Kyle Bolt the crazy thing is that he didn't even "expose" them! They were willingly uploading the videos publicly to almost a million subscribers, all the subscribers just apparently happen to be pieces of crap that didn't care.
Kyle Bolt I thought a bunch of other people made him (Phil) aware of the channel and the controversy that was already happening. So he didn't even start it.
"It would've never got this out of hand if it wasn't for that Defranco guy" is the equivalent of "And I would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids".
Innocent until proven guilty is a facet of jurisprudence, and is not necessarily how the world can and will respond to things. Due process deals with proving a crime in a court and assigning blame and payment. I can personally decide what I believe is guilt, not constrained by these concepts. If I was called upon to be in a jury, then I am constrained by these concepts.
He's lying. I grew up with abuse. Anyone who has grown up in an abusive home can see the abuse in this family. The Cody kid is the scapegoat of the family. And good for Philip helping to keep them exposed.
I'm the scapegoat in my family and it is emotionally draining. I'm 18 now and got out of the house. I dont talk to anyone in my family and my mental health is so much better. I feel so bad for cody, watching these videos makes me cry and breaks my heart. It is something he is going to have to live with for the rest of his life and try to work through.
Shelly Lauritsen Same! I'm just learning about this and I grew up in an abusive home, too, and when you grow up around abusers you can tell when people are lying and really are abusers. I hope these "parents" no longer have a channel and that the children are safe. And blaming Philip is such bullshit and classic manipulation by abusers. The "dad" isn't a man but a thing; a piece of shit.
Right? I grew up with a physically abusive father and a alcohol mom who psychologically abused me till I was able to move out. I get a very rapid heartbeat and I can feel my blood pressure rise if anyone yells at me and I shut down. Just watching the video of these parents made me feel scared and like I was a kid all over again. Fuck these parents and I hope these parents get sent to prison so they can be abused also.
Yeah. Imagine the PTSD. Amanda the Jedi put it well. Imagine waking up every day worried someone is waiting to scare you or yell at you or hit you. All day long, every day. That would be fucking exhausting
So she says "Normal kids have bad behaviors but Cody has something else." um, yeah you're right he has parents who are making his life a nightmare. Poor kid.
honestly if you replace 'the kids' with 'Heather and I' their "apology video" starts to make sense. "The kids love the UA-cam channel." = "Heather and I love the UA-cam channel." "The kids, we plan this out its all faked." = "Heather and I, we plan this out its all faked." "The kids are terrified, they can't go outside!" = "Heather and I are terrified, we can't go outside!" These parents are absurd.
@@FuckyoupeakBitch Wow, you think that's """"putting words in their mouth"""""??? Do you speak english? If English is your second language, and you're learning, then I apologize, but if English is your native language, yikes, are you bad at comprehension. Putting words in someones mouth means you claim they said something they didn't. Now go ahead and reread (if you can read, that is) that original post, and point out where the OP claimed they said that. Go ahead, I'll not wait.
Notice he didn't actually get upset until he said he was scared of losing the youtube channel.. only cares about things that directly affect himself. His treatment of his kids is proof enough of that.
Yeah I know that. What I'm saying is that they apologized in the video and blamed Philip on it. Up until then, maybe they didn't have anyone this big reporting this situation. So they're not really sorry, they're just sorry Philip made a video about it and got caught by the rest of the community.
He’s most likely on the spectrum, I showed my mom, who works in special needs classrooms and speech pathology, clips of Cody and she was pretty sure he had a form of autism or something similar.
Maybe the slap was faked and both kids acted like hitting and getting hit, looking exactly like Hollywood movies about child abuse that use the same acting methods.
@Chris Torres are u insane? That little boy did not disrespect anybody! Slamming a child into a book shelf and body slamming him into the ground it just straight abuse. I’ve never seen someone like you who thinks that’s some sort of disrespect. I live with people like that. I was in the same situation you saying that is disrespect is appalling. He’s an innocent little kid who is getting screamed at for a petty prank that his parents did. Unacceptable. Jake did some wrong things I get that your a fan of him. But saying it’s disrespect is very very appalling. You are quite biased.
Same. Especially when he was asked about pushing Cody into a book shelf and he was like “Well what...ya see, what- he was- I - he RAN towards me is what happened- and- I-“
They're KIDS! How the fuck it doesn't cross on your fucking mind that they're scared? They can't defend themselves!! And even if they know don't you think it's a little bit terrifying speak out and don't really know what your future is going to be after that?
"I just want to be left alone so I can calm down." In that sentence, Cody is showing that he understands that he needs to calm down. He knows he is emotionally upset and the reaction he's having is not necessarily the right response. But it also shows that while Cody knows coping mechanisms and self control, his parental figures are not willing to allow him those coping mechanisms. They don't care about his greater emotional control, they only care about getting a reaction out of him. Very mentally damaging.
(Extremely looooong) If I try to say something like that my mom gets all pissed and I get in trouble for being “disrespectful”. If I get upset about my school and I leave the room to chill she gets pissy and says “why did you leave the room? You get your ass back over here” And goes on a rant and shit even though she said to leave the room if I get so frustrated that I cry 🙄 So idk wth to do honestly she is fucking irritating. Like 2 hours before I’m making this me and my mom got into a argument about cleaning the Guinea pig cage. TLDR: I cleaned the cage inside instead of outside because it’s windy and it turned up to be a lot faster. And I asked my mom why we don’t do it inside and she said because she didn’t want us to I asked why then she went off at me about how “she is the mom” and “I have to do what she says no matter what I think” bull shit. Longer version: Tbh my mom is OCD about things that aren’t that bid a deal. I have two male guinea pigs and I use wood chips for bedding and had to clean it today. I cleaned it out and chilled with my pigs while the cage bottom dried and bla bla blaaaaa. We finished and my mom said something about the cage looking good and I sad something like “It was a lot easier to do it inside, can we do it inside from now on?” Then She said in a rude tone “nO” I asked why. Then she said “because I said so I’m the mom and you do what I say!” I said I just want to know She then started rating a bout me being “disrespectful” I want to say something about it but I know she will just be a bitch about it or just go off about being the mom and Me being a “child that doesn’t understand” so I’m just going to wait till I’m 18 and get my own place and train a true guard dog or train it to get me a weapon like a spear or some shit to help protect me. I truly can’t wait to have my own place and be on my own.
"Happy times do not negate abusive or violent ones" oh my god, thank you...my mother accuses me of saying we never had any good times, or that they're meaningless to me, because I finally confronted her about her abuse towards me. She directs blame everywhere but herself. I got one seemingly heartfelt apology from her, which no longer holds any meaning because of all the unsolicited excuses and misdirects she's thrown at me, since. In the end, I don't *care* if we get along sometimes, or that we've ever had fun together. It's not worth the abuse.
Oh my god. That's exactly the same here. Well, kind of. I get yelled at for absolutely everything, including things I've never had the ability or want to do.
my mom is emotionally abusive and she does the same she says i don't care about her amongst many other things and now that i'm away from her she's mad cause she has no control
My sisters the problem in the family but the one thing that I've always lived by is "just because you're blood, doesn't mean you are family." No matter if that shit was from a CW show (lmao) but it is true.
I have had the same experience with my mom. It took years for her to understand my words, but I kept pushing. I was not going to carry around that hurt any longer. Thank you for sharing
@@YTmakesDumbUpdates What are you talking about...? When the little kids scream until their faces are red, that's scripted? When Cody gets thrown to the ground and hit on, that's scripted? When Emma gets locked in a chokehold and hit with a belt by her brothers while the dad watches, that's scripted? I suppose when Cody and Emma finally got taken away from their monster of a dad, that was scripted too, huh? Open your eyes
What worries me most is that they have fans for this shit.. People who find the pain cody is going through 'funny' or think 'Hey these guys deserve fan mail'
An lot them been abusive an say Cody don’t know abuse it like there get there angry out on this boy also a lot like no one help me. Like I’m sorry know one help u but doesn’t mean we should look other way when we see it
MonkeyBoy Oh. My. God. youre seriously blaming everything that happened to cody, on cody? his actions were what? crying when he was getting mentally and sometimes physically abused? was he supposed to laugh along with his family while they non stop bully and abuse him? what is wrong with you? now if cody had hit the parents or actually mis behaved, ok but that still doesnt mean he deserves that abuse. youre just as worse as DaddyOfive
As a domestic abuse victim, my father would do everything that these parents are doing. Making excuses that don’t make sense, and saying that you treat a child in the way you do because they are Crazy, that’s called gaslighting. And not to mention when he asked the kids if they were happy they were terrified and answered so quickly to avoid the repercussions of not responding with what their father wanted. And the way he demeaned the women in that household, and the excuses. This case shows all the classic signs of abuse and those parent are outrageously unfit for the needs of those children.
This dad is vile. I’m amazed. The gaslighting is incredible. Who falls for what he is saying? I’ve never seen such a blatantly fake display of emotion. Like gone girl
I 100% agree. Listening to the father try to defend himself about pushing Cody into a bookshelf was so hard to listen to. It was like listening to a 3yo lie to to you about stealing a cookie from the pantry.
I fall for them😅 When I hear about these type of things the logical side of me completely disappears. I wouldnt be good as a judge for a court no doubt😅😅
Phoenix Fire watch this it 1hr 30 mins of all crap they do Pretty much the print is to do something blame it on Cody and then called defense of self and then the deck is pissed off at him and then once he’s crying and pulling his eyes after getting beat up by his brother they tell me separate so why the fuck are you getting pissed off at him because you did the prank you know he didn’t do it ua-cam.com/video/tdhSRcvI6Tc/v-deo.html
Professional child actors can fake this in movies about abusive parents. They may even learn the theater technique of hitting thin air while the other actor jumps backwards like being hit and someone makes the sound effect of an impact. But the way DO5 didn't say those things suggests they didn't use such tricks and hit each other for real, even if scripted. That's not a safe working environment for child actors.
