos were being watched by the wrong kinds of people. The Dad put out a statement that those weird kinds of people weren't the target demographic of the channel, I'm not really sure he was trying to exploit his children so he could get money from creeps on UA-cam, but then again, even if that wasn't his goal he probably should've known better

My daughter is almost 9, know how many times I've felt the urge to make a vlog about her life and post it to get strangers's likes? None, I've never done that because I love my daughter and view her as the gift she is, not what monetization she can bring me. Also who are the weirdos religiously watching these channels? It's not my child, my friends child, or any child related to me. So why would you care about these random people and their kid? Just don't get it

I think there’s even at one point where some show host asked the kids “are you being exploited” and one of them responded “I don’t think so? I don’t even know what that word even means”. This was during the early to mid 2010s iirc.

If I had a kid who was playing FF7 classic on PS1 and filmed a couple battles, it'd be kind of a bonding experience in some respects because it's nostalgic for me. Obviously the kid should be aware and know the risks of uploading online, and the exploitation for views and money is a big no-no in general, regardless of age.