When the boy is saying he needs to be alone to calm down is one of the saddest things to me. He knows he needs to calm down and he obviously doesn’t like being angry, but they don’t leave him alone?! I hate this guy. And I hope the kids get taken away and put with happier and loving families
biological mother not the same mother who abused them and the biological mother said the cody is dealing with alot of mental issues because of the abuse and the kids arnt allowed to contact the abusers without supervision
Lion Poiint "My parents feed me, so they get to mentally torture me and deny me going to Disneyland with my other 4 siblings because I accidentally plugged the toilet." Yeah, think whatever you want.
Lion Poiint you're a disgusting piece of shit for even trying to defend those garbage cans, but then again you're probably just a little ten year old fanboy. dont worry, you'll regret this all in a few years
@@YTmakesDumbUpdates I sincerely hope you make something of yourself, just so these comments you're posting everywhere can be brought to light, and you lose everything you love.
DO5 blaming you is him saying, yet again, that he's not sorry for the abuse, he's sorry he got caught doing that. Which only proves that you did everything right and I applaud you, Phil.
*pushes kids, screams at them, has them hit each other, leaves one behind to go on a family vacation* I can't believe that Defranco guy is doing this to my family, it's all his fault
Jackie house pushed cody once, screams when they do bad things, has them hit each other in a GAME where the punishment is to get slapped, and leaves the one who causes the most trouble behind on a trip where he was warned months beforehand that if he didnt behave he would be left behind. Dont speak about their channel if youre not a frequent viewer.
I’m not a parent, barely legal to drink, only child and only a cousin acting as a brother. But that just made me feel the urge to take the girl and Cody and give them the proper care they need.
The two youngest are in foster homes. The father and the stepmother were both convicted to 5 years on probation. They are not allowed to have any contact with the two youngest.
He’ll be fine Him and his sister are back in the custody of their mother and have a restraining order against him. These two assholes had criminal charges because of it
"He ran at me"....if you watch it in slow motion, he didn't "just push him off" he is literally holding on to the collar of the kid's shirt and basically threw him forward towards the shelf.
there’s no reason for an adult man to throw a child like that, even if he was running at you. you are the adult, you are the one responsible, there is no good reason i’m so fucking mad rn lmao
@@earthwindandjade yeah, imagine wanting to use that as a excuse. "Yeah, im like 3 times bigger than this 8 year old, and he's running at me, totally just going to push him out of the way, because I was scared, and not, because I have some anger issues" Stupid horrible people🙄
In a way, the DaddyOFive youtube channel was a blessing. Without it, no one would know what was going on and Cody and Emma would most likely be abused to this day.
@@wakandaforever5201 I remember watching their content at 14 i think I was thinking why was the dad so mean to cody for no reason? I remember being disgusted byy how vile and abusive the dad is
@@fadalerabrasool3563 I remember watching their videos when I was younger, and I found something very fishy about their channel because they’re making their kids cry and uploading it to the Internet
Lil Dinosaur yeah just type ‘daddyofive’ into the yt search bar and several videos of the real mother speaking out will show up. It was discussed on Good Morning America and several other major media channels
No, its people mistaking disliking the video for the topic, over what it exposes. People dislike what in the video, so they hit a thumbs down. Its a confusion of concept
I don’t think you can act like Cody did in the ink video, if you knew it was a prank. The way he got red in the face, with anxiety, and fear, couldn’t be replicated. I know exactly what Cody was feeling in that ink video. He couldn’t have expressed that feeling so guinuelly.
Josh Rankin For real, are we expected to believe they have an (incredibly talented) professional make up artist on set? Hiding out in their shitty little bathroom, doing Hollywood movie-level makeup on their kids for a UA-cam channel with not even close to a million subscribers?
+Ansa I'm a Pedagogic Worker, I work with kids and have studied the age of 0 to 21, the social, emotional and cognitive behaviour and developments. Cody was defineately not acting. The way the girl grabbed her face after being hit and silently started crying, not fake either. The 'wrestling' on the floor was acting at first, but then turned into a painful situation and Cody clearly wants to stop. The parents are not treating the children right. To say the least.
+Buckle How many years did you study childrens cognitive behaviour, mister Bear? I'd like to get the amount of years + the specific education. Thankyou.
As a person who came from an abusive background, watching those videos make me ill. There are so many signs...too many signs of very visible and very real abuse. Hell, the biggest sign for me was when the children all said everything was okay, Cody was the only one who averted his eyes and became withdrawn. He spoke quietly, and he spoke on command....and that makes my heart ache. These parents do not deserve to have these children. More specifically, they don't deserve to even know Cody. That poor boy is in very obvious distress, and he is the butt of the "joke" and that will and probably already has DESTROYED HIS SELF ESTEEM. This makes me angry. So, so angry. And I applaud you Phil for saying something. They NEED this negative attention, and if the parents continue to deny it, then they are digging their own grave. Let them fall. Get those kids some help.
Ashley Adcock I completely know what you're saying, first video I saw of this news I noticed the awkwardness in cody's eyes when asked if they'd been abused, a sign so clear and painfull to watch. As a person who also comes from an abusive background I support this message.
They'll get what's coming to them, one way or another. There's plenty of evidence there for a court, and the internet is filled with people who have a massive hatred for this (Hence the death threats and road rage)
I saw that too, and it broke my heart. A child who is abused on a regular basis will not admit to it when surrounded by his abusers. He doesn't want to get in trouble for "making them look bad".
Narcissistic parents often step on their kids to put themselves in a higher place and thrive on making them miserable. It's not unusual to have one kid take the brunt of the abuse. Cody's siblings, being the children that they are, see this behaviour and believe that it's alright (or even encouraged) to be awful shits to him. Even if CPS were to take action now, a lot of damage has been done and a lot of work is going to have to go towards readjusting Cody. It's likely that he's going to have some deep-seated trust issues stemming from being unable to feel comfort around the people that anyone is supposed to be able to trust - his family.
The older brother is a sociopath. No remorse. He’s **laughing**. He’s not a psychopath because they’re born that way. The older brother was taught that abuse.
This makes me so sad. He’s probably desperate for validation from his parents and learned how to get that validation. Now he’s learned that abusing his siblings is a form of safety for him, and has been leaning into it for too long :( didn’t have a chance
The last thing I heard about him was him and his girlfriend (I don't know how he got one especially after all the clips of him bullying his siblings) were expecting a baby
This guy is a classic abuser who starts getting choked-up and teary-eyed when people call him out for his abusive actions. This is the recourse of EVERY ABUSER, where they "apologize" while refusing to admit that they did anything wrong. If you are smart, you will not fall for this man's crocodile tears. You will not give him the benefit of the doubt after witnessing the hell he puts his children through.
He's just sorry that people called him out for his abusing the kids. he's just sorry that he can't get money off of abusing kids and had his revenue cut off and kids taken away, who were used as his fucking entertainment
YES! My father was a psychologically manipulative, emotionally abusive person who used this very same tactic against me. He'd antagonize me to the point where I snapped and went off on him, then he'd act all hurt and sit on the couch with a forlorn look on his face, asking me why I was being so "hateful". My grandfather was also horribly cruel to my family after my grandmother died, yet when he was confronted over it, the crocodile tears started rolling. I frickin' hate that crap so bad.
Michaela Lenae All of the children are showing different ways of coping with abuse, and I feel like the girl is like the silent observer. She's hardly ever crying or laughing at anything. Like she watches all this shit and thinks "if I'm really quiet and don't speak up, they'll leave me alone." In one video, the dad asks for a hammer (to break an Xbox) and she just silently gets it for him. Even when she's fucking slapped across the face, she's clearly tring to stifle her tears, probably because she's seen what happens to Cody when he openly cries.
+Jake Sounds like she was talking about a sick and old animal that they kept around 'to be nice.' Awful. Cody and Emma have the potential to become great people. I hope they know and learn that.
That apology was completely bogus, those videos were not fake, it a canned apology based on other apologies made for fake videos. These parent have made money exploiting those children. Phil, you did a good thing exposing these people for their actions.
AND THE WORST PART IS THE FACT CODYS FIRST RESPONSE WAS TO MAKE SURE NOTHING FELL OFF THE SHELF. IT HURTS TO THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN SOMETHING DID FALL
This is fucking crazy. I'm so glad you spoke up about this. I couldn't imagine being around that kind of environment even as an adult let alone a kid who doesn't have the capacity to understand the weight of this abuse.
Hearing how the parents talk about Cody, it sounds like scapegoating or Cinderella syndrome. There are plenty of abuse dynamics where other children in the home will join in on the abuse in order to please a parent or avoid becoming a target themselves. The "unfavorite" is a thing in family dynamics, especially if they can act as a lightning rod for abusive feelings that might be acted out on other family members. It could be this "unfavorite" labeling of Cody made it acceptable to abuse him more freely (he's not Heather's kid, and Mike may not care as much; both parents seem to think there's something "wrong" with Cody that therefore justifies their treatment of him, etc.) Whereas the other children in the house lack this label from the parents, which results in Cody being targeted more often. So glad he was removed from this situation. Again, Phil, thank you for that.
I know this comment is half a year old, but what is Cinderella syndrome? When I searched for it, I got "Women scared of Independence" and "Feets changing form because of shoe heels".
Nikki Derringer are they from NC? I thought they were from MD and maybe live in WV now. If they’re still on probation in MD tho I don’t think they’d be able to move out of state unless you get special permission. IDK tho
Yup. Can confirm; went through eight years of emotional and verbal abuse and can say that I know have depression and issues with expressing emotions. Thanks stepmom.
can confirm also- but to everyone saying that abuse victims are likely to become school shooters and serial killers, that’s really not funny. as a person who’s gone through that for their entire childhood, i think it’s caused me my fair share of repercussions (like depression, anxiety, etc) but i also think it’s made me more aware of how my actions affect others. and if i become a parent, i think i’ll be more conscious about how i treat my kids, and i think it made me a stronger person and will make me a better parent. i understand completely that abuse victims can be more likely to be violent. but to judge a child so young, i think that’s unfair and just harmful to say.
Hi Im not important. "Awww cmon bruh, why can't I just beat the shit out of my kids? They love it!! I do it for them!!" Fake or not. These people are fucking sick.
the thing that disturbs me the most is that these are the things they allowed to be seen by others... can you imagine what happens to these children when the video isn't recording?? this is disgusting....
Allie Wonders Exactly this! I said this on another video and all people can say is "it's fake, they said it's fake." So ridiculous! If that child is acting, he is better than most of the actors in Hollywood. It's crazy how people can be so blind!
I’ve just learned about this “story”. I’m literally in tears. My mama heart breaks for all of these kids. When the brother slapped this sister?? I can’t. If I told one of my kids to slap their sibling..... they would look at me like I’m crazy..... I’m so heartbroken. My chest hurts.
"it's for the children! you're hurting my children!" *pushes kid into book shelf and allows kids to hit/slap/body slam another child* bro... wtf.. that's not even including all of the mental abuse
Toshiko...thats easy, he's not sorry what he's done to the kids, he's only sorry that him and his dog wife been exposed for the abusers that they are. Lets hope the same happens to them and see if they like it!!!
The only fake video of theirs is that damn "apology" video. The way he said about "something else" being wrong with Cody rubbed me up the wrong way... These people make my skin crawl.
I have never seen any of that channel (and I'm somewhat glad about that) but the most distressing part of that for me was the kid saying he wanted everyone to go away so that he could calm down. I know that might sound weird in a video that also contained the slapping and everything else, but what's so upsetting about that calming down thing is that my wife is a school counselor, and a kid who asks everyone to go away so that they can calm down is SO doing the right thing. That is just about the model response that we'd want kids of that age to have when they're feeling upset. The fact that they weren't respecting those wishes, and why would they because it wouldn't get them more views, just ripped me to shreds.
the abusers are trying to manipulate the audience just like they do to their kids. Trying to put the blame on us, and make us feel guilty so they can act innocent, and better about themselves. Not happening. This is classic for child abusers/Manipulators to psychologically attempt to control people by guilt and mood swinging. He brings up some irrelevant things in the "apology video" then snaps to saying something totally happy, it doesn't really make sense.
The first 7 years of my life I grew up in a house like this with my father. I still haven’t recovered. I never will fully. I suffer from a chronic anxiety and panic disorder and ptsd
Thank you Phil for not letting up on this. UA-cam has the potential to be such a positive community for people to share their lives and experiences and opinions, and people like these seriously taint it.
"We don't hit girls but your sister doesn't count" How about we all just don't hit each other, girl, boy, sister, brother, parent, just don't hit people
Justanothermakeupchannel DO5 SAID JUST A LITTLE TAP HES JUST SHOWING BULLSHIT FUCK YOU PHILLIP BECAUSE OF YOU YOU COULD GET THERE OWN FAMILY KILLED YOU DUMBASS I
I had very abusive parents and I can see it in the way that this man talks about "his family" when these sacks of shit are called out for what they did they start getting defensive and will always throw around how much they love their family. They'll project the problems to outside observers and blame them, as if everything was fine beforehand. They'll talk in circles for what seems like an eternity throwing in the word family at every opportunity. Always saying "my family" as if it's an inanimate object, something you possess and not a body of individuals and the implications that come thereof. These people view their household as an object for their own satisfaction and it's downright disgusting. These are lives you birthed not a beaten up old truck, don't refer to them in the same way.
Avant-Teen Team I completely agree with your comment. Everything the dad says trying to make him not look like the bad guy are the same kinds of things my dad would say too. "At least I don't abuse you THIS way" or "if it was really abuse I'd be in prison" or "if it was really that bad you'd leave" and they can just give excuse after excuse about how they just parent differently, or how the child was the one who escalated the situation. I feel so awful for these kids. Watching these clips made me physically sick. I hate how easy it is for people like this to lie and manipulate people to get them on their side. He is abusive and all of those kids deserve a good home away from these people.
You two have completely nailed the whole situation in two comments. Thank you for your candor. It's never easy to talk about this stuff, but it sure as shit needs talking about so others can recognize it. All my best to the both of you.
Not really, that dude is manipulative he could have made it look like there was nothing wrong when CPS came over and bribed the kids to act like everything was fine. The video also stated the CPS was unaware of the youtube videos. On top of that there are allegations he lied to have custody over two of the kids. Clearly this guy is a manipulative sob.
no no no. the PARENTS are disgusting. child services are a tiny tiny department who are understaffed. they said they dont know about the youtube videos until now. if no-one reports stuff to them, no-one will do anything.
I feel kinda bad cause of how insanely late I am Cody actually has ODD/Oppositional Defiant Disorder (his birth-mother did as well), but they claim the reason that he won't go to Disneyland is because "he put poop everywhere". What I'm pretty sure is the real reason, when the father promised Cody he WOULDN'T go to Disneyland, is because at school he scratched himself until he bled. He called him stupid (yes, for self-harming) and Cody was trying to explain but the father kept on yelling at him. Cody was incredibly calm, and unlike every other video, he barely defended himself which I find scary. I'm at 8 minutes in and I noticed you didn't mention that, so I just wanted to make sure ya knew. :>
I saw that video. It was so incredibly sad to see him give up on trying to explain why he self-harmed because he knows his words won't get through to that brain - if you can even call it a brain - of that dumbass shitface of that man, who is his father =_=
@@Room-xi6nb he grew up for some time with his mum so it could have been apparent early on, especially when someone who you model your behaviours off has ODD, it has a strong influence on mental development
Physical wounds heal, but fear does not. Those children are NEVER truly safe, and living in "fight or flight" mode 24/7 has irreparable effects on a DEVELOPING BRAIN. Cody _(edit: all 4 kids)_ will have to deal with severe anxiety for the rest of his life, I guarantee it. I am grateful for the progress we've made in recognizing emotional/mental abuse as it should be, on the same level of any other abuse, but it's still not good enough that people can watch their content and question if those children are being abused because they're not being *beaten* beaten (on camera). For all the others I know who have suffered even SEVERE physical abuse, the problems that stay with them are the result of the constant FEAR, the emotional betrayal, the anxiety, the terror, and the constant panic _(during which toxic, corrosive stress hormones are pumping through their brain & body)_ - and usually the verbal and mental abuse that accompanied it: the tearing down of their self esteem and self worth. It's not the bruises they got in those moments that still affect them today.
Exactly! The lasting damage from abuse is rarely physical, but often mental. Emotional abuse is intensified mental abuse as well, and should be taken just as seriously as physical abuse. People just don't want to acknowledge that because then they'd actually have to behave.
Thank you for noticing this. As a survivor of childhood abuse and narcissism, I’m 24 and I still have night terrors, anxiety, eating disorders and depression. I spent so much of my life denying what happened because I didn’t want to feel like less than. Now I devote myself to children so they don’t have to feel the way I did. It’s truly a lifelong battle and the psychological terror never goes away. I still don’t really know what it’s like to have a healthy romantic relationship.
I hope that over time, healing comes to you, that you gain a support network that helps you with your pain, and that the terror does eventually go away. I hope you have a healthy relationship, romantic or not, that heals you.
Magus Silveresti Awww why thank ya, that’s very sweet! I’m doing SO much better now that I’m an adult and I’ve realized what was “wrong with me” for so long. I’m one of those people who seem really well adjusted to the world, because I fake it extremely well. But finding spirituality and what I’m passionate about has helped the ongoing healing process. It also helps that I have some amazing people in my life that I can give my love to 😀. Love and light, keep spreading positivity and good luck on your own journey 💕🌻.
can confirm too- i guess i’m still a child, but i’ve dealt with emotional/physical abuse for my entire childhood. and it’s definitely left it’s damage on me. i now deal with things like depression, anxiety (+panic attacks), paranoia, and other things (not going into that). and even my physical health has been affected too in some aspects. i can definitely say that the emotional and verbal abuse has been worse in many aspects, bruises and wounds can heal but words leave damage that don’t repair the same way. and living in a situation where it’s not just me going through it alone has taken it’s toll on me too. i feel helpless and the guilt has carried with me for so long about not being able to do anything. i don’t want to go off on a tangent, but i just wish people would understand the affects their actions have on people. while what i’ve been through has taken me through hell and back, i think it’s made me a stronger person. and i think if i become a parent i’ll be able to make better decisions because i know how horrible it is to feel like you’re alone and helpless.
nicalycab Cody is acting in said videos, as they said in the videos he's gone from drawing money on a street corner for his real mother to wanting to be an actor. He's not "crazy" he just doesn't like crowds, the mum calls his bad behaviour crazy because that's the way the videos work. Even the guy from Kidbehindthecamera admits he's seen the kids cry on command, again it's fake the only reason it became so real was because Phil miss interpretated something that he did not understand...
I can't believe the parents are acting like the victims. They're basically saying, "You called us out on our child abuse, and therefore our problems are all your fault." They're literally exploiting their own children by verbally, mentally, and physically abusing them ONLINE. What the hell kind of mindset do you have to have in order to think this way? This is sociopathic.
Yup, it's classic narcissism at play where they need to place the blame on others to justify their own wrongdoings. They are projecting, narcs do not take responsibility for relationship difficulties and exhibit no feelings of remorse. Instead they believe themselves to be the victims in the relationship
In one video, the girl is being bullied by her brothers and the dad starts screaming in her face not to play a victim. These people are stupid abusive hypocrites.
Typical abuser mentality there. "We aren't the problem here, YOU'RE the problem! Look what you did to US! Look what you've FORCED us to do!" I can't tell you how many times my Ex tried that trick with me before I got the guts to leave. Honestly, after seeing this, I'm gonna go hug my family and my best friend. Without them stepping in and forcing me to look at it, I probably wouldn't be here.

Well Phil, if you're responsible for exposing a child abuser, then it's a damn good thing to be responsible for.
Kyle Bolt the crazy thing is that he didn't even "expose" them! They were willingly uploading the videos publicly to almost a million subscribers, all the subscribers just apparently happen to be pieces of crap that didn't care.
+Kyle Bolt I 100% agree. Phil has nothing to regret, he did the right thing. Proof is the back pedalling parents.
Kyle Bolt AMEN!!!
Kyle Bolt I thought a bunch of other people made him (Phil) aware of the channel and the controversy that was already happening. So he didn't even start it.
For real. Thank you for covering this.
The mother screaming is disgusting. She sounds like a beast
If you seen Ethan’s impression of her saying I’m cooking it’s fucking hilarious

"It would've never got this out of hand if it wasn't for that Defranco guy" is the equivalent of "And I would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids".
Scooby doo villains logic
Sooooo true...
Innocent until proven guilty is a facet of jurisprudence, and is not necessarily how the world can and will respond to things. Due process deals with proving a crime in a court and assigning blame and payment. I can personally decide what I believe is guilt, not constrained by these concepts. If I was called upon to be in a jury, then I am constrained by these concepts.
+DoG Ster Y? Did our eyes lie
We saw his side of the story slapped off Emma's face.
DoG Ster if this were a case presented in court it would be air tight... videos of abuse is far more than even circumstantial evidence
He's lying. I grew up with abuse. Anyone who has grown up in an abusive home can see the abuse in this family. The Cody kid is the scapegoat of the family.
And good for Philip helping to keep them exposed.
I'm the scapegoat in my family and it is emotionally draining. I'm 18 now and got out of the house. I dont talk to anyone in my family and my mental health is so much better. I feel so bad for cody, watching these videos makes me cry and breaks my heart. It is something he is going to have to live with for the rest of his life and try to work through.
Exactly. I saw that shit too. Once neighbors call the cops, parents tell ya to lie, tell everyone else to lie. All close ranks to protect the abusers.
Shelly Lauritsen Same! I'm just learning about this and I grew up in an abusive home, too, and when you grow up around abusers you can tell when people are lying and really are abusers.
I hope these "parents" no longer have a channel and that the children are safe.
And blaming Philip is such bullshit and classic manipulation by abusers.
The "dad" isn't a man but a thing; a piece of shit.
Right? I grew up with a physically abusive father and a alcohol mom who psychologically abused me till I was able to move out. I get a very rapid heartbeat and I can feel my blood pressure rise if anyone yells at me and I shut down. Just watching the video of these parents made me feel scared and like I was a kid all over again. Fuck these parents and I hope these parents get sent to prison so they can be abused also.
Yeah. Imagine the PTSD. Amanda the Jedi put it well. Imagine waking up every day worried someone is waiting to scare you or yell at you or hit you. All day long, every day. That would be fucking exhausting

Rui Santos TmarTn and Do5 collab incoming?
Yeah I know that. What I'm saying is that they apologized in the video and blamed Philip on it. Up until then, maybe they didn't have anyone this big reporting this situation. So they're not really sorry, they're just sorry Philip made a video about it and got caught by the rest of the community.

Maybe the slap was faked and both kids acted like hitting and getting hit, looking exactly like Hollywood movies about child abuse that use the same acting methods.
WayneFTW definitely not. Jake is a socio/psychopath.
@Chris Torres lmao your defending an abuser
@Chris Torres are u insane? That little boy did not disrespect anybody! Slamming a child into a book shelf and body slamming him into the ground it just straight abuse. I’ve never seen someone like you who thinks that’s some sort of disrespect. I live with people like that. I was in the same situation you saying that is disrespect is appalling. He’s an innocent little kid who is getting screamed at for a petty prank that his parents did. Unacceptable. Jake did some wrong things I get that your a fan of him. But saying it’s disrespect is very very appalling. You are quite biased.
Don’t blame the brothers. They were raised by these people, it’s not surprising.
the dad getting interviewed sounds like me at five years old lying to my parents about fighting with a sibling
Same. Especially when he was asked about pushing Cody into a book shelf and he was like “Well what...ya see, what- he was- I - he RAN towards me is what happened- and- I-“
why would the kids say "yes i am being abused" in front of the parents abusing them
walla walla bing bang. ;)
ooh ee ooh ah ah ting tang they could ask them alone
Even if they did; the video wouldn't be uploaded.
They're so full of shit.
They're KIDS! How the fuck it doesn't cross on your fucking mind that they're scared? They can't defend themselves!! And even if they know don't you think it's a little bit terrifying speak out and don't really know what your future is going to be after that?
And if they had said it, do you think they would have posted it?
"I just want to be left alone so I can calm down." In that sentence, Cody is showing that he understands that he needs to calm down. He knows he is emotionally upset and the reaction he's having is not necessarily the right response. But it also shows that while Cody knows coping mechanisms and self control, his parental figures are not willing to allow him those coping mechanisms. They don't care about his greater emotional control, they only care about getting a reaction out of him. Very mentally damaging.

(Extremely looooong)
If I try to say something like that my mom gets all pissed and I get in trouble for being “disrespectful”. If I get upset about my school and I leave the room to chill she gets pissy and says “why did you leave the room? You get your ass back over here” And goes on a rant and shit even though she said to leave the room if I get so frustrated that I cry 🙄
So idk wth to do honestly she is fucking irritating.
Like 2 hours before I’m making this me and my mom got into a argument about cleaning the Guinea pig cage.
TLDR: I cleaned the cage inside instead of outside because it’s windy and it turned up to be a lot faster. And I asked my mom why we don’t do it inside and she said because she didn’t want us to I asked why then she went off at me about how “she is the mom” and “I have to do what she says no matter what I think” bull shit.
Longer version:
Tbh my mom is OCD about things that aren’t that bid a deal.
I have two male guinea pigs and I use wood chips for bedding and had to clean it today.
I cleaned it out and chilled with my pigs while the cage bottom dried and bla bla blaaaaa.
We finished and my mom said something about the cage looking good and I sad something like “It was a lot easier to do it inside, can we do it inside from now on?”
Then She said in a rude tone “nO”
I asked why.
Then she said “because I said so I’m the mom and you do what I say!”
I said I just want to know
She then started rating a bout me being “disrespectful”
I want to say something about it but I know she will just be a bitch about it or just go off about being the mom and Me being a “child that doesn’t understand” so I’m just going to wait till I’m 18 and get my own place and train a true guard dog or train it to get me a weapon like a spear or some shit to help protect me.
I truly can’t wait to have my own place and be on my own.
"Happy times do not negate abusive or violent ones" oh my god, thank you...my mother accuses me of saying we never had any good times, or that they're meaningless to me, because I finally confronted her about her abuse towards me. She directs blame everywhere but herself. I got one seemingly heartfelt apology from her, which no longer holds any meaning because of all the unsolicited excuses and misdirects she's thrown at me, since.
In the end, I don't *care* if we get along sometimes, or that we've ever had fun together. It's not worth the abuse.
Oh my god. That's exactly the same here. Well, kind of. I get yelled at for absolutely everything, including things I've never had the ability or want to do.
my mom is emotionally abusive and she does the same she says i don't care about her amongst many other things and now that i'm away from her she's mad cause she has no control
My sisters the problem in the family but the one thing that I've always lived by is "just because you're blood, doesn't mean you are family." No matter if that shit was from a CW show (lmao) but it is true.
I have had the same experience with my mom. It took years for her to understand my words, but I kept pushing. I was not going to carry around that hurt any longer. Thank you for sharing

I suppose when Cody and Emma finally got taken away from their monster of a dad, that was scripted too, huh? Open your eyes

JJ Mayyer Do you really wanna defend child abusing parents?
It's not out of proportions. A lot of us are parents. :f Or have siblings.

*Whoa*
As a domestic abuse victim, my father would do everything that these parents are doing. Making excuses that don’t make sense, and saying that you treat a child in the way you do because they are Crazy, that’s called gaslighting. And not to mention when he asked the kids if they were happy they were terrified and answered so quickly to avoid the repercussions of not responding with what their father wanted. And the way he demeaned the women in that household, and the excuses. This case shows all the classic signs of abuse and those parent are outrageously unfit for the needs of those children.
Abigail Zitzelberger my dad is kinda the same but not domestic abuse, I’m sorry for you though.
You have a dad
@@ThatPortaPottyGuy that doesn’t matter, having no parent is 100% better than having an abusive one.
This dad is vile. I’m amazed. The gaslighting is incredible. Who falls for what he is saying? I’ve never seen such a blatantly fake display of emotion. Like gone girl
I 100% agree. Listening to the father try to defend himself about pushing Cody into a bookshelf was so hard to listen to. It was like listening to a 3yo lie to to you about stealing a cookie from the pantry.
Bai felisha
I fall for them😅
When I hear about these type of things the logical side of me completely disappears. I wouldnt be good as a judge for a court no doubt😅😅
No kid could be that good of an actor. The dad is probably just trying to save his own ass by blaming everyone else for his wrongdoing
Phoenix Fire watch this it 1hr 30 mins of all crap they do Pretty much the print is to do something blame it on Cody and then called defense of self and then the deck is pissed off at him and then once he’s crying and pulling his eyes after getting beat up by his brother they tell me separate so why the fuck are you getting pissed off at him because you did the prank you know he didn’t do it
ua-cam.com/video/tdhSRcvI6Tc/v-deo.html
Professional child actors can fake this in movies about abusive parents. They may even learn the theater technique of hitting thin air while the other actor jumps backwards like being hit and someone makes the sound effect of an impact. But the way DO5 didn't say those things suggests they didn't use such tricks and hit each other for real, even if scripted. That's not a safe working environment for child actors.
@@johndododoe1411 Shut The Fuck Up with that stinky mouth of yours you dont know the real situation
When the boy is saying he needs to be alone to calm down is one of the saddest things to me. He knows he needs to calm down and he obviously doesn’t like being angry, but they don’t leave him alone?! I hate this guy. And I hope the kids get taken away and put with happier and loving families
They've been reunited with their mother.
Yeah that moment had me close to tears... Poor fucking kid! He just needs a stable and loving environment!

I don’t think you can act like Cody did in the ink video, if you knew it was a prank. The way he got red in the face, with anxiety, and fear, couldn’t be replicated. I know exactly what Cody was feeling in that ink video. He couldn’t have expressed that feeling so guinuelly.
Josh Rankin For real, are we expected to believe they have an (incredibly talented) professional make up artist on set? Hiding out in their shitty little bathroom, doing Hollywood movie-level makeup on their kids for a UA-cam channel with not even close to a million subscribers?
+Ansa
I'm a Pedagogic Worker, I work with kids and have studied the age of 0 to 21, the social, emotional and cognitive behaviour and developments.
Cody was defineately not acting. The way the girl grabbed her face after being hit and silently started crying, not fake either. The 'wrestling' on the floor was acting at first, but then turned into a painful situation and Cody clearly wants to stop.
The parents are not treating the children right. To say the least.

How many years did you study childrens cognitive behaviour, mister Bear?
I'd like to get the amount of years + the specific education. Thankyou.
Widdekuu91 I agree with you
As a person who came from an abusive background, watching those videos make me ill.
There are so many signs...too many signs of very visible and very real abuse. Hell, the biggest sign for me was when the children all said everything was okay, Cody was the only one who averted his eyes and became withdrawn. He spoke quietly, and he spoke on command....and that makes my heart ache.
These parents do not deserve to have these children. More specifically, they don't deserve to even know Cody. That poor boy is in very obvious distress, and he is the butt of the "joke" and that will and probably already has DESTROYED HIS SELF ESTEEM.
This makes me angry. So, so angry. And I applaud you Phil for saying something. They NEED this negative attention, and if the parents continue to deny it, then they are digging their own grave.
Let them fall. Get those kids some help.
Ashley Adcock I completely know what you're saying, first video I saw of this news I noticed the awkwardness in cody's eyes when asked if they'd been abused, a sign so clear and painfull to watch. As a person who also comes from an abusive background I support this message.

They'll get what's coming to them, one way or another. There's plenty of evidence there for a court, and the internet is filled with people who have a massive hatred for this (Hence the death threats and road rage)
I saw that too, and it broke my heart. A child who is abused on a regular basis will not admit to it when surrounded by his abusers. He doesn't want to get in trouble for "making them look bad".
Narcissistic parents often step on their kids to put themselves in a higher place and thrive on making them miserable. It's not unusual to have one kid take the brunt of the abuse. Cody's siblings, being the children that they are, see this behaviour and believe that it's alright (or even encouraged) to be awful shits to him. Even if CPS were to take action now, a lot of damage has been done and a lot of work is going to have to go towards readjusting Cody.
It's likely that he's going to have some deep-seated trust issues stemming from being unable to feel comfort around the people that anyone is supposed to be able to trust - his family.
“For entertaining purposes”
So hitting, cursing, making children hit themselves is now called entertainment? What is wrong with humanity
Imani Tchana A lot wrong.
Now people on UA-cam get away with telling others death threats, and nothing is going right for UA-cam at all.
Its entertaiment for me :P
@@aaron_kingtana2871 no. Just..... no
@@jacobkugley5934 yes. Just....yes
Not everyone calls it entertainment. Just dumb and immature people do.
The older brother is a sociopath. No remorse. He’s **laughing**. He’s not a psychopath because they’re born that way. The older brother was taught that abuse.
This makes me so sad. He’s probably desperate for validation from his parents and learned how to get that validation. Now he’s learned that abusing his siblings is a form of safety for him, and has been leaning into it for too long :( didn’t have a chance
He’s gonna wind up in custody some day. Or in an alley after messing with the wrong person…..
The last thing I heard about him was him and his girlfriend (I don't know how he got one especially after all the clips of him bullying his siblings) were expecting a baby
This guy is a classic abuser who starts getting choked-up and teary-eyed when people call him out for his abusive actions. This is the recourse of EVERY ABUSER, where they "apologize" while refusing to admit that they did anything wrong. If you are smart, you will not fall for this man's crocodile tears. You will not give him the benefit of the doubt after witnessing the hell he puts his children through.
Abso-fricking-lutley.
Too true... the whole presence of that dad makes me shake
He is just a reincarnation of hitler
He's just sorry that people called him out for his abusing the kids. he's just sorry that he can't get money off of abusing kids and had his revenue cut off and kids taken away, who were used as his fucking entertainment
YES! My father was a psychologically manipulative, emotionally abusive person who used this very same tactic against me. He'd antagonize me to the point where I snapped and went off on him, then he'd act all hurt and sit on the couch with a forlorn look on his face, asking me why I was being so "hateful". My grandfather was also horribly cruel to my family after my grandmother died, yet when he was confronted over it, the crocodile tears started rolling. I frickin' hate that crap so bad.
Cody looks away when he asks if they abuse him
I noticed that too!
I noticed his eyes look sad, teary almost.
You could see it in the girl a bit too tbh
Michaela Lenae yeah I saw that too I believe she witnesses most of the abuse towards him
Michaela Lenae All of the children are showing different ways of coping with abuse, and I feel like the girl is like the silent observer. She's hardly ever crying or laughing at anything. Like she watches all this shit and thinks "if I'm really quiet and don't speak up, they'll leave me alone." In one video, the dad asks for a hammer (to break an Xbox) and she just silently gets it for him.
Even when she's fucking slapped across the face, she's clearly tring to stifle her tears, probably because she's seen what happens to Cody when he openly cries.
That kid saying "we are okay" was just so fake he looked so scared
Spoilers that was almost an outright indoctrination
Yea you could tell Cody didn't want to say it... I wish I could give the poor baby a hug
Yup I know that face I've worn it before
darth reaper I hope you're alright now
on a tropical island I live thx im fine now but this has happened to me years ago
“The good times does not negate the abuse” LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
You are a fud
"Cody has.... Something else" that's killed me. That's was horrible
yeah, who the fuck says something like that? Poor kid..
+Jake
Sounds like she was talking about a sick and old animal that they kept around 'to be nice.'
Awful. Cody and Emma have the potential to become great people. I hope they know and learn that.
Yeah ptsd
Yeah that would ptsd. From violent child abuse.
The older kid gets away with stuff too
Translation: "I'm sorry about getting caught"
😂😂 -false- true
That apology was completely bogus, those videos were not fake, it a canned apology based on other apologies made for fake videos. These parent have made money exploiting those children. Phil, you did a good thing exposing these people for their actions.
It reminded me of United Airlines first attempt at an apology.
he gay
Its the equivalent of Turning to your Audience and saying "its a prank brah"
he apologized to everyone but his kids...
@@TheZandra17 he didn't need to. They aren't abused or anything.

THE DAD KNOCKED HIS HEAD INTO THE FRICKING DRESSER
*Worst Dad of the century award goes to D05!*
AND THE WORST PART IS THE FACT CODYS FIRST RESPONSE WAS TO MAKE SURE NOTHING FELL OFF THE SHELF. IT HURTS TO THINK ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN SOMETHING DID FALL
Didnt even hit it he pushed his head away.. but true
Dusty Red Panda FACTS
This is fucking crazy. I'm so glad you spoke up about this. I couldn't imagine being around that kind of environment even as an adult let alone a kid who doesn't have the capacity to understand the weight of this abuse.
God, you are one sexy ass bitch. I converted to heterosexuality. #ImCured

PRAISE BE TO MIKE PENCE! PRAISES!! :P
Marry me!!
I am getting such flashbacks from my own childhood.
They shouldn't tell their fans that they are sorry, they should tell their CHILDREN they're sorry!
And get some help from professionals

"And we would've gotten away with it if it weren't for that meddling DeFranco guy!"
said in the Scooby doo voice of the "caretaker" LOL =)
can someone please Photoshop Phil into the Scooby-Doo van? lol
When he slapped the daughter my heart broke into SO many pieces.
*Lilly i really hope you are joking*
Hearing how the parents talk about Cody, it sounds like scapegoating or Cinderella syndrome. There are plenty of abuse dynamics where other children in the home will join in on the abuse in order to please a parent or avoid becoming a target themselves. The "unfavorite" is a thing in family dynamics, especially if they can act as a lightning rod for abusive feelings that might be acted out on other family members. It could be this "unfavorite" labeling of Cody made it acceptable to abuse him more freely (he's not Heather's kid, and Mike may not care as much; both parents seem to think there's something "wrong" with Cody that therefore justifies their treatment of him, etc.) Whereas the other children in the house lack this label from the parents, which results in Cody being targeted more often.
So glad he was removed from this situation. Again, Phil, thank you for that.
I know this comment is half a year old, but what is Cinderella syndrome? When I searched for it, I got "Women scared of Independence" and "Feets changing form because of shoe heels".

Welcome! We love having you here!
i don't care if they're fake or not, they're trivialising child abuse to an influential/impressionable audience.. disgusting
agreed
Samuel that is a very excellent point
Samuel PERFECTLY FUCKING SAID.
"to an influential audience" what does that even mean? What influence does your average UA-cam viewer have?
Samuel exactly, no matter if its fake or not those kids are still being pushed and yelled at and abused
The parents kind of look like siblings. Would explain a lot.

Well, incest is common in North Carolina.... It honestly wouldn't surprise me to find out they're related.
Nikki Derringer are they from NC? I thought they were from MD and maybe live in WV now. If they’re still on probation in MD tho I don’t think they’d be able to move out of state unless you get special permission. IDK tho
They probably r related

“Cody is gonna grow up to be an actor”
No, he’ll grow up to be mentally damaged
Yup. Can confirm; went through eight years of emotional and verbal abuse and can say that I know have depression and issues with expressing emotions. Thanks stepmom.
blueballsram :( I know you’ll get better. You will be happy
Navnlos serial killer*
can confirm also- but to everyone saying that abuse victims are likely to become school shooters and serial killers, that’s really not funny. as a person who’s gone through that for their entire childhood, i think it’s caused me my fair share of repercussions (like depression, anxiety, etc) but i also think it’s made me more aware of how my actions affect others. and if i become a parent, i think i’ll be more conscious about how i treat my kids, and i think it made me a stronger person and will make me a better parent.
i understand completely that abuse victims can be more likely to be violent. but to judge a child so young, i think that’s unfair and just harmful to say.
You know them kids will see this.. Maybe its better not to say. After all they've been through so much.
"DON'T HIT GIRLS! but she's your sister that don't count."
Honestly, parents and family hitting Kody and them laughing at him crying.
Just disgusting
Honesty if I had to choose between this father and Garnet, u probably know who I'd choose
And evil
If those videos are edited holy shit that’s flawless editing which is better than movies with big budgets but the thing is they aren’t
FreshFrendosYT 2 they needed to cover there tracks. However since they are not the smartest people, they made terrible excuses that made no sense.
What? No. Big movies editing is wayyy better than that
How do you think they make actors fake hit people
I will reiterate.
"it's just a prank" is not a valid excuse.
Hi Im not important. "Awww cmon bruh, why can't I just beat the shit out of my kids? They love it!! I do it for them!!" Fake or not. These people are fucking sick.
the thing that disturbs me the most is that these are the things they allowed to be seen by others... can you imagine what happens to these children when the video isn't recording?? this is disgusting....
Allie Wonders Exactly this! I said this on another video and all people can say is "it's fake, they said it's fake." So ridiculous! If that child is acting, he is better than most of the actors in Hollywood. It's crazy how people can be so blind!
Very scary to think about.
UA-cam will flag someone for "hate speech", but this crap is allowed?
I’ve just learned about this “story”. I’m literally in tears. My mama heart breaks for all of these kids. When the brother slapped this sister?? I can’t. If I told one of my kids to slap their sibling..... they would look at me like I’m crazy..... I’m so heartbroken. My chest hurts.
"it's for the children! you're hurting my children!"
*pushes kid into book shelf and allows kids to hit/slap/body slam another child*
bro... wtf..
that's not even including all of the mental abuse
JustRelax same smh
I like how the father is able to apologize to hundreds of thousands of strangers, BUT NOT TO THE ONE HE ABUSES.
Toshiko...thats easy, he's not sorry what he's done to the kids, he's only sorry that him and his dog wife been exposed for the abusers that they are. Lets hope the same happens to them and see if they like it!!!
They raised his kids as bullies and they are taking advantage of eachother specially Cody.
Isn’t the real question...who the heck is watching videos of kids getting abused as their fun pass-time? Jesus.
The only fake video of theirs is that damn "apology" video. The way he said about "something else" being wrong with Cody rubbed me up the wrong way... These people make my skin crawl.
Nun Ya I
I have never seen any of that channel (and I'm somewhat glad about that) but the most distressing part of that for me was the kid saying he wanted everyone to go away so that he could calm down. I know that might sound weird in a video that also contained the slapping and everything else, but what's so upsetting about that calming down thing is that my wife is a school counselor, and a kid who asks everyone to go away so that they can calm down is SO doing the right thing. That is just about the model response that we'd want kids of that age to have when they're feeling upset. The fact that they weren't respecting those wishes, and why would they because it wouldn't get them more views, just ripped me to shreds.
Same, it's pretty sickening
The Reel Review same here. Absolutely same here. God bless Cody. God bless all the children. I hope they get through this.
Classic text book responses from an abuser
Yeah, abuser playing out victim role.
the abusers are trying to manipulate the audience just like they do to their kids. Trying to put the blame on us, and make us feel guilty so they can act innocent, and better about themselves. Not happening. This is classic for child abusers/Manipulators to psychologically attempt to control people by guilt and mood swinging. He brings up some irrelevant things in the "apology video" then snaps to saying something totally happy, it doesn't really make sense.
Yup, classic response from an abuser!
Swear the Dad sounds like a south park character when says "overflowed"
Toushea That’s what I thought too. He reminds me of Cartman
It's clearly not fake, it's child abuse and it's scary how they think it's ok and normal, the kids have been taken away right?
@Will Powers what about the other kids?
@@maniacaal they are still with them I believe
Yeah
Scary how they had fans.
Not child abuse.

Cody is such a poor baby boy. i feel so sorry for him....this made me tear up
Lunirocks It's so sad and infuriating. Parents should want their kids to be happy, not cause them distress for the sake of views.
*cough* *cough* alex
Me too this is heartbreaking watching how terrible these children are treated
This is so sad alexa play despacito
The first 7 years of my life I grew up in a house like this with my father. I still haven’t recovered. I never will fully. I suffer from a chronic anxiety and panic disorder and ptsd
I’m very sorry to hear that I hope you get better quickly
Thank you Phil for not letting up on this. UA-cam has the potential to be such a positive community for people to share their lives and experiences and opinions, and people like these seriously taint it.
"We don't hit girls but your sister doesn't count"
How about we all just don't hit each other, girl, boy, sister, brother, parent, just don't hit people
Your logic is way too complex for these monsters.
nah... gotta slap a bitch
Ernesto Hernandez 😂😂😂
Julia Michelle if anything shouldnt your sister be the priority her brother? you should protect your sister more than any other girl
Justanothermakeupchannel DO5 SAID JUST A LITTLE TAP HES JUST SHOWING BULLSHIT FUCK YOU PHILLIP BECAUSE OF YOU YOU COULD GET THERE OWN FAMILY KILLED YOU DUMBASS I
I had very abusive parents and I can see it in the way that this man talks about "his family" when these sacks of shit are called out for what they did they start getting defensive and will always throw around how much they love their family. They'll project the problems to outside observers and blame them, as if everything was fine beforehand. They'll talk in circles for what seems like an eternity throwing in the word family at every opportunity. Always saying "my family" as if it's an inanimate object, something you possess and not a body of individuals and the implications that come thereof. These people view their household as an object for their own satisfaction and it's downright disgusting. These are lives you birthed not a beaten up old truck, don't refer to them in the same way.
Avant-Teen Team I completely agree with your comment. Everything the dad says trying to make him not look like the bad guy are the same kinds of things my dad would say too. "At least I don't abuse you THIS way" or "if it was really abuse I'd be in prison" or "if it was really that bad you'd leave" and they can just give excuse after excuse about how they just parent differently, or how the child was the one who escalated the situation. I feel so awful for these kids. Watching these clips made me physically sick. I hate how easy it is for people like this to lie and manipulate people to get them on their side. He is abusive and all of those kids deserve a good home away from these people.
You two have completely nailed the whole situation in two comments. Thank you for your candor. It's never easy to talk about this stuff, but it sure as shit needs talking about so others can recognize it. All my best to the both of you.
"you know you don't hit girls. but shes ur sister she don't count"
WTF kind of logic is that!?
"I woulda got away with it if it wasn't for that meddling DeFranco!"

You're the only thing that made me laugh during this horrible situation. Have a nice day man!
Malos Kain Raggy!
child services are a joke. it is disgusting how obvious the abuse in this family is and yet nothing had been done.
i feel the same way
Not really, that dude is manipulative he could have made it look like there was nothing wrong when CPS came over and bribed the kids to act like everything was fine. The video also stated the CPS was unaware of the youtube videos. On top of that there are allegations he lied to have custody over two of the kids. Clearly this guy is a manipulative sob.
no no no. the PARENTS are disgusting. child services are a tiny tiny department who are understaffed. they said they dont know about the youtube videos until now. if no-one reports stuff to them, no-one will do anything.
Liberal pussies.
"Weeb". Wow, what an extraneous remark.
I feel kinda bad cause of how insanely late I am
Cody actually has ODD/Oppositional Defiant Disorder (his birth-mother did as well), but they claim the reason that he won't go to Disneyland is because "he put poop everywhere". What I'm pretty sure is the real reason, when the father promised Cody he WOULDN'T go to Disneyland, is because at school he scratched himself until he bled.
He called him stupid (yes, for self-harming) and Cody was trying to explain but the father kept on yelling at him. Cody was incredibly calm, and unlike every other video, he barely defended himself which I find scary. I'm at 8 minutes in and I noticed you didn't mention that, so I just wanted to make sure ya knew. :>
I saw that video. It was so incredibly sad to see him give up on trying to explain why he self-harmed because he knows his words won't get through to that brain - if you can even call it a brain - of that dumbass shitface of that man, who is his father =_=
And why do you suppose be has ODD?
That's nurture, not nature, babe.
@@Room-xi6nb he grew up for some time with his mum so it could have been apparent early on, especially when someone who you model your behaviours off has ODD, it has a strong influence on mental development
Link to the video?
I hate how he says over. “We erver exaggerated”
Exaggerated swagger of a black teens
"You know you're not supposed to hit girls, but she's your sister so she doesn't counts!"
FREAKING INSANE
Ikr doesn't matter we are all human beings and we all feel
my dad told me that but he still punished me when i hit her
He supports abusing his daughter by his sons.
I've been told that, but it was always in a light-hearted "of course I'm joking nobody is actually that insane" kind of way.
5:23 wow he is so used to abusing his kids, its a reflex to push them.
Physical wounds heal, but fear does not. Those children are NEVER truly safe, and living in "fight or flight" mode 24/7 has irreparable effects on a DEVELOPING BRAIN. Cody _(edit: all 4 kids)_ will have to deal with severe anxiety for the rest of his life, I guarantee it. I am grateful for the progress we've made in recognizing emotional/mental abuse as it should be, on the same level of any other abuse, but it's still not good enough that people can watch their content and question if those children are being abused because they're not being *beaten* beaten (on camera). For all the others I know who have suffered even SEVERE physical abuse, the problems that stay with them are the result of the constant FEAR, the emotional betrayal, the anxiety, the terror, and the constant panic _(during which toxic, corrosive stress hormones are pumping through their brain & body)_ - and usually the verbal and mental abuse that accompanied it: the tearing down of their self esteem and self worth. It's not the bruises they got in those moments that still affect them today.
Exactly!
The lasting damage from abuse is rarely physical, but often mental.
Emotional abuse is intensified mental abuse as well, and should be taken just as seriously as physical abuse.
People just don't want to acknowledge that because then they'd actually have to behave.
Thank you for noticing this. As a survivor of childhood abuse and narcissism, I’m 24 and I still have night terrors, anxiety, eating disorders and depression. I spent so much of my life denying what happened because I didn’t want to feel like less than. Now I devote myself to children so they don’t have to feel the way I did. It’s truly a lifelong battle and the psychological terror never goes away. I still don’t really know what it’s like to have a healthy romantic relationship.
I hope that over time, healing comes to you, that you gain a support network that helps you with your pain, and that the terror does eventually go away. I hope you have a healthy relationship, romantic or not, that heals you.
Magus Silveresti Awww why thank ya, that’s very sweet! I’m doing SO much better now that I’m an adult and I’ve realized what was “wrong with me” for so long. I’m one of those people who seem really well adjusted to the world, because I fake it extremely well. But finding spirituality and what I’m passionate about has helped the ongoing healing process. It also helps that I have some amazing people in my life that I can give my love to 😀. Love and light, keep spreading positivity and good luck on your own journey 💕🌻.
can confirm too- i guess i’m still a child, but i’ve dealt with emotional/physical abuse for my entire childhood. and it’s definitely left it’s damage on me. i now deal with things like depression, anxiety (+panic attacks), paranoia, and other things (not going into that). and even my physical health has been affected too in some aspects. i can definitely say that the emotional and verbal abuse has been worse in many aspects, bruises and wounds can heal but words leave damage that don’t repair the same way. and living in a situation where it’s not just me going through it alone has taken it’s toll on me too. i feel helpless and the guilt has carried with me for so long about not being able to do anything. i don’t want to go off on a tangent, but i just wish people would understand the affects their actions have on people. while what i’ve been through has taken me through hell and back, i think it’s made me a stronger person. and i think if i become a parent i’ll be able to make better decisions because i know how horrible it is to feel like you’re alone and helpless.
2:42 "cody is going to grow up to be an actor"... you mean school shooter and victim of suicide right?
It sounds terrible but If those kids don’t get out of there that sounds about right😢
Moon_Gacha 11 update Cody and his other full blood sibling is now living with their biological mother
They're already happy
I hate that mother. For her to refer to her child as "crazy" and just dismiss it. Ugh.
Oh. Now I get it. That's her STEPkid. So she doesn't give a shit. Classy.
nicalycab She a nasty bitch
nicalycab gotta love stepmoms.. I had a "great" one too..
Actually I get the impression that the stepmother cares more for cody than the father.
nicalycab Cody is acting in said videos, as they said in the videos he's gone from drawing money on a street corner for his real mother to wanting to be an actor. He's not "crazy" he just doesn't like crowds, the mum calls his bad behaviour crazy because that's the way the videos work. Even the guy from Kidbehindthecamera admits he's seen the kids cry on command, again it's fake the only reason it became so real was because Phil miss interpretated something that he did not understand...
"I'm as responsible as a security camera at a gas station filming a robbery." -Defranco 2017
I can't believe the parents are acting like the victims. They're basically saying, "You called us out on our child abuse, and therefore our problems are all your fault." They're literally exploiting their own children by verbally, mentally, and physically abusing them ONLINE.
What the hell kind of mindset do you have to have in order to think this way? This is sociopathic.
Yup, it's classic narcissism at play where they need to place the blame on others to justify their own wrongdoings. They are projecting, narcs do not take responsibility for relationship difficulties and exhibit no feelings of remorse. Instead they believe themselves to be the victims in the relationship
In one video, the girl is being bullied by her brothers and the dad starts screaming in her face not to play a victim. These people are stupid abusive hypocrites.
Typical abuser mentality there. "We aren't the problem here, YOU'RE the problem! Look what you did to US! Look what you've FORCED us to do!" I can't tell you how many times my Ex tried that trick with me before I got the guts to leave. Honestly, after seeing this, I'm gonna go hug my family and my best friend. Without them stepping in and forcing me to look at it, I probably wouldn't be here.
other way around, he was a guy, and I'm a chick, but thank you for the sentiment. I do appreciate it
+ImaraRavenfire My mistake. He'll end up like the dad lol 😂 Congrats, girl!
